A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Described as an atmospheric fantasy adventure, Genie Reprise is an experimental game that is best experienced by niche, patient players. This walking simulator’s gimmick is also its biggest flaw – slowly presented rhyming poetry. The gameplay loop is simple and is barely interactive. From a first-person perspective, the player is dropped into a small environment […]
Dead End City is a vertical post-apocalyptic shooter that mixes the overall vibe of Mad Max with the enemy behaviors of Galaga/Galaxian but with some stage design of Gun.Smoke.

Following the same formula, overall presentation, and gameplay loop of the previous games in the Pretty Girls series, Pretty Girls Klondike Solitaire PLUS is classic solitaire only with a PG-rated anime girl in the bottom corner of the screen. You know that Microsoft Solitaire game that is installed on your computer? This game follows that […]
Dungeonoid 2 Awakening is a merging of genres. It takes classic Arkanoid gameplay but mixes it with a scrolling platformer.

Breakout and Arkanoid, for comparison, take place on a […]

A Vampires Survivors clone, Stickman’s Arena carries the same overall gameplay as the sweeping cult favorite but without the same level of polish and replay value. The main stick figure guy on the main menu also has Goku hair but isn’t depicted in-game for some reason. Playing as a stickman, it is your job to […]
