Every time I see or hear "Lonestar", I immediately hear Lord Helmet saying it in my head. Then I chuckle to myself thinking about Spaceballs quotes for the next several minutes. I'm cool with it.

[@htspencer9084]

May the Schwartz be with you! 💍

[@FreybeardPC]

Ummm... I'll just say you're not the only one.....

[@endeyfire]

im surrounded by assholes!

[@dukeofprunes9195]

I can't believe it. I'm surrounded by A**holes!

[@centerfield6339]

Moichendising!

[@One_Eyed_Man_]

"Only one man would dare give me the raspberry!"

[@AHKonoValles]

"Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well"

[@poilboiler]

I see your schwartz is as big as mine.

[@TsunamiWombat]

Ah, I see your Schwartz is as big as mine.

[@kareningram6093]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought of that movie when I saw the title, lmao

[@planexshifter]

Instantly I heard We ain’t found shit

[@Mogarl]

I've started watching a few different videos of people trying to show off this game, and they always lose me in the first minute. You do a great job of showing off the games that you cover.

[@QuotidianStupidity]

Exactly the same, tried about three others but knew Splat wouldn’t let me down

[@andrewjacobs5686]

I love the Cowboy Bebop inspired soundtrack.

[@neilarcher2551]

Spokey Dokey by the Seatbelts. Big fan of the series and movie myself.😊

[@Divert486]

I love the disclaimer at the start, its honestly most games, but this isn't why we're watching you, don't worry about it.

[@seangallagher9435]

The Quadrant ability at 19:41 sounds extremely useful. You start turn 1 with 2 more dice, and if you don’t use them you keep them next turn so there’s no downside. You could use it to get way more damage off

[@lardus8614]

I had it as random treasure at the start of the game on my pilot. It was really hard balancing the dice usage 😅

[@christopherg2347]

I would probably call it a "Dice Builder". There have been a few of them in recent memory. Usually they are rolled in with Roguelites and Deckbuilders, but I am beginning to think they might be their own genre. This one closest resembles Dicey Dungeons. Your 9 hull slots and weight limit are your equipment inventory. 8:02 I think it is called a "Beam Struggle". Because they are struggling against each other. With energy beams. But here it is called "Stream Struggle". 18:15 Okay, Deidara.

[@MrF00tie]

I love this game! By the way, Power and Strength are two different mechanics. Power gives Strength (equal to the amount of Power) to gun(s) affected at the start of a turn and it stays till the end of the fight. It also requires you to load an energy to get the effect - there are ways to circumvent that though(and always having Power as Strength active). Strength only stays for the current turn. The self destruction unit would have done nothing for you, since you had no Power in your setup. As example, in one of my latest runs I doubled one gun up to have over 50 Power with said device. Both Strength and Power can be scaled on their own, but they also can work very well in tandem.

[@plick645]

Whoever made this game is in love with cowboy bebop.

[@ShoshinManga]

All I really noticed as DONGDONG 😹

[@NILBOG13]

That's Repair Master DongDong to you mister.

[@Starrik1996]

Great rec - I saw this in the store, and passed over it, but your review sold me on it pretty dang quick

[@DenisRozenk]

This game is insane - 3 weeks to clear lvl 8 difficulty with all pilots, 30-90 min per run. Build variativity is insane. Shielder and Swapper ships have different unit roster, and different feeling. Pilots with their custom perks - VERY often that can do crazy combo. Bosses and enemies variety - every one has unique twist with unique arsenal, i was shoked by insane dev fantasy. Game already has big amount of content. TOTALLY WORTH IT!

[@acewolfgang276]

1:17 no wonder why your recommendations slap so hard. I have ADD too

[@Hatfr0g]

As always, this is a terrific video! I also have ADHD and struggle with games like this, but you did a great job showcasing how it can still be fun, and this looks like an awesome game. Probably another instant splattercat to purchase pipeline for me!

[@ThonanTheFirst]

his looks, sounds and feels like cowboy bebop, so of course i like it and wanna play it

[@michaelmacdonell4834]

Today in the world of Indie, we are going to be fooling around....... Oh, my! I had no idea you felt that way about us!

[@VideoGameQuizChannel]

Looks great ! Something to scratch that FTL itch

[@Jasta85]

I jumped into this game when it launched and love it, the only thing I really want now is more varied ship layouts, for example wide ships or long ships or other shapes, similar to the enemies you go up against. Would help vary up the different builds you put together.

