Champions of Breakfast is a very boring copy-and-paste schmup. You could copy it entirely by following a tutorial, and you'll probably make it twice as fast and twice as good.
Heartbound uses almost exclusively the most tedious of RPG tropes for its gameplay. It doesn't have random encounters or combat growth, so it's more like a walking simulator with a combat minigame. Worse yet, the story has zero emotional challenge whatsoever. Every text box is utterly milquetoast, bland, forgettable.
Heartbound really tells a lot about him. Jason is incapable of writing emotional challenge because he is utterly terrified of the very prospect of his ego being challenged at all. What a specimen.
