Grouvee Alphabet Challenge 2025

Really enjoy this challenge, so of course I’m back in! Last time around it pushed me to play a bunch of shmups and other short-form games I love but sometimes lose sight of, and I hope it’ll do the same this year.

Excited to jump on this one early enough that I am motivated to do it! The games that I have in progress towards the challenge are in italics, whereas those I have completed will be in standard font. (I’m counting the last week of 2024 towards this, don’t tell anyone)

How was Trine 5? It’s been a long time since I played a Trine game.

I’m still playing with my girlfriend. Not hugely different from Trine 2 or 4. It’s an enjoyable co-op but nothing mind-melting.

Sort of unrelated, but did anyone here request access to a spreadsheet i sent here as editor? If so, I’d want to know why in order to avoid trolling and the like, but also just in case it could be malware I am receiving
