Lemon might be working through his backlog but adding more games to mine. The irony

"To those in the distant future, should you find my grave, I ask this: Is Silksong out yet?" by Dylan McNeil on the gravestone. Best quote.

I'd like to see a corrupt Playthrough

Hey lemon. JK Leeds uploaded his bloodborne canon video, and he found a move in Martyr Logarius' second phase where his projectile shield isn't active. Meaning you could try the Molotov only and see if you could beat him now. Just in case you weren't suffering enough.

I was like "why do these characters seem so familiar" and then he walked up to Rusty from Rusty's retirement and it all clicked xd

One hell of an review. Gives enough to pique interest, leaves enough to motivate us to get the game, and demonstrates a glimpse of the skill ceiling possible Edit: I know this isn't an advert, but considering this review made me buy the game I say it works as an ad. ...I'll just say review.

I like how the game sells you the healing wrench later on in the game in case you missed it earlier. It's hard to miss and 99% of players probably grabbed it when it first appeared, but it's a nice touch

i love that the creator of this game put in so many references... both easy and hard to spot.... easy one being the double jump room looks a LOT like metroids powerup rooms

“Haiku, if you haven’t guessed, is a robot” that made me laugh so much more than it should’ve

FINALLY!!! I've been saying for years that one of the absolute rules that we need to introduce in games is "if the enemy spawns a minion, their hp MUST be linked"... finally one dev having the right ideas!!!

KZfaq boil, KZfaq bubble. A backlogs video to sooth my trouble

17:44 In D&D, mimics can assume any shape roughly the same volume as itself ... including doors, tables, bookshelves, and many other fun objects dungeon masters can think up.

This is lovely pixel art. It's too often used as a shortcut or poorly thought out style choice. This may have been done to save resources but there's clear effort, no cut corners, and TONS of detail.

So I started playing Rusty’s Retirement around the end of April and have never heard of this game until now then I see this video and think “hey I know that character!”

This is just like gorbino's Quest. This is the Gorbino's Quest of The Backlogs.

I watched it last night, I will say it is a very cute game and I look forward to more runs from it! Thank you Lemon!

I played Haiku last year while working on my backlog and it really took me by surprise. It's a great MetroidVania with a surprisingly good story that just oozes charm. Awesome to see it getting more love!

In all honesty, I wasn't expecting this game but I enjoy that you like the game, and how cutesy this fairly violent metroidvania looks

I never expected a Haiku video, the game kept my Hollow Knight addiction going, I 100% the game on my second playthrough and it was so good

Such a cute little game.

This really is just reskinned Hollow Knight, which is a great thing and looks incredible.

this game is so beautiful and charming with its style and amazing bits and nods to other games, even if its not that obvious there is a lot of references in this game hidden behind its art style, i loved this game so much and I'm happy you did too lemon, praise the cogs. ps- shoutout to my boi Dylan McNeil even in death his still rolling in his grave from excitement waiting for silk song F for respect.

I just finished the beast claw video when i saw this. Always happy to see another video

this is one of my favorite games ever i'm so happy you're doing a run for it

Lemon, i love your Dark Souls Content, but i need mooooore xD i didn't know what i needed, until i saw your Firebomb-Runs. If there is a chance, doing a "crackpot-/firebomb-Run" in Elden Ring i would be so happy. Until then, you're doing great! Great work, great voice, great patience and last but not least great run-ideas. I hope you reap what you sow. MAY FIREBOMBS TAKE THE WORLD.

Hi there lemon! It’s me Melon(or Melanie since my name is in the account xD) I just wanted to say that you are one of my favorite creators in the platform. Your videos inspire me to keep playing games even if sometimes it’s hard to stay doing things I love due to mental disorders and stuff. Your videos always entertain me but also don’t take the charm of games. You give me the itch to play and explore while learning of games in a way that not that many others have done. Stay safe, stay strong and keep at it. You are amazing and loved!

I ADORE seeing more games from your backlog!

Thanks for making my day a little better!!

