1.5 / 5.0 - Snow Horse
Aug 1, 2016

Snow Horse is a mildly amusing concept that could have been decent if it were developed beyond the idea of “let’s put a horse on a snowboard.

Super Duper Party Pooper! might not be pure excrement, but it is not necessarily much better. To contrast the game with an actual bowel movement, spending an extended period of time with either will cause one to feel hollow inside, as if a part of them is forever lost with that time that can never be recovered.

2.5 / 5.0 - A.W. Phoenix Festa
Aug 2, 2016

A.W.: Phoenix Festa attempts to combine an action RPG with a dating sim and is actually able to pull it off. It is a short game that can be completed in just a few hours, but it has some replay value since getting different partners for the Phoenix Festa or trying to date different women can offer a different experience the second time around. There is not a great deal of challenge to it but it is a cute game that can be casually enjoyed, provided one has thick enough skin to handle repeated rejection from digital young ladies.
