In its general structure, yeah, it’s close. It definitely scratches the same itch for me.
On a more basic gameplay level, it’s a bit peculiar because it’s almost not a platform game in the traditional sense. There is very little jumping and a lot of climbing, digging and throwing stuff. But it’s fun, and there are cool moves to pull off in this one too.
Apologies, forgot to mention it is on the Steam Deck through emulation. I’ll look into Astrobot (got a PS5). I have tried Splatoon 3 but was not sure what the goal of the game was.
don't really know if you're able to play online with emulation, but with splatoon I recommend just going with the single player story until you figure it out. I don't remember it having much of a learning curve to start it.
there's a bunch of platformers I think are better than odyssey but are 2d, Celeste, Donkey Kong tropical freeze, both of the ori games
While there are different game modes, the gist of the Splatoon games is to cover the arena with as much of your team’s ink as possible. Most of the mechanics involve spreading or interacting with your ink. Since you mentioned emulation, I guess you only have access to the single player campaign, so just follow what the NPCs tell you.
This game was my SHIT back in high school. One of our computer classes had the coolest teacher who would let all 12 of us play LAN multiplayer for the last half hour of class.
I remember figuring out how to mod Halo, and did some absolutely silly stuff with it, like making a sniper rifle that would immediately put a sticky grenade on wherever you clicked lol.
That was how my Highschool was growing up too (way after Halo’s hay day interestingly enough). I figured out how to get a copy of Custom Edition to run that had all the CE maps on it.
Passed that out in woodshop one day on a USB drive and everyone got a copy on their School Issued laptops. we had a huge ass LAN party going 5 days a week
Or just the screenshot button that’s on almost all keyboards… and cyberpunk has a built in photo mode, as most games do, which would have worked just as well.
facts also OP please get other indie game studio people to bring their communities in too. Growing Indie Game studios presence would help grow this place in near and long term for Lemmy/Piefed
It’s quite hard to do that as a lot of communities aren’t willing to put in the time of setting up a community on the fediverse. We tried to get a lot of indie game subreddits on board but so far it’s just silksong and balatro. Unless a bigger group of people on reddit ask for it then not much can happen
