Hmm as far as modern twin sticks I of course love Nuclear Throne and Enter the Gungeon. Brigador is looking really hot but I haven't played it yet - definitely one to watch. Gauntlet is pretty solid too (specially co-op). Infested Planet was a great game, really great mashup of gameplay. Hammerwatch is probably my favorite couch co-op PC game and it should be right up your alley. You've probably played or own a lot of those already though!
I am obsessed with the 16-bit era of my teen years and so if you do any retro gaming I also have many recommendations. Top of the list would be Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Soldiers of Fortune, and S.M.A.S.H T.V. (all SNES).
Wow thanks for the awesome review, and the vote! It sounds like you and I have very similar game interests!
What you said about the running animation is very true. I only have the key frames in right now, there will be at least twice as many frames as well as idle and a couple more states. So yes I agree! The old animation was a massive 5-way 14 frame monster but it clashed with my final art style. If you get a chance please tweet about Kite or leave a comment on Greenlight, it really helps!
Wow! I'm speechless! Thank you so much for the play through! I got so much great information from watching you, and it was super entertaining! Your commentary had me laughing so hard! Thanks for checking out Kite!
