Tiny Biomes is a simple tile rotation puzzle game where you need to guide the flow of water to set end points. Unfortunately, the gameplay always feels like work and is never fun. Even with the three different biomes, aka backgrounds, the objective, approach, and presentation remain the same – hit the A button on […]

Heroes Battle Awakening is a firmly winking nod to Plants Vs Zombies as it follows its tower defense gameplay almost exactly yet simplified. Five lanes. Tile based. A new tower or enemy type is introduced at every stage. Comical tone. It is a budget, straightforward, tower defense title that mostly achieves its goals. This TD […]

Hextreme Void is a such a simple concept, it is a wonder why a game like this wasn’t released years ago. Mixing the brick breaking gameplay of Arkanoid with the leveling mechanics of a Survivors clone, this single player experience is entirely passive but still is oddly satisfying while it lasts. Other than selecting which […]

Published by EastAsiaSoft, Direction Quad is one of those short burst, trial-and-error type games where the goal is to reach the finish line. In other words, it is another simple, low-cost title that fits firmly into EAS’s extensive library. Direction Quad deserves some recognition for trying something different. From a top-down perspective, the player controls […]

Published by EastAsiaSoft for $5, Bomb Kitten follows the classic Bomberman formula but with more reaction-based puzzle solving as opposed to explosive action. Instead of playing as a colored bomber dropping round bombs to destroy barriers and enemies, Bomb Kitten has the player controlling cat who drops square bombs to destroy barriers and enemies. However, […]

Twilight Parade: Moonlit Mononoke is another low-cost digital download published by EastAsiaSoft. A horizontal shooter with multiple playable characters, this shmup might sound appealing on paper but the end result feels horribly unfinished. This cartoony shooter might be the most baffling game I’ve ever played. Nothing makes sense and nothing is explained to the player. […]

Published by EastAsiaSoft, Halloween 1985 is a new, retro-style arcade gem that hits all the right notes. From the simple-yet-challenging gameplay to the mid-80s pixel perfect presentation, this low-cost digital download is easy to recommend. Perfectly timed for the 2025 Halloween season, this low-file size game takes some inspiration from classic Donkey Kong as there […]

Kotenok is another low-cost ($5), simple platformer published by EastAsiaSoft. Other than easily adding 1,000 gamerscore to your Achievement total, Kotenok doesn’t offer much in terms of gameplay, depth, or replay value. Playing as a tiny kat, the goal is simple – make your way to the exit flagpole. Stages slightly grow in complexity over […]

Hot Stakes Casino – American Roulette is a simple but confounding roulette simulator. There isn’t much to it, and the game already assumes you know how to play, so the fun factor is just as limited as the replay value. Without tutorial, instruction, or any sort of guidance, the player is immediately thrown into the […]

The King of Ping Pong: MEGAMIX is basically the Punch-Out!! of table tennis. It is essentially a personality-filled fighting game designed around the player’s reaction time as opposed to being a ping pong simulator; this is no Rockstar Table Tennis. The steep difficulty will probably discourage some players but there is no denying the creative […]
