I've been playing Vampire Survivors lately, it's a very cool little game! It reminds me of One Finger Death Punch in a lot of ways. It's basically a top-down shooter like Binding of Isaac, except all the shooting is automatic, your controls are limited to movement (and selecting power ups when you level). It's a very simple game that's just primal, uncomplicated fun for the entire time you're playing. I have 5 hours in it so far, and I have no idea if I'm gonna go 5 more, but I already feel like I've easily gotten my $3 worth.

I also endorse this game, especially for $3.

I've survived past 25 minutes a couple times now but after that shit gets real.

Yeah I'm trying to do a no-upgrade run of the Forest right now (I hate metaprogression). It feels possible! But very hard! Haven't succeeded yet, but it's fun trying.

Looks like the game sends invincible enemies to kill you at 30 minutes. As in life, you cannot truly win.

I think all roguelikes have this concept

Even Everspace eventually sends a godlike fleet of alien ships into the sector to annihilate you, forcing you to move on
It's your turn in Cthulhu Wars
It's your turn in Squirrel Wars
It's your turn in Demon Wars
It's your turn in Wall Street Wars

Lasting 30 minutes counts as winning the stage (you even get a "Stage Complete" when you get killscreened, instead of the usual "Game Over").

I can't actually think of a roguelike I've played where it's impossible to win, but this seemed like the kind of thing where it was just going to keep getting harder indefinitely.

Another thing I haven't figured out, does the screen wrap eventually? Or is it infinite. I feel like I moved a long ass way to the left in library and never got back to the floor chicken I left.

Okay I got to 28 minutes by basically cocooning myself in body blocks from monsters frozen in time. I guess I was supposed to level a real weapon instead though, huh.

it is kind of absurd that anyone can buy what is probably one of the top 5 biggest companies by gaming revenue, which I think is the largest entertainment industry in the world?
