Indie Gravity Circuit (2023)

Hey, duplicate hunters! Don't merge this with the recent thread about Gravity Circuit 2!

This game is an incredible love letter to not only Megaman, but the platforming genre as a whole. I was stoked from start to finish.

In terms of gameplay, it's more-so inspired by the Megaman Zero games, since you don't have a buster here and your main form of dealing damage is melee.

I think the grappling hook sections were perfectly executed. There were neither too many or too few of them throughout each stage, and the physics were easy to comprehend.

The bosses were some of the best videogame fights I've had in a hot minute!

And the music? BOY!!!!! It's amazing!!

All in all, 10/10 game for me.

I was surprised to find out that this game was made with Löve2D, of all things.

So was Balatro apparently. Interesting! Now I'll be compelled to play around with that engine over the weekend too. I just want a simple 2D engine that would let me make some prototypes of ideas in my head. But I usually get burnt out early on during the learning phase because I start guilt tripping myself "Why am I spending my weekend learning this when, if anything, I should be spending time learning something in my current skill set related to my job?"
And the internal conflict always concludes with an agreement to not learning anything and instead play a game lol
