BULLET PARTY
This is a seemingly straightforward schmup on the surface but it’s just as much a puzzle game. Levels fly at you thick & fast, and you sometimes have just seconds to destroy all the enemies onscreen. However the visuals, whilst retro, are clearly defined & even though you will perish (many times!) it never feels annoying as you get put back in again, forcing you to think quickly & remember what worked & what didn’t.
Kind of unique among the many twin stick shooters out there, and great value. Even the pulsing soundtrack is effective. Get it!

BULLET PARTY is obviously a bullet hell game. A very hellish bullet game at that.
CONS
1. Gets very hard very easily, but this is to be expected. Bullet hell game after all. (Still annoying.)
2. No level editor. I feel like a level editor would REALLY make this game, especially if you could upload your levels and others could play theeem……………………
1. Very fun experience, with lots of levels.
2. Very fun with friends.
FINAL VERDICT
BULLET PARTY is a very fun game as you can tell. The game can be annoying at times, but it’s worth the money.

I’ve played the local multiplayer several times with friends and have had a great time playing. The variety of game types and settings provide a lot of options for replayability. I can’t wait to play the campaign once it is released, especially since it can be played coop. Cymatically Muffed is reminiscent of older classics while still providing new and exciting mechanics of it’s own. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

Rumble
Controls take a little getting used. Also has a bit of mini-game or mobile casual game feel, lacking a little polish. But it’s not as bad as some of the negative reviews suggest. The 3D graphics are OK, if a little glitchy, the campfire is really atmospheric. The co-op mode against the wolves is super addictive! Sometimes the pace feels a little slow and running around picking up things gets tedious. Making the blood stains fade a bit might make it a little more family friendly too. Perhaps one to get on special if you have some friends in the same room to play against with gamepads. For the price there are better similar titles out there, for example Super Snow Fight which has many more power-ups and game modes.

Alright I am a local coop games fiend. I literally watch the coop games search for recent games every day to see if there’s something I really need and I’ve got to say this is something I really needed.
You pick up rocks or spears off the ground and throw them at each other
If you can react fast enough you cna dodge them
if you dodge a rock or spear it can land on a wall behind you and you can throw it at them..
GOD THIS IS FUN
if you are a LOCAL COOP GAME FIEND then buy this my friends love it k bye

Nine Parchments
achievements
great pick for achievement-hunters. achievements are interesting, without any unfairness. most of them require using magic attacks in some way (deal XXX damage, attack XXX enemies at once, use beam for XXX seconds, etc), which require either picking a right character, leveling-up in some unorthodox way, or finding a right enemy-spawner. sweet, fine and engaging

Chasing after nine parchments: chaotic but fun
Brief Overview
Nine Parchments is a magical twin-stick shooter which can be played alone or in up to four-person co-op. The game is set in the same universe as the Trine puzzle platformer series and shares the same vibrant surroundings and enchanting atmosphere. Nine Parchments is, however, very different from Trine.

Dual Core
First impressions, this a good fun game. It’s fairly simple to play, no complicated controls (I use mouse and keyboard, but I understand it’s designed for controllers). I’ve only played single player so far, but I’ll let the kids loose on this tommorow for some local coop and update review then. So far so good.

This is a really good, yet strangely unkown, twin stick shooter. And I honestly can’t see the reason why there is not much hype for this game. The graphics are well done handdrawn style with appealing effects layed all over it, the music is good and pumping and apart from very few ones missing here and there even the sound effects are quite good. The controls are perfectly responsible. There are only very few times when you get stuck on a corner and that’s nothing that can’t be flattened out by upgrading your robots speed so it can run and turn faster.

Gunnheim
Gunnheim is an excellent top-down twin stick shooter. I love these type of games and I haven’t played a good one until Gunnheim came along, I highly recommend this game to anyone that enjoys games like this.
The gameplay is what you expect from a twin stick shooter, but the things that separate this game from other similar ones are what make it unique. First off is the graphics, just as the dev’s listed, it is not pixelated and that to me is very refreshing. Yes pixels aren’t bad, but can get tiring, with Gunnheim however the graphics are very charming, there is a lot of warmth when you play through the various levels. The other thing is the setting of the game, I don’t know why, but the idea of vikings using guns is hilarious and refreshing. You would never think of a viking wielding a gun, but somehow the dev’s made it work.

Solar Purge
Been playing this game since before EA launch! i’ve sat down talked with the devs. Through conversation and feedback with not only myself, but also through the community on their discord. They have really taken strides to improve their game. Keep in mind this game is early access in the way its intended! It had a great baseline for a twin stick shooter. Has even more potential to become one of the best out there. Now that i given backstory let me tell you about the game. Lets talk about it.
This is a traditional twin stick shooter through and through! gun play feels great on mouse and keyboard. Also supports controller. both methods feel and look great. There is 1 game mode right now called holo chamber. its got 2 maps caldera and jungle.

A really fun game for local couch co-op multiplayer! I personally used Parsec to play the game with my friends online and we all had a good time! The game has come a long way over the last year or two and I hope that everyone can get the same enjoyment out of this game that I have with my friends!

TANKNAROK
Its a pretty good multiplayer party game.
The game has fairly simple controls and easy to pick up, its very fast paced and chaotic, with lots of visual effects, environemntal hazards and a wide variety of mostly randomly spawned weapons and gadgets. One round mostly lasts less than a minute, while an entire game lasts around five minutes. It makes it perfect for when you have a little bit of time to kill and a few friends around.
The only real cons with this game are its lack of single player features and a bit of wonkiness with the online multiplayer. However, neither of these are big issues, since this game works best with the local multiplayer. So, if you have some friends who want to play this with you, id definitely recommend it.

Developer posted about this game on social media. Took a quick look at the discount and video and purchased immediately. Got to play with my son tonight and we had a blast. Reminds us of the quick map changes and random weapons we loved in stick fight from another developer. This game is well polished and very fun to play. Just need more people to buy and enjoy the game so I can have more of you to play online with! I highly recommend this game especially if you have a setup to allow couch co-op.
