A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Published by Sometimes You, Rabbit Raid is a small indie platformer that is a retro throwback to the 16-bit era. Its simple design not only feels like an early SNES game, but its pixelated visuals look like one too. The goal is to simply reach the end of the stage while collecting loads of fruit […]
Published by Sometimes You and developed by a small indie studio, Girlfriend from Hell is an environmental puzzle game based around trial and error. Its heart is in the right spot, but unfortunate design choices make it difficult to navigate. Boyfriend Haruto has been dating girlfriend Miya for years. Miya then got upset because Haruto […]
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 couldnāt 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 let the weirdly spelled name distract you. Cybertrash Statyx is an approachable, 90-minute 2D linear shooter with a simple presentation and straightforward gameplay.

Published by Sometimes You, Fusion Paradox is an action twin-stick roguelite with a gimmick. To defeat certain enemies, the playable characterās color needs to match. Colors can be cycled by tapping the color changing button but only increases this downloadable titleās biggest flaw ā 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 […]
