A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Sequel to Metagal, Metaloid Origins is a 2D classic run-and-gun action platformer that should please fans of 8 and 16-bit Mega Man titles. There are a total of three playable character, each sporting their own unique abilities which adds quality replay value. The story ultimately remains the same no matter which playable cat you choose […]
Blitz Breaker is the latest in the challenging 2D platforming genre and plays similarly to any of those titles you played before. However, there is one aspect that separates Blitz Breaker from most â the simplified control scheme. Although the player can perform a low hop by pressing the jump button, this is one platformer […]
A self-aware and fourth wall breaking side scrolling platformer, Paradox Error by EastAsiaSoft is a minimalistic meta experience. Not as difficult as Meat Boy but way weirder than Mario, this platformer is a low-cost, enjoyable experience if you are looking for something different. Essentially playing as a stick figure in a black and white world, […]
Rift Raccoon is a precision platformer about a raccoon that can teleport through traps and hazards but can also get hilariously stuck inside walls. While not as challenging as some other platformers in the âI hate youâ genre, it still carries a high challenge with some light puzzle solving. With a simple, short opening tutorial […]
Like a 90s mascot platformer, Stitchy in Tooki Trouble is a simple but ultimately forgettable single player sidescroller. With flavorless level design and a flawed scoring system, this âme tooâ platformer is easily overshadowed by the countless other titles on the Switch eShop. You play as Stitchy, a scarecrow on a quest to retrieve stolen […]
Developed by Pixel Games and published by Sometimes You, Sir Lovelot is a highly entertaining Meat Boy-like platformer that is never overly difficult. Instead of focusing on reaching the end of a brutally designed stage, the focus instead is placed a little more on exploration and collecting a couple key items all from a charming […]
Developed by Decemberborn and published by Elden Pixels of Alwaâs Awakening fame, Cathedral is an 8-bit Metroidvania that follows all the tropes of the genre. In the end, it isnât anything you have not seen before but that doesnât mean the journey isnât worth taking. Playing as a non-speaking knight on a quest to open […]
A retro-style run-and-gun platformer, Golden Force thickly layers an old school vibe. The eye-catching pixel art is vividly colored and well animated while the steep challenge will have you screaming obscenities at your screen. Be warned, this downloadable title isnât for those that give up easily. Playing as one of four characters, the player is […]
Originally released on Switch a couple years ago, Jet Kave Adventure is now available on Microsoftâs home console. Upon first glance, it might be easy to make the assumption this is a generic 90s 2.5D mascot platformer. Well, you would be right but gameplay is actually a lot better than expected. You play as a […]
Dead Dungeon is the latest Super Meat Boy clone, offering 50 single screen stages of challenging platforming. Although very simple in both presentation and gameplay (you only use the analog stick and the âAâ button to jump and double jump â there isnât even wall jumping), it requires skills to see the end. The objective […]
