As promised, this week is about a game that focuses on mechanics rather than message: Bamboo Heart, a side-scrolling sword-fighting game by Tijmen Tio and the Sokpop Collective. Blake and Jordan swap sword-fighting strategies, talk about what it means to say a game “feels good,” and Jordan is appalled to hear that Blake ran to the left in a sidescroller.

Be sure to check out the game on itchio: https://sokpop.itch.io/bamboo-ep
