Had Void Prison (Steam/Switch) on my list of things to try since spotting it in January, finally remembered to grab it whilst picking up Akka Arrh because I can never have too many arcade games to play about with. It’s good!
Dead simple stuff. Try and stay alive as long as possible whilst the recoil from your weapon and the force of the enemies/enemy fire works to push you towards the boundary. In a bind you can dodge roll your way to temporary safety, or just further into danger. Hit the boundary and the round is over.
In a nutshell, it’s Enter The Gungeon reimagined as a sumo wrestling match. A little bit Motos, a little bit Sumo, a whole lot of Gungeon. Rounds are over incredibly fast (think seconds or minutes) and it’s all just about staying alive as long as possible to get that score going up.
There’s nothing especially new here but it is a fairly delicious combination and I’m having a fine time with it. For a couple of quid it’s an absolute bargain and well worth a punt.
Google is broken, social media is fragmented (this one, at least, is a good thing) the internet is an AI toilet. Getting someone to look at your stuff on online is getting ridiculously rough. Sharing a post amongst chums or the internet at large helps loads. So here’s some buttons! Wahey!
The online home of Rob Fearon, disabled videogame maker, games journalist, crap film watcher, gobshite and doodler. Rob’s been around games a very, very long time now and Punching Robots Club is their personal blog featuring whatever nonsense takes their fancy.
Sometimes it’s a sketch, a review, an article about videogames, a pointer to something Rob finds cool. Whatever, really. Expect anything, Rob’s tired of being a brand online and so it’s just stuff and things these days. Nice stuff and things, mind you.
