About ButtonMash

You play as Joy, a lost controller trying to find their buttons back after you've been smashed to pieces. As a 2D platformer, you will have to cross a cyberpunk style city, and a fantasy filled forest using the simple buttons you can find, and some of the more advanced ones. You may start with only being able to move to the left, or the right, and it is your job to use your movement abilities to find the rest of them. Over each level you will find your normal movement abilities scattered across the world, such as moving to the left, the right, and jumping. The move advanced buttons you'll find are the grappling hook, dash, and shoot ability. Good luck, and watch out for dragons.

"ButtonMash" is a simple but really mediocre 2D retro platformer with somewhat janky controls and hitboxing, and a rather average "meta" theme about being a game controller. Which is funny because this is on PC so most gamers are using keyboard and mouse. Did they not know that before they designed the game? A bit of research goes a long way. Anyway, there's a swinging mechanism and wall jumping and some other more modern platformer stuff but the overall quality is very very low, which undoubtedly lead to the dead silent public reception. The game features really lacklustre 2D visuals (does the developer not know 3D graphics became mainstream in the mid-1990s?). Gamers don't spend thousands of dollars on gaming rigs to pretend they're mobile phones or Commodore 64s. Not every "free" game really is. There's often MTX, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of things that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service to themselves, and the gamin…

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
