TACO SMASH

I think I'm gonna design and publish a game. Now I've given this some thought, and I have a potential concept that I'm pretty excited about.

So like, check this: You're at a park or a playground or something and all these kids are having fun swinging and playing tag and storming the jungle gym and flipping through the spider web thing, but you notice that one of the kids's mothers is coming to pick him or her up, and this kid's mom is trying to pull him off of the monkey bars.


You are Senor Liberator (pronounced Lih-beh-rah-TOR) and you notice this oppression and will not stand for it any longer so you put on your poncho and sombrero and free this child by slapping away his mom or doing a taco smash or something.

You keep this up for every mom that comes by and gradually you gain the kids' trust and respect.

1156 deaths and counting

In vvvvvv, you play as the captain of an interdimensional spaceship. You and your crew are doing whatever it is that you constantly smiling dudes do when, oh noes! your spaceship crashes into what is presumably a planet lined with spikes and pitfalls in a dimension far far away. Your job now is to scour through and around this place in search of your stranded spaceshipmates, all of whom are named after colors that start with the letter 'v'.

That's Vitellary.

And after the extremely short introduction, you're tossed into uninterrupted, unadulterated platforming bliss, but the thing is, you can't even jump. Not even over that little box blocking that shiny trinket.

I heard Computer Magic the other day and her 80s inspired, pitch shifting synths made me question my hate for the era.
