What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Skateboard Drifting With Maxwell Cat: The Game Simulator (Switch)

January 23rd, 2025

I wish I knew why I was so blah feeling lately, but I've at least been able to keep some measure of interest in games.

I tried Marchen Adventure Cotton 100% last night and really enjoyed it. It's been on my Switch for a while, thanks to having picked it up in a sale, but I'd previously been kind of intimidated by trying to play it. I wasn't doing great, but definitely feel like I'll be able to with practice, and the 16-bit graphics are so lovely! I'm looking forward to giving this another go tonight.

I played another round of Skateboard Drifting With Maxwell Cat while exercise biking, too, and was pretty bored by it.

Winter is bringin' me down this year, and I am suffering a severe lack of energy and enthusiasm.

Last night, I ended up trying cat games from my backlog. My first one was Skateboard Drifting With Maxwell Cat: The Game Simulator, a meme-y game about steering a skateboard towards arrows. I was so tired yesterday that I couldn't play this and pedal my exercise bike at the same time, so I don't feel like I can really judge it from last night's session. It wanted me to be connected to the internet as I loaded levels, though, so I think it was an online game no one else plays. It was a strange experience.

I tried Fit My Cat, too, which was a laid back puzzle game where you fit cats into boxes. It's not complicated, but it's cute. The difficulty scaled well as I played, too.

I want to get back to my shmup quest tonight, but I also want to sleep for 15 hours, so I will see what wins out.
