A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
An unofficial spin-off of Tetris, Settris is a casual experience tasking the player to fill a tiled grid with Tetris pieces just like a jigsaw puzzle. It offers simple and stress-free gameplay as there is no timer or penalty for failure. There is no hint system but there is probably an online guide available by […]
The Traveler’s Path is a simple puzzle game about guiding a traveler to the exit by swapping and rotating tiled pieces on a single screen. It is essentially Pipe Dream but without the stress of ooze constantly flowing. Here, the player can take as much time as needed and the traveler will only walk across […]
Another single screen puzzle platformer published by EastAsiaSoft, Lily in Puzzle World is as casual and easy going as they come. The lack of challenge is great for Achievement hunters, as I was able to pop all 1,000 gamerscore in 20 minutes, but more serious players will be left feeling a little bored. The goal […]
Alpha Particle is a different type of game and deserves recognition for it. From a top-down perspective, each stage is a single-screen twitch, reaction-based puzzle. Playing as a spark of electricity, the player needs to power terminals, trapping enemy sparks along the way. While it might sound simple and creative, the overall approach and presentation […]
Ball laB II is a precision, single-screened platformer with a minimalist presentation. Don’t let the simple, non-animated stages fool you though, there is quite a challenge here. There is no environmental puzzle solving in this platforming sequel. Instead, gameplay is completely designed around twitch, precise jumps. Unlike the ridiculous set pieces found in something like […]
Excessive Trim is a randomly generated shooter without shooting. Instead of firing bullets, this is a slice’em up. Meaning, you play as a weed smoking alien in a flying saucer that has been outfitted with blades, killing anything in the path of the boosting dash attack. However, this slicing dash move is on a short […]
A $5 puzzle platformer published by EastAsiaSoft, Swapshot is an easy and casual way to boost your Gamerscore by 1,000 points in about 30 minutes. Each of the 35 hand designed stages are depicted within a single screen with the goal of moving through the exit. The gimmick comes in the form of a teleport […]
A vertical shooter published by EastAsiaSoft, RedRaptor has its heart in the right place, but a few inconveniences hold back the experience from making this a must-play. Thankfully, this is not a roguelike so stages will be the same each time. However, this is a shooter designed around the need to grind. With each attempt, […]
Alive Paint is a simple digital coloring book targeted more toward younger players, but Trophy hunters will definitely want to take note. If you watch my stream embedded in this article, I was able to snag the Platinum trophy in approximately ten minutes without any challenge; literally just button mash your way to unlocking all […]
Published by EastAsiaSoft, Diorama Dungeon – Master of the Living Castle reuses the same visual style, UI, sound effects, and overall gameplay from previously released retro-inspired titles such as Escape from Terror City, Thunder Kid, and Thunder Kid II. Unfortunately, it also carries the same flaws and annoyances. Instead of using a ranged attack like […]
