It is hard to believe that the second PlayDate season is almost over, but here we are in the fifth week with another straw of new games that remained after that. In the last batch, we climbed Metroidvania, Tiny turnipAnd A happy salvation of a chanceA short adventure that leans into absurdity. In accordance with the rest of the games of this season, which were constantly very solid, they are both damn funny.
Tiny turnip
Tiny turnip This is one of the outstanding this season for me. It is in a sweet place of strange, slightly complicated and extremely attractive, and I could not postpone it as just starting to play. And the soundtrack absolutely rules.
This is Metroidvania about an ambitious root vegetable that reaches for the stars. Literally. Turnip makes a desire, germinates his hands and goes to the sky. The subsequent adventure occurs on an unexpectedly huge map and requires a lot of accurate, calculated movements, when you focus on gaps, moving obstacles and hazardous environment, open the hidden rooms and collect the keys to access the locked areas. Ultimately, the goal is to get crystal vegetables that are scattered on the map so that the dreams of little turnip can come true, but there are also stars that can be collected for the finaling us.
Go in this game funA field for normal rise you use a crank to move your arms individually, pressing B to hold on the Grabbable surface and switch your hands. But as you move, you raise more abilities so that turnip can move in other ways, for example, twisting hands to roll, swim, jump, etc.
I like how this game uses the handle, and this is really just an explosion for the game.
A happy salvation of a chance
There are several things that you need to know about the chance: “The happiest dog in the world”: 1) it is approximately like AndFortunately, he was lucky, but 2) He is not a bad guy, he just steals cars and sometimes rob Banks! He is also some kind of minister for the dogs of the mafia. IN A happy salvation of a chance -Super short, adventure game with a mystery from the point of view
The game is described as “inspired by cartoons of the 80s and absurd comedic films,” and it definitely reflects these vibrations. Each script ends, completely ridiculous. To find out how to get a chance from the riots in which he ended up, for example, stuck in the sewer after he got into the open hatch or trying not to drown, tied to a chair under water, requires some thought and creativity. But not one of the puzzles is extremely heavy, which makes things, feeling light and stupid.
At the very beginning, you were informed that you need to use a crank, a microphone, and even an accelerometer in some points, which was a convenient knowledge in moments when I felt for a short while, pressing each clicking element and still without getting to nowhere. In case of doubt, just start trying strange things and something will probably work (WhiteA few weeks agoPrepared me for this).
As I said earlier, this is quite short, but it is just the right length to pick up your lunch break. I could completely see this series, and I would gladly plunge into the error of Sanchan if new episodes in his saga were ever made.
