Wow, that is REALLY hard on the eyes, at least mine. I'm also seeing quite a lot of enemies that blend into the blackground which adds to the need to squint a lot. I don't imagine it makes fighting them any easier, although I don't think that's the "brutal" difficulty the devs are talking about.

Even that short trailer has me wanting to look at anything else.

I've only gotten through the first two levels, but I think in a lot of ways I like it more than Vampire Survivors. Altogether an amazing game.

Never did finish Cross Code, but I'm down for this too.

I've still got a copy of DoomRL on my machine from back when it had ASCII graphics.

It doesn't work, but I have it. Something to do with an "Access Violation".

I played the demo for this last year and it seemed to be on the right track. Core gameplay was pretty good, and to look at the trailer it seems they maintain that well.

Hmm.

Afterplace on Steam: CDN $16.56

Afterplace on Itch: USD $5.94

I know the exchange rate isn't great these days, but this is a little much.

Downloading it now, but I'm kind of afraid that all this stuff is gonna kill performance on older systems. I'm hopeful it'll still be playable for me, but we'll see in a bit.

Edit: To my surprise, it works fine. I haven't been in the water or into space yet, but standard early game operation seems smooth.

I played the demo during the last Next Fest, and I don't think they had the hint system implemented there. I really could have used it for at least one of the puzzles. It's generally not bad, although the pixel style can be a problem when you're really close up to some objects. The Vulkan issue BloodScourge mentions might address that though.

I noticed a while ago that the name had changed on my wishlist. Definitely don't agree that the old name was inferior or hard to remember, I thought it was very memorable and evocative. Definitely different from many other games, so it stood out to me.

Nice to see it's progressing well though.
