sooo, i gone to steam to check out what they have for the next fest and i found alien hominid invasion on steam for a demo and as usual i downloaded it, and was sorta disappointed, especially since i played the fuck out of the xbox 360 version.
Pros
it has leaderboards and online which is nice
support for modern controllers
has a tutorial for confused players
made in a modern engine
support steam deck (i think)
nice looking cutscenes
Cons
the controls are stiff compared to the snappy controls xbox 360 version
the game looks like a cheap cartoony indie game rather than pure alien hominid
the game is tedious with the paper collection mechanic
focuses on collecting and shooting rather than challenge, and i love challenging levels (even if i suck at it most of the time)
Narwhals, Narwhals, Swimming in the ocean, causing a commotion, coz they are so awesome. Narwhals, Narwhals, Swimming in the ocean, Pretty big and pretty white, they beat a polar bear in a fight. Like an underwater unicorn, they got a kick-ass facial horn, they're the Jedi of the sea, They stop Ctuhlu from eatin' ye! Narwhals. They are Narwhals, Narwhals. Just don't let 'em touch your balls, Narwhals. They are Narwhals, Narwhals. Inventors of the Shish Kebab!

i do not harrass on Mike Salcedo @Delfrig or anyone that likes Alphabet Lore. this is my personal opinion and complaining about nearly EVERYTHING in the universe is dumb. I'm not randomly hating on Alphabet Lore, i'm reviewing the thing in a critical perspective. [[MAY CONTAIN SWEARING/SPOILERS]]. (spoilers are in underline)
Alphabet Lore Lore
before we have to talk about the finale, we have to talk about the series itself. originally Alphabet Lore started as the Gameplay/Lore meme where it portrays the gameplay and lore of certain media, with it using the song wokeuplikethis by Gotye either playing normally or sped up. and Salcedo originally intended Alphabet Lore to be a joke but later on grew actual lore and tbh, it sucked. and despite this, the whole series had this certain charm to it with the animations, music and characteristics. anthropomorphising the Alphabet was something that nobody did before and Salcedo took that as an opportunity, then the whole series was put together as one video on YouTube titled: Alphabet Lore (A-Z).
and ye wanna know why? YOUTUBE RECOMMENDATIONS. and thus many fans wanted MORE of Alphabet Lore so Salcedo gave them THIS GARBAGE: The Finale. and we will be looking at that in the next chapter
The God-awful Finale
About the finale (SPOILERS WARNING)
After N, U, A,Y, M, G and Q took a glimpse of F's dark past, Z Reverses the timeline and Q decided to let N swallow the Question Charm (i'm pretty sure that's what it's called) we go back to the timeline where F was betrayed, and after L, M and O protected N. N feels as and looked at his flashbacks with L, O and F, he looked down at the future letters and L and O decided to push those letters and exclamation marks dropped like tears and then F and N go up to the mountain and guess what? Z turned into a fucking baby while still retaining the deep voice. WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING AROUND HERE?
i tried to upload Donksona 4 onto Newgrounds but sadly it had a potential copyright infridgement since Newgrounds is a website dedicated to Original Content and i sadly cannot upload it.
it probably was the music playing in the background.
This post is mostly my opinion and/or point of view about this game. I respect others points of view on this game, and read this post before attacking me on my own opinion in the comments. (please note it will be updated after i get footage done and release a youtube video about this)
1: The game itself
So I'm not that much of a rhythm game guy myself, because i'm very bad at the genre and I tend to enjoy other genres like First-person shooters, platformers, retro games and adventure games. And this game has been popping up on the internet lately. so i went to give it a try, gone to the game's itch.io page, and played the game (it's the native desktop version by the way because the web version is poorly optimized), i decided to go to the tutorial (on easy difficulty) and play this game to see what's the fuss about and i finished it, afterwards i gone to Week 1 and played through it and didn't peform well
