    Thanks so much! I've loved your videos for a long time! It's amazing for Lunacid to be in one and highlighted so around other indie gems!
  • @RafaelBrum
    Hey Iron Pineapple! I'm one of the devs from Knights of the Deep! Thanks for playing our little humble game haha! Really appreciate the kind words. 💕🦀
  • @btarczy5067
    This series started out as somewhat of a joke and by now it’s among my favorites on YouTube. Some of these little games really deserve the attention and even Pineapple‘s criticisms don’t come off derisive. Love it!
  • @zlatto
    to be honest, Steelrising's animations are top notch next-gen level. They are by far the best animations in every soulslike out there.
  • @duelcorp.130
    Duel Corp. developers here. We just wanted to say that you made our dream come true. Thank you so much for trying out our (very early) second alpha build. It's really cool that you liked it, and we hope everyone who sees this likes it too. We're also really excited about the multiplayer co-op mode and can't wait to do a second playtest for it. As a two-man team, we're really excited to see what people think so we can make it even better!
  • @VaatiVidya
    Guys pine has me locked in a cage and is forcing me to play more soulslikes I've never heard of(again). He says he'll only let me out if you buy his Merch and like the video! Help!
  • @IronPineapple
    Hard to believe we're on episode 19 I know I haven't uploaded in a while, but I've been working on a few videos at once, and I'm aiming to finish a couple more over the next month.
  • I don't know if this is intended but I love the fact that in Lunacid you're never shown your player model so you might as well just be a floating hand as shown from the start, and it sure looks like it since you can only see a floating hand from your POV when playing. These are the kind of details I live for!
  • @jordann2879
    That triumphant "haha" at 27:11 before you got spirit bombed by a cosmic deer was perfect 😂
  • Knights of The Deep unironically looks hella good actually
  • @basiljanestevens
    I like that he seems really aware that his platform may be the biggest most of these games will see, and his critiques could potentially impact the developer's future, so he's careful with how he phrases things. Pine is a kind person.
  • @ADCarboni
    "Sorry, its for science, i needed to know if you could die" is the most psychopathic thing i've ever heard 10/10
  • @nweasels
    That first one was absolutely magnificent with the boulder just chasing you up the hill.
  • @StormCrownSr
    I think my favourite part about this series is the developers leaving comments. They're always so excited and happy.
  • @DanteYewToob
    Knights of the Deep genuinely looks like the most fun party game I’ve ever seen… If they make a console release I’ll buy it. Playing split screen at a party or online seems like so much chaotic fun!
  • @Hahahahaaahaahaa
    "omg it's death! ... HE CAN GO THROUGH WALLS!" Any game that can get you to say this out loud was worth the time to make. Not sure how I missed this set a couple months ago but always a treat!
  • @scott6595
    Plz don’t ever let this series end! 💯
  • @FallenSachiel
    I love how the crow NPC in Lunacid is named after singer Sheryl Crow. Simply fantastic.
  • I just gotta say I love your feedback. You are always thoughtful and never just rip on a game. I respect the time you take to give helpful feedback to the devs. I am binge watching this series because i find it interesting and i like the sound of your voice. I don't play dark souls but i like to watch others play it. Keep using your passion for good games to help others 👍
  • Some of these actually look legit. Duel Corp actually looks like they put a lot of time and love into it.
