NINTENDO SUE THIS MAN

>>725551873 (OP)
This actually looks good. What is this?

>>725552176
It's Donkey Kong Country - PC edition. It's great.

>turtle can keep up with the duck's speed

Erm, that's not realism accurate... This is not an accurate portrayal of turtles, and therefore, should be taken down.

It's weird how the Turtle and Duck don't have a hat or something.

I boughted. I'll play it later tonight when I'm finished with work and post some stuff about it.

guys i'm getting filtered...

I'll give this one a go, good to see a straightforward platformer that isn't a timewasting metroidvania or roguelite

>>725556072
Some of the optional stuff is genuinely hard and worth saving for later. If you can't figure out what to do a later stage will probably teach you.

>>725556981
Turns out that turtle has a hitbox that can collect items when being recalled.

>>725551873 (OP)
Wow
Amazing I will buy this game on steam

>>725551873 (OP)
Yo dawg, I know this is on sale but my principles tell me to never pay more then 15 bucks for a sprite game and I'm sticking to that. Better luck next time, blame the economy.

>>725557148
Huh I never would have thought of that

>>725552865
These levels are unfortunately not fun in multiplayer, long parts are too dependent on one character so unless you're a god at shell jumps you're not doing those parts as the duck

>>725558640
Like you said it's probably taught to you later on, I had to look up a playthrough to see what the hell to do

>>725558995
They really played it fast and lose with the collectables and stuff. I remember looking up footage when the demo released and people had no idea how to even get through basic stuff like the extra stages. It's a pretty brave move, I wonder how it will play out in the complete game.

>>725559875
As a huge DKCfag the game flows incredibly well so far. I haven't really gotten stuck on anything besides that Thornado special stage and that's just cause I didn't know about the recall hitbox. But that does get me excited for how the unique mechanics will play.

Time to game.

Looks like movement autism is possible.

shill thread buy an ad and stop copying 40 year old games

How were you supposed to know? This game is great.

>>725563729
Feels good to have new things to enjoy. Today's a good day. Gunna cry about it?

This game really does feel super sick to play. I was not expecting this.

Not too big on the controls but it's kind of fun. Demo was at least worth a shot

>>725553317
The duck puts on a backwards baseball hat and does a victory dance sometimes.

>>725552865
Good character overusd game formula sadly

>>725567325
What plays like this? Not even the new donkey kong games play like this

I refuse to play sprite games that use sprites as an excuse to have bad graphics. That is not what retro games looked like.

>>725556072
How? It's so zoomed out you can unnecessarily see everything

>>725568315
Uh the spritework in this game is unreasonably high quality for its budget.

>>725568991
The spritework is very competent but the art direction feels lacking. Maybe there should be more big googly eyes on everything.

>>725569465
Have you tried actually playing it? Everything is very animated. It's just less hip and edgy than dkc for lack of a better word, it feels very wide eyed and innocent versus dkc having Diddy busting out a boom box and breakdancing to hiphop.

>>725569806
Yeah I played most of the first world. Don't get me wrong the game feels amazing mechanically and i'm itching to play more. It's just that the character designs and general aesthetic sense are just incredibly fisher-price. I'm not saying it needs to swing to the other extreme of absurd 90's attitude or anything, but I don't really place any value on being "wholesome" if it means being ultra generic. Kirby is wholesome and cute but has a ton of personality.
>it feels very wide eyed and innocent versus dkc having Diddy busting out a boom box and breakdancing to hiphop
Funny you say that considering the turtle literally throws on shades and breakdances to hiphop for his victory animation. It's a nice touch of actual personality but it's also just copying DKC2 almost 1:1. The duck throwing on a hat for its victory dance also seems to reference that one Subaru animation of her dancing with a duck, which is pretty cute. But yeah, I just wish the art direction had more going for it besides technical competency.

>Kirby is wholesome and cute but has a ton of personality
NTA but I do not care for kirby. I hate that lil nigga to death

Then i'm afraid you and I cannot be friends...

No one is making indie kirby because kirby SUCKS

>>725571015
>No one is making indie kirby
I'm still mad the Kirby influence was dropped in later games.

>>725571015
Nobody's making indie Kirby because Kirby is still alive and well, so there's just not much of a niche to fill.

>>725572175
How long ago was the last 2d kirby game

>>725572564
2018, HAL's probably cooking something up now depending on how much of the staff is working on Air Riders.

>>725572982
>2018
Gosh you better hope they can make something better than star allies if we're even counting that as a game lol

The music in this game is actually pretty good.

Looks great. Will get it after I'm done with my current backlog. I try to beat 4 games for every new one I buy.

>indie pixelshit inspired by le classics
get new material,. indiefags

>>725576128
Pixel is not a bad thing. Not everybody has the budget for 3D animations

>>725576128
>inspired by le classics
As apposed to what? Inspired by the shitslop you like? No thanks!

>>725576128
Why is it indies that get the flack on v for being derivative when every triple a game is the same safe, homogenous slop? At least indies copy a wide variety of genres

>>725556072
Just duck, idiot

Does this game have 40 stages or is there more counting the bonus stuff?
