As someone who has only recently gotten into anime beyond the staples everyone knows... It should be illegal to swap the opening song for an inferior one part way through the run.

Death Stranding is great, but it would be even better if there was zero conflict and I could just deliver packages in the mountains while listening to sad indie music.

Lego Batman has me on a Batman nostalgia and by biggest takes on a revisit are: - Batman '66 is an absolutely amazing superhero spoof. So much fun. - Joel Schumacher's films are flawed, but their art direction is freaking great. I love how much of his aesthetic has made it into various Batman games.

I'm kicking myself for not having played Final Fantasy Tactics sooner. Nabbed Ivalice Chronicles as the next thing from my backlog and this job system is incredible. I was initially worried it might be too complex for my personal tolerance level, but so far I'm loving it.

atallfrog @atallfrog.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

There is an underappreciated art to NPC dialogue writing that so far Lego Batman is nailing. Works best when it is mostly mundane conversation with wild curveballs that snap you out of what you are doing. Just like real life.

Another backlog game take: Ravenswatch is great! Characters are all fun and all feel distinct. I especially dig the abilities that interact with the day/night cycle. Also, I love that groups can split up for a bit and then regroup for harder fights.

I have close to zero knowledge about Backrooms as a property but I love me a good horror movie. Really dug the movie. Loved the clear video game inspirations behind it. Reminded me a lot of Channel Zero which was a great horror tv show that I wish had 20 more seasons.

Slugtrip #review 🐌 🔸 EXPECTATIONS: a trippy pathfinding game. 🔸 REALITY: a distinct pathfinding game mixed with other genre mechanics.

Me (an art snob who can't help but follow trends): I really have to watch The Pitt because everyone keeps talking about how good The Pitt is. My wife (a free thinker): I really have to watch Chicken Nugget because I heard it's about someone turning into a chicken nugget.

Damn, Absolum is absolutely phenomenal. Never would have guessed a game could get me this excited about beat-em ups and the co-op is a blast. I'm gonna a couple years worth of DLC for this one pleeeeease!

atallfrog @atallfrog.bsky.social · 13/03/2026

Couldn't begin to explain the narrative of Reanimal, but this game has the best use of fog/limited visibility since Silent Hill 2. The art direction throughout is absolutely phenomenal and it's one of the only games where I stuck to the recommended low brightness setting. Atmosphere was 10/10

atallfrog @atallfrog.bsky.social · 09/03/2026

Backlog #5: Got around to Spider-Man 2. Not as good as 1 or Miles Morales but still great. This series and Red Dead 2 are pretty much the only open world games where I never want to fast travel. For Spider-Man specifically, it's because the movement controls are so so satisfying.

Backlog #4: Played Indika and while not everything worked for me, it was still a solid experience. Mostly narrative driven, but there was some solid puzzle design it it. The standout for me was the environmental design though, and reminded me of Terry Gilliam, Marc Caro, and Jean-Pierre Jeunet.

atallfrog @atallfrog.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

Backlog #3 done with Thank Goodness You're Here. More proof that "walking simulators" make for incredible interactive experiences no matter what detractors say. All of the comedy bits here land because of how they are connected to repeatedly exploring the same environments and seeing what changes.

Silent Hill 2 Remake completed as the next game in my backlog. Never played the first one, but loved it. No idea how much of the level design made it over from the original, but I thought it was fantastic even by modern standards.

atallfrog @atallfrog.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

Slowly chipping away at my game backlog by finally playing Cocoon and wow... Absolutely fantastic game. The puzzle design is great, but also it's incredible how they are able to communicate all the wonky, plane hopping shenanigans without any part of the game feeling like a tutorial.

atallfrog @atallfrog.bsky.social · 30/12/2025

This one definitely got away from me, but I was spending too much time on it so decided to wrap it up and move on. The subject this time is Dr. Mindskull from Nova Seed (a great one-man animated film which everyone should check out!) #art #sketch #novaseed

Dr. Mindskull from the film Nova Seed man spreading on a cobbled together throne of metal rods with a giant device behind him. Lots of cables hanging from the ceiling and on the floor. It's an IT guy's worst nightmare!!!

With Slugtrip done, my goal is to maintain some momentum with art to keep improving with quick pieces/studies. I also recently did my yearly Over the Garden Wall re-watch and wanted to take a stab at drawing Auntie Whispers (because her character design is fantastic) #art #sketch #overthegardenwall

A drawing of Auntie Whispers from Over the Garden Wall ringing a bell. Above is text that reads "The ringing of the bell commands you!" Wow... super spooky stuff! Also, I'm just realizing I drew her arm too big in comparison to the rest of her body. Whoops!

I'll probably keep doing small touch ups over the next few days, but here's the final level screen for Slugtrip! I'm hoping it gives players some sense of scope in distance traveled to compliment the road trip-y vibes of our game. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame
