Now one of the Hexbear’s most mythical posters made a post about the aforementioned game, which has been unfortunately erased.
I am here to pick up the slack, very slackly…
UFO 50 is an indie game project sarcastically aping the legendarily shitty game Action 52, but actually being good. Meaning, it is a game with 50 games of differing genres, but it also has games worth playing! It has deep backstory, as all indie games have to have, but I am here just to share my top 5 favorites…and not to be too toxic-ally positive, my top 5 least favorites!
Top 5:
- Waldorf’s Journey: You are a walrus flying in a dream world. The game play consist of launching the main animal across the arena, with some great mechanics, like a shop held by a bourgeois penguin princess!
- Hyper Contender: An arena fighting game with very interesting movement an attack options.
- Bushido Ball: Pong, Windjammers, and fighting games meet in this incredible versus game.
- Pilot Quest: Now here is where the retro kayfabe may start to fall. It is an passable action game akin to Zelda, but with some idle game mechanics…!
- Night Manor: Now this is just an first person puzzle solving game that has really logical problems! You may encounter a problem while solving things, but you will persevere.
Bottom 5
- Onion Delivery: It is like a top down Crazy Taxi, except the car controls like a badly controlling thing, and you cannot deliver anything.
- Cyber Owls: Five types of gameplay, and they are so fucking unfairly hard, that you stop playing.
- Fist Hell: A beat em up with enemies who do not die quickly enough and who you cannot beat up while they lie on the ground.
- Valbrace: An dungeon crawler which has Punch Out -like action sequences instead of turn based battles. Now this would be good, but the game is also unforgiving and esoteric with its mechanics.
- Block Koala: I just hate Sokoban!
The actual correct top 5:
- Mooncat
- Avianos
- Velgress
- Party House
- Valbrace
I gotta check this thing out finally. The whole concept is the entire reason I wanted to make games in the first place: “I should make [insert game here] but good!”
I haven’t played it yet but I saw others stream some of it. I about jumped out of my chair when I saw they had Quibbles Race!! I used to play that constantly on my windows 98 computer or whatever at the time. It was easy and simple and the remake seems the same but it was such a good concept. I’m glad to see that developer is still doing things because I haven’t thought of Quibbles in like 15 years.
i’ve been getting into onion delivery lately actually. figuring out how to drift helped a lot
I hope it gets ported to consoles. I really want to play this game!
