Friendly reminder, no streams tonight or next week. If you still want your weekly #PlatforMonth themed dose of me, check out my playthrough of the fever dream that is the Genesis version of Toy Story from a few months ago.

Hey fam! One more full week of #MechaGameMarch! Next month's theme will be the spring tradition of platformers aka #PlatforMonth! 2D, 3D, collect-a-thons, Metroidvanias, and those games that make you wanna bend the rules by having platforming elements.
How about you? What have you got planned?

I'm still tripping through Psychonauts 2 here at the end of #PlatforMonth, but I've got a bingo card's worth of other genre hits I've been churning through:

So tonight I played *both* the SNES and Sega Genesis Aladdin games for #PlatforMonth. Haven't played either before (outside of the Sega one, briefly, when a friend rented it as a kid) so I figured I could be objective about which one's better!
The result? It's complicated. Thread.
First up, Mega Man 3. Afterwards, some late-game Blade Chimera. Join us for platforming action! #PlatforMonth twitch.tv/capsulejay
Judgment is upon is! But who is the big bad in all this? Here's the final part of my #PlatforMonth playthrough of Fallen Leaf!

A screenshot from Chip & Dale's Rescue Ranger's on the Nintendo Entertainment System. A mouse in a mechanic's jumpsuit is examining a small metal device with a radar dish, rendered in pixel art. Text below reads "GADGET: Hi guys. Don't worry -- I'm OK so far. I rigged up this wireless phone"
A screenshot of Pullfrog for the PICO-8. A frog stands among a vertical field of Tetris-like falling blocks, all rendered in bright pixel art.
A screenshot from the demo for Ruffy and the Riverside. The titular Ruffy is shown in a simple 3D world with paintings on easels on either side and standing directly next to a doppelganger of himself rendered in softened pixel art.
The neat thing about #PlatforMonth focusing on such a foundational genre is that it's easy to pick up something light, new, and delightful at the drop of a hat.
( b/w Rescue Rangers on NES, @afk-mario.bsky.social's PullFrog on Pico-8, and @zockrateslabs.bsky.social's Ruffy and the Riverside Demo )
Well if anyone is still looking for ways to participate in #PlatforMonth, look no further.
Blade Chimera screenshot. A female solider says to the hero, "Bah! Sounds like a patriarchal garbage to me!"
Tonight, we smashed demons... and also the patriarchy?! A big thanks to everyone who joined us and to @thedeviot.bsky.social & @mnemonicman.bsky.social for the raids! #PlatforMonth #IndieGame #BladeChimera
Who's up for some late-night demon slaying? Join me for more of this gorgeous new Metroidvania, Blade Chimera! #PlatforMonth #IndieGame twitch.tv/capsulejay

I've been revisiting it off and on for about a year, but it's finally time to wake up from this strange dream. GG Klonoa 2! #PlatforMonth #Gaming

Water levels, city levels, and anime conventions? What kind of platformer is this? Here's part 2 of my #PlatforMonth playthrough of Fallen Leaf!

Ninja Five-O GBA game screenshot. A snake-like flaming dragon flies towards the airline pilot as the ninja draws his sword.
I played a little Ninja Five-O offline after my stream earlier this week. In the next mission, you have to stop a fire dragon from hijacking a commercial airliner; definitely a problem that only a ninja can solve! #RetroGaming #PlatforMonth
Pixel art platformer screenshot. An old man NPC says "I enjoy a good automatic firearm, myself."
Pixel art platformer screenshot. The hero looks at a dragon and says "It looks like a really big lizard."
Tonight, we took down a "big lizard" with a stream of hot lead! A big thanks to everyone who joined us and to @jewelryjelly81.bsky.social and @orangeright.bsky.social for the raids! #PlatforMonth #Metroidvania #BladeChimera
Record of Lodoss War was awesome! Now join us for Blade Chimera, the latest #Metroidvania from that same studio! #PlatforMonth #IndieGame twitch.tv/capsulejay
