39:15

This week, we play Otteretto, a puzzle game about making palindromes from colored tiles. We swap strategies, agree that puzzle mode is best, and take a closer look at some of the game’s UI choices. Blake reminds us of a previous puzzle game we played for the podcast, and how a bug in the leaderboard fooled him into believing he had the world’s highest score.

It’s another Edge Guard Seminar special episode! This week, we take aim at the many Wordle clones that have taken the world by storm in recent months. We chat about what makes the original Wordle so popular, as well as what makes it so easy to clone. Then we discuss some of our favorites: a math Wordle, an adversarial Wordle, and more.

This week, we play Bloodborne PSX, a “demake” of the original game in the style of a Playstation 1 game! We talk about the game’s impressive fidelity to the PS1 era: everything from sound, to mechanics, to artificial loading screens. A discussion of the poison sewers prompts Blake tells us about Miyazaki’s love of poison swamps. Find the game here: https://b0tster.itch.io/bbpsx And follow the creator on Twitter: @b0tster…

This week, we play Below the Ocean, an unusual take on the puzzle platformer genre that features an old-timey deep sea diver affixed to an oxygen tank. We talk about the game’s “watery” physics, and Jordan provides game therapy to Blake.

42:22

This week, we play a series of Slovakian text adventure games from the late 80s, which were recently restored and translated as part of a cultural preservation project. The games are surprisingly fun, with a lot of charisma. We talk about their subversive sense of humor and how they manage to find interesting mechanics given their extreme technical limitations.

53:52

This week marks the debut of our new recurring segment: “From Jam to Gem,” an exploration of game jam games that later got a full release. For our first game, we play “Sacrifices Must Be Made,” a Ludum Dare 43 submission by Daniel Mullins that later became Inscryption. We compare the game to its predecessor and explore what the differences and similarities of the two versions tell us about the game’s development process.

42:53

This week, we play Mot’s Grand Prix, a retro pseudo-3D F1 racing game that hearkens back to classic racers from the 80s and 90s. The game is an impressive technical feat — built in PICO8! — and talk about game designers who like technical constraints. We also talk about 3D graphics and the culture of Formula One.

40:53

This week, we talk about Courage: The Videogame, a game that purports to be built from the files of an unfinished PS1 game about Courage the Cowardly Dog. It’s… quite something. Actually, saying anything else would be a spoiler. So… just check it out!

38:59

This week, we explore “i wish you were not here,” a virtual art exhibition built inside Google Streetview. We discuss the creativity of the premise, as well as the dreamy, bizarre style of many of the exhibits. Jordan describes a sculpture as a “glassbown Cronenberg.” Find the game here: https://room69.fun/i-wish-you-were-not-here…

42:43

This week, we play (it’s a mouthful)... “[fr0g] clan official server 24/7 zk map (for stranger),” a game designed by mkapolk for the 2018 Secret Santa at Glorious Trainwrecks. It’s a devilishly difficult game about descending large structures in a Counter-Strike-esque game engine. We talk about why this game is so hard, swap strategies, and speculate about whether its levels were randomly generated.

48:57

This week, we debut the first episode of “Edge Guard Seminars,” where we take a look at a broader theme, mechanic, or idea trending in the indie game space. For this episode, we talk about the current popularity of photography games, inspired by a number of recent games featured on previous episodes. We talk about the history of picture-taking as a mechanic, as well as the different ways that games make use of the photo mode. We conclude that Umurangi Generation is the first photo game to be about taking pictures while still remaining very much a game.…

In this week’s episode, we talk about No Longer Home, a long-awaited narrative game about early-20s ennui, by Humble Grove. We talk about the game’s surreal narrative style and share why we found the climax so poignant. Also, we talk about the new “special episode” format we’ll be experimenting with - tune in next time to check it out!

1:33:01

It’s that time of year again: the 4th annual Edgie Awards are here! Join us as we reminisce about the many wonderful games that we played in the past year, and grant totally sensible and not contrived awards to six of them. Awards are based on entirely objective criteria, such as whether or not they cause Jordan to scream like a tiny baby, and whether they shamelessly rip off assets from other media.…

In this week’s episode, we play Alien Death Mob, an intense twin stick shooter with bullet hell elements. We talk about some of the clever interface and gameplay elements that this game uses to assist the player in navigating the many on-screen elements, and trade opinions on the best strategies for success.

In this week’s episode, we talk about Ynglet, a platformer without platforms by Nifflas. It’s a fascinating game with a unique movement style that immediately captured our attention. We talk about why the game feels so good to play and we’re both impressed with how polished it is. Blake tries to determine whether or not the game takes place in Denmark.
