Weekly update #2

Within the past week, I’ve both began and finished Kero Blaster and Stardew Valley!

Kero Blaster was pretty simple fun. The game basically looks, plays, and sounds about the same as Cave Story, so it was pretty easy for me to get into. It’s suuuuper short though, with me beginning and finishing it within an afternoon, so I’d only recommend getting it if you find a good deal. There’s an alternate campaign after you beat it that I haven’t played through yet though, so I’ll come back to it pretty soon.

Stardew Valley took up a lot more of my time this week. I’ve never really played through a Harvest Moon game before, so everything was pretty new to me, and I don’t really know how I felt about it.

At first, I was a little frustrated since I was spending up until 12-2:00 p.m. just taking care of crops everyday, so I felt like I was missing out on everything else in the game since between the time it took to finish farm things, how slow my character moves, and the fact that you HAVE to get back home before 2:00 am, I didn’t feel like I actually had the time to do other things.

However, once I managed to set up deluxe sprinklers around the farm, I pretty much took care of everything else I would be interested in doing in the game within a month and got hella rich. I dunno, maybe the game just wasn’t for me since I felt the goal of farming was to spend the least amount of time farming for the most money. At the same time though, I feel like I enjoyed it most while I was still balancing activites.

If anybody reads this and has played a good amount of Harvest Moon, I’d be very curious what their thoughts are on it. How is Harvest Moon the same or different? Which do people prefer? Please let me know.

I still haven’t organized my library, although I’ve set a plan for categories. I’m intending to work on this on and off throughout the next few weeks during downtime waiting for classes.

Next Bubble Plant weekly update: Azure Striker Gunvolt + either Steamworld Dig&Heist, or Hyperlight Drifter. For next week, I also wish to figure out formatting for these updates.
