Let's see if this grabs me more than Wolfendoom.

The song is "Theme of Simon" from this album:

I watched Mike Matei stream it for a few hours, looked pretty sweet for a fan game.

So far, bats seem to be my arch enemy.

I only watched the 58 second trailer but holy shit, the lighting was a bit more than atmospheric... I couldn't see a damn thing.

It's not nearly that dark in the game, thankfully.

Made it through stage one. The bat boss is really easy to cheese once you corner it. Axe mandatory, it seems. Daggers might work too.

The bats have a really funky hitbox. You have to be pretty much kissing them for your whip to register. Sometimes you get hit, sometimes you don't.

It's been updated to 1.2 (a, uh, couple of days ago )

 They fixed the bats!

Still feels a little off, but MUCH better than before.

I like his content. He beat Superman 64 on stream a few months ago.

I don't hate him but he does have a sizable hate mob against him, and I think he drunkenly flashed his dick on-stream a few months ago to prove he had a big dick or something to chat trolls.

Which now that I think about it should make me like him more...
