- A Short Hike
- Donut County
- johncozen 6y agoI just watched the Short Hike dev’s postmortem video. Super informative and really illustrates how he embraced his constraints.

- Torkel 6y agoDonut county... so mixed feelings about that one. I really enjoyed it, up until the final fight against the big flying robot cat thingie. I felt super betrayed about a game without stress suddenly flipping on all its principles. Suddenly it was a stressful action game. Super hard. Tried a dozen times. Failed. Became angry with it, put it down, never started it again, and now when you mention it my feelings about that game are like 30% niceness of the initial part and 70% bitterness about the crap ending. Or was it even the ending? I will not know. To game makers out there: know your category, and don't break it. There was an old space quest game that was like this too. Final mecha fight that turned a thinking game into an action game and with it turned friends of the game into enemies.
