Quoting: robvvWas playing GWYF this morning with my 14-yo daughter. She thought it was great fun!

To avoid seat-swapping, I used a small portable USB keyboard and my daughter sat in the hot seat. It worked very well and avoided too much frustration.

So this game has local multiplayer (couch gaming with kb or controller)? It is not listed as such in Steam user tags or dev-set categories nor on PCGamingWiki.

Yes. The mode is actually called 'Hot Seat'.

Need to clear my backlog of unplayed games but this is a guaranteed purchase :-)

I've been playing a lot of Jupiter Hell recently, though I am finding it very hard to get further than about the eighth map. Clearly I am making some poor strategic decisions!

Have almost finished The Vagrant via Proton. A really good 2D action-RPG romp with lovely artwork and tight controls.

I also have played a few levels of LEGO Batman: The Videogame with my daughter as she is really into her LEGO stuff. Works fine but is a little boring compared to the LEGO LoTR games.

Basingstoke is free on Itch, however :-)

Thanks for this as I was having trouble launching the game on my OpenSUSE Tumbleweed system!

Quoting: kokoko3kPlatformers... so hard to make (just) a Top 5...
I'm sure i'm missing something here; in no particular order:
Turrican (all of them - Amiga), Leander (Amiga),james pond - Robocod (Amiga), New Zeland story (Arcade) ,Toki (Arcade), and to stay "in topic", Gost'n Goblins (Arcade), Wonderboy (Arcade)

Or if you're proper old school... ;-)

Citadel, Quest, Plan B/Plan B II, Shark (forgotten classic!), Codename: Droid etc.

Quoting: robvvOoh! Looks like just my cup of tea, with the platforming and old-school feel :-)

Did you try "Alwa's Awakening"?

Wants to accomplish the very same, but does it way better imho.
(Judging from the video above, ofc.)

I have it in my library but have not properly played it yet. It got lost in my collection of 'to be played' :-) I must make some time to play it.
