About Me

hello

i'm a 21yr old boy currently living in swamptown, ontario, more commonly known as waterloo.
i recently dropped out of art school to focus on sleeping.
when i was tiny my sister asked for a genesis and i was introduced to my favourite game to this day, toejam & earl.

the interaction between humans and electricity via games/techno/pizza gets me genuinely excited.
i'll happily waste the hours away discussing these things with you, whenever you've the time.

Shortblog: ACTION TURNIP!!!

hello dtoid,


Not a lot of time to write about this, but if you like charming indie games that suck up a lot of your time, head over to Kongregate and check out ACTION TURNIP, a fun run & gun platformer from Raitendo.


The game has really pleasant music, and a nice mix of gameplay that is essentially Cannabalt plus guns. There is even a TURNABALT mode, in which you just do the whole run-as-far-as-you-can type deal.
Action Turnip doesn't hide the fact that it's heavily inspired by other games, with your main character sprouting streams of Bit.Trip Runner-esque rainbows from the back of him when you enter the Combo mode. Regardless, Raitendo knows how to make fun, and that is certainly something this game is.
On top of that, it has a really nice hand drawn art style, and the music is classic and delightful.

That's all I needed to say, the link again is HERE

I actually really like indie game coverage on the c-blogs, I've been looking to get into it but am too lazy to look, so this is kinda perfect

I'm so glad you informed me of this. I've always been into indie games but they are hard as hell to learn about.
