A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
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 […]
A purposely outlandish physics-based platformer, Why Pizza? will scratch your head and test your patience. It isn’t a bad platformer, just one that is super weird. It is so strange it might be off-putting to some. Playing as a pizza delivery thing (humanoid but not human) and it is your job to reach the end […]
The Mooseman, now available on XSX and PS5 with visual enhancements over the original release, is a game that is much more focused on the narrative and overall experience than the actual gameplay. It is not bad, just different. Because this game is so far out there, it feels like a Nakana.io title when in […]
With the recent release of Beat Souls, it seems that music rhythm games are making a bit of a resurgence since the fad died from the overcrowded Guitar Hero and Rock Band days. Music Racer: Ultimate takes a slightly different approach by tasking players by driving over notes with a car but the end result […]
A single player first person puzzle game, Summertime Madness is a walking simulator and has similar gameplay to In Rays Of The Light, another Sometimes You published title. Without a UI or any direction on what to do, the landscape subtly guides the player on where to go next, creating a memorable experience. There is […]
