What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Roller Katz BF Episode 1 (Switch)

April 2nd, 2024

Today is my birthday, so I am posting as I drink my free Starbucks and worry about a surprise apartment inspection tomorrow. The inside of my head is not as fun as I try to make it look here!

Yesterday was fun, though. My family bought me a sushi dinner, and I went to see Late Night With the Devil, which was a fun high concept horror movie. It had some great 70s style "technical difficulties" TV station screens.

I felt like I needed to get a lot done, though, so I did a couple of Sanrio off-brand Legos in the midst of all that. The top one, a Hello Kitty pool set, was actually a lot more detailed than I expected, and had a couple fiddly bits I had trouble snapping together. It came out well, though, I think. The second one, My Melody, was pretty straightforward, but cute. The colors in these photos are a little yellowish, since it's been gloomy out and I used artificial light to get them, but the pink blocks in the My Melody set were the perfect shade.

Game-wise, I played Princess Peach: Showtime! the most, clearing out the Swordfighter levels and going back for 100% of the collectibles in the first of them. I was a little disappointed to have such a fun ability set off the board so quickly, but the designers had to use something to illustrate the setup.

I also tried Roller Katz BF Episode 1, an indie platformer I'd picked up on sale in the Switch eShop. I'm not sure about the character designs, and I did a bit of clipping through stuff in my few minutes playing, but making my character flip around against the bright blue, filled with fluffy clouds sky was a defininte pleasure. It's interesting to see what individuals are making with the tools to make 3D platformers at their disposal.
