Arc Apellago

Arc Apellago

I have gone through this game 3 times so far (twice by myself and another one by watching a friend experience it after I recommended it). It is a short project but what is here signals the beginning of something great. The developers have another game under their belt that released prior to this (DeltaBlade 2700, it’s pretty good) but in comparison Arc Apellago is very much the first note you hear on a music piece.

You can go back in the history of every game developer and by experiencing their list of gaming projects, sooner or later you stumble upon one of them where you feel like something clicked, like this was the true origin of everything else that came afterwards. That’s how this game feels to me. It is not complex, if anything it takes one concept and executes it really well, one can surely compare it to the things you would discover during the golden era of Flash games.

This game has beautiful visuals, a great soundtrack and very fun game play. Handshake Firm is an extremely talented group of developers and I hope they make another game like this but with more devs and a higher budget. Easily one of the best F2P side-scroller games on Steam. My only qualm with this game is that it’s extremely short. If you want to play something new and finish the game fast, this game is for you. These people have great potential and I’m hopeful for something longer in the future.

Gurney to Gurney

The game has 100 levels, 10 levels per area and 8 different units you can buy. Units can be unlocked by completing levels, the first is unlocked by completing level 2, and the last completing level 24. The game has two currencies, the first being gold which you get by killing enemies and is used to upgrade units, the second which looks like magical powder is used while playing levels, each level has a fixed amount of this currency so there is some strategy involved in completing the later levels, unless you max out all units in which case the game becomes very easy.

Urizen Frosty Plus The New Warriors

Urizen Frosty Plus The New Warriors

Lucky me gets to write the first review for Urizen Frosty Plus The New Warriors. This expressive word salad of a title is certainly interesting, but unfortunately more effort was put into the title than the actual game. This is a 2D retro pixel platform brawler where you take your choice of retro pixel “warrior” and bash up various undeads and ghosts and things through traditional 2D retro platformer hack and slash kind of stuff.

This game was launched almost 3 months ago and has zero reviews. So kudos to the developer for not using fake/compromised accounts to write fake positive reviews. I see that a lot, it’s bad. In a similar vein, while this was slapped together with the godawful abomination and insult to all that is good and right in gaming, GameMaker Studio, it’s not a template flip, that I can see. The vast majority of GMS games on Steam are simply copy+pastes of tutorials, demos and templates. It really seems they made a genuine attempt at a video game here (with 54 different sprites to choose from and 69 levels, apparently), they just didn’t really know how to or have the budget to hire proper developers. A+ for effort, though.
