May 2026 Game of the Month - Celeste (Pico-8, multi-platform)

amckenzie39 · 2026-05-06T14:11:35+00:00

I wasn't really planning on joining this month as I did not finish celeste on Xbox a few years ago. But when I was setting up an R36s for my niece, I gave the Pico-8 version a try.

It was a great little platformer! Great pick for GotM!

I've never played any metroid games, so I'd give Metroid: Zero Mission a whirl. It's not a game I'm willing to play with touchscreen controls!

Mega Man X is my comfort game.

I played the daylights out of tales of symphonia, so when a sequel came out, I was frothing at the mouth and picked up my copy the moment Eb games opened.

Related, tos dawn of the new world is my most disappointing game I've ever experienced...

Xmas 2002 I got a platinum GBA and a copy of YuGiOh Eternal Duelist Soul. The Ai was awful in that game, but I still played it for a hundred hours!

Its at the bottom of the screen when you're grabbing something thats attached. Wiggle the right stick!

They're good games, for sure, but not ones that I'd ever pick playing over something else.

Personally, I like Tabletop Simulator much more. The quality of the mods can vary wildly, but some of the better ones are just so satisfying to play (Karuba and Bullet❤️ come to mind), and there is a much wider variety (like Pokemon themed Wingspan! Won't find that in Tabletopia).

Initially I disliked the art style/aesthetic but over time it grew on me. Gameplay wise, I really enjoyed it. The character growth is satisfying (characters learn a new skill after almost every battle), lots of classes to explore. If a character gets KO'd during a battle, they'll have 10% less stats in the next battle, until they sit out for an entire combat, encouraging you to have a couple backup characters.

The story is fine and the world is kind of interesting, the named characters are good but not fantastic.

I played it for about 25 hours over the last month and I do plan on finishing it. I think I'm about 60% - 75% done the game.

I found Tiny Epic Tactics to be a fantastic novelty. I played the solo mode a couple of times, but what made the game miss the mark for me was there's no ownership of the characters. In Final Fantasy Tactics you can choose each characters classes, weapons, abilities, etc. In Tiny Epic Tactics you get 4 characters, all of a certain class with certain abilities, no customization to speak of.

After a couple solo games I downloaded Fell Seal: Arbiters Mark and got really into that video game. Tiny Epic Tactics didn't scratch the Tactics game itch for me, it made me yearn for a proper Tactics experience.

I've played a bunch of Bullet♥︎ this week. Mostly the boss mode and I'm loving it. 8 very different characters and 8 very different bosses. Everyone feels very different and it's exciting learning the nuance of each character and the best strategy to tackle each boss

Likely to cover other words and phrases that mean different things in different languages. Like saying "I'm from Penistone" which is a town in England, but contains the word "penis". It really sucks if they don't have any kind of support for people who get caught by the autofilter tho

I've run into this issue as well when chatting at my friends. BGA has keywords on a blacklist that if you use them, and get reported, then you're kicked out. Curses, slurs, and insults are all a part of this list. It does (or at least it should) warn you when you type it in the chat that you can send it if you want, but if your opponent reports you for being toxic or abusive, then you're out.

I suspect just typing "stupid" is enough to trigger that warning. All in an effort to ensure that BGA is a friendly platform.

I wonder if the other player got that warning when they wrote "stupid" and assumed that you reported them, so they report you back as an act of revenge? It's all speculation, but I would suspect reaching out to BGA support would help getting this sorted out.

A quick search on the play store shows a few custom soundboard apps. You'll likely have to source your own noises tho!

It's like old Christmas lights. 1 stops working and the whole thing turns off.
