Hello, and welcome to another episode of Talk This! It’s Dangerous to Podcast Alone. This week, we’re talking about Geometry Wars and Look Outside. Hiding in my house, attempting to ignore the geometry happening all around me.
As always, you can listen to our podcast basically anywhere. Check it out on Apple Podcasts, YouTube, Spotify, or Pandora (or head over to our episodes page for even more options). Or just listen below!
Geometry Wars
Geometry Wars was initially a minigame in a different game in 2003, but it saw a full release with Retro Evolved in 2005. It is an arcade shooter initially developed by Bizarre Creations. Increasingly scary shapes will continue to appear, and it’s the player’s job to take them out and get the highest score possible.
Look Outside
Look Outside was made by Francis Coulombe in a 2024 game jam, which he then worked with partners to develop into a full game that released in 2025. Something bad is happening outside, and you must survive fifteen days in your apartment building while everything settles down. Engage in self-care, explore your building, fight monsters, and befriend (or not) your neighbors to make it through.
