Monday Dec 20, 2021
Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels. We're getting one more 'core' episode in this year before the calendar rolls over into 2022, and Kevin is squeaking in his resolution game just in the nick of time, so let's get right into it...
John gets things started this week with the very recently released Babble Royale—a super fresh take on the genre where John can finally hold his own! From there, Kevin digs into Jump Jerboa, another brand new indie that just hit the mobile app stores! Randall has also been dipping his toes into the latest entry to the Cruis'n franchise on Nintendo Switch, and he's been having an absolute Blast!
After that, John spends some time in the realm of idle games, as he dives back into Clicker Heroes thanks to an ongoing conversation in the Discord, and follows that up with some thoughts on Universal Paperclips.
Finally, Kevin squeezes in his 2021 resolution under the gun, and finally fires up Hyper Light Drifter and, while you certainly don't need to hear it from us...this game is freaking awesome!!

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels, and welcome back to another edition of 'Save it for the 'cast!'
Before we get to the usual chit chat this week, Kevin kicks things off with a handful of multiplayer games that he's been digging into over the past couple of weeks—including an awesome couch co-op session with DJ, and finally popping the latest WarioWare into the Nintendo Switch!
After that, Kevin and Randall dip into some of our musical background(s), look ahead to some of the games from Nintendo we might get to see in 2022, the game Kevin worked on at the start of the pandemic, and much, much more...

116: Let‘s Be Thankful for the Scraps

Monday Dec 06, 2021
Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels. John and Kevin are back in the saddle this week and we've got plenty of gaming goodness to get to, so let's get right into it...
Kevin gets things started with a couple of incredible indie shmups, Spectrum Forces and Viral Reload, both of which he's had a really tough time putting down lately!
John springs for Nintendo's new 'Online Expansion Pass' and digs into the new Animal Crossing DLC, along with some of the new Nintendo 64 additions—we'll have to get Randall's thoughts on the Genesis selections soon!
Finally, Kevin wraps things up with a couple of puzzle-focused games that he's also been hooked on as of late, Nojong and Evertried—the former, a brick-dropping + Mahjong hybrid, and the latter, a strategy-heavy roguelike with some supremely well-balanced mechanics.
