02.22.23 No Filter HD #14: #Gunslugs & #Residual by #OrangePixel, on the #AtariVCS (Available Now!) (YouTube)
Did u Miss it? On this 4K episode of #NoFilter HD, I play #Gunslugs (2013) and #Residual (2021) by #OrangePixel, on my #AtariVCS. These are the latest two releases out by OP on the VCS and they're pretty great. In the style of previous offerings, "Gunslugs" has you and your team of action heroes battling and shooting your way through the Black Duck Army. In "Residual," you crash your spaceship on a series of random procedurally generated planets. Will you be able to survive using the natural elements of that planet? This is a 45-minute gameplay-only video featuring both games. What do you think? #SupportIndieDevs
