A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
An unofficial spin-off of Tetris, Settris is a casual experience tasking the player to fill a tiled grid with Tetris pieces just like a jigsaw puzzle. It offers simple and stress-free gameplay as there is no timer or penalty for failure. There is no hint system but there is probably an online guide available by […]
The Traveler’s Path is a simple puzzle game about guiding a traveler to the exit by swapping and rotating tiled pieces on a single screen. It is essentially Pipe Dream but without the stress of ooze constantly flowing. Here, the player can take as much time as needed and the traveler will only walk across […]
Nacon’s wired Colorlight Xbox controller has a lot in common with Nacon’s Revolution X Camo unit. Both feature highly customizable options thanks to the intuitive companion app, are made of considerate build, and offer a decent alternative to the standard Microsoft design. The Colorlight separates itself by the wealth of color and LED light features […]
Another single screen puzzle platformer published by EastAsiaSoft, Lily in Puzzle World is as casual and easy going as they come. The lack of challenge is great for Achievement hunters, as I was able to pop all 1,000 gamerscore in 20 minutes, but more serious players will be left feeling a little bored. The goal […]
A stylized 2D Metroidvania with turn-based combat, Worldless offers a unique mix of strategy and platforming. Designed around a moody atmospheric world, there are plenty of secrets to find, enemies to absorb, and upgrades to unlock while venturing through this striking environment. While the story is a little obtuse (are play as a spark looking […]
Alpha Particle is a different type of game and deserves recognition for it. From a top-down perspective, each stage is a single-screen twitch, reaction-based puzzle. Playing as a spark of electricity, the player needs to power terminals, trapping enemy sparks along the way. While it might sound simple and creative, the overall approach and presentation […]
Ball laB II is a precision, single-screened platformer with a minimalist presentation. Don’t let the simple, non-animated stages fool you though, there is quite a challenge here. There is no environmental puzzle solving in this platforming sequel. Instead, gameplay is completely designed around twitch, precise jumps. Unlike the ridiculous set pieces found in something like […]
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. […]
Excessive Trim is a randomly generated shooter without shooting. Instead of firing bullets, this is a slice’em up. Meaning, you play as a weed smoking alien in a flying saucer that has been outfitted with blades, killing anything in the path of the boosting dash attack. However, this slicing dash move is on a short […]
A $5 puzzle platformer published by EastAsiaSoft, Swapshot is an easy and casual way to boost your Gamerscore by 1,000 points in about 30 minutes.
