Waves is gone

By Iain 4 September 2018Internet, Site RelatedNo Comments

My old blog, Waves, which used to be at the old domain of randomfury.co.uk, is no more. All the posts have been folded into this blog. It was a lovely place, if a bit quiet. I feel like I've written this a lot recently, but it was always more for me to cathartically write than for people to read. I'd…

Take A Walk

By Iain 3 October 2014VideogamesNo Comments

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. Hello once again. It's time for another random game, and this week it is Take A Walk. Take A Walk kind of combines the time-rewind mechanic of Braid with an auto-runner, but reduces both factors down so it becomes more of an experience than a traditional "game". Sure, there…

Pretentious Game 3

By Iain 26 September 2014VideogamesNo Comments

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. I told you there was more to this series. Pretentious Game 3 is the next game, and it does things a little differently. It does away with most of the extra abilities that were introduced in the second game and focuses on narrative this time around. There are still…

Pretentious Game 2

By Iain 19 September 2014VideogamesNo Comments

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. Hello once again! Continuing on from last week's Pretentious Game, I bring you Pretentious Game 2 this week. As a videogame, it is a sequel in the truest sense. It adds in new skills as standard, such as gliding and the ability to absorb a hit before having to…

Squares 2

By Iain 5 September 2014VideogamesNo Comments

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. An old RF favourite today, it's Squares 2! This is a reaction-based, arcade style survival game in which you control a black square and you have to avoid red squares. Survive for as long as you can, or go for the high score by absorbing other black squares. Collect…

I saw her across the World

By Iain 29 August 2014VideogamesNo Comments

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. Hello there! I hope you're having a nice day. I am - I've just been playing this cool game. It's called I saw her across the World and it's about a red "i" that wants to spend some time with and get to know a pink "i". You do…

Glitch Lab

By Iain 22 August 2014VideogamesNo Comments

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. This week on RGF, I'm playing a little game that goes by the name Glitch Lab, and it is, as the title suggests, a lab where you study glitches. Each level has the same basic components: a playable character that can move and jump, an entrance, an exit, that…

Luminant Fantasia

By Iain 15 August 2014VideogamesNo Comments

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. Well, this is a first. This week it's not really a game but a playable prototype on RGF - today I'm playing the battle system for Luminant Fantasia, an as yet unfinished and unreleased game. As with other variations of the active battle system, it's all about bars. Bars…

The Dreamerz

By Iain 8 August 2014VideogamesNo Comments

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. Hello there! It's Friday, and that means it is Random Game Friday! This week, I've been playing The Dreamerz - a point-and-click exploration and puzzle game set on a series of weird planetoids. I've never really got on with this genre, but I have a ton of respect and…

Mushbits

By Iain 1 August 2014VideogamesNo Comments

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. This week on RGF, I'm playing a lovely little game called Mushbits. Visually it reminds me of a pink and blue game that I used to have on the Amiga - I cannot recall what it is called though. Which kind of defeats the purpose of me adding this…
