Ratalaika Games and Shinyuden recently re-released Aero the Acrobat and Aero the Acrobat 2 on modern platformers. Rounding out this obscure trilogy is the re-release of Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel who was an antagonist in the Aero titles. However, playing as the bad guy results in the most polished and playable of the three titles. […]
Available on Switch and Steam by Nakana.io and Oeh Interactive, Ahro is a 2D side-scrolling adventure with a message. Containing a similar level of emotion found in Journey of the Broken Circle, Lydia, and Infini, other Nakana releases, Ahro is bigger than the sum of its parts. The simple Microsoft Paint-like visual style and barely-there […]
Damikira is a chaotic action platformer geared around dark humor and bloody violence. The fluid pixel art is never anything overly gross and not super impressive but it definitely has a morbid sense of personality to match its ājust one more runā gameplay. As it turns out, human DNA has been crossed with crazy animal […]
Published by Ratalaika Games, They Came From The Sky 2 is a fun, score based 2D side scrolling action game that reminds me of arcade classic Rampage only with aliens instead of giant monsters. Playing as an alien in a side shuffling walker, it is your job to kill, abduct, and destroy as many humans […]
Published by RedDeer.Games, Dros is an adventurous platformer mainly based around environmental puzzle solving. The gameplay gimmick comes from controlling two unique characters at once. Captain, a knight that can swing a sword but cannot jump, and a Dros, a blob of black goo that can double jump but cannot attack. Together, they make an […]
When Carbonated Games and Microsoft Game Studio launched Uno in 2006 on the Xbox 360 as a part of the Xbox Live Arcade, it was a big deal and welcomed by players and critics. In 2016, Ubisoft and Mattle revamped the digital Uno experience, slowly adding DLC packs over the years. Here in 2024, Uno […]
Leo the Firefighter Cat is an adorable semi-open world firefighting simulator. It is a 3rd person shooter only the player uses a firehose and an ax, as a cat, to put out fires. Think Paw Patrol but with cats, more fire, and even vehicles. Unfortunately, this game is unplayable because there is no option to […]
Developed by a small indie team, Aidan in Danger is a straightforward, retro-style action platformer based around simplicity. It only costs a few bucks and all the Achievements can be unlocked within twenty minutes, making it seem like this is an EastAsiaSoft published release, but there isnāt anything necessarily wrong with this title. It is […]
Flynn’s Arcade, the publishers of the wonderful cult favorite Donut Dodo, released their latest new, retro arcade banger on Switch, Cash Cow DX. Like their other arcade releases, if you slapped this game into an arcade cabinet, you would think that you were transported to a late 80ās dingy smoke-filled arcade. Simple put, Cash Cow […]
A puzzle platforming adventure game set in a war-ravaged diesel punk world, The Last Shot reminds me of games like Limbo and Out Of This World only with less gruesome deaths. Even though you play as an engineer that looks like a background character on the Simpsons, the diesel punk visual setting is really the […]
