Playing as a high schooler, it is your job to pummel your way through single screened areas in and around a school, punching the faces of everyone you see. While it is not as […]

Now available on PS4 bundled with the Over Power DLC, this is easily one of the best shmups on the console. It is also available on Switch. There is a lot of story here, especially for a shooter, and it […]

Instead of a monkey trap inside a ball like Sega’s popular Monkeyball franchise, Marble Maid features a creepily designed anime maid trapped inside an orb, tasked with touching literal dust “bunnies” in stages that remind of the pyramid from Q-bert. Platforming in a ball is never accurate since you are always rolling, hunting down these […]

Robo Wars is a very simple 2-player arena battler with lower production values but has a sense of progression that is more enjoyable than you would assume. It might look like a Flash game but try not to let that distract you too much. Playing as a generic robot, it is your job to defeat […]

A comical single-screened boss gauntlet horizontal shooter, Fingun provides stupid fun for the thirty minutes that it lasts. With most of the visuals made in MS Paint, the game never takes itself too seriously and unlocks a few mature images upon completion, a feature in most Gamuzumi games. Controlling a hand that shoots circle bullets […]
