Two Games, Zero Strikes | 10 Minute Tower and 10 Pin Bowling (VR Support) Game Reviews

Welcome to Steam Sequence, a series where I attempt to play and review as many Steam games in alphabetical order as possible to sort the Trash from the Treasure.
This means that I'm playing through all the terrible games so that you don't have to.
Please enjoy my suffering.

In case you're wondering, Steam organizes games starting with punctuation first, then numbers, and then the actual alphabet. It may be some time before I reach the letter "A" on my journey!

Stlight correction, team 17 didnt make blasphemous. That was game kitchen. They published it.

[@Graeldon]

Thanks for the correction!

[@mauricioalvarezpino1818]

Man, I somehow never processed that we were this close to 10 Second Ninja, cool

[@DairunCates]

Yeah. There's some gems coming up. The fact that Graeldon might be one of the first people to actually cover 1000xRESIST is wild to me.

[@fatyoshi696]

15:13 fun fact, there is actually a way to play wii sports in vr! There's an unofficial fork of dolphin called dolphin vr which lets you play any wii or gamecube game in vr, and while I don't remember managing to connect the vr controllers to dolphin you can just use a regular wii remote via bluetooth, I've played stuff like mario kart and metroid prime on it and it works surprisingly well

[@shinyagumon7015]

10 Minute Tower has some nice ideas and a good cause behind it, but it's underbaked, I really like the idea of a classic dungeon crawler/Rogue Lite but without any combat, but 10 minutes is a lot of time for such shallow gameplay. Maybe if the timer was shorter and reset after every floor, the pacing would be improved, like the player has to choose if they want to prioritize finding the exit or earn more points and items for completing puzzles. I was almost going to excuse 10 Pin Bowling for being a glorified tech demo and say it has potential if the developer ever decides to finish it, but 12 CAD for a game that you can't even play against a CPU and that somehow has worse controls than Wii Sports Bowling had is just very shameless.

[@taisato2091]

hmm maybe completing a puzzle could restore some of the time

[@crimsonvale7337]

I’m unsurprised about 10 minute tower, puzzles and timers generally don’t go well together

[@bool5733]

That bowling game looks like it's be a demo I'd play on Quest 2 for like maybe 5-10 minutes at the most and then never touch again after that lol but it's 12 CAD??! Not sure I'd be willing to pay that much even if it *were* a well-made bowling game tbh ^-^;; Also HI I've been watching this channel a long time but I but I never commented I don't think- and I'm glad I could get the chance to sponsor my own Larry finally! Always love seeing from this channel! :)

[@TheRealVenusian]

I’m sad that 10 Minute Tower wasn’t good enough, it looked pretty cool. Maybe with some more polish it can be something. The next game looks cool though!

[@aprilderg7241]

Just realized this series means that by the end you will be the person with the most bought steam games...all of them Then again comes the question of new releases that might come in as the series goes on

[@Graeldon]

Oddly enough, even if maintain the current pace of game completion and reviews, I doubt I'll have the most expansive Steam library by the time I die. PS new releases will be covered if I'm ever able to do this full time

[@aprilderg7241]

@Graeldon hey over time you'll get better and faster And a couple decades can change a lot, I mean who knows, maybe by the time you die you'll be able to host your mind in the cloud as long as you let elon mine dogecoin on half your frontal lobe and insert ads into your memories

[@Fang_Tooth]

the first game here seems to have a similar problem with random generation that the past game with zombies had ironically, where instead of making the game unique with every playthrough and incentivizing re-playability it was just sloppy and made it more limiting adding _less_ variety which is extremely weird, but also interesting it happened twice in a row

[@zelenpixel]

a mobile game from 2003 ive played had more control over the bowling ball's trajectory than this game

[@antonrathjens7468]

GRAELDOOOON!!! MAKE ANOTHER STEAM REVIEW, AND MY LIFE IS YOURS

[@Graeldon]

Deal! Two 10 second ninja games are coming soon!

[@SomeGuy712x]

(16:03) Reminds me of how Magical Drop V has a bunch of achievements related to game modes that were never added. Also, there are some achievements that look like they should be doable, like getting a 15-chain, 20-chain, and 25-chain (my best chain in that game is 31), but only the 10-chain achievement works, as the bigger chain achievements were added later, but apparently not made to be functional. It's a real shame that Golgoth ended up leaving Magical Drop V in such an unfinished state, and eventually the game was delisted from Steam, after having first had its $10 price tag dropped to a mere 99 cents for a period of time. (17:38) Ooh, that looks like 10 Second Ninja coming up!

[@NabbyLloyd]

What will happen when you get to those games that cost like $200?

[@pitt2445]
