Stream: Queer Games Bundle 2023 showcase part 2
I return to the Queer Games Bundle 2023 for another set of nine interesting indie games that caught my eye. You can get the bundle of 467 items for US$60 (or on a sliding scale if you can't afford the full price) and directly support queer creators here: https://itch.io/b/1812/queer-games-bu...
Games played:
-Space Yugoslav 2D, by Affordable Care Games. A Gradius-like horizontal shmup with a fun retro-futurist theme. I got a few levels in and moved on. https://affordable.itch.io/space-yugo...
-Manglepaw, by resnijars. A surreal first-person point-and-click adventure about exploring a strange train station to find your muse. I explored a bit, played a few minigames, and got an early ending with the lizard person. https://resnijars.itch.io/manglepaw
-Blickety Block, by Sippin Hot. A charming arcadey game, with Balloon Fight-esque mechanics and a woodblock art style. I did a few runs and unlocked two characters. https://sippinhot.itch.io/blickety-block
-Turtle Quest, by Sipping Tea Media. A short, cute adventure game about helping your tortoise get to their birthday party. https://sipping-tea-media.itch.io/tur...
-You Did a Bad Thing Nyk 2: Hell City, by nykTV. A cute little pixel platformer about an anthropomorphic dog escaping from hell. It purports to be "NES hard" but wasn't too bad, and quite short, plus it has a cool double-jump. I cleared the game but didn't get all coins. https://nyktv.itch.io/you-did-a-bad-t...
-Nothing Dies in Dreamland, by obliviist. A strange one this, it has you roaming a small townlike space in a dream, finding objects scattered around to throw into the water within a minute. I did a few runs and found some interesting corners. https://obliviist.itch.io/nothing-die...
-Not Alone, by Jess Andz. A short adventure game with some horror imagery, what it lacks in length it makes up for with a beautiful hand-drawn art style. https://jess-andz.itch.io/not-alone
-Elephantasy Flipside, by Linker. A lovely platformer adventure in a world made up of isometric diorama screens. I had a little roam around and found some cool stuff but didn't get too far in. https://linker.itch.io/eleflipside
-Sock Goblin, by alexpritc. A funny little Bitsy game about a frog collecting odd socks. https://alexpritc.itch.io/sock-goblin
