To kick it off, what’s everyone’s favourite short non-Metroid, non-Castlevania Metroidvania. Is there anything perfectly suited to blasting through in a cozy afternoon or weekend?

The Robot Wants it All collection is a series of pretty good flash games from like 2006-2008 that have been bundled up with a few new levels. the different games are all just the right length and complexity for low effort gaming days

just finished 100%ing lone fungus. the exploration was fun, especially given how early you can reach most areas with the first few upgrades and spells. the combat was alright, many bosses had annoying untelegraphed movement that's almost impossible to dodge if you're actually trying to hurt the boss, but the attack patterns themselves are intuitive and fun to learn.

i've got beef with the precision platforming, though. I did all the portal challenges, and it was difficult but not particularly satisfying. biggest issue is the game just has way too many buttons- there's three different jump boost buttons, as well as two different kinds of sword attack that have different properties. later portals can require all four shoulder buttons on my gamepad as well as the attack button, and the difficulty ends up being more in remembering which buttons interact correctly with which mechanics than it was anything related to execution, and that didn't sit well with me.
