Frog Climbers
General:
Rating: E
Price: $6.99
Genre: Local Multiplayer, Parkour?
Time played: 18.1 hours
Challenge your friends to climb a mountain. That’s pretty much it, select a frog and climb to the top faster/better than your friends.
Gameplay - 7
You select a frog, so does everyone else. Then you climb to the top of the mountain. You control both arms of the frog and choose when to grab or release things. You can climb up using whatever you can find, vines with rocks, ledges, other frogs. Sometimes you have to use gravity to your advantage, swinging along to try and move up. It’s really a physics based game.

Frog Climbers is a new indie game made by a team of four called TeamCrew and published by Plug In Digital. The game began production back in March of 2015, where it went on to win best execution in design and gamer’s choice award. It is now set to release on steam on October 6th.
The game is a local multiplayer party game made for up to four players. That’s right local, there is no online play whatsoever… unless you count the leader board times when you are playing the solo daily speedruns. Having no online component does seem to kill the playtime when playing with friends. I brought a few of my friends over to play the game and test out how well we would do. While we did have fun, it was short lived ending the game session after a little over an hour. We enjoyed our time with the game but there is really only so much fun you can have with a game where the only objective of it is to get to the top of one of 260 randomized mountains.

This is a good game as of right now. What could make it better is more PVE modes, and a online mode. That would make a game have a lot more playability. This is still a great game to play with the boys with some bitchin boys night out music.

Amazing Frog?
Awesome game!
At first I was like, ‘What the hell, all you do is run around, fart and fall over’ but my daughter likes watching Pungeance on the tube, and I can’t really let her play GTA5, so we kept playing…
And wow! once you figure out how things work, learn about some unlocks and start two player (Controllers highly recommended, camera moves much better with them) the hours will fly by. Getting some unlocks feel like genuine achievements / lessons in perseverance, the LOL key and microscopes spring to mind.

We (my housemates and I) have played this game since it was on the OUYA, and missed it so much that we bought it on PC.
The Amazing Frog is a game about messing around, persistence, and discovery. If you wanted to go all literary-analysis on it, you could say that the ease with which you fall down and get back up again plays into the theme of persistence. But honestly I think the devs just thought it was funny.
The main gameplay loop is something like this. Mess around until you find something weird and new to interact with. Try lots of things with it until it unlocks something. With the new unlocks, rinse and repeat. This loop wasn’t really present in the OUYA version, and I think it’s an overall improvement that lengthens the appeal of the game and gives it an occasional magical quality. Don’t be expecting amazing discoveries though; we’re talking small stuff here. This game works best with no explanation and little to no expectations. It is exactly as dumb as it looks, with lots of fart humor and the occasional pop culture or current events reference. I think the unabashed silliness of it goes so dumb that it wraps back around to funny for us.

Crumble
VERY solid 3D platformer. I’m thoroughly impressed. Especially considering this is these Developers’ first child. What first impressions :D.
Highly entertaining. Very challenging. Reminds me of another game called “Cluster Truck” but with a bigger budget & more content yet the same price. The physics in this game are superb and highly entertaining. The controls are smoothe & fair. The grapple is intuative. Air control is flawless. Wholeheartedly reccomend. It’s also, can confirm, super fun with friends :). 100%’d the game. Much replayability trying to beat your previous times. Has a few secrets up its sleeve ;3. Games price seems super duper fair for 15$ base price :D. I USUALLY collect games on deep sales; and I feel no qualms buying this full price c: .

Hate giving this a negative review since I feel like I should enjoy this. But the grappling physics that make up the fundamentals of Crumble keep me from coming back to improve my times.
With gamepad:
The priority of what the tongue “wants” to grab makes it feel like a painfully sluggish trial and error when going for better times. Even the slightest difference in approach can make the difference between the tongue pulling you directly into a wall or a graceful swing along side it for speed. Every time I pull off a good jump, it feels like random luck. There’s no feedback telling me what Im doing right or wrong when it comes to maintaining speed. The “aim cursor” is a damn liar and should be ignored. You can grab when you cant see it, and it does not tell you how long the tongue will be anyway(important to know, to properly time your release for more speed).

Ben and Ed - Blood Party
At first it was fun, but then…
Online is dead, game didn’t received any updates in a year, no special maps no special outfits related to hollydays, broken achivment (you have to download an old version to be able to get one achivment), many many little bugs, poor optimization (in my case it’s textures that becomes blurry after long session on hdd and alt-tab issue).
What can be improved you say? Well I have something in my mind.
First of all, custom maps that’s aproved by devs.
Second is randomizer, i mean when you choose a map, you should be able to randomize which level will be played and with what live count and time limit it should be played.

Pro’s:
-Multiplayer is so much fun with friends, you can rage and laugh together or even play with a random and make friends with them
-Custom Maps, this makes the game into something a whole lot different pretty much the idea of Super Mario Maker I have played some crazy levels but they are mostly pretty great
-Mechanics have improved a little and i’m being kind with a little it can still be verrrryyy tedious at times but it’s like learning how to kiss for the first time you will get the hang of it

SpeedRunners
First off, I’m gonna say this game is really fun and is worth a buy if you’re gonna play with friends. However, if you’re going solo in this game, you might want to hear what i’m going to say.
What frustrates me as a player is the cancellation of Speedrunners as an ESL sport. This game had so much potential and would have attracted many people kids and adults alike to watch amazing professional gameplay. Though I would understand why this game had ultimately died because of a couple of reasons, one being that it has an identity crisis.

Introduction
Speedrunners is a brilliant, 2d, sidescrolling, racing game where you race against up to 3 players, locally or online in a battle of speed and wits. I used to dislike this game, until very recently when it was much less buggy and I got to understand the mechanics of the game. It is early-access, but a very good one at that. Continue reading, to learn more.
Gameplay
Your goal in speedunners, is essentially to win the race. However, there aren’t any laps, nor are there any special objectives. Instead, all of you have to do is be so far ahead of the rest of the racers, that they vanish off the screen. The race screen follows the leader, so it is key to stay close to the leader in order to stay alive. Once the opposing racers have hit the bounds of the screen, you as the leader win a round. Winning 3 rounds makes you the overall winner of the race. Sounds fairly easy? Well it would be, if this game didn’t have items or grappling hooks.

Simply put, it’s a great game. On your own it feels quite drab but together with people online and especially with friends, the games charm really shines.

BH Trials
This game feels like learning to walk after suffering a stroke. At first your movement will be uncontrolled and you will flail your limbs about the place helplessly. But soon you’ll get the hang of it and instead stumble about like a drunken toddler. Great fun!
There is quite a bit of content and extra challenge, as each level offers a collectible and a highscore list where you can try to beat the times of your quadriplegic fellows. Some levels are insanely hard and the highscore lists at later stages have very few entries. I really wish this game would be more popular, it would be well deserved.

I absolutely love this game.
I have always wondered how these sorts of machines are controlled in real life so when I saw Northernlion playing this, I bought it pretty much instantly.
BH Trials is an obstacle course game, where you navigate a “backhoe loader”, as I’ve learned these are called, through a path riddled with all manners of different obstacles. The only problem is, that the only way of movement is manipulating the loader and the backhoe arm. The wheels roll but that’s about it, you can’t actually drive or steer the machine in a normal fashion.
