What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Adventure for a Bit (PC)

July 5th, 2022

Yesterday afternoon, I decided to sit down and finish Adventure for a Bit, which you can download from itch.io if you're curious. Here is the link! I had stalled a bit on finishing this, since I thought it would be a super long play session, but it turned out I only had around 15 minutes of the game left. There's nothing wrong with that, I just felt slightly like a dingbat.

At any rate, Adventure for a Bit was quick to play, had cute and charming characters, and had some really pretty and relaxing worlds to wander around in. It ended up being a really good random pick from my itch.io bundles.

I got back to messing around with post-game missions in Sonic Forces, which was pleasantly low stress. Most of my time was spent trying to keep deaths to a minimum in the third EX stage, and I did, to my credit, eventually get an S rank. It took a lot of horrific deaths by laser and falling from great heights to earn that, but it happens. I also unlocked this glorious Chao backpack, in shining pink. I ordered bootleg Crocs with a Chao like this on them, so I was quite pleased.

Last but not least, I hit my stride in Ensemble Stars and am ready to play until my eyes bleed tonight. I'm still working on the Start-Dash missions, but maybe tonight I can get them cleared!

Like I said I was going to, I went in yesterday afternoon and beat the final boss for the Tails route in Sonic Adventure. After struggling with it playing late, it took a grand total of 6 minutes to take care of when I was wide awake. I was very surprised how short the side story was, though! This game might not be as long as I though it was going to be.

When it got late, I dug through some of my itch.io bundles and pulled out a game called Adventure for a Bit that you can download here. It seems like a very nice and charming game so far, where you help an AI get confidence while it makes you pretty and pastel procedurally generated landscapes. I've had some trouble getting stuck in pits and corners in the worlds the game makes you, but the little scenes between each world are so cute! It's very relaxing, too. I don't know how much is left, but I'm looking forward to finishing it.

After that, I went back to Sonic Adventure for a few minutes, but Twinkle Park sucks and I went to bed.
