A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Game and gadget reviews here.
Tap Wizard 2, published by Ultimate Games, is a passive auto-clicker, a genre that is growing in popularity. If you have not played an auto-clicker before, it is a game you kinda, sort of, not play. It plays itself. Even though it sounds strange, there is an addictive gameplay loop that offers casual, off-beat satisfaction […]
Published by EastAsiaSoft, Rivenaar’s Grove is also developed by the same developer as Skater’s Solstice. In fact, this five-dollar digital download is basically the same simple puzzle game as Skater’s Solstice expect it has a forest/farm visual theme instead of larger, icy winter layouts. I think both these games share the same one looping musical […]
Published as another low-cost downloadable title by EastAsiaSoft, Legend of Cyber Cowboy is a roguelite trying to be a Smash T.V. clone wrapped around a desert cowboy theme. Overall, its heart is in the right place, but the lack of variety and balance issues drastically holds back the fun factor. Playing as a cybernetic cowboy, […]
Published by RedDeer.Games, Maki Paw of Fury is a nostalgic tribute to retro beat’em ups. Covered in beautifully fluid pixel art, this brawler is unfortunately a one note lesson in repetition. Playing as a warrior fox, a friend gets kidnapped and it is your job to save her from the throngs of anthropomorphic bad guys. […]
Created by retro developer SEEP and published by Ratalaika Games, Ninja 1987 is an homage to classic action platformers of the 8-bit era. For a game that only costs a mere five bucks, it has its flaws but it is hard to complain about this 2-3 hour pleasurable, smile inducing quest. Outfitted with nothing more […]
The Taito Milestones collections combine ten Arcade Archives titles into one lower price compilation. Similar to the first two Milestones titles, Taito Milestones 3 features a smattering of excellently emulated arcade games. This compilation mostly focuses on action games but it isn’t without variety. The standout title has to be Bubble Bobble, the iconic co-op […]
Westild’s Law is another high quality, low-cost downloadable title published by Ratalaika Games. Designed around a western theme, this twin-stick shooter is addictive, polished, and fits firmly within Ratalaika’s quality library of pixel-based games. A town has been overtaken by bandits and it is your job to stop them, rescue hostages, and take down gunslinging […]
Super Spy Raccoon is another original retro-style low-cost arcade release published by Flynn’s Arcade. Unlike the fast-paced platforming of Cash Cow or the high action of Satryn DX, Super Spy Raccoon sort of plays as if classic Donkey Kong was a stealth game. Playing as a sneaky raccoon, the player’s only verbs are run […]
Created by KaleidoGames, Slam and Roll is essentially what happens when you mix Snow Bros. with Bubble Bobble wrapped around a casual sports theme. It is a fun, old-school arcade experience especially when played in local co-op. There are even small hints of classic Buster Bros. and Dig Dug in here too. Aliens have invaded […]
Published by EastAsiaSoft, Pretty Girls Pop Match is the next title in the long running Pretty Girls series only this time it a simple Match-3 Bejeweled-like clone. The gameplay is pick-up-and-playable but unfortunately there is some unfair stage design that holds back the entire experience. Using either the d-pad or analog stick as a mouse […]
