Boomerang Fu
Boomerang Fu is, at first, a simple game. You’re a Fruit. I mean, excluding Eggplants. And Avocados. Ok, fine, it’s not a Fruit Game, but a Fruit/Vegetable/Grain/Drink/Ice Cream/Sushi/Bacon game. Each character oozes personality, some in a literal sense, others roll around a bit more.
Anyway, as the title says, it’s all about Boomerangs. You throw boomerangs, slash with boomerangs, catch your own boomerang, kick boomerangs out of peoples hands, turn into a box & get hit with a boomerang, etc. You’ve got 3 (4 technically) buttons, 1 stick. Simple to pick up, hard to master, but outstanding fun at all skill levels.

Amazingly fun little game.
And my kids (5 & 7) just love it!
It may appear a bit violent at first glance, but it’s not that violent.
You mostly cut food items or break and occasional cup.
No blood or gore or anything.
The game easy to play - even a child can do it.
So kids enjoy it very much.
The bot enemies on lower difficulties are also quite easy to overcome, so the kids can even play the game by themselves.
Other than various characters (that only differ in their graphics) the game also offers various levels, with different game mechanics (levers that allow you to kill enemies by moving the environment, moving ground, ice, trees that hide you, etc.)

Speed Mazing
I’m not sure how I stumbled across this game but its a really fun little party game. It kinda reminds of Micro Maniacs back on the PSX even though this doesn’t have weapons, or anything like that, it feels similar. You have to race against the clock to get to the finish square in 1 player. In local MP you are competing with other players to reach the finish square first.
The 1 player is essentially time trial across certain levels and unlocking Gold, Silver and Bronze achievement times.
The MP is local only but its a lot fun if you have people to play with. As with these types of games its reliant on playing with other people to get the most fun out of it but its great for short play bursts with friends if you have people to play with.

Bubble Bobble 4 Friends: The Baron’s Workshop
Game is awesome,
at first it seems to be too easy, but the focus here lies clearly on score-hunting, there are enough incentives to reward the player properly for high scores. Is the score high enoug you become rated with stars, depending on the rating you unlock achievments, music and editor parts.
This also means that playing the game just normally, won’t satisfy the urge for challenge, that’s important to notice, if you die merely your score resets and the progress in the current room, which isn’t much. If you die three times in a row on the same room you can make yourself invincible, which is a bit too much in my opinion, but at the same time, it’s just there for completing the short main campaign, after you’ve been through it, there is a much harder campaign which is hard enough that it might be even interesting to play if you not play for scores, in these levels the invincibility option is turned off. It took me some time and was pretty hard, but earning thhree stars in the hard versions is highly satisfying.

I’d like to applaud Taito for standing behind their product and fixing the major bugs the game had that originally prevented me from recommending this title… but it’s still not perfect for the current price point. While it no longer has any game breaking issues, the main Story levels still lack the visual charm of the original Bubble Bobble (which thankfully works great now and is also included via the “Arcade of Memories”) in regards to enemy designs and block skins; proving that new doesn’t always equal better.

FROG X BIRD
Once upon a time a frog
Croaked away in Bingle Bog
Every night from dusk to dawn
He croaked awn and awn and awn
Other creatures loathed his voice,
But, alas, they had no choice,
And the crass cacophony
Blared out from the sumac tree
At whose foot the frog each night
Minstrelled on till morning night
Neither stones nor prayers nor sticks.
Insults or complaints or bricks
Stilled the frogs determination
To display his heart’s elation.
But one night a nightingale
In the moonlight cold and pale

This game is EPIC fun. Brings back the old Joust days with a modern twist. I used this as a party game and we ended up playing for hours. Get 4 controllers and challenge your friends.
the basketball mode is incredible. Get the ball through the rings, so simple yet so challenging when youre friends are trying to hijack you.
I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in local gameplay and connecting with friends.

Shakes on a Plane
It is very challenging to play by yourself. I enjoyed having to prioritize all of the aspects of the plane. Buy this game if you’re up for the challenge, otherwise, you will need some friends to play with you.

[Steam only allows a Yes or No, but this is really deserves a Mixed rating, as many of the issues are fixable.]
As a huge fan of Overcooked and Moving Out, I found myself compelled enough to play through all 27 levels, despite some frustratingly imbalanced portions (at least in single-player) that require a precision that the controls do not easily afford. The portions of the game that leaned fully into plane management–sorting through baggage, cleaning up vomit, forcibly seating bratty passengers, bracing for turbulence–were novel. Some of the intentionally inconvenient level designs were clever to boot, particularly the one with both a conveyor belt and several color-coded teleport pads. That said, the overall package is a mixed bag, one that’s ultimately held back by taking place entirely within airplanes (and a handful of UFOs).

Tinker Racers
This game far exceeded my expectations!!
I agree with someone who wrote a review saying “it’s almost like stealing from the developers”. It is very cheap for what it delivers (in fact I still don’t get the price so low, maybe because it is in Early Access …).
After unlocking all the tracks, we spent a lot of time having so much fun at Free For All Mode! 4 people playing it is insane!
The lack of an online multiplayer would be a serious problem for a game like this if it weren’t for Steam’s Remote Play Together. Luckily because of this steam feature we were able to have a lot of fun playing online, so maybe that can be disregarded. If you are playing on the keyboard, just remember to previously agree on which keys each player of the remote play together will play (after all you are supposed to be playing on the same keyboard via stream … it took us a while to realize this).

It’s extremely difficult to speak ill of this game considering the price it charges. It’s dirt cheap, it’s almost like stealing from the developers. And what’s in it for you?
As the game itself says in its description, it is essentially a clone of MicroMachines. It is essentially the same game, with the same principles: you use small (toy) cars, running on tracks that seem to have been assembled by children in their rooms, to play against other cars. If the distance between the first place and the other cars is too great, the cars that touch the edges of the screen are defeated and disappear, until there is only one car left on the track. Then, you win the round, and repeat this for 5 more times.
