#Vainger
After a 1-3 start to the season, I was admittedly kinda down and ready to throw in the towel on this season, and call it a season where I played well but was just overmatched in A Tier.

After 3 straight wins, I'm now in playoffs with a week to spare :3 really cool to see this pay off!!

I won my first bingo game in a while with a bingo on board that I honestly wasn't super comfortable with!

I felt like my goal selection this game was pretty on point this game and I threatened a lot before finally committing to a line :3

The partial archipelago is fine - has Barbuta, Porgy, Vainger, Night Manor, Party House (sort of), Divers (new!), and Golfaria (soon), alongside basic progress checks for all other games. It's all actively being worked on and tuned with feedback from community members.

Littéralement un bainger !!!!! J'ai adoré, c'est tellement cool tellement bien, le gameplay, les zones, les trucs à collecter !!!!! Je pense c'est un de mes préférés, je suis trop trop content de celui-ci. Un bon petit metroidvania qui régale comme il faut !!!!

It’s taking me a while to get a feel for Vainger… to be reductive it’s “VVVVVV with guns” and the world is full of instant-kill traps

We're on early this week! Catch us tomorrow night for Divers, Rail Heist, Vainger, and more UFO 50!

Habt ihr schonmal von einem Spiel names Metroid gehört? Nein? Dann müsst ihr in dem merkwürdigen Universum von UFO 50 leben. Aber zum Glück habt ihr Vainger.

I feel like the magic of it is that everyone I've spoken to has picked a completely unique set of five favorite games from the collection. Personally I liked Max and Mini, Warp Tank, Kick Club, Moon Cat, and Vainger

Mortol. Porgy. Vainger. Grimstone....

Maybe I'm better served showing you the games I cherried/golded

Top 25 games in UFO 50, until I play more and feel completely differently.

Btw just so we know what to expect: Other M was a 79 on MC, Hunters a 84. And of course Dread with 88, so that's putting the bar for "decent" at around 95 or something like that for this series.

It's wild that Vainger, 1/50 of UFO50, is infinitely more memorable (idk if I like it!) than Dread.

Vainger (after this one) is also absurdly cool
Great transition into VVVVVV because of the gravity flipping gimmick, but the thing that really sticks with me is that it’s a Metroidvania where each upgrade has multiple uses depending on which part of the body it’s equipped to, that’s a great idea

Only just scratching the surface of this, but I can tell this is a big highlight; awesome Metroidvania where the gravity flip platforming is almost secondary to how cool the upgrade structure is - the fire chip can be a plasma beam or varia suit depending on where you put it! That rules!

Made me think of Vainger from Ufo 50

(23/?) Vainger is the second gravity flipping game in UFO 50, and is a more standard metroidvania. It has the interesting idea of giving powerups multiple uses, but its shortness means none of the powers or their multiple combinations gets developed. It is the most familiar platformer of the bunch.

It's fascinating to see which games in UFO 50 grip different people. (🏆: Barbuta, Magic Garden, Mooncat, Rail Heist, Vainger; 🍒: Camouflage)
