– Added Boons & Burdens (by the Gunlocked dev) to upcoming games
– Ranked Boons & Burdens by dev submitted scorecard
– Ranked and reviewed Bounty of One, Void Scrappers, Beat Hazard 3
– Ranked Godstrike, Asterogues, Jetboard Joust (from the bullet heaven fest) by research and a bit of play, IMHO none are bullet heavens.
– Moved Beat Hazard 1 & 2 to possible later updates alongside other top down arena shooters. Having BH3 on here is probably enough, though it’s the least good of the three atm imho.
– Ranked Beach Invasion 1944 (as malware), earning our first and hopefully last full negative point in achievements for just throwing piles of n-zi medals at you within minutes of opening which requires you to contact support to remove from your profile, a gameplay loop I never anticipated.
– Added “game design philosophy” to defined terms
– I’ll be trying to “review” two games a day for the bullet heaven fest

– Started reviewing GunDeck[100]
– Ranked Soundodger +, Soundodger 2, Missiles Away based on dev scorecard and started tweaking based on research (a fair amount on this one, but my fault for not having the scoring guide done.)
– Added Thunder Chase
– Added Dodge ‘Em Up to defined terms
– Revised scorecard form to remove negative response options for some categories where it would be extremely rare. Should help streamline the responses.
– Removed “Recommended” wording in the sidebar and bolding for recommendations. Was kind of an old remnant of when this was a more personal document keeping track of what I was into. Will further consider ways to direct people to review columns and feature comparison to make their own decisions. Will consider some way to note things that are very much not recommended but they’d just get lower reviews right?
– I have r/mowinggames but I don’t really have a plan for it. it feels we’re already pushing the edge of specialized communities for niche subgenres with this r/survivorslikes and r/bulletheavens but it remains one of my favorite tags and most descriptive of one of my favorite play styles. Maybe it’s a shitposting sub like magic the gathering circlejerk? idk
– and god help me I styled it.
– Reaching a dangerous level of exhaustion here lol but just aiming to have the scoring guide done before I have to set this project as my very part time hobby again and go back to real work next week.

– Finished updating previous scoring guide colors (blah, labor intensive), can now start writing the damn thing again
– Finished scoring guide and examples for the second category group (Simple Movement Focused Controls) and third category group (Survival Game Modes). That’s 19 down 60 to go!
– Increased font size on steam tag research and scoring guide to match explainer
– Updated paragraph seperations on scoring guide to seperate cells to help with phone scrolling
– Shortlinks were down most of the day thanks to a server facility power outage at dreamhost, but it seems to be fixed now.
– Added Zombie Admin, Stick Survivors, Anti-Nightmare Master Plan, Rogue City, Soundodger+, Soundodger 2, Fate and Judgement (mostly to upcoming)
– Ranked Core Devourer, Don’t Die Collect Loot, GunDeck[100], Zombie Admin, Mutagenic by dev submitted scorecards

– Added “Run Time” column to spreadsheet
– Added “Run Time” to definitions
– Created discord and linked in spreadsheet header
– Created shortlink discord.survivorslikes.com and linked it in subreddit header and sidebar
– Created discord channels for various topics
– Reordered “other details” meta categories to put Run Time, Multiplayer and NSFW first
– Ranked M.O.O.D.S., Pandora, Ragnarok Survivors: Valhalla, Need for Cheese, Arcadium – Space Odyssey, Bullet Bunney via dev submitted scorecard
– Started Ranking Crafty Survivors, Nordic Ashes based on u/Silver721 form submitted scorecards and Enter the Gungeon from gameplay
– Added Earl vs. The Mutants, 轮回序列 Samsara Agent, Radio Silent, TH3-M15 GUILD, Don’t Die Collect Loot, Time To Strike, HaHa, YouTuber Survivors, Too Many Cooks, Can Strike, Alien Hominid: Invasion
– Added various metadata via user (Genki) comments

– Changed heatmap color for similarity from Green to BLUE to indicate it’s not a judgement of how good the game is.
– Added additional mini-review subjectivity disclaimer and authorship note to first column
– Revised “Worth Playing” column section to generate score only based on the three review columns (the category based review scale, steam average reviews, and personal review). A game could be totally different and worth playing. It’s ok to make readers check two columns before deciding to play, too weird to be figuring the similarity scale into the reviews directly.
– Added Talented to coming soon section
– Added fan submitted info for Elemental Survivors, will review it alongside dev submitted info and revise
– Ranked Shoot 1UP, Fallen Force by dev submitted scorecard
– Added Enemy Hell to definitions
– 400 members in the subreddit! That’s great for just a couple days
