@toxicantidote: No, just Dan never actually thinking about how to get to the objective and then forgetting within 5 minutes where he had been or what he couldn't get past.

@danryckert Here's a tip on finding the slug gardener's tools. You know when you get to that one path where you kill all those slugs that led to that one 80 fruit bumper to the pink plant? There's a hut with a multi colored bumper to the left of that path, hit that to get the the gardener. Then there's a hole you can open using the buttons for a pinball section for you to collect the purple glowing items to open the door a few more pinball sections that will lead to the gardener's shed, where he has his slug tools.

This game is great y'all! Go play it.

At the same time, it showed that the game can still be enjoyed even if you don't follow one specific objective all the time. And also if you have a bad short-term memory, like Dan.

I think Yoku's Island Express has a great chance to win Dung Beetle of the Year.

If you want a longer look, and to see the game from the very start, and to witness the great late title card, then I recommend to also watch Patrick's video:

Yup, they seem to be great at picking interesting developers to publish for. Villa Gorilla sure made something special for their first game. I'm really looking forward to see what they can make next.

For some reason I expected Brad to host this one, with Jeff in the second seat.

Bought this after hearing about it on the Bombcast. It’s so much fun

Watching QL, I’m further along and haven’t gotten lost or stuck yet. The game tells you what to do.

I would have considered this, but I saw Ben's tweet about this game mentioning "steamed hams".

Ahhhhhh he walks past the slug gardener like 30 times in this quick look without talking to him! This was so hard to watch as someone who has played through the game.

So I actually just got this game because of this quick look and I can tell you its actually pretty fun! I am not that far in and Dan has missed some key parts that would have made is life a lot easier. Either way, its very unique and creative; its something different that is pleasantly surprising.

Until today I never thought Ori and the Blind Forest didn't have enough pinball.