Never knew this game existed before, and now that I do, I'm gonna need to go play it

Sir, you have no idea how badly I needed to hear "Hey, it's Lemon. Welcome to The Backlogs."

Yoo new Backlogs video dropped thx Lemon i love your content and can’t stop watching lmaooo thank you for doing this for us❤

Man I remember your channel when it was small and I would watch all of your salt and sanctuary content, keep it up❤

Splunk is wonderful, I’m so happy they were okay at the end of it.

Magnetic footing… smells like steady body to me. I must acquire it immediately.

Very cute game, love all the similarities with it and hollow knight. It's like hollow knight 1.5, it has the dreamers, watcher knights, godhome, quirrel, hell even hiveblood. But ontop of all of these similarities is everything different and I love that

That game looks so cool!!! Awesome video as always!!

thank you for playing this game i love it and giving your giving it the attention it deserves

I'm so glad u released this video because it gave me note of this game that I wanna but it now

This is such a good game. Excellent to see you doing stuff on it.

26:19 god this right here is absolutely beautiful i cant its just too good

Totally agree on the sentiment of giving players control over their environment and mobility options. Nothing feels better in a game, especially a platformer of some kind, than to be given a bunch of really cool mobility options, and feeling yourself slowly get more skilled at using them efficiently. Metroid Dread was HUGE in this... Getting good at Speed Boosting and learning how to chain Shinesparks? *chef's kiss* Mwah~

Awesome work as usual sir keep up the good work

That Silksong grave just keeps getting funnier and sadder lol

Thanks for another awesome Run Lemon

The premise reminds me of the PSP Rengoku. The story is you're a robot in a battle tower area and you fight your way to the top of the tower and drop everything on death for the entertainment of people. It just happens that the people all died off and the robots were still stuck fighting forever.

I loved this video and I would love to see you do another run of this game I think it would be great to watch

Bout time! Nah im kidding Lemon. Just glad the recommendation led to a challenge run.Had a feeling when i played it you would enjoy this one.

A video that sooths the soul. Good stuff mate

Such a cute little game

Ngl im actually happy with you made this this game is so good

This game kicks absolute ass. Played through recently. Definitely did a few things harder than needed with jump timings over water, before getting upgrade to begate such challenges. Nice Senator Lime-Inverse.

Hey! Listen! Darksouls challenge run idea! Pine Resins only! Use the weakest weapon you can find and make it through the game by only buffing it with Resins! Go for it Lemon! And keep up the good work!

Eyyy very excited to see Lemon going to more variety contents, especially on games I have actually played!

lemon turning games into darksouls and salt and sacrifice is his trademark at this point

Dang, I've never heard of this game, but just added it to my wishlist for post-Shadow of the Erdtree. Thanks Lemon!

This is like a Sonic game: - lots of jumping segrements and stompers - saving your robot friends from a virus infection - rolling mode - sawblade rolling mode - chaos control to teleport - Grappler is knuckles glide, in dangerous That actually makes me wonder if a Sonic Metroidvania could work?

Man it's such an honor to see my name up there as a graduate lol. Excellent video, as always.

I swear wvery time I see one of these videos and I'm like "eh doesn't look like my kinda game" then I see its lemon and I sprint towards the video at full speed

What an absolute gem of a game! It looks so quality and cute! I would love to see a corrupt run of the game!

This is a pretty good game, I played it with a while back together with my mom, it has very clearly taken a lot of inspiration from hollow knight but you don't feel like you are playing the same game which is pretty nice.

Haiku is one of my favorite Metroidvanias, I almost 100% it (which is very unusual for me) even! It's not long, I've got 9 hours of playtime on Steam, but that's a feature in my book. It doesn't overstay its welcome. And it has a new DLC I missed so it might be time to revisit!

Loved the video!!!! Lemon have you finished the dark souls one shot video?

Yay Haiku! I really liked this game, the artstyle was really cool.

I love when you do metroidvanias! Please, PLEASE do something with Ender Lilies. It’s legit one of the best games in the genre imo, yet very few people have ever heard of it. There’s a sequel coming out called Ender Magnolias too.

What a cute little game! We love the backlog shortening!

