Circle of Sumo: Online Rumble!

Circle of Sumo: Online Rumble!

In short it’s really fun!

The controls are simple yet complex at the same time due to many strategies you can apply against your opponent/opponents. It reminds me a little bit of Mound and Blade multiplayer in that sense.

The game also has a simple yet imersing ranking system which adds to a competitive aspect to the game.

Also as a sidenote developers seem like really nice people from what I’ve seen on their discord.

A super-fun multiplayer game, easy to learn but more tactical than it seems at a first glance. E.g. positioning is crucial (especially in FFA) and sometimes you can get away with a win even not touching anyone :D

You know a multiplayer game is good when you can see different players employing different tactics in order to be the last wrestler standing.

BY ALL MEANS at least try the free version: even that ensures hours of fun!

Netcode looked solid to me. Animations are very good and the action is always clear to follow (albeith a bit chaotic in FFA).

Bludgeon

Bludgeon

Bludgeon is a death match between bird-riding warriors wielding flails. Evade the spikes and your enemies' weapons in your feeble attempt to survive and become victorious. Grab some controllers and some friends, and prepare to be bludgeoned!

Inspired by games like Joust, Towerfall, Super Smash Brothers, and Bomberman, Bludgeon is being built with love, knowing there are few things more fun and worthwhile than a room full of friends enjoying a good video game together.

Features:

  • Simple but polished gameplay, centered around use of the flail – swing it, block with it, and throw it!

  • A unique, sensible control scheme.

  • Risk/reward based gameplay:

    • If you have your weapon out, you can attack, but it hinders your movement.

    • You can throw your weapon, but that leaves you temporarily defenseless.

    • Keep your weapon out longer for a super-powerful charged attack!

  • Up to four players at once.

  • Several characters and stages to choose from.

  • Pain and death at the hands of your enemies – or, if you’re fortunate, sorrow and guilt as an undeserving survivor in an uncaring world.

Really fun, simple competitive game. I’ve played alone and with a friend and I could see this being incredibly fun with 3-4 people. It’s not easy but not unfair, you always know what you did wrong. The only complaint i would have is initially navigating the menu to start a game was a little confusing.

Ball 2D: Soccer Online

Ball 2D: Soccer Online

This is a nice game to play with friends. Its simplicity and physics are good, and the variety of modes is great. I feel like this game would get even better if it had BOT players, since not very many people play this. If BOTs could get added, I would really appriciate it. The same thing with Head Goal ; BOTs would make that game even better too. To others who are wondering whether or not you want to try this out, I recommend that you should, and to the developers, thank you, and keep up the good work!

Ball 2D: Soccer Online is a beautiful masterpiece.

It is a game that has shaped the world and our current existence in which we live in. Unusualsoft has done the impossible, and has created a new genre, a new GAME, that has taken the world in it’s hand, and saved it from the destruction of humanity. It has taken people with wide open arms, and showed them to true greatness, in which some people thought not possible. This game has shapen what we have come to expect from video games, and has set the bar so high for modern games, that nothing can keep up to it… except for maybe Ball 3D: Racing, Soccer & Sports. This game has changed my life, and i hope this game can be brought onto all current consoles and mobile devices.

Pull Ball

Nice and simple game to play once in a while while maybe doing something else or listening to music etc. Won’t use much resources, can nicely keep it running on the background. I like the windowed-mode which doesn’t take the whole screen, which in my opinion is not required for a game like this.

A fresh way to play a kind-of-a-golf-like-game. You can implement strategies on how to create the best score since the score is accumulated through gaining distance and wall bounces. With single shots you get 2x multiplier as well as with when you score the ball inside the inner hole. Because of this and the leaderboard, this has a nice competitive aspect to it.

As a 2D minigolf lover, this game was fun for a while. The idea of getting points by bouncing off the outer walls of a level is a fun mechanic that gives levels a lot of replayability as I try to get to the top of the leaderboard in each level by using 2 shots.

However, it seems the best strategy is often the same: just zig-zag as much as possible and then attempt to hit the center of the circle. Hitting walls actually increases the speed of the ball a tiny bit so you also get more distance by zig-zagging (which gives more points).

River City Melee Mach!!

River City Melee Mach!!

It mostly reuses the same engine from Super Sports Challenge, but instead of several events it’s all-out fighting with a few new features. While that means it isn’t the most ambitious game on the devs' part, it’s still more of the proven good gameplay. Lots of characters, moves, and unlockables. Each team has a different storyline, and semi-randomized opponents adds a LOT of replay value. On the downside of things, the keyboard layout shares the same flaws as Super Sports Challenge (U, J, O… and cannot be remapped) but at least the controls are responsive. Controller support also looks grim, but if you can circumvent this with JoyToKey (or something similar), this game is lots of fun!

At first I have given a negative feedback to this game considering how I loved the Kunio series soo much, because the ai in endless mod was not responding. The good news is there is a small change in that. Developers are active, and I appreciate that

Umihara Kawase BaZooKa!

Umihara Kawase BaZooKa!

“Area Battle Action & Crossover Characters! ヽ(=´▽'=)ノ”

[1] Intro

Umihara Kawase BaZooKa! This is an esports anime game produced by Studio Saizensen and published by SUCCESS Corp. As you may know, this publisher also developed a pretty well-made SRPG named the Rondo of Swords. The game characters are based on the Umihara Kawase series and publisher’s other games. The main character designer is Kondo Toshinobu, and this project has been carried on with the name of the protagonist girl called Umihara Kawase. The subtitle BaZooKa represents the core system in the game.

I love the Umihara Kawase series a lot, but I cannot in good faith recommend buying this at 30 dollars.

You can 100% the single-player content in less than 3 hours and I REALLY doubt you’ll be able to find anyone online, like, ever.

A reasonable price for this game would’ve been 10 bucks, at this price it’s pretty much dead on arrival.

As for the gameplay itself, it is nothing to write home about - what you see on the trailer is exactly what you get. The first three worlds of the singleplayer felt trivial, the fourth one can be pretty challenging. Did not get to try online, because there was no one on (shocking I know).

I would dare to say this is better than popular party games!

Always enjoyed playing Snake, first on my Nokia 8310, and then 3600 (remembered the model number for the latter, as I bizarrely included it in a sketch for my answering service message, but had to look up the former—N O S T A L G I A).

This game has everything you loved about those versions, enhanced by (optional) power-ups, local multiplayer (up to 6) and a plethora of modes and modifiers to keep things interesting. A couple of my fav. settings, should you care to try them, are “Pew Pew Tailless,” on “Super Fast” (second fastest) game speed, and “Tail Runner,” on “Slow.”

It’s a decent game, but with two major flaws at the moment.

1. Small community. You could be waiting an opponent for 10-15 minutes to no avail.

2. “Out of sync” bug in Custom mode. I tried to play with my friend two month ago. We managed to play one game out of three without the bug. Sure, there is some fun in playing two different games at once, but only the first time.

Though I doubt that anything can be done with the first problem in the near future, I hope the developers at least fix the second one. So the thumb up is not to the game at its current state, but to the game it might become if devs at least fix Custom mode and add AI mode.

So far pretty fun! Trying to counter your apponent makes the game pretty interesting. However, when my brother and I play against eachother on seperate PCs we sometimes get this problem where we are playing different games kind of. It’s like the game is not tracking our moves and displaying them correctly on the others PC. So, I will see my borthers moves one way that is contrary to how my brother actually moved his characters. Besides that great game!
