Can You Beat HAIKU THE ROBOT Without The Healing Wrench?

Robots named after poem structures, the end of the human race, and internalized firebombs. What's not to love?
Oh right, not being able to heal. Yeah, I don't love that.

Haiku is a wonderful little platformer that came out back in 2022. I meant to play it closer to its release, but...you know...

But now that we've got (a little) free time, it's time to finally finish the game and its DLCs, all while getting one of the harder achievements : beating the game without using the healing wrench.

Lemon might be working through his backlog but adding more games to mine. The irony

"To those in the distant future, should you find my grave, I ask this: Is Silksong out yet?" by Dylan McNeil on the gravestone. Best quote.

I'd like to see a corrupt Playthrough

One hell of an review. Gives enough to pique interest, leaves enough to motivate us to get the game, and demonstrates a glimpse of the skill ceiling possible
Edit: I know this isn't an advert, but considering this review made me buy the game I say it works as an ad.
...I'll just say review.

I like how the game sells you the healing wrench later on in the game in case you missed it earlier.

It's hard to miss and 99% of players probably grabbed it when it first appeared, but it's a nice touch

I was like "why do these characters seem so familiar" and then he walked up to Rusty from Rusty's retirement and it all clicked xd

[siliciaveerah]

i love that the creator of this game put in so many references... both easy and hard to spot.... easy one being the double jump room looks a LOT like metroids powerup rooms

“Haiku, if you haven’t guessed, is a robot” that made me laugh so much more than it should’ve

[MattJDylan]

FINALLY!!!
I've been saying for years that one of the absolute rules that we need to introduce in games is "if the enemy spawns a minion, their hp MUST be linked"... finally one dev having the right ideas!!!

Hey lemon. JK Leeds uploaded his bloodborne canon video, and he found a move in Martyr Logarius' second phase where his projectile shield isn't active. Meaning you could try the Molotov only and see if you could beat him now.
Just in case you weren't suffering enough.

17:44 In D&D, mimics can assume any shape roughly the same volume as itself ... including doors, tables, bookshelves, and many other fun objects dungeon masters can think up.

YouTube boil, YouTube bubble. A backlogs video to sooth my trouble

[wastelandr]

This is lovely pixel art. It's too often used as a shortcut or poorly thought out style choice. This may have been done to save resources but there's clear effort, no cut corners, and TONS of detail.

[Robokitty]

I watched it last night, I will say it is a very cute game and I look forward to more runs from it!
Thank you Lemon!

[frozi]

This is just like gorbino's Quest. This is the Gorbino's Quest of The Backlogs.

I played Haiku last year while working on my backlog and it really took me by surprise. It's a great MetroidVania with a surprisingly good story that just oozes charm. Awesome to see it getting more love!

[Hastalapizza]

In all honesty, I wasn't expecting this game but I enjoy that you like the game, and how cutesy this fairly violent metroidvania looks

[lightning]

this game is so beautiful and charming with its style and amazing bits and nods to other games, even if its not that obvious there is a lot of references in this game hidden behind its art style, i loved this game so much and I'm happy you did too lemon, praise the cogs.

ps- shoutout to my boi Dylan McNeil even in death his still rolling in his grave from excitement waiting for silk song F for respect.

[JustPixelNoIDontWantAnyNumbers]

I never expected a Haiku video, the game kept my Hollow Knight addiction going, I 100% the game on my second playthrough and it was so good

[Blandy]

I just finished the beast claw video when i saw this. Always happy to see another video
