Serious Sam's Bogus Detour is a surprisingly large shooter that takes the long-running arcade FPS and translates it perfectly into a new genre.
Tormentor X Punisher is loud, mean, occasionally unfair, intentionally ugly and thoroughly awesome.
While To the Top may be a bit short on polish its sense of movement is fantastic.
Randall should be better than this. It's got all the elements in place to be good but they just don't work right.
Despite all its issues I honestly enjoyed SmuggleCraft. The tracks are a bit lonely, the challenge level is fairly low even when a mission says Death Trap and the menus desperately need another round of polish, but the courses are beautiful and fun to fly through in their detailed, low-poly way.
By the end of Thumper, the speed is insane, the music wild and oppressive, and the feeling of just barely holding on to a beast that wants to send you flying so it can gnaw your bones is disturbingly strong.
Mages of Mystralia is an energetic and clever action-RPG, set in a vibrant and colorful land with a dark history.
Strafe falls short of greatness, but is definitely great fun.
Birthdays: The Beginning is a cute and clever world-builder where simple actions can have deep, complicated results.
Immortal Redneck is an absolutely fantastic FPS-roguelike.
While Voodoo Vince Remastered isn't a classic of the platforming genre, it's still very good.
Bullet Soul is a fairly basic arcade shooter that gets by with hyperactive energy and lots of pretty explosions.
When Slime-san works as intended, it's an incredibly clever platformer, filled with endless challenges that constantly come up with new riffs on its themes.
Graceful Explosion Machine is fantastic arcade action where being able to plan while forced into close-quarter shooting is the only way to survive.
Circles is a relaxing puzzle game that can still be surprisingly tricky, sometimes exasperatingly so. Making precise movements while taking the level's rotation into account and also keeping the speed up because the circles in the level grow larger the faster you move can take more than a few tries to get past, but those sections are the exception to the move laid-back nature of the rest of the game.
Flywrench is a deceptively simple challenge that requires nerves of steel and a vast reservoir of patience if you want to see everything it has to offer.
Poi is an affectionate love letter to the 3D platformer, filled with challenges and a good number of mini-games to liven up the adventure.
Smashbox Arena is a fantastic take on dodgeball, combining the classic playground activity with an arena FPS to make something fast enough for good competitive gaming while remaining appropriate for all ages.
Dungeon Souls is an action-packed roguelike featuring plenty of characters with a good variety of skills, all sorts of monsters to use those abilities on appearing in large numbers, and an upgrade path that keeps on climbing.
Arizona Sunshine is a decent take on the zombie shooter, hardly revolutionary, but using its tech to good effect.
