"hey you know that tactile Z button mod we got for our gamecube controller? the one that gives it a nice satisfying click instead of being weirdly squishy? i wonder if anyone does that for GBA shoulder buttons" uuuugh i don't know if this is me or amy who came up with this idea but it sure would be sweet and i bet it'd be expensive

let's not look into this unless and until we start playing a game that uses the shoulder buttons extensively

right now the only games we even have on our flash cart are Emerald Rogue and Apotris

apotris is so cool. gotta love a guideline game imo

i personally can't really get into games that you just play until you die, never been a big fan of them. i want to overcome a challenge, not fight back an inevitable failure for as long as i care to. not that that's bad, just not for me

this may sound like it conflicts with my previously-expressed love of tetris but: i play a lot of versus tetris, where your goal is to specifically fight back another player and win

so apotris is pretty much exclusively going to be a practice tool as opposed to a game lmao. maybe i'll find myself grinding DT cannons on the bus or something. or MAYBE i'll get back into 40L sprint. no promises

i don't remember what my best 40L sprint time was but i do remember that it was set in fucking Puyo Puyo Tetris lmao

like even if i never improved as a player after that, you'd expect me to have beaten that time by playing worse on an engine with less line clear delay

my handling settings, btw

feels very similar to my handling settings on tetr.io. i wish i could set DAS a little faster, like just a couple of frames, but it's totally fine, whatever

weird that it's not a frame input at all though, you just get these vague options

i do not know what Initial System means

@monorail o shit I gotta put this on my flashcart

@noiob it's real good. just no-nonsense guideline BLOCK STACKING PUZZLE GAME https://akouzoukos.itch.io/apotris

@monorail holy shit you weren't kidding, it rules. The music! the screen shake when you bump the side of the playing field!

@noiob yeah!!

@noiob it's the handheld BLOCK STACKING PUZZLE GAME we deserve tbh

@noiob it has a sprite editor for some reason

@monorail WHAT
