A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Although Journey of the Broken Circle has simple but compelling gameplay, a soft color palette that is always pleasing, and a memorable bitter-sweet emotional story, its main focus is on its message that is bigger than the sum of its parts. Even though the player is controlling a Pac-Man shaped circle through physics-based platforming challenges, […]
Originally released on Switch as OkunoKA, Ignition Publishing and Caracal Games are upgrading purchasers to OkunoKA Madness for free. This beat-the-clock tough-as-nails platformer is designed for speed runners who enjoy punishment, similar to Super Meat Boy, and like to optimize runs to shave that tenth of a second off the final time. Playing as a […]
Swords and Sandals: Spartacus is easily one of the best Ultimate Games published titles in their large library of console and PC releases. It is simple and straightforward but that is what makes this Nintendo Switch eShop digital download so great. It seems like every smaller, indie title released today is either a Metroidvania, a […]
Standing out thanks to its original Gameboy visual charm, Awesome Pea 2 is a simple platformer that offers moments of challenge, only costs a few bucks, and is perfect for Achievement hunters. It isn’t as difficult as something like Super Meatboy or those brutal levels in Super Mario Maker, but this reach-the-exit platformer is playable […]
As if playing a painting, Potata: fairy flower is a puzzle platformer that is filled with visual personality. Although the game has a distinct look, the puzzles are dastardly, the obstacles repeat, and the overall lack of direction is frustrating. Taking control of a young witch trying to find ingredients to heal her sick pet […]
Inspired by classic 2D puzzle platformers such as Solomon’s Key and Boulder Dash, Ghost Sweeper is an inexpensive Flash-style title built around navigating a single screen filled with traps, keys, and collectables.

Help Kuna save his buddy Tin and rebuild the Prime Orb in this charming and colorful 3D puzzle platformer from Brazilian developer Black River. Best friends Tin and Kuna are messing around […]
Avocuddle might be one of the strangest juxtapositions seen this console generation. On one hand, gameplay is Metroidvania-ish with a focus on exploring a number of large worlds filled with creatures that can be defeated using a number of different unlockable weapons. On the other hand is a stupidly silly plot, graphics that starkly contrast […]
Designed specifically for co-op play, ibb & obb is a $15 Nintendo Switch eShop download that is simple, quality fun. Using gravity and creative co-op platforming mechanics, this is the perfect game to play with your significant other or youngster. It is important to note this is strictly a 2-player experience; there is no single […]
Bucket Knight is one of the simplest games released in recent memory. Not to be confused with low quality, this jump-and-shoot 2D pixel-based platformer can be completed in about 30 minutes, only uses two buttons, and all 1000/1000 Achievements (or Trophies if playing on PS4 or Vita) can be easily earned through normal play. This […]
