Cashtronauts

Cashtronauts

A compulsive twin stick asteroid-mining rogue-like set in procedurally generated space with a brilliant “risk” system where at the start of the game, you can choose to enable any or all of 10 different scenarios to make the game more difficult in return for a higher percentage of profit.

One risk makes your armour weak so only one hit can be taken. Another adds gold to some asteroids but also adds competition in the form of big mining ships.

The game eases you in gently, the 10 risks are unlocked as you play, letting you add more challenge as you get more confident.

TLDR: Twinstick instance based freelancer. Fun but beatable in one sitting. Needs patching but dev abandonned due to contract with a new studio. Limited content. Grindy.

This is a one small map containing a few central hotspots. A police station spawning police cars, a fuel and ammo station and a mining station to sell ore. You go out and find cash lying around, get ore, and kill pirates to sell bounty items at the police station. You die respawn and as you unlock more things the world gets more populated.

Vertiginous Golf

Vertiginous Golf

This game is really pretty cool. It’s a minigolf game with a really cool fantasy-esque atmosphere and neat little contraptions all over. You build up power with swings and can use either a rewind button or a little jet thingie on your ball to move it slightly where you want. At first it seems like rewind is incredibly OP but the game gets fairly challenging and fairly fast. To the point it might even get a bit frustrating to some people. Luckily I was playing it with my girlfriend so I did honestly have a good time watch us both screw up a few times. The game’s got pretty good graphics and a neat art style and is surprisingly not too computer intensive too.

The Good

Vertignious Golf is a gorgeous game, both conceptually and stylistically. The game controls aren’t difficult to grasp, the music and sounds are well designed, and the interface is nice and clean, not interfering with the graphics – did I mention they were gorgeous? Oh, yes, I did.

The hummingbird and rewind features are welcome additions to the basic gameplay of minigolf. In fact, given the complexity of some of the holes, they’re requirements. The availability of a wedge in addition to a putter is welcome, adding a level of strategy absent in other minigolf games.

Monopolist: Technological Revolution

Monopolist: Technological Revolution

It’s a bad clone of Monopoy with poor camera controls and occasionally poor English.

Poor imitation of the Monopoly game.

The entire board was only 3/4 visible to the player.

REMEMBER to Press:

  1. Ctrl F or

  2. Ctrl C

  3. It will allow you to follow the characters as they move along the board.

  4. You can toggle between the macro picture of the entire board and micro picture of where you car is at.

Without doing 1 Or 2, you got zero chance of playing the game as you are flying blind on the board via the default display.

During the play:

I can’t feel the satisfaction of earning Income or Rent from my properties.

Potion Party

Potion Party

I received this game as a birthday gitf. My friends and I have agreed not to buy multiplayer/party games as a group, since our schedules rarely allow us to actually play something together. So, I left Potion Party on my wishlist, afraid to waste money on yet another game I wouldn’t get to play with anyone. I was actually quite happy to receive it, tho, and more so when I realized I could use the remote play together to invite others to play with me. I didn’t felt like burning my PC while playing with friends, so I’d say it’s quite fun. It’s challenging, but just enough not to cause frustration or annoyance when someone makes a mistake. You can also play it alone just fine, and some strategies work better when you’re by yourself or part of a duo instead of a quartet. It’s a great game and I’m very happy with it. 3

First of all, I absolutely adore this game.

The art is cute and it’s pretty fun to play. I spent hours playing it with my friends and had a blast.

That being said, I have an issue with the multiplayer in this game. This game is only couch co-op (meaning local) or is remote play. I had to do the remote play as all my friends that wanted to play were online, which made playing the game difficult. The game was extremely laggy for my friends and it made playing the game very challenging at times. VS mode is pointless to us, because it just lags too much for it to be fun.