This game gives off extremely strong "Hollow Knight at home" vibes, and they just get stronger the more I watch. Though of course it does seem to be much more than that.

Oh god one of my favourite content creators does a challenge run in an obscure indie game? Well, got to buy it now. Hope you feel good about that lemon

i'd definitely be interested in seeing a Corrupted run at some point! lovely little game, this

A fun video AND new Lemon lore? I'll take it!

came for the challenge, left with a new game to play, thanks lemon

for some reason, I feel like a need to see Lemon play Ori, preferebly both games, and maybe see him cryiing as he finishs the game. not because it's a frustating game, just because of how beatiful, and sad, the game is. also feel like he's going to absolutely love the game, even if he do a hardcore challenge, HECK i dont even care about the challenge, just wanna see him playing through Ori and Blind Forest and Ori and the Will of the Wisps

Speed run the game And good video bay the way ❤

Thanks for playing loading screen simulator I saw you had 100% it so I tried it so fun

Id love to see a corrupted run sounds sadistic enough for this channel

"Solaire Retirement Simulator" I like that.

Finally, Lemon has manged to become the firebomb. He is complete.

I started playing Rusty’s Retirement after hearing it mentioned on a Second Wind podcast. If you like idle games it’s a solid recommendation.

I've been playing Rusty's Retirement so much lately, it's such an adorable little game.

I didn’t expect someone talking about silksong on their kickstarter-tombstone

Seeing another Metroidvania challenge run makes me hopeful for a Ender Lilies or Blasphemous run!

At 10:29 Lemon must not have seen the Robots Movie growing up bc they tell you how robot babies are made and how they get new Upgrades every year to simulate growing.

Ohh yeah, *definitely* want to see that Corrupted mode run.

hey lemon, not sure if you tested this or not for the elden ring firepot only run but i did some testing for in case you didn't and i think i have some info that might help your run a little. the first is to do alexander's questline as he gives items that boost throwing pots, second is to go to jarburg as you can get a small headstart on cracked jars and ritual pots which you can get access to using the secret pass around stormveil, next is that buffs like the jellyfish shield, golden vow, and flame grant strength which all stack and buff pot damage and you don't need to invest in faith if you get the gv aow though it doesn't seem like that much of an increase to me although that was probably because my strength was low when i tested it, another thing is if you get the oil pots which can be unlocked from the merchant in siofria river which can be accessed in liurnia near the begining and they work similar to the bloodborne oil urns and also seems to allow it to hit through shields though im not sure if that part is true or it if i just was bypassing the enemies shield that i was testing on , to access the merchant you go to the scaffolding in the middle of the siofria river and there is a not so hidden path near the end of the top platform. and the last gthing is the scorpion charms and the elemental cracked tears which will buff their respective elemental pots. hope this helps lemon.

This game looks incredible, I'm into it!

It’s cool that this run is actually an achievement in this game. Built-in challenge runs are pretty cool, like re4 remake’s no merchant achievement

17:44 and it still won't be anywhere near as frustrating as those Pole Plants in Rainworld.

Corrupt mode sounds fun. You should absolutely do it and preferably without any bomb upgrades. Good old fashioned sword only :D

Did anyone else pick up on the Inception reference from creator 2? "An idea is like a virus. Resilient and highly contagious"

Lemon I think it’d be fun to see you do corrupted mode with no modules as the next foray into this game, at least no modules that affect combat, so environment based ones would still be on the table

this is such a great looking little game.

congrats, you lived up tot he channel name and knocked one off your backlog

You know what is better than door mimics platform mimics

21:13 Now that you've said it, live performance or a collab with ZeroLenny is in order 🤣🤣🤣

A Corrupt playthrough would be fantastic, yes.

I was honestly hoping for a helldiver's video, but you know you can't rush democracy

Great video and I might actually check out arustys retirement. Not a big fan of metroidvanias myself so at there is a game from them I can enjoy!

A new game! Majestic!

Now we just need the one shot video ;p

lemon man playing with robot not bombs? aight im in

yup (I'm going to enjoy this greatly)
