Apparently the Dpad is crap, but otherwise no.

Gghhjjj 2nd place. Strangely I've had a lot of luck when pissing around trying to learn to four-wide, rather than going for Tetrises. I've yet to come remotely close to pulling off the four-wide start for what it's worth. People weren't joking when they said it wasn't simple!

This is wonderful - only made it to 10th so far but that's largely because I'm quite bad at Tetris. Really must learn some strategies, most stuff I'm aware of is better suited to 1v1 Tetris.

It's more the timing than the activity, but...

I have to paint a ceiling tonight and all I want to do is defend pancakes. Curse you, adulthood.

That sounds wonderful and I've never heard of it. Will definitely check it out when I'm back with my iPad later.

Tony Temple, Missile Command world record holder and all round excellent man does a lot of restorations: https://arcadeblogger.com Maybe some inspiration and useful contacts on here. If nothing else it's great reading!

The rewards you get can be cool - you'll earn a lot of money from it and it's the best way to get food and drink tickets. Realistically though if you don't enjoy it as much as the other modes you can get by without it.

I really liked Blade Strangers but as Stanshall says, nobody is playing online and it's been that way since launch. If you do buy it, give me a shout as I'd love to shake the rust off and get some matches in.

This is utterly magnificent

LOVE is releasing on Switch, excellently, on Valentine's Day 2019: https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-Switch-download-software/LOVE-1502608.html It's a tricky platformer with instant restart and either infinite lives or a comical amount of them, in which you can place your own checkpoints. The hook is that it encourages you to replay many times to reduce deaths/time/etc I played it on PC and really enjoyed it - £2.29 is a nice price too.

Q1 was really good, but the dungeons got proper intimidating towards the end. They got bigger each time you moved on to a new section and each floor was several individual puzzles all meshed together. I really enjoyed it (along with the art style and writing, which are both almost like caricatures of the mainline games) and should probably buy this one as I was lucky enough to get the first one as review code. It looks delightful.

Found this the other day. Riffs/Doom/Sludge. It's absolutely wonderful. https://bandofworry.bandcamp.com/album/a-celebration-of-suffering
