Bouncy Chicken is sort of like Pong meets Billiards only with low production values and frustrating, not-that-much-fun gameplay. The goal is to shoot a chicken on a non-scrolling single screen stage to bump into all the pieces of corn on the board. The chicken can ricochet off walls and moving objects, essentially making the chicken […]

Clearly inspired by 1982’s Robotron: 2084, Satryn DX is Flynn Arcade’s newest, retro arcade-style release. Simply put, if classic Robotron was remade here in 2024, this would be the result. Retaining the same twin-stick controls, sequential level-based stages, and overall save-and-survive gameplay, this $7 digital download has everything that made Eugene Jarvis’ original a hit. […]

I’ve been saying it for years. To make just about any game instantly more fun, simply add a double jump or grapple hook. Rusted Moss firmly incorporates the latter and then some, establishing this as a well made Metroidvania about making the journey just as satisfying as reaching the destination and unlocking the new ability.

Published by EastAsiaSoft, Go Go Jump!!! is a simple timed-based boss gauntlet. Playing as Dylan the dog, the goal is to survive each boss’s jump trial to earn badges. The plot is comical and often breaks the fourth wall while the high res 2D visuals feel like playing a cartoon. Using only the analog stick […]

Playing as a mask wearing sentient robot, the narrative begins innocently. While casually venturing through some ancient ruins, a legendary sword claims you as its wielder, tasking you with being the savior of the land. Astor: Blade of the Monolith doesn’t waste any time and almost immediately throws the player into the quest, which is […]

Previously released on Switch and PC, Horizon Chase 2 is now available on Playstation and Xbox complete with crossplay. It isn’t deep racing gaming but still has some entertaining qualities despite being simple and modern. The main selling point of this sequel is all about the crazy cool sense of speed. It doesn’t have the […]

Doug’s Nightmare is an oddly creative but super repetitive $6 digital download. Playing as a banana with anxiety, gameplay takes place from a top-down perspective with twin-stick shooter controls. Think Smash T.V. but without fun, excitement, and purpose. Not that this twin stick shooter is without personality, it is just pointless. Why are you playing […]

Maximum Entertainment and Abiding Bridge released Sclash, an easy to play but difficult to master 2D samurai 1-v-1 fighting game. The gimmick revolves around tension and split-second decision making as each bout is loaded with drama as death comes from a single strike. Visually, the hand-drawn Japanese calligraphy art-style is impressive and carries weight. Instead […]

I’ve always wanted to link both the SNK and Capcom Version of Card Fighters’ Clash to Match of the Millennium on Neogeo Pocket Color. Unfortunately, I was rewarded with practically nothing for my efforts. However, perhaps I need to get further in the Card Fighter games to unlock more in MotM…
