Tres-Bashers

this feels like a GOTY made after some world melting apocalyptic event presented by a radioactively balding geoff keighly on a pile of detritus. it looks small and simple in every way, built to run on the sparest of computing hardware pulled from a microwave, but the dev bled and sweat over every detail to make the most of what they didn't have. by default all the action lives in a cozy square display ratio. there's a tight flashlight and bat attack combo that forces some clever management to wield. every enemy feels like a mini boss with a unique look, mechanic to solve, and won't go down in one hit. and there's so much context and sense of place in the level design. lockers can be smacked for coins, vending machines will drop snacks for health which persist, and each room has a name reflecting its theme and what can be found inside it. you get the sense they were trying their hardest not to copypaste vibes through its entire design trajectory. one of the best games i've ever played and doesn't feel like it's made by someone on the epstein list - idk but iykyk

in a world where the interconnected nature of metroidvanias feels like a lost art, tres-bashers surprises the player with its exploration freedom and simple-but-satisfying action the way a certain achievement pushes you towards obtaining upgrades and beating bosses in a specific order is a thing of beauty

*chuckles* its a good game, sir classic-feeling game with tight controls (once you get used to them) with a wide variety of monsters, weapons, and upgrades to find. the areas are distinct and the music is also banging also, its genuinely a fun game to speedrun with interesting routes and is super easy to learn!

This was a wonderful metroidvania with great movement! The game feel is strong on this one, and it felt the right length as well. I even went so far to 100 % it. Great work on the game!

A small but challenging vania about a monster basher that must rescue his friends. You must hit the monsters with light to make them vulnerable and you need to beat them to open gates than need a certain number of monster souls. There are plenty of secrets and a few hidden shops, it's very fun romp.

Very fun, creative, and charming
