Casey Scheld's Reviews
Up Left Out has got an interesting proof of concept, but the spartan stylings and lack of content hurt its long term replayability. This is a simple game, one that is good for a single playthrough and nothing more.
Wheelchair Simulator has got a good heart, but it is simply too frustrating to play. Those looking for a touching story can find it here, but don't be surprised if you want to smash your monitor in frustration before it is over.
MochiMochi's one button setup and sugary sweet presentation hides some serious challenge. Those willing to cut their teeth will enjoy a physics-based platformer that can "hang" with the greats.
Squirgle's complex nature makes for a high barrier of entry that practically eliminates any sort of mainstream appeal. As a result, it simply does not have the lasting power of other puzzlers on the market today.
Dare Course's broken physics and bad camera deserve a big red ball to the head. Traversing its obstacle courses proves to be a royal pain and is, put simply, no laughing matter.
Hinedere's retro-inspired presentation can't be beat, but both the story and the gameplay could use some fine tuning. There is a unique experience to be found here, but the lack of focus and the awkward parkour will alienate a number of players.
Guilty Summer Kiss 2 – Bloody Secret will leave players confused, frustrated, and out seven dollars. It's a poor excuse of a visual novel, lacking in everything from story to art.
Jack B. Nimble is far from the deepest game around, but what is here is fun in short bursts. Though it may lack variety, it is still an entertaining romp for those looking to whip their way to a high score.
Music Racer has got an interesting premise, but the execution is somewhat lacking. Its generated setups could use some fine tuning, and the layout of each stage is detrimental to high level play.
RoboVDino has got an interesting arcade-like feedback loop, but the development team could have done more to flesh it out. Its low price point makes it easy on the wallet, but its short list of levels and lack of complexity makes it feel more like a diversion than an addiction.
Radiant One's concept of dreams is an interesting one, but it is just not fleshed out enough. This is one title that is more of a snack than a full-fledged release, making it a hard sell for those looking for an immersive tale.
mr. Vegan is an exercise in patience. Collecting endless amounts of fruits and vegetables amidst a backdrop of nothing makes its levels stretch out to an eternity.
Death Fungeon channels the spirit of Super Meat Boy, throwing in a little stealth for good measure. This combo makes for an interesting, albeit short, experience that is a must for those looking for their next platforming quest.
SNK HEROINES: Tag Team Frenzy's quirky design choices ultimately take away from the game. It simply does not have the depth that put The King of Fighters on the map, and the reliance on Dream Finishers and items makes for an experience that feels disjointed and random.
Blade Strangers' unique approach to fisticuffs won't appeal to everyone, but those looking for something with both depth and accessibility will find it here. It might not be FGC-ready, but it manages to provide a good time for those with an open mind.
Super Hyperactive Ninja feels phoned in. Though the Hyperactive Mode is a novel concept, the execution leaves something to be desired.
Seek Etyliv's minimalistic stylings work greatly in the game's favor. Boiling everything down to a 3×3 grid does not take away from the challenge, and the aesthetics will keep you playing until every foe is vanquished and every puzzle is solved.
A number of questionable design decisions make InkSplosion far worse than it has any right to be. As it stands, this is one game solely for achievement hunters and nobody else.
The brick breaking mechanics of Highscore Processing Unit take some getting used to, but the robust leaderboard support and score-based gameplay will appeal to those looking to rise the ranks.
NEO NEO is a breath of fresh air in the twin stick shooter space. Warping is a game changer, and its pick up and play nature makes it easy to jump in anytime.
