A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Ziggy The Chaser is exactly Pacman gameplay only with a generic elephant as the protagonist. Instead of a top-down 2D perspective, the 3D environment is actually difficult to navigate due to a camera angle that is too close and movement that isn’t tile based. It is easy to walk right by one of the collectable […]
A retro-style run-and-gun platformer, Golden Force thickly layers an old school vibe. The eye-catching pixel art is vividly colored and well animated while the steep challenge will have you screaming obscenities at your screen. Be warned, this downloadable title isn’t for those that give up easily. Playing as one of four characters, the player is […]
Four in the Row is Connect-4, the popular board game everyone has played, but with a twist. Instead of only having the ability to drop pieces from the top of the board, the player can drop pieces from any side. The goal is still to connect four pieces in a row but being able to […]
Ghostanoid is an Arkanoid/Breakout clone with a ghost busting twist. Instead of clearing the screen of every brick, the goal is to hit each ghost enough times to make them disappear. Buff and debuffs are almost constantly thrown at the player and each ghost behaves a little differently. The builder ghost, for example, will replace […]
Originally released on Xbox One in late 2019, Ping Redux is Break-Out/Arkanoid clone but turned into a puzzle solving game. This Switch version is essentially the same game as the Xbox One version we covered but outfitted with the Switch’s HD rumble feature. Ping Redux isn’t about knocking all the bricks on a stage. Instead, […]
Released in early 2019, Warplanes: WW2 Dogfight was a pleasantly unexpected aerial fighter published by 7Levels and developed by Home Net Games. Warplanes: WWI Sky Aces is the sequel to this under appreciated eShop title and basically acts like DLC as opposed to a whole new game, for better or worse. Instead of flying WW2 […]
Fatal Fury: First Contact is the latest Neogeo Pocket Color (NGPC) fighting game to be ported to the Nintendo Switch eShop. Like The Last Blade: Beyond the Destiny, Gals’ Fighters, King of Fighters R-2, and Samurai Shodown! 2, Fatal Fury is a quality fighter and the same nifty housekeeping features found in the other releases […]
In collaboration with our development studio, Storybird Games, PixelHeart announced the release of a new license: Golden Force. It’s an explosive action/adventure platformer in which you can embody mercenaries fighting to eradicate the forces of evil for money. With the help of the 4 available anti-heroes, you will have to travel through all the worlds […]
Defentron is as simple as a tower defense game gets. The only gimmick it has is the neon 80s visual theme. Each stage is small, linear, and lacks any creativity. The enemy horde starts on one end, you place a few towers in the middle and prevent them from reaching the other end. Unfortunately, the […]
Tanuki Justice, published by PixelHeart (physical) and NoGravityGames (digital) and developed by Wonderboy Bobi, has run-and-gun Contra style gameplay with charming 8-bit visuals. It also has that old school challenge that demands practice in order to complete each stage. Although difficult, it is still beatable with some persistence. The tanukis are also pretty darn cute. […]
