Kakatte Koi Yo!
Captures cute and fun, whimsy with a competitive spirit. It’s great as a party game, but with a slight learning curve.
I love the art and the music is great! And while it seems like a simple concept, some levels feature some creatively ingenious designs.
This is definitely staying in my party game rotation

Pix the Cat
Operating on the same basic mechanics, Pix the Cat features multiple modes that could probably be presented as separate little games instead. The arguable showcase is the Pac-Man reminiscent Arcade. There are multiple similarities to the relatively recent Pac-Man Championship Editions in particular, with the whole game being on a timer, a rising speed meter and presenting a series of little boards for you to clear. And let’s not forget Championship Edition DX had those little ghosts following you in a snake-like fashion.

This game is like some bizarro version of Pac Man Championship Edition DX+, requiring many of the same skills. It’s also much harder.
The goal of each board is to grab all the eggs, then walk over every circle. A chick will hatch out of every egg you touch and start following you, forcing you to play Snake until you can drop them onto the circles and get rid of them. For maximum points, you need to pick up every egg on the board before stepping on a single circle, turning most boards into a tough pathfinding puzzle. The most creative idea at work here is the way you can take portals back to previous levels at any time, which is sometimes required for playing optimally.

Cheery Party
Cheery Party is an up to 4 players Party Game with lots of minigames with virtually infinite renewal, 4 game boards each with highly customizable rules, and several game modes!
REPLAYABILITY
Repetitiveness is a big issue with most party games, but not here!
Indeed, most of Cheery Party’s minigames are procedurally generated!
Many minigames also have several variants to stay fresh and enjoyable even after many playthroughs.
PARTY MODE
Take turns rolling physical dice to move through various game boards. Collect Kittysnacks and hire more than 20 different types of Kittykats to help you find as many Pawbadges as possible!
ROCKET MODE
If you only want to play minigames, then this mode is for you! This minigame-only mode lets you choose between 3 sub-modes: free-for-all, 2 versus 2, and 1 versus 3.
ACCESSIBILITY
Everyone, regardless of their age or skill, will have a great time playing Cheery Party! Most minigames are easy to play but hard to master and you can set different types of handicaps so that the best players don’t get an easy victory every time!
ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK
Cheery Party’s original soundtrack is both fun and catchy, and because replayability is very important, every minigame has its own unique music, so be ready for a lot of tracks!
NO DLC OR IN-GAME PURCHASE
Our game studio believes in a strict no-DLC policy. All playable content will always be included in all our games, any additional content will be done with free updates. Cheery Party contains hundreds of in-game rewards and unlockable bonuses, no string attached.

Wand Wars
Wand Wars is a really polished game, and probably the best party-game I’ve ever played.
While there’s a clear Lethal League feel to it, it’s clearly more accessible, because the game mechanics are so simple. The problem with Lethal League is that even though it’s an excellent game, it has that fighting game aspect that makes it very complex. You’ve got to learn safe zones, angles of shooting, bunts, with or without jumps, special moves, etc… and consequently, when you hit 50 hours of playtime, your friends will be no match for you anymore.

I love playing four player co-op games that are suitable for groups of varied skill level. This game manages brilliantly, another title with simple controls but surpisingly deep gameplay. Plus superb art and visual effects, stuff that makes the gameplay feel super satisfying when you land that sick off the wall double kill. In addition to the main mechanic of playing dodgeball with a big ball of magic you have power-ups and the ability to turn other players into chickens (take that Kyle). Lastly the game comes with a good selection of maps, each with its own unique twist. One map has fires you can light with your chicken spell, light them all and you summon a minion to help you; another features bubbles that you must break to get the powerups. All in all this is one of those games that will have all your friends asking when they can stop by and play again.

Domiverse
This brawler is frantic, chaotic and beautiful. The 8bit visuals are spot on during the fights and the characters are great. The overall gameplay is fantastic and it is at its best when played with other people. There is also an Arcade mode that reminds me a lot of the mode found in Smash Bros for the N64 and they made 2 extra characters unlocked through gameplay.
The battle system works in a one hit kill fashion, with every character posessing his own unique attacks and moving at different paces, while the enviroment counts on spikes, death traps, rolling boulders and the like to make everything more difficult. I’m enjoying it a lot, and believe it’s a worth investment of your money and time.

Had so much fun playing this with my wife and daughters! The simplicity and the roster of interesting characters, each with its unique feel, makes this one a winner

Coloring Book for Adults
For a free coloring book its not bad. You get three coloring packs (mandala, owls, dinos).
Issues:
The default pallet are weird color choices and not organized in any way.
The shaded pallet are off color for pure yellow and blue. They also include grayed versions of the chosen color instead of just a full light to dark range of the same hue.
The custom pallet:
a. The color chooser should go to to color already on the pallet not create a new swatch of an already present color; only adding if the color is not in the pallet already

I’d like to recommend this game, but it already seems abandoned and there are just too many little things I find annoying about it. (I only have the free images)
The “Standard Colors” palette are too random.
The “Shades Colors” are just not right. So many of the colors are either way too close or just the same color repeated, and they aren’t even shades of the same color.
I would seriously love just a simple color wheel or RGB input.
Why does the color picker tool automatically add the color to “My Palette”? I’d rather it just picked the color, so I could use it.

Tallowmere 2: Curse of the Kittens
THIS IS THE BEST. GAME. EVER. No hyperbole, no exaggeration, no lie. I would have said that for Developer Chris McFarland’s first Tallowmere, where I have over 1300 hours playing, by far the most of the nearly 2000 Games I own on Steam…but his Tallowmere 2 scratched every itch for a second game I didn’t even realize I itched for. Not only masterful, and a perfect improvement on the Original, IMHO, but you get to a point where you can play reflexively; eliminates stress, pain and any downfall while making for a challenging, exhilarating second outing. Pandemic? Tallowmere 2. Bonkers US Election? Tallowmere 2. Worst Year ever? Best Game ever. I’d gained 200 hours playing the Tallowmere 2 Demo, prior to the long-awaited E.A. Release Dec. 4th…and it STILL feels like new. I suppose it could be worse that the biggest shining, glowing Event of the Year is the release of a Game, rather than some personal accomplishment…but then…this Game really is THAT good! Too bad I couldn’t Nominate THIS game a week prior to its' release. IT’S. REALLY. THAT. GOOD. (UPDATE- NOV 2021- I DID NOMINATE THIS GAME FOR 2021 GAME OF THE YEAR!! So, I DID get my chance to Nominate what I STILL adamantly maintain is the BEST. GAME. EVER.!!!! My play-time since I wrote this review should speak for itself, too :) I hope y’all have found as much enjoyment with Tallowmere 2 as I have :) )

I’ve wrenched myself away from Tallowmere 2: Curse of the Kittens in order to proclaim it a bloody triumph. “Wrenched” is both completely honest & a total lie: I’d’ve played for another three hours straight with nary a pause for any reason – mind-blowing sex included – if I’d not been brutally murdered the second I thought, “I am now an unstoppable god.”
I’m already itching to duel katanas again, so I’ll make this as quick as I am in bed & hopefully return for a more thorough review at a later date. Suffice it (for now) to say that fans of clever quick roguelikes are in for a treat. Fans of beautiful pixel art are also in for a treat. Fans of violence & gore are similarly in for a chunky, oozing treat.
