The Recommend Me a Game Game

Wow, already a game at -2...

This only intrigues me more...

The Grumpy Knight Review

Chrono Cross was an excellent game with an underutilized cast, too. From a gameplay perspective, you definitely took that idea in a cool direction; Chrono Cross's characters generally tended to play the same, and I found your classes to be distinct and interesting.

The Recommend Me a Game Game

Marrend, try limiting it to one recommendation of another's game and one recommendation of your own game per post as per the rules (see my post above yours for the formatting).

Though, if this forum game never takes off, I might just turn this into a recommendation thread. I was hoping to make a recommendation thread that encouraged a bit more interactivity, but if it's unnecessarily complex then I'll drop it.

A Very Long Rope to the Top of the Sky

Getting the formatting like that was a lot wonkier than I'd expect. You have to set up a table to allow the image to be adjacent to the text instead of under it, which took me a while to figure out, but I HAD to do it.

Really digging the new battle tune, by the way. :D

Yes! I got mixed feedback from my friends, but I thought it was really sweet.

A Very Long Rope to the Top of the Sky

Glad you're sticking with it. Spoilers ahead:

Mint's death is going to majorly impact the characters, particularly Ivy, as you've probably seen already. You can buy sleep accessories at the merchant that hangs out outside of the mine, but that's sort of a moot point since you made it past that one; I do that fight without anti-sleep accessories, too. Also, not sure if you're doing this, but Oliver can equip staves, which makes him a better healer.

The Recommend Me a Game Game

You're doing it right StarSkipp. You can also recommend your own game in addition to recommending another's. So, here's a sample post from my perspective:

+1 to the The God of Crawling Eyes.
+2 to The Grumpy Knight.
-1 to Halloween Bash.

Or I could not attack and say:
+1 to the The God of Crawling Eyes.
+2 to The Grumpy Knight.

Or I could not recommend my own game and say:
+2 to The Grumpy Knight.
-1 to Halloween Bash.

Or I could only recommend another game, like you did:
+2 to The Grumpy Knight.

So, in other words, while you can recommend your own game and downvote another person's game, you have to recommend someone else's game. So you're fine. I'd prefer the format I used in this post for keeping tabs on this more easily, but saying "defend," "attack," etc. is fine too. If you want to recommend your own game, too, you can StarSkipp. Sorry if my initial post was too vague.

The Recommend Me a Game Game

Addit's tutorial about the importance of networking hit me square in the jaw. I like to pretend I'm a tortured artist, isolate myself in my room, and write, compose, or make games. This hasn't been the best way to meet new people, so I came up with this game to expose me to more people and their games. Here's the deal: I want to play more games on this site, but there are so many that I don't know what to pick. I'm giving everyone here a chance to recommend me a game. Here are the rules:

1) This game is broken up into rounds. A round lasts until I've chosen a game.
2) Players can do any combination of the following in their post, but please limit yourself to no more than one of each category:
+2 points to a game other than your own.
+1 point to one of your own games.
-1 point to someone else's game.
3) Players can only take one turn per round, but they can comment in the thread before or after their "turn."
4) Points carry over to the next round.
5) The winning game will be played to completion and reviewed by me. I think I'm a fairly tough critic, especially with regard to writing, so keep in mind that winning might be a double-edged sword.
6) In the advent of a tie, I'll use my own discretion to pick a winner from the games that have the highest scores (in other words, I'll pick whichever one grabs me).

Here are the games I will play:
-Fun games.
-Crappy games.
-Games with the standard battle system of your engine.
-Games with neat custom battle systems.
-Games with no battle systems at all.
-Short games.
-Long games.
-Hard games.
-Easy games.
-Red games, blue games, old games, new games.

Here are the games I will NOT play:
-Incomplete games or demos.
-Episodic games--unless all the episodes are complete.
-Games that are so buggy I can't possibly beat them.
-Games that are so difficult that I can't possibly beat them. Keep in mind, though, that I can take a lot of pain.
-Commercial games.
-Games that I have already played and reviewed. Here's a list:

Halloween Bash
Halloween Flop (I kind of implicitly reviewed this in my Halloween Bash review)
Teenage Costume Squad
The Grumpy Knight
Dhux's Scar


Additionally, if you're seriously interested in working with me in the future, present, or, through some temporal anomaly, the past, shoot me a message. I'm a story and music guy, so you should probably play A Very Long Rope to the Top of the Sky to see my writing and music preferences; The God of Crawling Eyes will give you a decent idea in a shorter space, but it's not as representative of the direction I'd want to go in (I'm still open to horror games in the future; I just don't want to be pigeon holed). I'm also wanting to work towards commercial projects, so if that's not something you're interested in doing at least at some point in the future, it's probably best that we don't work together.

That's it! I'd like to play a lot of good games from this and hopefully meet some cool people to form a team.

Halloween Bash Review

Thanks. I've got a lot of free time right now, so I may go on a bit of a review bender. I mean, I just have, like, the entire backlog of games on this site to go through.

A Very Long Rope to the Top of the Sky

You should be a high enough level at this point. Here's the strategy I would use:

-Have Cyril and Ivy use their group attacks until the two soldiers die.
-Have Mint use vitalize every turn--including the first, since Rutger's faster.
-Buff Ivy's attack with Leif, and then start buffing everyone's defense--use items with him where needed.
-Once Rutger's two soldiers die (preferably simultaneously), just guard and heal for three turns until Rutger's buffs wear off, then he should be pretty easy.
-Alternatively, status effects will work on the soldiers, so confusing, sleeping, or paralyzing them is an option.


Let me know how it goes!

A Very Long Rope to the Top of the Sky

I'm glad it's still engaging you! And, yeah, I'd totally love to get a review--any attention this game could get would be great. Now that I've got some time off, I'll probably be playing some more games and firing off reviews (just submitted one a second ago).
