Hey folks!
WOW, we just wrapped up our 200th stream today!
In celebration of this milestone, @shakao, @livcheerful, @jwunderl, @darzu, @hassan, and I played our favorite games from the last 100 streams.
You can watch the whole thing here: https://youtu.be/rfECAKbGiRY
And also make sure you check out our favorites from streams 0-100.
Stream 112 - Gacha Jobs
Vivian - ANIMALS WITH JOBS are so cool. I like seeing all the art, I like seeing the different combinations of different animals with different jobs, I like that the ball spins before I get to see whatâs in it â itâs a simple concept but it makes me sooooooo happy
Stream 116 - CATch Some Fish
Shannon - A straightforward concept executed perfectlyâthis game has a simple one-button mechanic that is still super rewarding to replay and try to top your high score. And the title and exit sequences are incredible!
Stream 123 - Stable Table
Daryl - This simple game about making tables demonstrates how trivial carpentry really is. In all seriousness, this is a great example of a game where you can have a lot of fun even though thereâs very little traditional gameplay.
Richard - Thatâs a table!
Stream 125 - Fastest Dog in the West
Hassan - This game has a lot of personality, I love the drawings of the different dogs you beat on your way to becoming the fastest dog in the west
Stream 128 - Spinning Dishes
Vivian - This game is a feat of human engineering! I like that it is based on skill - how skilled you are at packing a dishwasher to maximize water efficiency. You can try to rotate the dishes to get them to fit into the dishwasher better, but the pressure of always having ANOTHER dish to come might force you to make decisions youâre not proud of.
Stream 137 - Fruit flies when youâre having fun
Daryl - I personally find this game very addicting, and I think it shows how much fun chaotic yet controllable gameplay can be. I also think the unlockable powers add a nice progression mechanic.
Stream 148 - Tower of the Ice Cream Fellow
Hassan - A simple but fun game
Joey - At first it feels impossible, but if you keep going and get a feeling for it you too can stack ice cream scoops well into the dozens. Challenging but (kind of) fair!
Stream 149 - Flower free fall
Vivian - Is this game fun for other people or just me? I donât know, but what I DO know is I canât stop trying to get a higher score D:<. Try to bump the flowers into the matching colored bins at the bottom and gain points. And a bee comes and picks them up!
Stream 146 - Corgipillar
Joey - Simple enough game but a++ concept, really like the corgis different emotions / the end screen
Stream 155 - Hamlet
Shannon - Donât know much about Shakespeareâs classic literary masterpiece, Hamlet? Neither do we! This game has some of my favorite art along with a very loose retelling of a random scene we picked from the middle of Hamlet. What more could you want?
Richard - Maybe the most fun Iâve had doing a stream? Also make sure you check out our table reading.
Stream 157 - Master of Simple Machines
Joey - This oneâs a thinker! Not only will you learn about the power of simple machines, but it may save your life if you ever find yourself stopped a deadly âdoor with no handleâ or a dastardly âpile of potatoesâ
Richard - Inclined planes forever!!!
Stream 169 - Tony Albatross: Pro Dolphin
Daryl - I think this is the best example of a trick-based game weâve had on stream, and I love the setting and feel of the gameplay.
Hassan - Itâs a lot of fun to build up speed to get as high up as possible while doing tricks. It reminds me a lot of Ecco the Dolphin which I l enjoyed playing as a kid
Richard - I think this might be the most fun game weâve made, going for high scores is just so addicting!
Stream 183 - Golphers
Shannon - Golphers is awesome but please watch the end of this stream to see Vivian obliterate the game in like three minutes without missing a beat!
