Would be cool if JA3 doesn't stink

Similar reaction. Game looks aesthetically pleasing, but it feels very hard to innovate within the matrix of a sidescroller, so unless you are a diehard sidescroller player, might not offer something amazing. The game also crashed a lot for me so I didn't get very far and just gave up on it. There wasn't a big hook here that would have made me want to persist through crashes.

Haven't played this one, but take a look at Peaks of Yore. Make sure to turn off all of the postprocessing so you get simple polygons.

Had CTDs with this one, too. Looks like I didn't miss much, but the core concept seems entertaining if they flesh it out.

I need to get around to trying this one. I have this habit of putting off bigger demos till the end.
Looks like a blast, will definitely check it out and hope to see you on there
The game is outstanding, guys. Nuff said. Made by four people. It goes to show how out of touch big development studios are when gameplay takes a back seat and they can't make something with the fun factor.
Fun demo on this one if you like perspective shift type games like Superliminal
It sounds like Bull would be a good character for you to choose
No coop yet!
I agree, it's hard to find games that just throw you in the deep end nowadays without a gentle progression curve and meta upgrades. Incidentally, check out the Odinfall demo on Steam (if it doesn't crash on you, devs patched it and introduced a CTD regression). It's a tough as nails spiritual successor to Nuclear Throne that actually feels like it was cast in the same mold.
Check out the game A Musical Story. It's ostensibly a rhythm game, but I don't think there is a failure condition other than that you have to keep trying the music loop until you clear it to get to the next vignette. It's sort of a wordless short story told through animated slides and deeply groovy musical interludes
Sorry about that, I've edited the correct link into the top post.
Don't play official servers, modded servers (moderated) are where it's at. Many unique, standalone maps like Namalsk and Deer Isle. There are zillions of servers catering to everything from hardcore survival to basebuilding
