    234: Suddenly, I'm Carrying That Pizza

    Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  It's just Kevin & John in the house again this week, but we've got all sorts of gaming goodies to dig into, so let's get right into the action!  (Randall will be back in action with us for the next proper episode of the PP Podcast.) John kicks things off by spotlighting some of his recent 1-bit pixel art adventures on the Steam Deck — leading things off with some love for the Zelda-inspired Master Key, followed up by a quick shoutout to Minit Fun Racer (and the original game that it's based on). After that, Kevin revisits Untitled Goose Game from House House, after being inspired to fire it back up again by the hype surrounding their recently released, online-multiplayer-only adventure, Big Walk. Finally, we close things out with yet another "gush fest" (patent pending) for one of our all-time favorite indie developers, Ojiro Fumoto (aka "Moppin"), as John bounces back & forth between both Downwell and Poinpy.   Timestamps: John's Recent 1-Bit Adventures  -  00:01:26 ↳  Master Key  -  00:01:50 ↳  Minit Fun Racer (and the original Minit)  -  00:07:37 Untitled Goose Game  -  00:13:32 Mobile Masterpieces from "Moppin"  -  00:25:46 ↳  ​Downwell & Poinpy   Thanks for taking the time to listen!  If you'd like to find us elsewhere on the Internet, you can find us at:  🌐 Links to everything:  https://pursuingpixels.carrd.co/ 👾 Join us on Discord:  https://discord.gg/VJMpaRQmvt 🙏 Support us on Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/pursuingpixels

    Save it for the 'cast! — Issue #133

    Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels, and welcome back to another edition of 'Save it for the 'cast!' As always, Kevin gets things started off with a quick rundown of some of the games that he's been digging into recently on his Nintendo Switch 2 — including a couple of games that are more than just a little bit grindy (for better or worse), along with a couple of indie gems that he recently recorded gameplay videos for. We're throwing it back to a recording session from early April after that (since we'll be missing Randall on back-to-back "proper" episodes of the PP Podcast), as he & Kevin dig into a bunch of various gaming goodies of all shapes & sizes — including non-distinct spines on physical game cases, controllers & arcade sticks, Atari games (both retro & modern), and much more...   Timestamps: Everybody's Golf: Hot Shots  -  00:03:03 Disney Speedstorm  -  00:06:47 Boomerang X  -  00:10:03 Aegis Defenders  -  00:14:45   Thanks for taking the time to listen!  If you'd like to find us elsewhere on the Internet, you can find us at:  🌐 Links to everything:  https://pursuingpixels.carrd.co/ 👾 Join us on Discord:  https://discord.gg/VJMpaRQmvt 🙏 Support us on Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/pursuingpixels

    233: A Person Wearing A Bear Mask

    Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We're shorthanded this week while Randall has some family in town, but John & Kevin still have plenty of gaming goodie to dig into, so let's get right into it... We get things started off with a bit of a gush fest for a couple of our favorite indie developers, after John recently spent some time with the games from both Sokpop Collective & PUNKCAKE Délicieux!?! Kevin takes the reigns after that, and shines a spotlight on Everybody's Golf: Hot Shots, albeit a somewhat dim one, as we dig into the many pros & cons of the newest game in the series. Finally, John closes us out with a few indie games that he's been spending some time with recently — including an all-time mobile gaming classic from Vlambeer, along with a duo of bullet heaven inspired roguelikes from Heather Flowers.   Timestamps: Sokpop Collective + PUNKCAKE Délicieux  -  00:01:42 Everybody's Golf: Hot Shots  -  00:12:32 John's Indie Score Chasing Adventures  -  00:25:24 ↳  Ridiculous Fishing | Snake Farm | Fish Fear Me   Thanks for taking the time to listen!  If you'd like to find us elsewhere on the Internet, you can find us at:  🌐 Links to everything:  https://pursuingpixels.carrd.co/ 👾 Join us on Discord:  https://discord.gg/VJMpaRQmvt 🙏 Support us on Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/pursuingpixels

    Save it for the 'cast! — Issue #132

    Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels, and welcome back to another edition of 'Save it for the 'cast!' As always, Kevin gets the ball rolling with a handful of the games that he's been digging into lately — this week, primarily focusing on yet another fresh batch of indie demos that he's been checking out recently.

