  • Robots named after poem structures, the end of the human race, and internalized firebombs. What's not to love?
    Oh right, not being able to heal. Yeah, I don't love that.
    Haiku is a wonderful little platformer that came out back in 2022. I meant to play it closer to its release, but...you know...
    But now that we've got (a little) free time, it's time to finally finish the game and its DLCs, all while getting one of the harder achievements : beating the game without using the healing wrench.

    Hey lemon. JK Leeds uploaded his bloodborne canon video, and he found a move in Martyr Logarius' second phase where his projectile shield isn't active. Meaning you could try the Molotov only and see if you could beat him now.

    I like how the game sells you the healing wrench later on in the game in case you missed it earlier.

    The premise reminds me of the PSP Rengoku. The story is you're a robot in a battle tower area and you fight your way to the top of the tower and drop everything on death for the entertainment of people. It just happens that the people all died off and the robots were still stuck fighting forever.

Your videos inspire me to keep playing games even if sometimes it’s hard to stay doing things I love due to mental disorders and stuff. Your videos always entertain me but also don’t take the charm of games. You give me the itch to play and explore while learning of games in a way that not that many others have done. Stay safe, stay strong and keep at it. You are amazing and loved!

    Totally agree on the sentiment of giving players control over their environment and mobility options. Nothing feels better in a game, especially a platformer of some kind, than to be given a bunch of really cool mobility options, and feeling yourself slowly get more skilled at using them efficiently.
