A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Game and gadget reviews here.
Developed by Brain Seal, Blow It Up is a blatant Angry Birds clone wrapped around a tightly designed over world map. There is a reason why Angry Birds has been so successful – it is a fun game, which means knock offs are inevitable. Playing as a little bomb avatar guy within a voxel-based world, […]
Published by Sometimes You, Rabbit Raid is a small indie platformer that is a retro throwback to the 16-bit era. Its simple design not only feels like an early SNES game, but its pixelated visuals look like one too. The goal is to simply reach the end of the stage while collecting loads of fruit […]
Released as a remake of the 1990 Amiga original, X-Out Resurfaced (pronounced “cross-out”) has been ported to modern consoles thanks to the efforts of ININ, Ziggurat, and Rainbow Arts. This horizontal shooter stands out for a few reasons. First is the setting. Instead of blasting through space or WWII themes, the deep-sea presentation is refreshing […]
Freddy Farmer is the latest new, retro arcade release by Flynn’s Arcade. Without question, this is Flynn’s most ambitious and deepest title to date, but it comes at an unfortunate cost (or could possibly be an oversight). Freddy is a simple farmer minding his own business when a dragon suddenly kidnaps his daughter. To get […]
Originally released on Wii in 2011 in PAL regions, Stunt Flyer has been ported to Switch via Ultimate Games. This budget release is bound to fly under the radar as a hidden gem. While there are definitely gameplay elements, it might be better to think of Stunt Flyer more of a digital toy. Taking control […]
Moe Waifu H Fantasy is the latest game by EastAsiaSoft in the Pretty Girls series and it is probably the worst. It will take less than an hour to unlock the Platinum but the juice isn’t worth the squeeze. H Fantasy is a simple but oddly designed rhythm game. As a quick comparison, think of […]
Released a year ago on Steam, Genome Guardian on Switch is a stationary roguelite turret shooter. The initial learning curve is high but that is due to the insane number of options, features, and unlockables. Despite being designed around a microscopic world, there sure is a lot to see, do, and shoot. When I first […]
Sequal to 2020’s Super Jagger Bomb, Super Jagger Bomb 2: Go East is more of the same and that isn’t a good thing. The annoyances that marred the original return, making this low-cost download feel more like a disappointing expansion pack versus a whole new game. Taking inspiration from Mighty Bomb Jack, Go East has […]
Published by Sometimes You and developed by a small indie studio, Girlfriend from Hell is an environmental puzzle game based around trial and error. Its heart is in the right spot, but unfortunate design choices make it difficult to navigate. Boyfriend Haruto has been dating girlfriend Miya for years. Miya then got upset because Haruto […]
Agent Fall, published by EastAsiaSoft, is a chibi run-and-gun action game that is straightforward, simple, and low-challenge but can produce a pleasant smile during its brief run time. In other words, this is another game that fits firmly within EastAsiaSoft’s library; a low-cost, short, casual digital download filled with easy Achievements. To quickly summarize, Agent […]
