130: I’ve Got it Baked in My Brain

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  First things first, you'll probably notice right away that we had a little hiccup with John's audio this week, as his computer decided to record the built-in microphone instead of his Yeti — but we're rolling with the punches, because we've got all sorts of video game goodies to discuss this week...

Randall kicks us off with his early impressions of Mario Strikers: Battle League, as we find out how well this new entry in the series stacks up to the original?!  

From there, Kevin fires off a couple of arcade-y indie games from a couple of his favorite indie developers, PUNKCAKE Délicieux & Kultisti — Ecstatic and Curseball, respectively!

After that, we kick it back over to John, who has been thoroughly enjoying his time with Moonglow Bay, which has provided some much-needed 'low-pressure' gaming to go alongside all of that Elden Ring & Triangle Strategy that he's been playing lately.

Finally, Kevin wraps things up with a puzzle-filled 'metroidvania' of sorts, Elephantasy,  which has completely captured his attention — even after having to start the game over from scratch, thanks to a misclick...
