A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
A puzzle platforming adventure game set in a war-ravaged diesel punk world, The Last Shot reminds me of games like Limbo and Out Of This World only with less gruesome deaths. Even though you play as an engineer that looks like a background character on the Simpsons, the diesel punk visual setting is really the […]
Mangavania 2 is more of the same in comparison to the original. Presented in a delightful and easy to understand 1-bit visual style, this platformer is simple, lacks replay value, but offers low-cost approachable gameplay that can provide mild entertainment for an hour. Playing as some guy with a sword, gameplay couldn’t really be simpler. […]
Published by Sometimes You and created by the same developer as Catty & Batty: The Spirit Guide, Turn to Mine is an unexpectantly interesting, entertaining, and different type of puzzle game. Do not underestimate this game based on screenshots or even its gameplay trailer. The visuals are not impressive, but they do not need to […]
Released on PS4 and Switch, Farlands Journey is a Sometimes You published retro platformer. The 2D pixel art is quite colorful but gameplay is tediously repetitive. Playing as a young witch, the goal is to reach to the exit of each overly long stage. Although one button jumps and another attacks, there is a gimmick […]
Essentially a glorified Sokoban game, Knowledge Keeper offers plenty of single player puzzle solving for five bucks. Playing as a tiny robed wizard character thing that walks like he is in an early South Park episode, it is your jobs to flip switches, walk through teleporters, push boxes, avoid water/pits, change colors, and collect the […]
Do not let the weirdly spelled name distract you. Cybertrash Statyx is an approachable, 90-minute 2D linear shooter with a simple presentation and straightforward gameplay. It is straightforward all the way around but still carries enough entertainment value to justify the cost. It might look like a Contra clone, but it is slower paced and […]
Published by Sometimes You, Fusion Paradox is an action twin-stick roguelite with a gimmick. To defeat certain enemies, the playable character’s color needs to match. Colors can be cycled by tapping the color changing button but only increases this downloadable title’s biggest flaw – the unbalanced difficulty. Describing this game as hard is an understatement. […]
A 2-D fighting game, Boss Rush: Mythology pits you against numerous mythological creatures one at a time. Sort of like mini-Dark Souls, this marionette fighter is challenging, loose, yet slightly technical. You know how in the end of any retro Mega Man game the player is place into a hub screen and you enter a […]
Pnevmo-Capsula: Domiki is a literal on-rails puzzle game about controlling an electric toy train. It is unlike anything I’ve ever played so there is really nothing in which to compare. So what is this unique, experimental game? With no story, complete lack of background context, and no indication on what to do, the player can […]
Hillbilly Doomsday fits into the Sometimes You library of published titles. It features simple, approachable gameplay. It only costs a few bucks. And it focuses its entire approach around one gimmick, in this case, smacking the crap out of monsters with a wide shovel swing and watching the gory chunks fall everywhere. Despite the over-the-top […]
