Hello! Welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we’ve found ourselves playing over the last few days. This time: boats, a birthday, and a hedgehog.
If you fancy catching up on some of the older editions of What We’ve Been Playing, here’s our archive.
Thunderful had a bunch of games at the WASD game show in London last week, but the one that really caught my eye was Swordship.
It’s a downward-scrolling arcade game in which you control a futuristic speedboat and try to steal valuable shipments from a megacorporation enemy, while trying not to get blown up in the process. I checked the Swordship website after the show and discovered there’s a global warming backstory, which explains the flooded world.
