School of the Dead: Anastasia
I don’t enjoy many shooter-type games. This one, however, caught my attention because of its bright, neon-ish appearance (yes, I’m the type of person who totally jumps for graphics). And probably because both the videos and screenshots looked kinda weird. I tend to like weird games.
School of the Dead is the story about a cute neon-pinky girl named - you would never guess… - Anastasia. She sits in class when suddenly a strange accident happens. In a short period of time the school is filled with hideous monsters. Anastasia must find her little brother and needs to get out before it’s too late.

Bouncing Hero
Disclaimer: My scores/reviews are almost always based on having bought the game at close to the “lowest historical price” on steam at time of purchase.
Quick score: 3/5
Things I disliked:
The game is pretty basic and repetitive. And visually never changes at all really.
There is no way to exit the game outside of alt f4
There is a “bug” with the challenge mode where if you last played story mode in “perfect” mode and then switch to challenge mode, you will still only have 1 life.
And the final stage almost made me refund the game out of rage.

Creekside Creep Invasion
This is a extremely fun action rogue-lite/rogue-like game with a 1980’s Halloween theme that has become one of my all time favorites. It has procedural generation (No two runs the same) with hidden and very difficult areas throughout the game. Ability to shoot in any direction with crazy cool Halloween themed ammo (like eggs,candy corn, and the ability to make all ammo explosive) that automatically changes to different ammo when current ammo is exhausted. You have gigantic bosses that drop gigantic loot. You have a 5 slot perk based armor that could give you good or bad effects. Controls work great on keyboard, which I play mainly.One of my favorite things beside all I have listed already is costumes.Yes….you get Halloween costumes that have active and passive abilities which make for some really fun runs. More are being added to the game frequently.I don’t want to give to much information that may spoil others fun away so, I will just say again the costumes really and I mean really change each run in a super fun way like no other rogue-lite/like has for me. All this plus an art style that has so many references and amusing through backs to the 80’s that you have to take time to thoroughly look on each level to catch every one of them to appreciate how cool it is.I keep seeing new things I missed run after run. Creekside Creep Invasion is a hidden gem so far that many more should discover.There is fun to be had for rogue-like veterans and anyone that enjoys a fun challenging game.To end it I’ll say another one of the awesome perks of the game and one of the most important in my opinion is a really nice, informative and accessible developer. It has been a real treat to interact with and get to know him.

I LOVE rogue-lites and rogue-likes, and the occasional twin stick shooter. This game sort of fits both shoes without leaning left or right to hard. This is a gem.
Character progression follows in a large number of unlockables which are rewarded for their corresponding coin or token, each has a upwards facing arrow but in different colors. Collecting these in numbers unlocks weapons, costumes and upgrades the Store - your spawn point and safe area found after each world/area.
The Costumes are basically your special weapon. By spending some of your Stamina you can use the special attacks.

Mazed and Bemused
Mazed and Bemused is a maze game, but it is also a puzzle game. Players direct an avatar through a series of mazes. Each maze differs in size, theme, and difficulty. As they maneuver the maze, players search for clues to a puzzle. Each puzzle goes along with the theme of the associated maze. Each puzzle also differs in type and complexity. The clues could lead to a four digit combination that will be needed to exit the maze. A few of the puzzles are easy, but some are down-right difficult. This game was meant to be both entertaining and challenging.
Another Perspective
Another Perspective is a very well crafted 2D puzzle game in which the protagonist - designed as an homage to Braid’s Tim: he kinda looks like him (having that BIG head that literally takes half his body), moves like him (thanks to Siha for noticing), and he even has Tim’s little insecurities that led him to be the self-inquiring little bloke Braid taught us to love in a game - acts like a message carried back and forth between the player and the developer. Wait, isn’t this the case with gaming in general? Maybe, but very few games are actually aware of it. This game is and the fact that its developers built it around these design philosophies already makes it a very clever little game.

Decent little puzzler/platformer that borrows heavily from two indie darlings, Braid and The Swapper , and features not so much a story as a stream-of-consciousness exploration of self in a “conversation” between the player and the creator of the game. It’s a bit challenging towards the end (I had to resort to watching a Youtube walkthrough for one of the puzzles) but for the most part not the kind of thing that’ll make you want to tear your hair out.

Wow…that was short….
Super Blue Boy Planet is a very short game about a typical hero rescuing his typical girlfriend/wife from a typical villain…who happens to be an alien race completely consisted of CommanderVideo. How short is this game? To be perfectly honest, less than half an hour. It took me 24 minutes from start to finish.
That said, it’s easy with few areas that require precise timing…and other areas where you can expect to die. Don’t let deaths discourage you, there’s normally no penalty for dying since enemies stay dead when you revive at a checkpoint. Do keep in mind that a boss will recover its entire health should you lose a single hitpoint.

Aborigenus
This review was brought to you on behalf of Abyssal Ascent Reviews in collaboration with its developer(s). If you liked it, please Follow the Curator and Join its group. Thanks!
Aborigenus is a short platformer about a warring tribe that has invaded your own sky tribe, taken people away, and you leave in pursuit of the warriors that left, overcoming obstacles and challenges on your way to find them. Your girlfriend is missing as well, and your main goal has been to set off in search of rescuing her, and trying to catch up with the rest of your own tribesman along the way.

This game doesn’t have nearly enough levels. It was over before I even figured out how to use all the features. I only discovered there was more than one magic skill after I was done by looking at the pictures and reviews here. And you only get to ride one single chicken. :-(
–-
After accidentally beating the game with just the spear, level 1 crow shot, and level 1 strength, I decided to play again and figure out the skills system. That’s the closest thing to making the game long enough to be satisfying. Anyway, it’s way easier to defeat the boss with some magic blasts than just using the spear. And if you really want to gain all the skills, it’s possible to grind next to a checkpoint, then kill yourself and repeat, because the enemies respawn when the checkpoint restores you.
