A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Pirates on Target is a puzzle game in which the player needs to place boxes on a tiled grid to adjust the trajectory of cannonballs. The goal is to place these pieces in such as way that they find their way to a pirate ship, sending it to the bottom of the sea. Basically a […]
A platformer obviously inspired by Super Meatboy, Colorful Boi is a low-cost and well-paced digital download that is also available on Switch. Playing as an inky colored blob, the goal is to simply reach the end of the stage. Of course, there are many hazards in the way, mostly buzzsaws, but the difficulty never reaches […]
Originally released in 1982 for Intellivision, Shark! Shark! has been reimagined by German headquartered BBH Entertainment for modern consoles and mobile. Although Shark! Shark! created the “eat fish smaller than you to grow bigger to eat bigger fish” gameplay, other games, like Feeding Frenzy, have come along and expanded this system with power-ups, new and […]
A 2D retro platformer, Betomis is another low-cost EastAsiaSoft title loaded with easy, big-point Achievements that hunters will want to note. Playing as a knight, it is your job to double jump your way through (mostly) single-screen stages that only take a few seconds to clear. Death comes easy but thanks to instant restarts and […]
8-Bit Legit, partners with Mega Cat Studios and Retrotainment Games, have released Project Blue, a new NES title now fully playable on Xbox, Switch and on a physical NES cartridge. Developed entirely by two people, this retro platformer is impressive just as it is fun. If you played Battle Kid, you’ll have an idea of […]
A brawler designed around humor featuring two satirical stooges, Slaps & Beans 2 is a simple, nonsensical co-op romp that offers straightforward, albeit repetitive, fun if you fumble your way around all the game breaking glitches. Nothing about the story makes any sense so there is no point in trying to explain it. Just know […]
Released less than a year ago, Ratalaika Games surprisingly re-released Cyber Citizen Shockman onto modern platforms, a forgotten PC Engine action platformer with an insanely high difficulty factor. Now its sequel has also been ported to modern consoles, outfitted with the same thoughtful quality of life features. Fully acknowledging the first title’s original steep difficulty […]
With a title that looks like a cat stepped on the keyboard, this 2D horizontal shooter has a bright art style, a ton of action, and a constantly leveling system. There is a lot to like although it isn’t perfect. Playing as an anime astronaut trying to retrieve stolen gems from aliens, it is your […]
Direct sequel to the original light bouncing puzzle game, Rayland 2 is more of the same but that isn’t a bad thing. The casual, go-at-your-own-pace gameplay is not overly challenging (you can always cheat with an online guide if you want) and it only takes a half hour to unlock all 1,000 gamerscore. Like the […]
From the publisher that gave us the lovely Donut Dodo, Flynn’s Arcade latest title is a departure from their new, retro arcade game roots. Instead, Sentry City is a linear action platformer run-and-gun with quality pixel visuals. Inspired by Blade Runner, this cyberpunk side-scroller is tough thanks to difficult enemy placement and particularly placed hazards. […]
