Scrap Galaxy

Scrap Galaxy

The first game from Catalope Games is just as great as it looks.

For starters, it’s absolutely gorgeous.

Fast paced action for 1-4 players as well as lots and lots of fun.

Recommended for anyone who likes party games, geometry wars or just indie games in general.

The camera is the biggest enemy in the game. It does and WILL pull you into asteroids, enemies, and bombs.

Muspell

Muspell

This is indeed early access. Only buy if it’s half price or you want to play through a very rudimentary Minecraft clone.

In just 20-30 minutes (using a controller):

  1. Can’t invert the Y-axis view - that makes it almost impossible for me to play.

  2. You can’t tell what anything is, there are no tooltips for things in your inventory and no indication of what you’re looking at.

  3. Basically I figured out how to dig up the ground but that was the only thing I could figure out how to do other than wander around (looking up when I meant to look down :) ).

Noah

Noah

Seeing the incoming dark clouds, some seek shelter and others build an ark. Step into the pre-apocalyptic world as Noah and lead the bravest project of ancient times! Gather the required resources to build a ship able to withstand the diversity of Earth’s fauna on its deck.

Don’t forget the dove though, without her the voyage might take forever!

The rainstorm is close, and after all, you must save at least a pair of each species.

Animals are just animals, and they can get quite unbearable… they spread around the world and don’t want to listen - bah, it might come to you carrying them around on your own back!

Once you’re done with that, don’t forget to pack the supplies. Otherwise… you know…

Problems with livestock and the race to beat the clock are not the only concerns you’ll face.

You’re just starting out with this praiseworthy quest and some wicked folks are already looking forward to your demise. Fight them without batting an eye - this time it doesn’t count as a sin!

If you think building the Ark is not something you’ll manage on your own, bring your friends along!

Together you’ll be able to wrap it all up much quicker, as well as make it easier to defend the floating zoo when a mass attack happens. No worries - there’s plenty of work to do even for four of you!

Ship construction and saving animal species are probably not the easiest activities, as well as being the captain during the final voyage. In the end, however, the rain will stop. Looking out for the land, you’ll realize you saved the world once again - and this time it all went without a single gunshot.

Few words about the game

Collider is a great, colorful arcade game with non-stop energetic gameplay, from the very beginning of it. You get to choose from one of 5 different game types, each with its own unique rules and variety of amazing music in background. Singleplayer is good and challenging as it’s quite hard to achieve good scores alone. Multiplayer however is epic and terribly addictive, I can’t wait for another opportunity to play with someone else, it’s just too good!

Floody

Floody

Cute hand painted visuals and a very interesting platform battle mechanic. This game is great to try out for a game night with a couple of friends! Basically you try to build up and try to keep your friends below where the encroaching waves kill those too slow. There’s multiple items you can get and use to change the platforms and hinder your opponents.

An in-game tutorial is lacking but you can just watch the 2nd video on the store page for a tutorial with some good tips for advance gameplay.

Guardians Of The Past

Great game, when you consider the stage its in! Wonderful Dev team who are always listening to ideas and issues, and quickly resolving them.

Real player with 10.1 hrs in game

It’s a great game to play when your friends are around, though you need to find enough controllers for everybody.

But when you have found these controllers, oh boy, fun guaranteed.

Sometimes you need to explain the game a little, and for me it’s lagging a bit now and then but otherwise a really fun game.

Tricky Towers

Tricky Towers

Very fun game if you have friends to play with, sadly a bit overpriced

Real player with 22.2 hrs in game

One of the best puzzle games on Steam, with lots of challenges to wrap your brain around in singleplayer, and fun times against friends in multiplayer. And it’s the kind of game where you can just spend hours trying to beat your record, failing, and then going “alright, just one more time”.

The biggest challenge present in all gamemodes is how to properly balance your tower once it becomes too tall, so I hope you have some good notions of physics at that point.

8/10, +1 if you don’t get angry by the “perfect fit” pieces not fitting perfectly.

Camped Out!

Camped Out!

Camped Out is a frenetic couch co-op game for friends and families where up to four players work together to set up camp before darkness falls.

Work together as a team to complete campsites and unlock further areas in the game world.

Each level is a race against the clock where players are required to build tents, construct a campfire, cook enough food and get into bed before darkness falls.

THE WORLD IS YOUR OYSTER

It’s a wide, bountiful world out there, teeming with all the natural resources you’ll need to complete your campsite.

There’s wood to be chopped, stone to be mined and fish to be caught - but don’t leave them lying around or they might disappear..

TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK

To set up your camp as efficiently as possible, you’ll need to work together.

Throw tools to a teammate in need, ferry resources to a blueprint someone else placed, duck out of the way to let a camper through; every little bit of synergy helps. And most importantly, communicate!

ROME WASN’T BUILT IN A DAY

..but your campsite must be built by nightfall!

Each camper’s backpack holds a tent pack, lantern, and some shared tools. There’s also a cooking pot to stew a succulent meal. You choose where to place your blueprints, so choose carefully!

MEET THE CAMPERS:

  • Quintana - Quintana is the Camp Leader at Roaring Pines Summer Camp. She is the eleven year old daughter of high achieving parents. Her mother, a respected surgeon and father, a psychiatrist. As the first born of two girls, Quintana feels a sense of responsibility to protect her little sister. She’s clever and curious and having achieved leadership status in Mensa for Kids, prefers the company of books to frivolous child’s play.

  • Covington - Covington is ten years old and lost his father when he was only five. Coming from a creative family, Covington’s father left him with music in his veins. Covington continues to teach himself to play guitar by watching online videos of his favorite bands. He loves excursions and field trips with his fellow Campers, as he feels a close bond with them and will often serenade them with melodic renditions of his favorite songs.

  • Saffron - Saffron is ten years old and the middle child of seven children. But with her ginger locks and eyes of blue and spirit to match her dazzling appearance she has no trouble standing out amongst the crowd. Living on the expanse of the farm with her six siblings, she is constantly seeking her next adventure and with a freckle to match each of her escapades, she’s unstoppable.

  • Rascal - Rascal is eleven years old and an only child who’s been misunderstood until he was diagnosed with ADHD. His parents had him join Roaring Pines Summer Camp when he was seven, and as his name suggests he has a tendency to create mischief between his peers. Rascal loves to build and will use any material available to bring his imagination and creations to life. Whether it be sailing through stormy seas on a raft made of driftwood or flying through space with meteorite precision, Rascal leaves those around him in the wake of his creative destruction.
