YumeCore

Rolling a random game from my backlog and getting something from more than 5 years ago often really shows how I had different standards back then. At least, I can not imagine anything that would possess me to add YumeCore to my backlog today.
This is like the most indie Japanese game I can imagine. Graphics and animations straight out of MS Paint. Absolutely nonsensical storyline. And someone just wanted to make a beat 'em up game.

I don't really know what to say about this. The fighting mechanics are on par with some of the better Flash games I played 15 years ago. The graphics aren't. They're worse, somehow. But you get to beat up some trash enemies, and each stage ends with a boss fight, I think. I didn't really feel like playing past the first stage. Oh, and you can grab a different powerup for each stage, if you want. Maybe there's some message at the end, but I'm not expecting anything worthwhile.

In case this needs to be said, I don't recommend it. I'm surprised at the positive review score for a 3 hour game of this... quality.
