What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Doodle World (Evercade)

February 28th, 2026

My post tonight is late because I'm right on top of things and started watching Cherynobyl. I'm not very good at watching TV.

I played several games yesterday, but only for ten or so minutes each. During my lunch break at work, I was in a shmup mood. I went and hid away from my desk, playing a couple of stages in Darius Burst: Chronicle Saviors. It was too fun, so I turned it off, worried I'd run out my 30 minutes.

Counter-intuitively, I played a credit in DoDonPachi Daifukkatsu from there, and was lucky to play badly enough to get back to my desk in time. It seems really cool, but tough, from the few minutes I played!

Much later, I finished cataloging my Evercade/Super Pocket games on a Backloggery page, and having only cleared one out of the 77 I have between my cartridges, I decided it was time to tackle that mess. I started with my Super Indie Heroes cartridge, as at least some of the 14 games on it seemed pretty breezy. I went through about ten minutes of Quest Arrest, a swearing-filled cop RPG built like a Pokemon game, but decided 1 in the morning wasn't the right time to be dealing with all of that.

I also played some of Doodle World, a super cute 8-bit platformer, but it was too late for even something so cheerful and breezy. I will come back to this another day.
