Like $5-$10 range or so? Already have all of the AAA Mario / etc stuff but figured I'd ask on the cheap indie stuff. We did Untitled Goose Game, Uncooked 2 and other odd ones but I know some people in here have to have favorites. My kids absolutely love Jamestown+. It's a shmup, which isn't normally a first choice for this type of thing. But it has 4 player couch co-op, many different difficulty settings, a very generous respawn system which means as long as dad is doing great you can power through the more difficult levels while they still feel involved. And there's bonus levels, bonus challenges, the gauntlet, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonebone | 1,307 Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Thanks for the recommendations guys I'll check some out. On the topic of shmup, that's one of my least favorite genres... but, we did download and beat Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime as a family and that was pretty good. That's one I'd recommend even if though it was a bit short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its fast paced team play, controls aren't quite as tight as you'd like but it's a party game that doesn't need to be taken to seriously. Thanks for that! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kickstarter edition is being made by LRG. (I also should have a tombstone with my name on it in the crypt. I will have to go look for it.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know him from when I used to be active in the chip music scene. I know some other video game composers that way too. We don’t really stay in touch because I’m not active in that anymore but I get to see all the cool stuff they are working on (when the Facebook algorithm allows it). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabonga | 2,317 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Another mystery (sorta) solved at Playasia. I did not know this - but playasia has a favorites and a wish list. I haven't figured out how to add to the wish list but the favorites you can add to by clicking on the heart symbol (below the coin balance symbol to the right of the item description). You can access the favorites (and wish if you can figure it out) via the first screen of the shopping cart (makes no sense to me for it to be there but whatever). Particularly useful since a lot of times I see stuff that for various reasons I am not ready to order. And I often forget about unless I scroll through all 16 pages or so of the pre-order list.

The guy doing the review has a slight UWU Kawaii to his speech - he pronounces "th" a "d" and "r" as "w" a lot. "Da primawy way you twaverse is in yo bawwel". (slight exaggeration for effect) Not enough that I think he's putting on an act, but enough that I feel English might not be his first language. Which is fine of course, but really caught me off guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it was priced so cheap it was too good to be true. This is why kickstarters or the like struggle. Pre-Ordering anything from an unknown company is such a gamble Edited April 10 by O.G.
