What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Roller Katz BF Episode 1 (Switch)

November 9th, 2025

I kept up with my quest to clean up some of my Switch games I'd started yesterday, starting by finishing off Purrfect Rescue. I didn't really love this, since the cats were too scribbly to easily identify as cats. I did like the idea of having one special cat per stage, having you find the items to catch them across different stages, but it needed something slighly more. This wasn't unplayable, but it wasn't my favorite cat finding experience.

I also went back to Roller Katz BF: Episode 1, which is the first few levels of one person's vision for a Dreamcast, or, more specifically, Sonic Adventure style platformer. It's very janky and difficult to control, and the story is never going to be finished, which is disappointing! I had a lot of fun with this regardless, though, and think it's cool that someone went for it and just put this out there. Plus, I got hit by a train a bunch of times and then shot a robot pirahna. I had fun!

Originally, I wanted to clear three games yesterday, but I wasn't feeling great last night and gave up. From there, I played a few rounds of Vampire Survivors and went to sleep.

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.
