Marooners
Marooners is a great little party game that you can play with up to 6 players, You can mix local and online players. It is very chaotic because minigames just pauze and change often. It is a blast.
The goal of the game is always collecting coins, A coin is worth 1, A Emerald is worth 5 and a Diamond is worth 10. You can hit other players which disables them for a few seconds. You play trough the minigames and the player with the most coins at the end wins. It is not an easy task, Most of the minigames are very challenging especially with 6 players.

The Rise of Chubtan
The Rise of Chubtan gives eager players another excuse to let out their aggression on friends in a local deathmatch game. While the Mayan setting stands out, the foretold apocalypse must not have been caused by too much in-game content. Chubtan doesn’t rise so much as he kind of just leans up.
The objective in Chubtan is to use your palette swap character to hit the switch in the arena as many times as possible, with each hit changing the switch’s location and activating a trap, to build up your score before time runs out. Players can punch for knock back or send out a projectile with a brief stun, both of which won’t directly kill your opponent but rather help to manipulate them into traps. The focus of the game is less about killing and more about score, and some of the traps are more likely to punish careless players than be used for murder.

12 orbits
Wow. Wow, wow, wow. For this price, I have never played a game with this much quality. The 3D graphics are stunning and are sometimes not seen in games worth $5 or more. Again, the game is worth buying just for its quality. Not to mention the control screen is as easy as pressing a button. The game is as simple as that, too! However, we haven’t even gotten to the actual game yet.
So, what is the game, you ask?
This game has 4 different modes with 7 total variations total. Arena and Trails are free-for-all modes, Blizzard and Multiball are team modes, and Arena, Trails, and Blizzard have practice variations. For every mode, there are 7-8 maps you can play on. On these map, there are circles of various sizes and location through it. After you select your button, you can press the button when in the circles to go around them in an orbit (hence “orbits” in the title). When you press your button outside the circle, you dash forward, which can be beneficial or hurtful, depending on the mode. You can always tell the direction of your character by looking at where the arow points. It never breaks physics, but it is helpful for when you have a lot of characters on the screen, and a small bit of color isn’t enough to keep your eye focused. In addition, there are modifications for the four multiplayer modes, giving you flexibility and countless arangements of fun! Lastly, if you are in a circle and an opponent or sphere hits you, your orbit will break unless you hit your button immediately afterwards. Alright, let’s go on to the modes!

TL;DR - A simple look with a simple mechanic. Good amounts of options, yet feels pretty samey after a while. It’s a party game that really tries, but never reaches it’s true potential. 7/10
12 orbits seemed interesting. The ability to play with 12 players with the usage of just a button each is incredible. With simple taps, everyone would take control their character without losing focus on what lies ahead. The concept comes together in four different modes that anyone can get into easily. The major question is, obviously, are these modes even entertaining to play. Personally I had a hard time figuring this out.

Batu Ta Batu
batu ta batu would be a pretty cool matching game, not your typical match-3 variety, but mostly broken controls make it largely unplayable. the store page says keyboard supported (as if it should be a feature in a pc game), but it just means the game sometimes reacts to keypresses somehow.

Dwarven Brawl Bros
Dwarven Brawl Bros is a ridiculously fun local multiplayer party game that will keep you and all your friends entertained for every second that you’re playing.
My usual Player 2 had appendicitis so we were looking for something to play that we could use controllers and play on the TV and we decided to give DBB a try; best choice I’ve made this week.
Dwarven Brawl Bros is a retro style take on party brawl games and is one of the best I’ve played.
I spent a lot of time on Towerfall Ascension on my Ouya and loved it a lot, and there are many games out there like that but none of them really feel that great in comparison. DBB does.

