So that's what inspired Giger's Alien mouth-in-mouth horror then? Yikes.

Why have teet at the front then?

[–] Neato@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This game really messed up having no separation between power and air. You could get smashed out by goombas on land then just have a little dip to recharge. Part of the charm I suppose, I love that game.
