He's not seeing Heaven. When I played this the game kept glitching out during the nightmare sequences and I could fly everywhere like 6 inches off the ground but if I went too far off the invisible paths you would instantly die. I thought this is just how it was designed and was even more pissed off than you lol

Sky Kid pretty simple horizontal shmup. no powerups, you just fly a biplane that can shoot bullets or do a flip. the sprites are very small, so you can see a lot of the screen, but not enough that you aren't likely to accidentally fly into a cliff when one suddenly shows up. i would say that's maybe the worst thing about the game: having more space on the screen should make it so that you can see what's in front of you, which you can't always do in shmups where your ship is bigger, but you really can't. it's a waste of the minimalist art.  anyway, despite how simple the art is, they put a lot of effort into it. you go past things like the pyramids, the sphinx, cities, bridges, angry suns, sleepy moons. there are evil thunder cloud enemies, volcanoes. something new to discover in every level (there are only 21 and they're all pretty short). you can even interact with most of them. when i did a flip near the statue of liberty it lifted up her skirt, lol:  there's a mechanic where every level makes a beep sound to let you know the bomb is coming, at which point you have to fly to the bottom of the screen to collect it. while you're holding the bomb, you can't do flips, and you have to carry it to the enemy base (the enemies appear to be nazis) and drop it on them. i say have to, but you don't lose if you miss, just miss out on a ton of bonus points and a big medal.  you appear to be some kind of bird person, but you are also definitely in world war 2, fighting nazis, and definitely fly by the statue of liberty, whose skirt you can pull up. there are some ladies that you can do flips for and they throw hearts at you, and i figured they were bird people too, but i guess they are human. real max ernst thing going on here. in what was definitely missed by the people who put the nintendo seal of approval on this, when you beat the game it says "happy ending" and bounces the girls on a mattress, and one of them is nude. it is best not to ask questions about the story. i had nightmares about it last night from thinking about it.    overall, it was okay. it helps that it was short, so it couldn't wear out his welcome. i'm used to gradius-type shmups with power ups and i think i prefer those. next up: spelunker.

GG's really neat but I fall off of it every year because I bounce around between a dozen games at a time depending on my mood and it's hard to keep up with even for me. But I'll give it another shot this year: https://ggapp.io/SAFAO Looks like last year I fell off in late April or early May so I've got some catching up to do

I just use it to officially log the completed status of every game I beat, I don't bother with any of the other features like "currently playing" or "want to play". The site is pretty sleek but it's also ever so slightly jank compared to something like Letterboxd which it's clearly emulating.

Yeah I think this is what I'm going to start doing, with a "want to play" for my 2022 goal games. I was hoping that doing status updates, currently playing, etc would help me keep myself accountable to actually finish the games I start but instead I just kept jumping between 1 million games and abandoned my lists. symbolic posted:Bicyclops entering hour five of adding every NES game to "Want to Play": lmao
