Blips: Minesweeper Roguelikes, Soccer Coaching, and Ecological Disaster!

Here are a bunch of little vignettes, most of which involve hex-based spheres in some way!

I love your perspective on games, especially how you find titles I never would happen across on my own. Thank you.

Am very much considering flagging up Football Drama to an old friend who religiously played the old championship manager football games. Would be fascinating to hear what they think of it. Lovely selection of games as ever, and delightfully presented. Thank you for the wonderful video!

Holy shit it's another Blip episode already?
Holy shit this decade is ending!!

I need to lie down...

I love how in a couple of episodes you presented dozens of recent games I never heard off, and some of which I really want to play and others are fun to look at or think of

[corvidcall]

i LOVE blips. you always find games i would never have found and i love to hear your perspectives on them

[LucidTech]

Just wanted to say that I"m really enjoying this blips series. I just caught up on it and I really love a kinda of light lunch in between your more in depth reviews. I think it's really neat.

Wonderful video! Thanks for showcasing some smaller indie games!

[glilimith]

love these videos, but as someone who's played a lot of minesweeper, it is endlessly frustrating watching your gameplay footage, lol

[aylin]

yay love this series, glad you found the time :)

[PaxPirate]

Perfect timing, I JUST finished Eliza - and it was so damn good. It really resonated with me very deeply. Thank you so much for the recommendation!

[GoodJamSpiteHouse]

I will maintain that the best take on the minesweeper formula I've played is Hexcells

[SnowTerebi]

Came in give a thumbs up, gonna watch after work.

[baronohm]

I love these videos! I'm consistently surprised by the games you've found.

I just wanted to say "Thank you" for this video, not just because this series continues to introduce me to interesting games worth checking out, but because it led me to a Christmas present I plan to give to my brother! :)

This video reminded me of an old flash game I used to play a lot called PitSweeper. It's another Minesweeper roguelike, but it actually plays like a proper roguelike, except you can reveal any tile on the current floor and the game tells you how many points of interest are around each tile, just like Minesweeper. What's cool about it is that it playing it as a standard roguelike or a standard Minesweeper game are both viable options, since you get bonus XP each floor based on how many treasures you uncovered and how many monsters you left undiscovered.

I love this series so much, and all of these games seemed right up my alley this time. Thanks!

[kuroboshi]

Thanks for the video!
Another Minesweeper related game I've enjoyed is Mamono Sweeper, which (after the opening) is generally solvable without guessing and comes in various difficulties.

A rogue-like minesweeper sounds so weird but when you explained how they work it makes a lot of sense, it just was a really unexpected mix that never crossed my mind.
I actually kinda love those obvious but slightly off-brand types of references. I was reading some of the text on screen and the chaos emeralds one is such a nice on point meta joke, they're usually required but for what exactly is never quite clear untill it happens.

[IXPrometheusXI]

Yeah, I still really appreciate you pointing out these smaller titles I otherwise might never have heard of. Thanks!

[whinegummi]

I am not big in terms of complementing. Let me just sat i am freaking binge watching. Thank for your work.
