It was 8 years ago and the Indie game scene was not so saturated with games in this style and genre.
- cyode 3y agoEven so, that was the era of Cuphead, the first Overcooked, and other local multiplayer games that had undeniable character about them. Even compared to marquee 2010 _flash games_, this game comes off as lackluster. (Props to them for their effort and this writeup, of course.)
- a13o 3y agoJuicy Beast was considered a top tier studio in the Flash ecosystem with many hits in that space, and Toto Temple was well-known and much anticipated at the time by the scene. Unfortunately the scene was dying; and the gameplay aesthetics that made for a successful Flash game did not translate well to the PC and console markets. Cuphead and Overcooked wouldn't come until a couple years later, on the next generation of hardware. It's easy to blend these timelines together in 2023, but at the time these things were worlds apart and not influential over each other at all.
- badsectoracula 3y agoIt was even more saturated 8 years ago, especially if you take Flash gaming into account that was still fresh in people's minds.
