I never put my finger on exactly why, but Duskers always gave me future-70s, Soviet sci-fi vibes. Plus you can also play it on basically anything.
New game to check out, thanks!
Personally, I love games that squeeze the absolute most out of as little storage and resources as possible, like Crosscode and Pseudoregalia. Retro happens to be a fantastic fit for that kind of stuff.
Animal Well blows my mind, even if it isn't my favorite game overall. Same with Cave Story, using older NES and SNES styles can save tons of space but with modern game design.
Yeah, it's really impressive and there's something endlessly neat about that kind of really considered efficiency.
I get hyperfixated on that kinda stuff, efficiency is my jam.
Duskers is really good but hard. Also you do a lot of Linux terminal style typing. It's not complicated but does add a ton of immersion.
Another game that is surprisingly small is Factorio. I just reinstalled yesterday and it took like 10 seconds to download lol.
