Playing as a penguin armed with a squirt gun, it is your job to platform your way through each of the tiny levels to collect three keys, unlock the stage-ending treasure chest, and defeat simple bad guys along the way. It is a very simple, very basic, highly approachable action platformer that is perfect for […]
Not to be confused with Rickey Henderson of MLB fame, Rick Henderson is a 16-bit horizontal shooter now available on PC and all modern consoles for $7.99. It might have a strange name but the gameplay is rather familiar. The gimmick behind this shmup is the endless gameplay. Not a roguelite, the game just keeps […]
A simple 2D side-scrolling platformer, Dyna Bomb 2 is a straightforward experience. From the visual presentation to the overall platforming approach, everything is basic at best but can act as a great starter platformer for younger players. There are two gimmicks with Dyna Bomb 2. First is the collect-a-thon nature of the gameplay. Each stage […]
The latest game in this multi-game series, Pretty Girls Four Kings Solitaire puts a small spin on classic Solitaire gameplay but from the same overall UI and feature set than its previous titles. Despite what the title might suggestion, this is a very tame PS4 game. In fact, it can probably be rated PG if […]
Back Again is weird, indie, low-cost first-person platformer that offers a trippy, experimental experience. Listed at a budget-friendly price of $2.99, this hour-long campaign contains an easy Platinum for players that do not invert their Y-axis camera control. Honestly, Back Again is nearly unplayable for me as there is no option to invert the Y-axis. […]

A wholesome platforming adventure designed around casual play and undemanding skill, Kid Ball Adventure is sort of like Meat Boy only with a simple and nonviolent presentation.

A creative spin on classic golf rules and gameplay, Cursed to Golf places emphasis on story and precision gameplay. It is sort of trying to be mini golf with all the special abilities and trap-filled holes but demands the expertise of a skilled professional to reach the end. Playing as a golfer about to hit […]
A cinematic gameplay experience, Voyage isn’t about high-action, killing things, or saving the world. Instead, the player is treated to a single player or co-op two-hour narrative that feels like you are playing a watercolor painting. With no story, background, UI, or text, the player is just thrown into the game and left to figure […]
A bigger release by EastAsiaSoft, Sword & Fairy Together Forever is a Chinese action RPG that is mostly linear, straightforward, but still playable. Although the US has received limited releases in this long running series, it stands on it own. Starting the quest as a long sworded badass that can jump through the air with […]
