Battle Narf Review Battle Narf is a difficult precision platformer with creative boss fights. It took me around 6h30m to clear. The world is divided into screens, with a checkpoint usually every four to six screens or so. Outside of screens with boss fights, each screen is "static" in the sense that while there might be moving obstacles and projectile attacks, there's no randomness or variance and the same strategy will work every time. The dynamic of Battle Narf is learning how to complete the early screens in a checkpoint as quickly and consistently as possible to get more attempts at the later screens. Often you'll find a clunky route through a screen at first, and then realize that you can optimize it. It's satisfying to develop and learn these new strategies, and it keeps it from becoming too draining to repeat the early screens. Every so often you'll encounter a boss. The bosses were the highlight of the game for me, but also where I got the most frustrated. They have funny and surprising attacks with unique concepts. They're also extremely strict and unforgiving, and it's hard to tell if the attacks are always fair and reactable. I don't mind when randomness in action boss fights leans on the unfair side, but I did get exasperated a few times, particularly when fighting the 3rd boss and the final one. Nonetheless, it was satisfying to get better at reading the complex attacks and take the bosses down. The final boss was really cool even if I got a little mad at it. The game also has a charming aesthetic, with crunchy hand-drawn tiles, cute sprites, and music that I didn't realize was from external sources until a song from Lagoon (SNES) came on. Give Battle Narf a try if you want to play a challenging game.
My review of Battle Narf (narfnra.itch.io/battle-narf)
narfnra.itch.io/battle-narf battle narf is out because i got tired of staring at it. you're welcome
I'm so hengry for food..
I've released games starting with all alphabet letters except Q, X and Z. I know my mission now
tell me about it sam
So to my office, and then home to supper and to bed.
it's cool to see people not knowing the mario 3 reference, i think i knew about the white block secret before i even played mario 3 as it was part of a gamer's education in those days, but times have changed and wizards no longer rule the lands....

i really liked the delay on releasing the charge shot, i don't know how much of that was just due to system limitations, but it feels like a mechanic you could play around with in a modern 30/60 fps action game. i was less fond of what felt like it eating my inputs when trying to do normal shots lol
i was recommended the pc98 version, but i'm curious about the msx2 version since it was the original release and has a fan translation
very cute, loved it. low framerate gaming, with unresponsive controls that are sometimes frustrating but in an interesting way that makes you rethink basic action game interactions. silly instant-death platforming, level design that asks you to choose between careful play or rushing and tanking hits
Latok and Fray standing under the stars
FIN
Fray is at some kind of party in a town
game clear i think! i'm at da festival too bad i can't read
the guy from xak is following me (maybe? i think this is a xak spinoff and i think this is that guy)
lmao there IS a random guy in the final dungeon who sells healing items
i almost wonder now if this is intentional and these are just funny prank spikes
WAIT IF TAKE AN EXTRA POINT OF DAMAGE GAME OVER DOESN'T TRIGGER FOR SOME REASON I'M A GENIUS
unfortunately game over still triggers when you're at max health, i can't seem to find a way to abuse this to get a free heal....
LOL when you hit zero health there's a delay before game over triggers, so if you stand in spikes and take damage repeatedly, the damage happens fast enough that your health wraps around to max before you die
a teleporter maze.... it's peak i'm afraid
SURFBOARD SECTION?
just running past all the enemies at this point and hoping this final (?) dungeon will have an area where i can buy bread for some reason
we love when standing behind the boss is a safespot
we are shmupping
