Mines of Volantis
3 hours disappeared; I’m not sure how. But now I need to sleep before work.
If you liked ‘Motherload’ for the zen mining; you’ll probably like this.

Ohhh this games takes me back to the time of Motherload. (the flash version, not the steam version)
I just love the ambiance and the music is very good!
Every time you go down it is the question of will I be back before my fuel runs out? Every dive is a hunt for riches that you don’t want to interrupt to get fuel, but you have to. And in time as well because else your haul will be lost forever!
Upgrading this makes it easier to get huge hauls. Content wise I think the price is a bit steep but the game is very fun to play nontheless.

Tribble Troubles
A Tribble in Trouble
It’s tough being a Tribble! You get caught on a ship doing what a Tribble does… eating all of their Quadrotriticale. And the Captain, in a fit of rage, beams you into the center of a nearby planet whose molten lava core is rising! It’s up to you to jump, climb and squish your way to safety as you face off against countless obstacles and treacherous enemies.
The Underground
Watch out for streams and pools of red hot lava! But also keep your eye out for Glommers that are ready to pounce on you whenever you get near.
The Canyon
Climb your way out of the underground and you reach the canyon. Now you’ll go up against ferocious sandworms with spikes! The only time you can attack them is when they’re turning. But be quick!
The Jungle
Next, you’ll reach the jungle. Things get tougher as you’ll have to watch out for poisonous vines, sharp toothed plant traps and alien apes that love nothing more than chasing and squishing Tribbles! The only way to stop an ape is to land on him when he’s briefly trapped in the toothy plant trap!
The Spaceship
Clear the jungle and you’ll be accidentally beamed back up to the ship that you started on. There you’ll find a crew that’s completely ready to greet you… with deadly phaser blasts!

DARK AROUND YOU
Not a bad game, with nice graphics and pleasant gameplay. Played for a couple of hours and it was worth it.

Dark Around You is yet another 2D retro pixel platformer polluting the Steam marketplace. This one has a telekinesis gimmick where you can drag things around with the mouse pointer to help you do the platforming.
While this was built in Unity, it doesn’t seem like an asset flip as there’s a bespoke story and some pretty uniquely done mechanics and visuals. Kudos to the developer for that.
They chose to use obsolete retro pixel “art” as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It’s unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. Resolution and controls are locked. There’s a really unpleasant screen filter/effect that makes the camera sway as you move around, it made me feel a bit queasy, and I couldn’t see any way to turn that off. These flaws push this game far below minimum acceptable standards for PC.

Target Runner
Terrible control system
Bugged, including losing your entire progress until you reboot multiple times to get it back eventually. One level just putting you back to the start seemingly randomly. Performing actions you didn’t click, and occasionally your character just leaps completely out of your visible area and cannot be controlled, forcing you to start again
The level design is mediocre, with any challenge coming from the mouse based control system that in no way is suited to purpose.
Even at less than a quid, avoid.

So 20 minutes into the game, I’ve spent 19 of the minutes on the fourth level. I have died 75 times so far, 74 of those on the fourth level. If you would like to sit here for an hour dying on the fourth level, this is a great game!

Очень хорошая и интересная игра, которую можно пройти достаточно быстро, тем самым она никогда не надоест. Игра безусловно заслуживает похвалы.

Top game in which you have to play as a monster. In the levels on your way there are various characters that you have to go through. The game is decent, I did not regret that I bought it. I advise everyone

Save The Astronaut
Such an amazing game from an unknown developer! The asking price should honestly be around atleast $5, $2 is a steal for this hidden gem! I really loved the NES vibes. The game is fast paced, rewarding, and challenging! I actually find myself coming back to it time and time again! If you’re reading this review you need to give this game a chance, it took me about 40 minutes to beat it! This is one of my all time favorite indie games, and i can’t wait for a sequel!

