Brew & Brawl - Gnomes vs. Dwarves

Really cool! Fun gameplay that becomes really addicting once you get into it! Beautiful artstyle and music. Amazing to play competetively with friends as well. Some minor quirks to work out, but has amazing potential!

Artige karakterer som forteller en enda artigere historie!

Kraken Smash: Volleyball

Kraken Smash: Volleyball

I love this game! It’s got the right amount of competitiveness to keep it fun and ongoing. If you like Lethal League, you’ll love playing this game with friends.

I’d love to see some sort of mini game for solo to act as a sort of tutorial but also something that allows a single player to enjoy the game more when playing by themselves. The bot is a little hard but I feel like it being hard really teaches you how to play and get better.

The only thing that truly bothers me is the specific, animated orange background that’s extremely distracting towards the bottom. It’s still playable, but it’s too similar to the ball color when it reaches the second hit. Other than that, I haven’t run into any other issues yet!

BFF or Die

BFF or Die

A nice cooperative puzzle game.

CRASHES when trying to use Remote Play Together. This is too bad. I really wanted to try it out with some help from my far-flung friends.

The initial levels of the game are different based on the number of players. If you want to teach friends how to play, I recommend playing the first 7, or so, levels in TWO PLAYER mode. The early levels of other modes might fail to teach important aspects (like how to get out of the flashlight booth).

This could be a nice title for some “Games Night” cooperative frustration, err I mean fun.

The game is like a physical puzzle game but with action elements to it. And if you play multiplayer, the extra dimension of needing to figure out what each player needs to do and when to complete the level. It can get crazy hectic and tense, especially when your teammates mess up or something unexpected happens. But it never feels unfair or too punishing. Plus you always get time to plan at the start of each level / puzzle.

My only criticism is some of the menu options don’t work with keyboard, but nothing that stops you playing the game.

Boomerang Fu

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.)

Best of the Bomberman clones for multiplayer. Snake mode is hilarious riotous good fun. King of the hill and capture the flag are amazing, obviously, in team games. The more players, the better it is.

Lovely artstyle and laidback music. Only played the tutorial so far but looking forward to playing it with friends in local co-op

Real player with 10.8 hrs in game

A great addition to the Co-op time management/Resource Manage genre,

Soundtrack is pleasing to the ear.

The game is simple to pick up and required scores are manageable.

Currently Lacking in accessibility for the colour blind player, but I have no doubt this will be fixed.

Being able to Mix Local and Online multiplayer makes gathering friends very easy.

Graphical style is very clear and easy to view during long play sessions

Forge Squad

Forge Squad

Great game to play with friends!

I’ve played the first 3 levels on hard difficulty with 2 other friends, but we will definitely continue playing all levels.

Pro:

  • Fun and hectic gameplay

  • Levels feel unique and bring new challenges

  • Hard difficulty feels well balanced

  • Smooth experience overall, no hiccups while playing

Negative:

  • Graphics are outdated, but this does not impact the fun gameplay at all

  • Some objects were hard to see (like turrets), maybe this could be improved with more contrast or saturation

I don’t think I can review this game without comparing it to Overcooked. If you like Overcooked and if you like tower defence games, then Forge Squad might be worth your time!

It is not quite as intuitive as Overcooked; e.g. as humans we know pizza belongs in the oven, but we don’t know how to forge runes.

However, once you get the hang of it, there are some things about Forge Squad that offers more depth than Overcooked!

For example, Forge Squad offers more scope for cooperation than Overcooked. You don’t just focus on your own personal task; a number of crafts require multiple players for optimal execution. Nice!

12 orbits

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.
