In a similar vein to Baba is You, there's Hempuli's prior work "Environmental Station Alpha", which is a much more Metroid-like platformer with gun combat. Still a few puzzles and maybe a similar kind of environmental tone / sense of humor, but might be a more friendly format for Let's Playing than a puzzle game where some days I just look at a puzzle for an hour and don't figure it out that time, have to wait until tomorrow or the next day.

environmental station alpha is, for what it's worth, the best metroidvania of all time

About Baba is You, I would love to see an LP of it, but at the same there are plenty of LPs of this game already.

Just to be clear, chances are if this LP were to happen it would get the Worst LP and Best LP award at the same time. There will be lots of comments about shouting at the screen. Consider it yourself whether it's a good or a bad thing.

Honestly if he's going to play what seems to be a harder expansion of the sequel, he should start with the first game in the series. It's translated into English and it provides the context for the settings and the characters in the series.

Yuruhuwa Souls games are April Fools jokes where there's a new standalone extra-hard level, so probably not

tried that new game.... its hard.. not as hard as that april fool game but hard. hard is an understatement i think the whole game was "vs desunoya". if you can beat vs desunoya which i cant, you have a shot at this until there are some advance technique that block by a language barrier..

since raocow beat mariari 2, should i request Reverse X reverse??? or mariari 2 remake?

Man. Every time I'm reminded that Nitrome is still at it...

I'm hit with a wave of nostalgia, I try to remember what flash games of theirs I played 12 years ago, but mostly fail to remember any specific ones. But they had a distinctive art style and menu-formula to their games that was really noticeable at the time, so it's hard to forget that they've been around since forever. And while they make a much wider variety of games now, I can definitely recognize that game's art style as Shovel Knight As Done By Nitrome.

oh since you brought up skullgirl: the girl who was a skull on tumblr



upcoming game from the same developers, it's basically a platformer meets turn-based-but-not-really RPG combat sort of thing? i remember enjoying the indiegogo demo years back and it's finally gonna be released in a few months, figure it might be something rao would wanna play anyways

i think rayman legends is already captured as a future todo but it'd be interesting to see raocow play thru the original rayman games sometime too, aka 1 thru 3 (maybe the portable versions too? and rayman 2 has like 50 different versions so i dunno how that problem would be solved)
i just really wanna see raocow play rayman 1, mostly. it's honestly got the same "most of the challenge is in learning levels and once you get it down it's not too hard" vibe to it
it'd also be neat to see raocow play through the designer level pack too since i honestly like those levels more than a lot of the main game,

Been playing this recently and think raocow would really enjoy it. My thoughts so far from the thread:
I've also been playing Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight, since my copy from Limited Run Games arrived. It's super fun so far; reminds me of Rabi-Ribi a bit, actually. Seems to be on the shorter side but MAN is it fun to play. I'd actually like to see raocow LP it. It would be right up his alley. It's the fourth in the series but it's a prequel in the storyline apparently, so it seems to be a good place to jump in.
