Quest of Dungeloria

A pretty decent little game to scratch that indie itch. One will have to look past a few rough edges to see the soul and dedication that went into it. It's not a market-tailored "product" but a salt of the earth creation that makes its way to touch your heart and leave a warm, unordinary feel of "whoa" and a little smile. Worth every penny.

I played a dev version of this game, and it had many interesting ideas combined to create a nice metroidvania experience. Excited to finally play the completed version! Update: Now that I beat the game I can expand a bit more. The most fun part for me was probably the platforming challenges. Not too easy to be beaten instantly first try, but not too hard to be very frustrating. The overall exploration aspect is also great. The game is small enough that getting lost is not too much of a problem, as you can quickly explore all the known landmarks, especially with fast travel, and check whether you missed something at any of them. The ability progression system is pretty good, because even at the endgame you don't feel too overpowered, as you can only have one major ability active at a time. The battles were the one aspect that felt like it was a bit lagging behind the other ones. The regular enemies pose a good level of challenge, and the later enemies get more interesting. However, the feeling of the battle, the handling of it is not there. I would say the game is more focused on its platforming aspect than the battle one. Boss battles are similar. There are all the basic aspec…

One of the best arcade games I've played this year. If you a fan of spectacular retro-style arcades, and can appreciate handdrawn backgrounds, quite a hardcore gameplay and unusual visual style, then it's a game for you!

Been keeping an eye on this game for a while. It brings back great nostalgia for the times when we got story-driven platformers like this. It's simple on the surface, but very warm and enjoyable. Recommended for retro platformer fans.

Using this as a note for my bolognese recipe. Don't mind me, don't mind ****ing me, i'm just a clumsy man looking for my notes. Ingredients: ▢ 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil ▢ 2 garlic cloves , minced ▢ 1 onion , finely chopped (brown, yellow or white) ▢ 1 lb / 500g beef mince (ground beef) OR half pork, half beef (Note 1) ▢ 1/2 cup (125 ml) dry red wine (sub water or beef broth/stock) ▢ 2 beef bouillon cubes , crumbled OR granulated beef bouillon (Note 2) ▢ 800g / 28 oz can crushed tomato (or tomato passata) ▢ 2 tbsp tomato paste ▢ 2 tsp white sugar , if needed (Note 3) ▢ 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce ▢ 2 dried bay leaves ▢ 2 sprigs fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp dried thyme or oregano) ▢ 3/4 tsp cooking salt (kosher salt) ▢ 1/2 tsp black pepper

Its fine. A little slow. Having to swap items constantly gets annoying. I also had to farm gold a lot for these goblins which was frustrating. The full health doors were more of a nuisance than fun. Movement felt good and exploration was fun. Bosses were pretty mid. Going to end up in my C tier for MVs