[@TheArbieo]

There is a pilot whose ability is to give you a 4x3 mega ship and it's amazing. I had a build where I could beat the final boss without manually loading energy.

[@Auxius.]

The only one man to give me the raspberry.. LONESTARR

[@miticivisivi]

Calls a ship "Octopus", makes it look like a Crab.

[@glennjanot8128]

Lonestar? I gotta watch Spaceballs again ^^

[@WakkaWakka25]

I'm just saying there better be a Schwartz modular in this game...

[@CaravelClerihew]

Been playing this on the Steam Deck (which works great, btw). Yeah, it could use more ships but it has a ton of pilot unlocks, who then have subtraits that are randomised and also unlockable. So a good amount of content to for an EA game. Text can be a bit small on the SD though.

[@pacer2310]

I guess this will have to do since for whatever reason there's still no FTL 2.

[@ArthurIdrisov]

FTL is perfection. You can't beat it with a sequel.

[@HankHill11]

Tough to beat FTL. Some games coming out that are trying to be inspired by it, and expand on its concept, but FTL was perfection tbh.

[@CaravelClerihew]

Note that there isn't really much in common with FTL apart from the ship on ship combat. All weapon types are effectively the same (no flak or missiles) and there isn't the hectic room to room management

[@Anion1987]

Did you try FTL "Multiverse"? Great Mod

[@zhuljens]

​@@Anion1987 It's not what I would want from FTL 2. FTL is perfect, multiverse just messes it up.

[@kareningram6093]

There are a lot of games I love to play that I am not good at. I feel like this could be one of them.

[@Nekoyashiki-san]

Thanks for showcasing. ^^

[@Reoh0z]

You tried it out! I thought you'd enjoy it.

[@parduke]

strength and power are not the same, power is a persists

[@lemsdarkapprentice2535]

Thanks for showcasing this, but I think my brain just melted at about 4:51

[@synstaur5986]

love it just saw this and checked steam and it's on sale... looks to be a good game

[@0num4]

Seems like a game I'd play quite a bit on the Steam Deck.

[@derekdrake8706]

This would be perfect for the Switch

[@GothicDragonX]

I have never seen this game. Somewhat reminds me of a hybrid of FTL and Slay The Spire in combat. Looks interesting.

[@exu7325]

The similarity to FTL is only superficial, they play completely different.

[@NILBOG13]

I'm naming all cat pets in any game I play "Master DongDong", tis a mighty Feline name.

[@ZevesG]

neat little game, good find

[@soluslupus8138]

The amount of games I've bought that I've watched you play but then been to dumb to play is staggering lol.

[@vwlssnvwls3262]

I am just as bad at these games, but you sold me. Bought and installed, and ready for me to fail at over and over. :D

[@conman413]

SPACEBALLS!

[@waffleswafflson3076]

Im enjoying Star Valor a lot.

[@ItsTheGofa]

Star Valor kicks arse, its a brilliant game. Have you tried Avorion? Another amazing game, has 1 million sectors every game, procedurally gen :)

[@tylerddh]

This would be a fun phone game.

[@nicknevco215]

This is like the space potato game with kitties

[@Blastermanx]

Gonna get jammed... raspberry

[@RMMinc]

This one looks pretty catchy tbh. Ship design lacking a bit, but it works!

[@MySkilletfan]

You shoe that ship man!

[@mattparker9726]

Does raspberry jam show up in this game? LONESTARRR!! Also, LUDICRIS SPEED!

[@lardus8614]

Randomly saw this video. Got the game last night. Stayed up waaayyyy too late 😅

[@bodobagger38]

Flash Ahaaaa Savior of the Universe!

[@pierremartinent5738]

Cool !

[@AlanW]

I thought it was going to be a card game, but it's much better!

[@armedbadger]

The weirdness of the game system gave me a slight StarCrawlers vibe. Same weird output changing perks that make digits mumbo jumbo

[@leafykille]

Looks fun, probably a good game to improve maths skills too. If they tagged it as educational they could probably sell it to parents that can't be bothered to teach their kids anything so that they can at least pass maths!

[@theusernameicoodfind]

There is only one who would dare give me the raspberry!

[@julatsa]

looks fun

[@vetres3]

You can use orange energy in ANY slot, i see you loading only the same colored energy as the slots of gentle tap device.

[@aramfingal]

I shed a tear that he didn't pick the kitty. 😢

[@gangsterHOTLINE]

Cat wearing single eye HUD device named Dongdong. Sold just take my damn money.

