Skullmonkeys is a PSX sequel to the Neverhood. It is a platformer in claymation style and a fairly long speedrun. We’ll knock that time down!
Cool graphics and music on this one. Lots of stomping on enemies and a few different weapons to try out.
I’m interested to see how this game routes out; it seems like it has a lot of stages and bonus content too, if those goodies end up being extremely speedy.

The clock ends on March 7th! Good luck!
Magic Castle on the P
S1 is our speed game of January 2021! It is a roguelike that was left unfinished until the start of this year! We hopped right on it because it’s a lot of fun and I think it will make for a very interesting racing game. We will be along with everyone else in the world trying to figure out how this game works.
The goal of our race on January 31st will be first to kill the lich, or best distance in 1 hour.
The prize for this one is $100, for first place!!
You can play between any of four characters and even multiple characters at once if you feel that will help you (they don’t share exp so I have my doubts). There are a lot of items to manage, upgrades to find and levels to clear in order to make sure you can survive. Read more...
Shinobi
We have a relatively short but difficult arcade game here; Shinobi! The world record wraps this one up in almost under 13 minutes but we feel like a successful run of the game wouldn’t take longer than 20.
It’s a simple enough platformer, which is what we were looking for this time! Ranged/melee attacks based on distance to the enemy, and a screen attack once per area. You can hop from upper to lower levels and mess up the enemies a bit. There are enemies that pop out real fast and assassinate you, so you’ll have to figure out how to deal with those!
Good luck. Race on the 27th!!
Monster Mauler!
The new format is a race-focused format rather than concerning the world record times. We will be doing a for-fun race, and then when the clock hits 0 we will host a real race and award the winners of that with the prize! Everyone is welcome to participate and we will host off-screen races for people who can’t make it that particular night. This format will be tested during November and if we like it we may use it in the future.
Monster Mauler game is a boss beat-em-up sort of arcade game. We’ll help get you set up if you need help.
Default settings, any character, infinite credits!!
Good luck!
