A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Published by EastAsiaSoft for $5, Hegzis is a low-stress hex-based puzzle game about placing hexagons on a grid. If a row of hexagons stretch from one end to the other, the formed line disappears so more pieces can be placed. The goal might be to place X amount of pieces, create a certain amount of […]
Smash Zombies is another budget title published by Elantri Games. Other than the easy Platinum, there is no reason to play this boring one-button game. Like a vertical shooter, a car automatically drives upwards at a 45-degree angle. Pressing a button pivots the car’s direction to the opposite angle and the goal is to run […]
Published by Elantri Games for a very low price on the Playstation Store, Balloon Jump is a one button mobile game with nothing to offer other than what is probably easiest Platinum Trophy on PSN. Essentially vertical Flappy Bird, the player uses one button to make a balloon jump vertically in pre-determined increments. Along the […]
Originally released years ago, Steredenn: Binary Stars bundles all extra content and gameplay improvements into one quality package. It is a tough but fair horizontal roguelite shmup that has plenty to offer including local co-op. This fluid shooter has one important element to highlight – it is actually beatable (when you put in some work). […]
CarGo! is more than a creative play-on-words. It is a frantic, single-screened action puzzle game best played with local co-op partners about hauling cargo, get it, car-go? As a quick comparison, CarGo! is almost like Overcooked, that multiplayer cooking game, but with cars. Instead of walking back and forth in a kitchen to pick up […]
Originally released in 1994 exclusively to arcade, Snow Bros. 2 is now available on Switch and PC as Snow Bros. 2 Special. The “Special” part of the name means it also includes a newly created Modern mode with numerous unlockable characters, extended boss fights, and online leaderboards. The $30 asking price is a bit much […]
Published by Sometimes You, Mortisomem is an adventure mystery horror game with PS1-ish style visuals. While it is never actually scary, the one-hour quest is rather interesting, different, and wished more games took this approach. Before going any further, it is important to note this is a first-person shooter without an option to invert the […]
Instead of being a new, retro arcade release designed around getting a high score, Flynn’s Arcade is making a pivot by publishing the addictive Skies Above, a leviathan defending simulator. The unique premise is newsworthy and thankfully the gameplay is there. This roguelite puts a stronger emphasis on story that directly blends into the gameplay, […]
Originally created for the Atari ST in 1987 and later ported to the original Gameboy, Bubble Ghost Remake has been fully remade and then some for this surprise 2025 release. Bubble Ghost is a forgotten, different, action-puzzle game based around reaction time and a large serving of trial-and-error. Honestly, I’ve been a fan of the […]
Dagger Froggy is the latest Survivors clone but with its own gimmick. Instead of constantly shooting within a massive environment, the playable frog can only toss one dagger in a straight line to defeat enemies. After the dagger is thrown, it is needs to be retrieved before it can be thrown again. At first, I […]
