I'm very sorry if anyone is having déjà vu . This video is a reimagining and rescripting of an early video that I unlisted because I thought it was long-winded and poorly organized. I think this video is a big improvement but still contains all the important original ideas. You can still find the original with the following link, but I don't recommend it - this new one is better: ua-cam.com/vid...

I've been obsessed with Penny's Big Breakaway and so I wanted to make this short game review. I think the other reviews can miss what's magic about this game and I wanted to be specific about what in the game design is working so well for me.

A Philosophy of Mini-bosses (Devlog 7)
Переглядів 434Рік тому
If you want to try Flame Land, you can download it for free here: 5minutegames.itch.io/flame-land-preview Tried something a little different for this video. I'm also worried that I might be wrong about the DKC bosses - that maybe they have zero RNG. I had to replay them to get the footage, and found that I just generally found them frustrating to hit - the RNG wasn't really the problem.
