What's your excuse for not having played the greatest indie game of 2016?

It's $9 on Steam right now

3hours 30minutes to beat, after the weapon upgrade the final boss was pretty much the easiest boss in the game, after the hunter duo. Charming game otherwise.
>>
The first three were super mediocre is why.
>>
only having 6.49 in my steam wallet
>>
Because I won't play yet another indie hack n slash if there's isn't a very valid reason.
And that kind of artstyle turns me off, I don't know what the name for that kind of coloration, but so many indie games do it with pixel art and I hate it.

What was the deal with pic related?

Also could you rescue the two guys captured in the water-area?
>>
It was fucking great and I loved it. I wish it was longer, but it's still a huge step up from the previous games.

I'm not a fan of the art style and it feels to me like the pixellation is a lazy way of putting less effort into making the game look good and crisp, something the team are clearly capable of.
>>
Because the first 3 was as boring as shit shill

or just get la mulana instead you dorks
way better value for money

It's a Dan Kim reference.
>>
>>329935997
I don't get it, you made a list of whats mostly a common, solid, albeit a bit uninspired game design for most Indie creators. They're good starting points for new developers.
>>
>>329936076
That's the complete an utter opposite. Good pixel art with good animations can take months worth of time of effort compared to using 3D models. There is a reason why tools that can convert 3D models to pixel art exist.

I will post this in every thread that claims a GOTY and remind them they are wrong.
>>
The sound design was so awful it made me feel like the creator has no talent or direction and just threw shit in because he thought it'd be fun when it really wasn't.
>>
>>329936217
>or just get la mulana instead you dorks
The games really aren't similar aside from being platformers.

La Mulana is all about exporation and puzzle solving, but Momo4 is more like a GBA Castlevania, but with dodge rolling and estus flasks.
>>
I'm not usually one to accuse of marketing, but come on dude. Your game is doing well, give it a rest.
>>
>>329936323
Exactly, it's the least imaginative thing an indie dev can do.
>>
>>329935480
Oh I remember this game
The Anon who came up with this concept finally finished it huh.

Good for him.

>>329936445
You're doing God's work, anon.

I consider all bad games unfinished desu, most bad games suffer from a lack of polish and that shit takes up the majority of development time, soooo it's unfinished.

?????
>>
>>329936564
fair enough, but if you like value for money and platformers la mulana is always a good one if you haven't played it
>>
My excuse is that I only have $2.99 in my Steam account.
>>
>>329936445
release when
>>
>>329936913
december
>>
Can't even remap controller buttons, I'm refunding this one.
>>
Played it for an hour and refunded. Seemed pretty mediocre
>>
Is there no torrent yet?
>>
>>329935480
There's a dialogue option with a choice in fireland or whatever, does it actually change anything?
>>
>>329937168
Nope.

>torrenting a $9 game that is so short you can beat it and refund it afterwards

How poor are you?
>>
>generic metroidvania pixel game #540306
>greatest indie game of 2016
>>
>>329936728
That's literally where the japs got the style from.
>>
Literally a Metroidvania but weaboo.
>>
So can I play as a monster girl in this or do I just get to kill them?
>>
>>329935480
Dark souls mario
>>
The pixel art's style looks similar to Cave Story. Is this the same guy or is it just copycats ripping him off?
>>
>>329937295
>How poor are you?
Very.
>>
>>329937573
Literally the only thing similar to dark souls is healing and saving
>>
I'll pirate it first and get back to you on that
>>
There are some secrets that don't seem to be able to be found by jumping in/ slashing at it. How do you get them?
>>
>>329937168
>>329937616
There is. Fuck that guy.

Dark Souls didn't exactly invent save points, so honestly it's just healing.

Nonstop shilling drove me away.

Not going to create a new thread for this but I purchased Rabi-Ribi since /v/ kept mentioning how good it was but I couldn't stand the super weaboo setting with all the characters talking in third person like retards, too much god damn dialogue that goes nowhere.

I had to refund it, I'm sorry, I'm sure there's a good game behind this but I can't stand it.
>>
>>329938847
and a whole lot of other games.
