Archive: June/July, 2005: Dokutsu Monogatari, Tumiki Fighters / Plan B Magazine

As I’ve managed to post all of the links related to the Toronto International Film Festival so far, I suppose I should really start up posting up all the links to my work in order again.

This seems to be the first copy of Plan B that I’m in that I have managed to find in my possession, which is nice. It includes a couple of reviews which are probably pretty unusual for a music magazine, as they’re reviews of Japanese doujin titles. Tumiki Fighters is a lovable side scrolling shooter set in a world made of children’s building blocks, created by everyone’s favourite doujin developer Kenta Cho (a.k.a ABA Games).

The other title is really the revelation that made me write the reviews, though, as I’d spent the whole month playing nothing but it. Dokutsu Monogatari, created by the reclusive Studio PIXEL, is a lonely and lovely platform game that’s challenging, pleasurable, and a bit moving too. It’s old news by now, really, but if you haven’t heard of it by now it’s more than worth giving a shot.

Anyway, this issue of Plan B is available for purchase as a back issue.
