A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Taking the block breaking gameplay of classic Arkanoid and mixing it with the competitive matching mechanic of Bust-A-Move, Gematombe is a unique pick-up-and-play $15 downloadable title that is pleasantly surprising. Made by a small indie team and published by Ratalaika Games, this smashing take on block busting gameplay is simple, fun, but still has some […]
Developed by Naisu,Games, creators of Mokoko X, Volley Pals is a super simple take on classic Volleyball. While it lacks options and depth, the accessible fast-paced gameplay offers basic fun while it lasts from a low cost. Oh yeah, and it has super easy Achievements. You can unlock all 1,000 gamerscore in just a few […]
Don’t be distracted by the goofy name, Dogfight: A Sausage Bomber Story is a pleasant horizontal shooter that features 4 player local co-op in a world that references different types of food as a point of humor. From a fluid cartoony presentation, this shmup offers some straight-forward classic shooter gameplay. One button shoots, another launches […]
A budget horizontal shooter by EastAsiaSoft, Hyper-5 doesn’t exactly have the highest level of polish but can still provide some entertainment value if you can deal with the missteps. If you watch my initial stream embedded in this article, you’ll notice that I do not get very far. When the player first starts, the slowly […]
The inspiration behind Pirates Outlaws is easily referenced to 2017’s Slay The Spire. Honestly, the only difference is that BlitWorks’ title is based around pirates, the sea, and swashbuckling instead of venturing through dank dungeon-like towers using magic against fantasy monsters. Even though it is a direct Slay The Spire clone, I am okay with […]
Published by Ratalaika Games and developed by a small indie team, Gunman Tales is a brilliant action strategy game that mixes genres to staggering results. From an overhead perspective like classic Civilization, players control a cowboy hat cursor, each moving in alternating turns over short distances. If you move your cursor over a red action […]
Flynn’s Arcade, publisher of the quality retro throwback Donut Dodo, just released Papertris, a new puzzle game on Switch and it only costs five smackers. Misleadingly, Papertris doesn’t have anything in common in Tetris other than being a puzzle game. Instead, this one or two-player game plays much more like Columns since a column of […]
For the first time since 1996, Cannon Dancer, a forgotten arcade action platformer, has been given new life on Xbox, PS4/5, and Switch thanks to ININ Games. If the similarities remind you of Strider, Kouichi Yotsui, Cannon Dancer’s designer, also worked on Strider. Both games feature high action and a playable character that acts with […]
Playing as the sole survivor on a stranded spaceship, Steel Defier tasks the player to collect a bunch of randomly spawning data discs in each room before the room itself kills you. It is a twitch platformer in which the player is squarely focused on defense; there are no offensive capabilities. Watch my stream embedded […]
Originally released for smartphones, FurryFury: Smash & Roll is a top-down flicking bump brawler. It might sound a little strange, but the gameplay is rather creative and reminds me a lot of Squid’s Odyssey. You know how in pool/billiards where you have to knock the cue ball into other balls and ricochet them into pockets? […]
