Another Pixel Pulp story is here, delivering very retro-styled graphics mixed with hardboiled narrative with some choices
While it may be deja vu all over again for some indie gamers, Jett Rider offers some decent and unique action
Though its presentation is humble, it makes effective use of sound and slow-burn tension to deliver some thrills
A side-scrolling beat-em-up / platformer with some retro flair, great moves, and some surprises
While loaded with tracks and variety in racing styles, this top-down racer can still be hard to love
While it has obviously been inspired by Star Fox in its overall design and play style, it’s also a bit short and is quirky at times
An unusual title that feels like it would be perfect for even younger gamers, but may be too hard for them to stick with
For once a game that somewhat picks up the Papers, Please torch has managed to do something cool with it
Even in a first-person perspective this retro dungeon-crawling adventure lacks excitement
Though its board game-esque aesthetic has some appeal, interface issues and uninspired play make it struggle
Despite some visual polish and flair, this upconverted classic fails to stand out in a crowded genre space
A somewhat more modern shooter with retro sensibilities but playing in widescreen instead of vertically
Adopts some very old-school adventure mechanics to go with its 8-bit look, which may not be for everyone
While it definitely exudes a creepy vibe, somewhat muddy “combat” and a lack of direction make it tough to enjoy
Though failing to break new ground in platforming adventure, the scenery and general feel work while it lasts
Breaking away from the more Zelda-esque adventure of the original to go roguelike feels like a smart move
As the title suggests, you’ll be able to work in the “exciting” world of rewiring and fixing things, with little direction