[@null-cipher]

They got my vote with that naruto reference

[@thorild69]

Your cat... Your cat's name is Dongdong. I am not certain if it's worse if you chose that or if it was RNG.

[@Di3Leberwurst]

At least it's not long dong.

[@kareningram6093]

Hard to say. It is the sort of name Splat would choose.

[@txGHOSTxt1]

They all have fixed names. Game is made by a bunch of chinese, for whom the word Dong seems like a normal name. They don't seem to have a native speaker on the team given the amount of spelling mistakes in the flavor events, so nobody was there to tell them how DickDick would be taken by a western audience.

[@thorild69]

@@txGHOSTxt1 Yeah, you got that right. I often wonder how many English names sound funny or naughty in Asian languages. Good post.

[@thorild69]

@@Di3Leberwurst But it would ROCK if it was long duk dong. (I am old so you may not get the reference :) )

[@rebirthofsword]

I think I’m too dumb for this but looks cool

[@dynaelder5037]

Yeah I am useless at games like this but it has me interested none the less

[@Bratkip]

*voiced by Dark Helmet*

[@Ambelghan]

Orange? Yellow? That's red man.

[@Lord_Xonaz]

This reminds me of the game "kobold core".

[@katherinebonkowski8925]

Where's the merch? I want a Splatter Cat tshirt!😅😊

[@Wintermist-SWE]

Well that was an easy buy :D

[@planexshifter]

All I know is there better be Ludacris speed-

[@Yarrex]

reminds me of dicey dungeons

[@zenchronus]

Is this Backpack Hero in space?!?

[@CharonXeno]

It is almost painful to watch Splattercat being blind again - he has the "Damage

[@GameTimeWhy]

Haha yeah thats splatt

[@Direct0rkrennic]

Classic ol'Splatt

[@planexshifter]

Nieces’ nephews’ uncles’ second-cousins room mate.

[@planexshifter]

Second cousins FORMER room mate I goofed it

[@JohnClam]

I predict the video will actually start at 7:43

[@charlesnchrg3]

The infinite black 2. Review it. It’s Indy enough, space genre and cross platform.

[@SilverKnightm2138]

Wow someone actually made tharsis but NOT utter pain to play

[@vetres3]

You are wasting energy on a lane that is taking just 1 damage anyway because of metal coating, you could have used the energy elsewhere like main ingredient and leftover pieces or other tripower unit to prepare it for next turn. Its just a feedback, i am not mad. I like this video!

[@AAX1975]

I bet this game would make my brain hurt near the end game.

[@priyanshugoel3030]

True art is an explosion was a naruto reference.

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

But can you jam the enemy's radar with rasberry?

[@nguyenhan1310]

Sold

[@mbielcik]

🖤

[@GoodEggGuy]

Splooty, are you feeling okay? You had the chance to recruit Repair Master DongDong and you didn't do it. What happened?

[@hkoizumi3134]

This is incredible. I made a game that was similar to this back in the 90's in one of those old TI83 calculator. It was called Stardust. I wonder if the author of the game ever played my game.

[@thedeadvirgin9189]

Lonestar freeze!

[@andired3415]

Better than Cosmoteer?

[@grandfremdling3841]

Fine

[@MrHeadphones64]

FTL, is that you?

[@petrkopac]

You're having a negative effect on my wallet 🙂

[@montarakid1943]

Hmm. A dice simulator. Just not for me. 🤔

[@sodabru1764]

Agreed, this game is a bit blah... not my bag, but thank you!

[@alekpo2000]

4:40 ohh man the gameplay lol, wtf is this an atari game? lol and you want 10$ for this huh?!

[@jeffalbero7398]

will you be covering palworld?

[@carltheoneeye9353]

Ain’t about it

[@mordreddelavirac]

[@sonicx059]

For a second I wanted to ask why are you talking like your about to stop the run..

[@andrel679]

These developers really need to think about converting their games to mobile. If I could play this on my phone I would be there 100 percent

[@red5standingby419]

Why? You like spending $1 per module unlock and $5 per legendary module to unlock? No thanks. Get a Steam Deck

[@vocaleyzz3953]

unfortunately i read the reviews and a few things in there are serious game breaking broken,

[@darmocat]

This makes me sad. I would play the game in the loading screen, the actual gameplay...not so much :(

[@TheFunLuvnCRIMINAL]

They need to improve wording.

[@superbadassking]

Stupid game making me buy it and all

[@eno9773]

first?

[@soulsoulsoul634]

i dont like games with lanes really its overly boring
