I’d played the demo for about five seconds before I was completely sold.

The remaining nineteen-odd minutes were just a bonus.

Devolver makes 2 of my favorite games including Not a Hero and Enter the Gungeon. Sadly my PC is toast so I haven’t played in awhile.

This trailer is fucking hilarious, though.

Seriously, watch it if you want a giggle.

This is my favorite shooting roguelike - seriously - so much replay value.

I chuckle even more because that’s my name, but I don’t own a balaclava.

You should get baklava instead. Much tastier.

not a gamer here, but that looks like a fancy pants side-scroller to me.

Well, there’s only so many types of video games. It is a fancy pants side scroller, though the character mechanic seems new to me. I assume there will be some puzzle elements, you know, having to override switches so you can get through doors and ducts, that sort of thing.

“. . .you’re a slimy lump of pixels with an insatiable hunger for human flesh.”

Not unlike the internet itself.

Nice. I enjoyed this little demo. You can also press a button to spit out a load of mucus to trap your victims and another to let out a roar which will draw humans towards you if you want to get behind them, which you’ll need to do with those who have firearms because they can quickly cut you down.
