Hero Hours Contract
I had fun playing this game. Just be aware that there are quite a few puzzles in here that are only solvable by using your character’s powers correctly. If you don’t understand how your characters powers' work by the time the tutorial ends, I would advise doing it over again because its important.

I mean, it is a simple quick and dirty strategy. Certainly has been a bit of fun for me- for totally unbiased reasons that have nothing to do whatsoever with the fact that this game was a Kickstarter and I am in it.
cough
In all honesty, I do wish it had done a bit more interesting things with the progression- had a couple more music tracks- but the game itself does what it sets out to do and does it well enough. If I was to add something, it’d be some form of progression in the form of buying “conditions” as well as time off and pay. Unions not only improve pay and give people time off, but they also fight for safer and better conditions. By doing that you could slowly implement an increasingly powerful set of weapons and abilities.

Jerma & Otto: The Curse of the Late Streamer
Before this game, my only real Jerma exposure was the dollhouse stream… so I’m writing this review from the POV of somebody that just wants a fun game. And I gotta say - I really feel like Curse of the Late Streamer delivers.
The puzzles are never overly challenging, and I say this as someone who generally sucks at point-and-clicks. Everything feels fair. And here’s my advice if you get stuck on a puzzle: just go do something else. There’s plenty to explore and work towards.
It is really really cool how much original art is in this game, too. Characters that are (presumably, again I am a newcomer) all drawn from Jerma lore? 3D environments that both evoke old-school game memories and feel like a real (virtual) space that this guy could live in? The dog is adorable?? Seriously, such an impressive amount of effort.

Baldi’s Basics Plus
There’s so much that I love about BB+.
The unique humor, the cruddy art style, the simplistic and satisfying gameplay, the replayability; it’s all great. I’ve been playing this game for quite some time now, and it still hasn’t lost its spark. It’s one of the only games you can replay over and over again, and not find yourself bored after the 20th time replaying.
This game offers a lot: It’s unpredictable, it’s capable of giving you an adrenaline rush that’ll last six hours, and it has a great community. I’ve always been a fan of strategy-based games, and I highly recommend that you buy the game. It’s only ten bucks. You’ll definitely find that the purchase was worth it.

In a sentence, this game is a procedurally-generated cat-and-mouse game where you must find all the necessary items in order to open the exit and escape to the next level, with a consistent style, multiple items, random events, and more.
Perks:
-Randomly Generated Levels which are very well-done with very little cheap dead-ends.
-Over 15+ items to use to defend yourself from Baldi.
-Random bell-ring events for unexpected challenge or reward the longer you stay in a level.
-All the old pros of the classic Baldi’s Basics return while refining the cons.

Progressbar95
I liked unlocking new operating systems, and overall, any game with a skin of Windows 95 on it, I like it.
That being said, I did notice some awkward wording that was carried over into the PC port.
“Select a right button to continue.” should read “Select the right button to continue.”
For Progress Defender with the Antivirus, it says “Database need to be updated.” Not only is this not a complete sentence, it has the plural form of need. You could put something along the lines of either, “The database needs to be updated” if you’re looking to complete the sentence, or “The malware database needs to be updated.”

It’s a nice, fun game if you like casual arcade-like action and nostalgia for graphical user interfaces. The goal is easy, but the game introduces enough obstacles and game modes to shake things up, allowing for a fun and challenging experience.
I will say, though, that it’s still transitioning from mobile to desktop. Some elements, such as the pinball, are still confined to a horizontal play area. Dragging the progress bar over a movable desktop item can immediately cause the cursor to drag the desktop item instead, even if the player doesn’t let go of the mouse. On a related note, the right mouse button doesn’t do anything in-game.

Hollywood Hero: Comeback
Hollywood Hero: Comeback is a sequel pixel platformer crafted in Gamemaker Studio. Released a mere 2 days after the original, it does contain a few changes, but not enough to redeem it as a memorable or satisfying experience.
Pros
✅Simple controls
✅Homing enemies are slower, and more fair than the first
✅20 levels (?)
✅Better pixel art assets, better stage placement & less unused space
✅Working achievements (broken was removed)
Cons
❌No level select. No save file. Progress will be lost if you exit the game

not that good
no settings control
– Real player with 2.0 hrs in game
This is genuinely one of the worst things I have ever played. The controls are terrible, which is just unforgivable because this is supposed to be a plat-former game - and made my entire play-through an absolute nightmare. To top this all off the game doesn’t even allow you change the key bindings. I didn’t even figure out that you can shoot until after playing for at least 30 minutes, when I got frustrated with the homing bats. I had to press random keys to figure out ENTER is for shooting.

A Twisted Tale
About the game
Discover a humouristic point and click adventure inspired by all the masterpieces which made us stick to our computers back in the day (and therefore we played outside way too infrequently). Full of loony characters, unexpected twists and challenging riddles.
Accompany Vio on her unintentional journey through various realms. Explore broken cities, pirate ships in the deepest jungle and other unreal places. Stand by her side when she makes the acquaintance of the (depressive) Death and engage with lots of explicit and ambiguous references, hommages and imitations of the big classics past (and not quite past) times.
We are a bit vintage - therefore we draw our background art the old-fashioned way with paper, pencil and ink. Colorizing is done digitally - this way we leave less colorful smudges on our desks.
