Back in 2024, I uploaded a post where I made a chart of my favorite characters. Since then, I have had favorite characters come and go. Also, I just really wanted to remake this in general lol

um actually Love-de-Lic only ever made 3 games: Moon: Remix RPG Adventure, UFO: A Day in the Life and L.O.L.: Lack of Love which by the way had its soundtrack done by Ryuichi Sakamoto (das the guy who did The Last Emperor's soundtrack btw) Love-de-Lic basically is like the dandelion of gaming studios, it shut down and a ton of new studios with its employees sprouted up and they all started making games really similar in vibe and visuals, so its totes easy to lump them all together but no Skip Ltd. are the ones who made Chibi-Robo and Captain Rainbow and it was Vanpool who-

-modern day Onion Games which has released a few smaller titles but most recently of note is the spiritual successor to "Moon": Stray Children. Now how does this relate to Osamu Tezuka's magnum opus, Hi no Tori aka Phoenix? Well back in-

They do reference some elements from the Mario series in this game.
