Billy Hatcher was a game I have fond memories of playing as a kid. I thought it would be a good thing to play for the adventure stream series just to go over it and kinda rediscover the title. Little did I know that it would end up being the second game ever that we aren't going to finish in the stream. I think I summarize it well enough in my stream https://www.twitch.tv/videos/727479747
Ultimately, I'm just disappointed in the title. It had a lot going for it. A really fun silly premise, honestly interesting controls and moves, and just felt good to play for the most part. But the level design and lack of telling you key things just sucked. I spent almost half of our deaths on one part because I didn't know you had to JUMP onto a rail to ride it instead of just pushing your egg onto it. Then later on the final thing was that you had to go up a ramp using a dash and jumps keeping your momentum. This is something that was explicitly shown to you to be impossible. You go down a ramp, you stay down the ramp unless you can get up in one dash. But not here, one of the very final levels. You had to literally do the thing the game told you not to do. No. Nopenopenopenope. Done at that point.
If you want to watch art being made, or us playing the next game in our adventure series, then come on over to Twitch. Its a fun group we have over there https://www.twitch.tv/zaezar
The next game in the series will be Pokemon Coliseum. I expect it will turn out a LOT better then Billy Hatcher! Come on by Monday if you wanna watch that start. See ya around~
