Popotinho’s Adventures is a indie platformer that fits firmly within EastAsiaSoft’s library of small, low-cost titles. While there isn’t much depth and is as straightforward as they come, this 30-minute quest is easy going and a tasteless way to boost your Gamerscore. Oddly, the plot is entirely based around child neglect. Popotinho’s parents purposely left […]

Runny Bunny (XSX) ReviewRunny Bunny is another short-burst, simple, approachable, low-cost EastAsiaSoft published title. It is basically a Sokoban-lite(ish) in which you need to move in the four main directions to collect all the pellets and reach the goal while avoiding hazards. Instead of pushing blocks to solve puzzles, you need to move yourself before a trap gets […]

Rivenaar’s Grove (XSX) ReviewPublished by EastAsiaSoft, Rivenaar’s Grove is also developed by the same developer as Skater’s Solstice. In fact, this five-dollar digital download is basically the same simple puzzle game as Skater’s Solstice expect it has a forest/farm visual theme instead of larger, icy winter layouts. I think both these games share the same one looping musical […]

Legend of Cyber Cowboy (XSX) ReviewPublished as another low-cost downloadable title by EastAsiaSoft, Legend of Cyber Cowboy is a roguelite trying to be a Smash T.V. clone wrapped around a desert cowboy theme. Overall, its heart is in the right place, but the lack of variety and balance issues drastically holds back the fun factor. Playing as a cybernetic cowboy, […]

Pretty Girls Pop Match (PS5) ReviewPublished by EastAsiaSoft, Pretty Girls Pop Match is the next title in the long running Pretty Girls series only this time it a simple Match-3 Bejeweled-like clone. The gameplay is pick-up-and-playable but unfortunately there is some unfair stage design that holds back the entire experience. Using either the d-pad or analog stick as a mouse […]

Spellagis (XSX) ReviewSpellagis the next survival shooter by EastAsiaSoft. Taking place in a simple rectangle arena, the player can unlock numerous characters with slightly different abilities along the way. The easiest way to summarize this game is pleasant Vampire Survivors-lite except it is wave-based. The first wave only lasts a few seconds, adding time until all 15 […]

O.W.L. Projekt (XSX) ReviewPublished by EastAsiaSoft, O.W.L. Projekt is an environmental isometric puzzle game about manipulating blocks to reach the exit. As a comparison, it is sort of like Captain Toad Treasure Tracker only without the same level of camera control, depth, and fun. The player does not directly control the little wizard guy. Instead, the player controls […]

Skater’s Solstice (XSX) ReviewSkater’s Solstice is exactly the same game as Shivering Stone right down to the visuals, gameplay, and soundtrack. Created by the same small team, the reused assets and gameplay only has one difference. In Shivering Stone, the player pushed blocks. In Skater’s Solstice, you are the essentially the block, portrayed as a kid on skates, […]

Moe Waifu H-Blockblast (PS5) ReviewMoe Waifu H-Blockblast is another low-cost, simple Arkanoid clone published by EastAsiaSoft. Other than the easy Platinum, there isn’t much staying power coming from this single player Pong arcade-style game. Controlling the movement of the paddle at the bottom, the goal is to reflect a bouncing ball to destroy all the bricks from a single […]

Purpose 1951 (XSX) ReviewPublished by EastAsiaSoft, Purpose 1951 is the exact definition of a “walking simulator.” Without combat, interactivity, or a way to lose, the player simply uses the left stick to move at one slow unchangeable pace and the right stick to adjust viewing angle. Unfortunately, the uneventful, one-note experience leaves much to be desired. Apparently, this […]
