Gunman Taco Truck is a new shoot em up/food serving game that's been doing the gaming podcast rounds mainly because it is developed by John Romero and his family.

Also out is Beat Racer, a hybrid endless racer and rhythm game. I played a bit and it seems pretty neat.

Is Beat Racer legit? The play store description and reviews are a little sketchy. Is this one of those apps that's going to send all my info to China?

Use doors to get surprise attacks, they are 100% hit chance.

Hold the wait button to rest, which fast forwards time and heals you. Find a nice secluded spot and rest if you need to early game.

When trying new potions, try to do it standing in water near a door, so you can put yourself out or escape the room in case of fire or gas.

Use chokepoints. Less things hitting you at once, the better.

If there are certain rooms on the floor, there will always be a potion to "solve" the room somewhere on the floor. This can include hidden rooms. This can help you figure out unidentified potions.

Room blocked by wood = potion of fire
Trap rooms (room filled with traps with a chest at the end) = levitation potion
Water room with piranhas = invisible potion

This does not bode well for my anime tolerance.

Boy I suck at this

Fight enemies by backing away into a doorway. Make it so only one at a time can get you. Also if you back out of a door (so the door closes) and wait, when the enemy peeks out you get a guaranteed critical hit. Start with warrior only at first until you get the hang of it.

There will always be just enough enemies on floor 1 to get to level 2. There are no hidden doors.

Starting on floor 2 there will be hidden doors. These can be super obvious - like a randomly ended hallway. Search and youll reveal it.

Special rooms always have the "antidote" potion somewhere on the floor.
-Room blocked by wood is solved by a potion of fire. If you aren't sure and don't want to waste a good potion, stand next to the wood and drink the potion. If you catch on fire it will get the wood too and you can run to water to put yourself out.
-Room with piranhas is solved by an invis potion. Don't fight the fish. They will murder you.
-Room with a treasure chest floating at the end is a potion of levitation

Room that requires a key but you just cannot find a key anywhere? Most likely the floor above had a room with an opening in it with a "dry well" or something. You can jump down and loot the body below which also has the key to get out of the room!

Crystal chests - you can search the chest to see what's in each before you decide which to open (you only get one key so you have to choose). Either a ring, artifact, or wand.

Potions of strength are super important as are scrolls of upgrade. Scrolls of upgrade reduce the strength requirement of armor/weapon and increase damage/blocking. Pots of strength give you more strength so you can wear armor/weapons etc. Don't put on armor or weapons if you don't have the strength. If you have the strength but it's not identified, gently caress it - put it on. If it's cursed, you can try to upgrade it or can use a scroll of remove curse. Sometimes items are cursed but upgraded. Once the curse is removed the item retains it's good quality.

Be careful with tombstones. The ghosts they spawn can only be hit by wands or by doing the trick where you hit them by going out a door. The items dropped from tombstones are usually cursed but upgraded so worth trying to ID and remove curse.

That was alot of rambling. Game is alot of fun once you learn some of the mechanics. You die alot floors 1-5 - your chances increase significantly once you get to 6. Hope that helps.

Oh, I know. It's one of my all time favourites, and I remember renting it for a full week just so I could beat it back in the day.

I was so incredibly thrilled when it was originally re-released on the Wii VC, and love that it still gets support. If I'm going to actually buy any of the SEGA Forever games on the Play store, Beyond Oasis is my number one pick.

If that touchscreen emulation option from 8bitdo works, then I'll actually buy the game.

Now where's the love for Soleil/Crusader of Centy? It's like that game never existed. :negative:

Taking me back! I first found Beyond Oasis through Sega Channel. Did you have that? The original streaming service!!

Reminds me of New Star Soccer which was a fun game ruined by how aggressive they amped up the IAP. The game basically became impossible to do well in without continuous spending.

Only bug I've encountered so far is when a boss does a technique that is supposed to flash the screen or cover it in flames or something - it doesn't animate and instead whites out the screen, but it comes back once the "effect" is gone. A bit annoying but doesn't really impact gameplay.

I kind of wish it synced with my PC save but oh well - StS on mobile!

I think it's through google play - when you do the sign in thing. It's a little wonky if youre actively switching between devices - but a one time switch it should work good. Had some issues between it and my chromebook when i tried to swap mid session but generally worked well.

Slice and dice is amazing. Taking over my time spent on slay the spire.

Is there a way to send feedback? Two things I've noticed:
1. I usually tap and hold for more info. BUT that doesn't work when selecting a reward. It just gives you what you tapped with no undo available. Burned me a couple times now

2. I bumped up the UI zoom and sometime the dice is covered by the mana count. Can usually get an edge to select the dice but wanted to flag.

Loving the game though. I got an hour less sleep than I should have last night because I couldn't put it down.

Almost, the reward screen doesn't tell you what any of the keywords mean if you do not have them all memorized.

It's also a force of habit. I find myself automatically clicking and holding. Would just be nice to have the undo button. Also an ability to view my character skills before choosing an item would be nice.

E: but seriously I'm sitting here playing it right now. I really enjoy it.
