What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Squad Angels: Bullet Survivor (Android)

February 13th, 2025

I'm letting the weather and work get the best of me, so I'm a bit stuck in a rut right now. I just played the same two mobile games again last night. In Squad Angels: Bullet Survivor, I cleared one stage while I was half asleep. It was fine.

I spent a lot more time on Jujutsu Kaisen: Phantom Parade, draining an event of its useful rewards and getting one of the limited characters from the gacha. It was pretty satisfying.

I'm working from home today due to the snow, even though Wednesday is usually an office day, so I am able to throw together a quick lunch break post! I only played mobile games yesterday, which I'm fine with. The difficulty curve, or total lack of it so far, is bothering me a bit in Squad Angels: Bullet Survivors. It doesn't have that same "breaking through a barrier" feeling even the worst Survivors-like I've played has, but I'm still pretty early on. I won't drop it from my free game rotation quite yet.

I hit a pleasantly overcome-able wall in Jujutsu Kaisen: Phantom Parade, so I did some level grinding to see if I could get a 3-star rating in an object collection level I got slightly stuck on. In the end, I was able to do it, but I'm pretty okay with the fact that it took me a little bit to pull it off. Clearing a tough level gives me unfounded confidence. From there, I pressed on with the other stacks of content this game is throwing at me.

There's a winter storm rolling in overnight, and that, combined with general tiredness, has me feeling super overwhelmed for no real reason. Because of that, I'm a spot late to post tonight, but still have an hour to get this done.

I started a couple of new games last night. Before exercising yesterday, I really wanted to play Vampire Survivors, but right now, I'm not buying any games. I went kind of crazy shopping while I was sick and loopy, so I want to clear at least a few before I pick up any new games. Nothing is stopping me from downloading any mobile games, though, so I found an acceptable looking survivors-like called Squad Angels: Bullet Survivor. I don't love some of the character art, but it's exactly good enough to give me something to think about while I'm pedaling away on an exercise bike.

I also tried a Switch hidden object game I had stashed called I Love Finding Cats. That title is true- I do love finding cats, and it is a cut above the little Steam freebies I've been playing. The levels alternate between standard hidden objects, jigsaw puzzles, and spot the difference screens. The cursor controls a little too fast, maybe, but that's fine. This is very decent so far.

Lastly, I kept up my quest to clear all the content available in Jujutsu Kaisen: Phantom Parade. I didn't really meet any resistance at any point yesterday, so I plodded merrily along in the events and story mode, along with some of the challenge type stuff.
