such lovely tags

[Nothing]

Really cute and absolutely lovely stuff, I love all the silly joke unlocks. I wonder how a full metroidvania that limits movement like this would work.. or maybe even hide movement options and such through actual unlock conditions, like defeating certain amounts of enemies or something like that. Fantastic stuff!

[Mario-Combat]

This game is awesome! It's really cool to see a Mario game like this, it's like a playable version of all those old sprite animations you'd use to see super often. It was super fun then and it's still super fun now.
I am a bit bugged by this one pit you can't really see coming later in the game, but whatever. Your Super Mario! You gotta go kick bowsers ass!

[Abobo's Big Adventure]

I didn't really exist throughout the NES era (or even when this project started development), so I don't really understand all of the references to more obscure stuff that pretty much only the die-hard NES fans would remember.
I also don't particularly care, because you Good Fellows managed to make a damn good game as a love letter to the series. It's fun to play, and it keeps itself fresh during its short span of time with every level playing quite differently outside of the one rule of kill everything you see as you reach the end.
It's quite dope, I remembered loving it years ago when I first played it and it still holds up well today. I should really try to get all of the achievements one of these days, you guys packed the game with so much to do that I'm pretty sure I only scrapped the bottom of the barrel here in terms of all the stuff there is to see. Whatever it is you guys are doing now, I'm looking forward to it! This shit makes me wish I was as talented and dedicated as you folks, but that's not gonna happen for now at least.

SEE YOU NEXT GAME!

[Rock Smasher]

This is quite nice, I like the use of Bonk Sound Effect #2. The models look quite pretty and the scary little man hidden deep within changing colors with each successful rock smush is a nice touch! This music is also quite neat, this KawaiSprite fellow sure does know how to make a good tune. You fellas did real fr*cking neat.

[Ritz]

This game is real chill and real fun, I like it a lot! The dialogue in particular makes me squee but this whole package was quite a neat chill time. The throbulating spikes feels a bit weird, but it makes the game distinct if anything. The environments don't really help that much, with how blue everything is and not much else... It also does that janky thing with moving platforms where you land on it over and over if it's ascending... But don't get me wrong, this game is still pretty fun! I like Ritz, he looks pretty funky. I should draw fanart of him and his fat biblical cousin sometime.

[Gun Orphan]

This game is super cool! The look of all the guys and the oprhan and the secret base and the guns and everything is awesome, the gameplay is super fun and addicting (even if i suck at it lmao); I honestly hope this game gets a speedrunning community or something. The boss fight at the end with Dark Orphan had me hooked (although i kinda hoped dark orphan looked not the way they do now to say the least)
Just kinda wished there was a way to make the flashing lights less flashy; it hurts the eyes a little bit and somebody's gonna talk about getting seizures from this at some point maybe.
Still, this was super rad! I wanna draw fanart of the orphan now.

Finally, the good ending :)

wait what'd she say at the end
