A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
The End is Deadly As a spiritual sequel to 2010’s Super Meat Boy, The End of Nigh is a tough-as-nails reflex platformer that is designed to kill you, make you curse every word in the book, and put a satisfactory smile on your face all at the same time. In short, if you liked Super […]
Now Switching Gravity VVVVVV is unquestionably a unique title for a game but do not let that distract you. This Commodore-64 inspired platformer is just as creative as its name. The gimmick behind VVVVVV is simple; tapping a face button causes the playable character to fall in the opposite direction instead of jumping. While it […]
Old Timey 3D Platformer Poi: Explorer Edition by PolyKid on Nintendo Switch is a love letter to the 3D platform genre of yesteryear, taking heavy inspiration from Super Mario 64 and Banjo Kazooie. By no means does Poi reinvent the wheel or even generate any unique gameplay elements but instead celebrates being a kid friendly, […]
Nicalis announced that the gravity-switching saga VVVVVV will release on the Nintendo eShop for digital download on November 17. It will carry a price of $9.99. In VVVVVV you play as Captain Viridian, brave commander of a spaceship whose crew members are accidentally teleported to random locations in an unknown dimension. While exploring the ship […]
Pankaput With beautiful hand drawn visuals and old school platforming gameplay, Pankapu is a slower paced traditional platformer that doesn’t really draw any excitement. Besides running and jumping from left to right, Pankapu is story driven. Told as a parent reading a storybook to a child, the narrative is whimsically told through cutscenes that are […]
If Chicken Wiggle Told You That the Sky Was Falling… It is easy to see that Chicken Wiggle is made by the developer that created Mutant Mudds and Xeodrifter thanks to the cutesy art and game design. Jools Watsham of Atooi, formerly of Renegade Kid, has put love and passion into this charming platformer and […]
Cat And Frog Created by Daisuke “Pixel” Amaya, best known for his work on Cave Story, Kero Blaster is a retro styled run and gunner that calls back to the 8-bit era. Now available on PS4, ported from iOS and Steam, this action platformer is sorta Mega Man-ish but with some grinding and RPG leveling. […]
Turning Off Autocorrect At is heart, Typoman Revised is a word-based puzzle platformer that is basically Limbo but with the addition of word puzzles. Originally released on PC and the Wii U eShop, Typoman is now available on Xbox One and PS4 with the “Revised” tag embedded in the official name. Set in a dark […]
Rosenkreuzstilette has to be one the most difficult/confusing to pronounce video game titles of all time. Other than this fact, we didn’t really know what to expect when we booted up this game for the stream. As it turns out, this is a Mega Man clone through and through. And when we say this is […]
Glitches and Loading It is easy to see that Ginger: Beyond the Crystal was inspired by great 3D platformers such as Super Mario 64, the N64 Banjo titles, and even early Spyro the Dragon games but fails on almost every mark. Imagine if a Smurf and a Snork, cartoons from the early 80s, had a […]