Being someone who knows the creator of this game, this was there 1st game ever made. And it’s a nice 1st game and it’s got that classic NES vibe if not possibly an older console or something along those lines. The game is a challenging & fast paced type of experience if you’re into a good challenge kinda game. I like how there’s no lives system, so you don’t have to worry about getting a game over all the time on difficult sections. The price is not high either with it just being a couple bucks. Without a doubt a nice little game to play if you’re feeling nostalgic for the good ol' days of gaming. I’m proud of my friend being able to create a fun little game to play, and i look forward to seeing where this game and he goes from here on out in the future. The only thing i will say that is a bit of a downer, not that it’s bad or anything is that. Since it’s made on the Unreal Engine, it can be very demanding for performance at times. So just a little heads up for those who have computers who might not be the strongest in the world. But overall though, i recommend this game for the classic vibe of the old school gamers who still love the classics

IN THE DARK
Solid jump mechanics. Solid combat. Solid art style, world design, sound design, “chill factor.” Nice and tight little metroidvania.
– Real player with 3.1 hrs in game
From what I can tell, you are a lone survivor of what appears to be a massacre of your people from another group of dark entities. Although I am only an hour into the game and cannot give you a great deal of information on the cast in its entirety, that I can say is there are plenty of interesting characters, both good and bad that you will come in counter with.
Levels/ Platforming
The platforming is unique for a couple of stand out reasons. The first is that what appears to be normal stairs to climb are actually just shadows or stairs in the background that you cannot climb. This makes the game interesting because if you make the wrong move you could jump or fall to your death and have to repeat that section of the game.

Path of Sacrifice
Very fun but too little content.
– Real player with 6.3 hrs in game
这个游戏强力推荐，本以为毫无难度，但我死了无数次，巨痛苦，总之这款游戏verygood，两个小时通关，现在正在打硬核难度，大家一定要买来玩玩。
并且我希望作者跟新一些dlc，新模式玩玩，要是能联机多好，希望作者继续创新。
Este juego se recomienda encarecidamente, no creo que sea difícil, pero he muerto un millón de veces, gran dolor, en resumen, este juego muy bueno, dos horas de despacho de aduanas, ahora está jugando duro difícil, todo el mundo debe comprar para jugar.
Y espero que el autor juegue con algunos nuevos DLC, nuevos modelos, si puede estar en línea, espero que el autor siga innovando.
This game is highly recommended. I thought it was no difficulty, but I died countless times and suffered a lot. In short, this game verygood has passed the customs in two hours. Now it is playing hard core difficulty. We must buy it to play.

Rat Prison
I got this game from a pack of keys, it is very bad. There is no goal is this game. You do the tasks and then you wait for 5 minutes until the day passes. The controls are super annoying, having to use the mouse, WASD and arrows. So in short: Do not buy this, I could honestly make a better game in 2 days.

Rat Prison is a 2D retro pixel side scrolling adventure game with an unusual premise and an unusual interface. You’re a guard in a dungeon and you have to juggle keeping the lights on, checking on the prisoners, and not being killed by rats.
It’s certainly an interesting premise for the game but the implementation is lacking. You have to use the mouse to play (well, just the mouse wheel, no other functions of the mouse do anything in the game, which is a bizarre and unfun decision), and the keyboard to move left and right. If that sounds like an awkward interface, well, it is.

Sightbringer
Game looks great but causes a memory stack overflow error in Windows 10 Ultimate x64. I know it’s not my gaming rig as have not seen an error like this since early XP. Will definetly try again later, If needed I can send the data to the developers of the crash. Otherwise a cool game, just needs polishing.
– Real player with 4.1 hrs in game
Short fun yet very rewarding platformer. Sightbringer has very nice dark gothic graphics and atmosphere with some odd feeling movement that some don’t seem to care for but imo i like it i can’t really explain why but it just feels right. Though the game is short with one level running at no more then a few min and a challenge level a little harder then the base game it feels more like a prologue to a much bigger game(which i would be up for) yet still worth your time.