    232: Checking Between The Couch Cushions

    Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  Everyone's here once again this week, and per usual, we've got all sorts of gaming goodies to discuss, so let's get right into the action! John kicks things off with a couple of games that he's been bouncing back & forth between over the recent weeks — primarily focusing on the recently released Truck-kun is Supporting Me from Another World?!, with small dose of Saints Row IV on the side, to round things out. After that, Randall takes us into the retro realm, as he's been spending some quality time with Master Higgins in Adventure Island II on the original Game Boy. Finally, Kevin closes things out with a little more retro goodness, after recently snagging a copy of Sega Bass Fishing on the Nintendo Wii, and getting "hooked" on the classic arcade action.   Timestamps: Truck-kun is Supporting Me from Another World?!  -  00:01:29 Saints Row IV  -  00:12:58 Adventure Island II (Game Boy)  -  00:15:44 Sega Bass Fishing (Wii)  -  00:30:19   Thanks for taking the time to listen!  If you'd like to find us elsewhere on the Internet, you can find us at:    🌐 Links to everything:  https://pursuingpixels.carrd.co/ 👾 Join us on Discord:  https://discord.gg/VJMpaRQmvt 🙏 Support us on Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/pursuingpixels

    Save it for the 'cast! — Issue #131

    Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels, and welcome back to another edition of 'Save it for the 'cast!' Per usual, Kevin gets the ball rolling with a couple of the games that he's been digging into lately — this week, leaning into a couple of quick first impressions for both Everybody's Golf: Hot Shots & Yoshi And The Mysterious Book. John & Randall jump into the conversation after that, and this week we're all over the map, with a bit of a focus on movies & TV shows this week (though we still get into some video game action, as well) — including the pros & cons of digital vs. physical media collections, finnicky triggers on PS4/PS5 controllers, Nintendo Switch GameShare, and much more...   Timestamps: Everybody's Golf: Hot Shots  -  00:03:10 Yoshi And The Mysterious Book  -  00:07:08   Thanks for taking the time to listen!  If you'd like to find us elsewhere on the Internet, you can find us at:  🌐 Links to everything:  https://pursuingpixels.carrd.co/ 👾 Join us on Discord:  https://discord.gg/VJMpaRQmvt 🙏 Support us on Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/pursuingpixels

    231: Trying To Avoid The Vortex

    Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We're back to full strength again these week, and we've got a trio of games to dig into this time around, so let's get right into the action! Randall & Kevin get the ball rolling with each of their first impressions on the recently released Star Fox on Nintendo Switch 2 — a completely overhauled remake/reimagining of the Nintendo 64 classic. After that, Kevin & John dig into their thoughts on Cast n Chill — an indie fishing game that has a boatload a potential, but left both of us wanting just a little bit more from the overall experience. Finally, John & Kevin slather some praise onto Celeste 64: Fragments of the Mountain — a bite-sized 3D collectathon platformer, released to celebrate the original game's sixth anniversary!   Timestamps: Star Fox (Nintendo Switch 2)  -  00:01:36 Cast n Chill  -  00:21:55 Celeste 64: Fragments of the Mountain  -  00:30:58   Thanks for taking the time to listen!  If you'd like to find us elsewhere on the Internet, you can find us at:    🌐 Links to everything:  https://pursuingpixels.carrd.co/ 👾 Join us on Discord:  https://discord.gg/VJMpaRQmvt 🙏 Support us on Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/pursuingpixels

    Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels, and welcome back to another edition of 'Save it for the 'cast!' As always, Kevin gets things started off with a quick recap on some of the games that he's been digging into recently — primarily giving a shoutout to a few (more) demos that caught his attention over the last couple of weeks. John & Randall jump into the conversation after that, as we dive into some more video gaming goodies — including licensed games in the retro era, games that our friends & cousins owned growing up (that we didn't have), early handheld janky, and much more...   Timestamps: HYPERWIRED  -  00:01:50 Bobls  -  00:05:18 Turnip Mountain  -  00:08:13 TMNT: Return to New York (NES Balance Patch)  -  00:11:56   Thanks for taking the time to listen!  If you'd like to find us elsewhere on the Internet, you can find us at:    🌐 Links to everything:  https://pursuingpixels.carrd.co/ 👾 Join us on Discord:  https://discord.gg/VJMpaRQmvt 🙏 Support us on Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/pursuingpixels