Introduction
Published and developed by Dwarves Might Fly, Dwarven Brawl is a local multiplayer party game that is really fun to play with (if you have any real life friends and not internet friends that is). With local 2 to 6 player 2D fighting Super Smash bros, retro kinda feel to the game.
Gamepaly
Dwarven Brawl is a addictive and very fun local mutliplayer game. There are loads of game modes so there is a nice variety of gamemodes, with some options that can make the game different everytime that you play it. To me this has a slight feel of the way that the Super smash bros. which isn’t a bad thing, but is a nice way to set up your game like that. There is also a nice variety of weapons and stages that will be randomly selected as you complete each round of the game. The way that the game starts is that you start with no weapons, using only your bare hands, there are so many weapons that are thrown into the stage for you to pick up and switch through if you want. There is a nice special attack mechanic that will be charged up, every weapon that is on this game has it’s own special attack. With such a veruety of stages and weapons that you can aquire, you will play this game for hours having fun playing with your friends on this game. There is a nice ending screen on the end of each round, which shows you how much damage has been dealt and the damage you have taken as well. The only draw back that I have with this game is that it’s Local Mutliplayer, Most gamers don’t normally have friends round to play games, they use dedicated servers on the games or use their own servers to host multiplayer. Local means that there is no alternative and this might bring down the game slightly and limit the amount of people who

Last Slice
Pizza went from a nice time at any pizzeria to an illegal hard drug within just a year. Why was pizza made illegal, what happened to the president, and who’s behind it all? Together with some friends and unlikely allies you deliver pizza, track down your orderers, and evade (or beat up) those who will relentlessly try to take your pizza.
Color Breakers
Color Breakers is a cute and fun co-op game that feels like a mix between Overcooked and Splatoon. The best moments are definitely when you play 4 player couch co-op and you can see the chaos of trying to coordinate and complete a level with your friends.
The different levels add a lot of variety and randomness to the game, which leads to some very funny moments. In one level you might be dodging cars in the middle of the highway while trying to complete a painting and in another level you are running away from lions that are trying to eat you.

Neighborhorde
I LOVE this game, it has a great artstyle, awesome weapons and enemies, and is it has an amazing replayability value.
I originally bought this game because my friend and I were bored and needed something to do, not knowing what I had gotten myself into. The game starts you out looking at a group of animals sitting on a couch together, but as soon as you get into the game you think to yourself, “Huh, this game looks pretty empty.” Then, five rounds later your like, “This game is too easy, give me a challenge.” and then the next round you are just killing some robots and then BAM you get kidnapped by a demon snowman that takes you into a corner and repeatedly beats the everliving shiz out of you. I have only played the game a little while now but holy crap this game is entertaining as heck and I still don’t understand why it isn’t more popular. Overall, I give it a 9/10, the only thing they could’ve done to make it better is to add some more gamemodes.

I stumbled across this game late one evening. I threw it on my wishlist and waited for it to release. I saw it came out a few days ago and decided “what the heck”. Man, am I glad I did. I absolutely adore Neighborhorde. I have to say, the looks, design, and overall aesthetic is fantastic. The cheery fun visuals and the 90’s toybox theme is wonderful. For 4.99 there is tons of content/replayability. Unlockable “hats” and levels as well as the “roguelike” in-run upgrade system have made it a staple already with my roomates. After we had played it for around an hour we already had the theme stuck in our heads. the controls are super tight too! I purposely go out of my way to buy couch coop games. I have a cooler master scout 2 case with a gtx 1070 that is perfect to take to parties. I have 4 wireless xbox one controllers and 4 wireless 360s. Steam couch coop games are always hits. For 4.99 this game is a total steal and totally worthy of being in my collection.

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.

Puck Buddies
The gameplay is already super fun and easy to pickup. I played on remote play with a friend for a couple hours and we had a blast with it. The controls are super simple and easy to figure out, and a reasonable skill ceiling to reach once you figure out how to do one-timers, how to utilize jumps, and how to use the physics to your advantage. I also enjoy the single player practice and scoring modes, which are a fun way to add in some extra content when you just feel like playing some arcade hockey. I also really appreciate all the little characters and how they all have some sort of connection to hockey lingo. It’s a great little arcade game that definitely has a lot of room to grow and I’m super looking forward to the full release. I hope you guys decide to add in online multiplayer so we can play with up to 8 people online without having to mess with the steam remote play, or so we can play online against other random opponents. Fantastic game, super happy with the purchase!

Bought this game the day it came out without realizing it, but it feels SO polished and smooth. All it needs is more maps in funky shapes with cool obstacles. Ultimate couch party game.
