Hey, creative director for Abigor here. I always knew in the back of my mind that there was a chance we could show up on an Iron Pineapple video but I didn't think it would actually happen. Our team worked really hard on Abigor for 8 months and put our hearts into it. Glad you had fun with it; I couldn't hope for more! Thanks for playing, made my day.
-
Sorry for hitting you with that fireball. D'oh! (Homer Simpson moment haha)
-
oh that Tower Princess thing is heartbreaking. Everything looks so passionately crafted....except the actual gameplay. It's like they were putting their all into it and then the budget ran out after they were 20% done, and everything had to be designed around hiding that.
-
Tower Princess seems like one of those absolute gems in concept that has been ruined by someone in production saying "Yo no guys you TOTALLY have to make it a roguelike they're selling so good these days"
-
Asterigos had some fantastic sound design. That alligator bite sound was so crisp, everything sounded like it had weight
-
Vaati admitting to purposefully hiding the existence of Minions from his son is some of the funniest shit I’ve heard in a long time 😂
-
Asterigos looks surprisingly great! Feels like a lot of love went into making it, very promising demo
-
Man Abigor is just oozing with charm, those students should be proud of what they made.
-
I would just like to say that despite how rough Tower Princess is, the princess designs are amazing. Like genuinely, the penguin princess is adorable.
-
This is probably my favorite ongoing series, Iron's recommendations has made me buy at least 3 games I wouldn't even have been aware of without it.
-
Seeing Asterigos here was a pleasant surprise because that game is already on my wish list. Seems like you had a good time with it, that makes me even more motivated to buy it. Quick update in case anyone cares: I played it and loved it. Highly recommend.
-
Asterigos looks great! The fact that it ends and you're like "are you kidding me?" is a good sign
-
Congratulations for getting the score of 2 in Divinus Vanitas. I am proud of you
-
I really can't believe our game (divinus vanitas, the first one) made this list. I am so honored, thank you so much <3 As a thanks for being featured here, the game is now a lot cheaper than on the video! Thank you once more!
-
Not sure if you'll see this comment but I wanted to extend a thank you. My son's and I bond through video games and we love souls/bloodborne/elden ring games and we absolutely love these video series. We've watched them all a few times. Please keep making them and thank you from a fan.

notes about Asterigos: Curse of the Stars: You can jump, as well. When you played, though, the jump input was to input the sprint input and the dodge input simultaneously; now there's a separate input for it. Every weapon has a special attack that is used when you switch to it from your other weapon. That's really not very relevant anymore because you did this two months ago, but whatever.
-
The first game was actually really well made for a student project
-
I actually alpha tested Abigor. For one of my classes I had to test games made by the seniors. This is a student project. I’m in the same class rn. Cool to see it get some exposure. It’s improved a lot since launch.
-
Right when I saw the MC get up at 28:49 I knew Abigor was going to be an enjoyable experience. Just the fact that someone put the time into giving all of the NPCs in the classroom unique things to do makes it stand out a ton despite the lack of visual fidelity, and shows they put a lot of effort into it. Good on them :D
-
I think this is my longest video ever and it was on accident
