Drone Crash Course
This game of my childhood, when I didn’t have a good phone, pc and internet yet, I always played a similar game on my phone, so it’s so much for me. I hope they will add achievements

It would seem that the idea could not be simpler, but catchy) One of the most thoughtful indie games, in principle, a very deep and addictive game. A very sweet, soulful, relaxing gameplay.

Mira’s Brush
Cute, colorful, and full of lighthearted humor. I had a little trouble getting a feel for the color-swapping mechanics, but other than that, I’ve enjoyed what I’ve played so far. Looking forward to seeing how the game develops as it gets close to full release.

Mira’s Brush is a colorful take on the side-scrolling pixel-art platforming genre, a genre that defined early video games and has persisted through the years. The basic idea is that all the color has been stolen from Chromaland which is now greyscale and it is up to Mira and her brush to restore color. You can steal colors and paint and do a host of different shapes and colors to defeat or blend enemies. Sadly it is marred by clunky gameplay and tutorial and clunky menus.
The platforming aspect of the game is pretty icy and takes some frustrating moments getting used to. I found it difficult to jump high enough sometimes and it really takes more technique to get on to stuff but it is manageable, but it should be like 10% higher. The tutorial floating text is terribly placed and floats off screen and is difficult to see. Sometimes matching enemies to the background does not work.

Micro Mages
Another Kickstarter backer here, I have been looking forward to this game for months. Micro Mages is a Nintendo NES game in 40KB, which was the size of a standard NES ROM cartridge when the NES was first released (and the same size as the original Super Mario Bros launch title). Later NES games would take advantage of techniques like bank switching to use bigger ROMs.
At the time of writing Morphcat has only put the game trailer on the Steam store page, not their other far more popular video which shows exactly how they fit the game into 40KB. It really is an incredibly well made video I promise you won’t regret watching it, so HERE is the YouTube link .

This game is simply excellent. Other reviews do a good job explaining why this is a technical marvel or why you should support the developers, but the last question is “Is it any good?”
Absolutely.
When I started playing, it felt pretty easy. I was zipping through levels and I knew it wasn’t a very long game. I did get one or two Game Overs in the Normal levels but I probably finished the first 13 in an hour and a half.
Then you have the 13 Hard Mode levels. Definitely harder, but I still wasn’t sure how long it would last. Great news, though: They really are unique levels in their own right. They resemble their Normal level counterparts, but it becomes a much tighter game with clever level design. And the difficulty keeps ramping up. Absolutely no death feels “cheap”; it always comes down to how well you play. And near-death experiences keep you feeling engaged.

Super Star Shooter 16
Super Star Shooter is a psychedelic shooter that somehow feels calming to play. It’s in early access so there are some improvements to be had but my time with it has been somewhat of a neat experience. I love the soundtrack and the voice that talks throughout the levels. In a way I feel like I’m playing a combination of star fox and tempest 4000. One thing I wish is maybe for score hunters possibly have an endless mode? That’s just a minor thing I was thinking about. I honestly can’t wait for it to be finished because the progress of this game is good!

This is a seriously good retro 3D shooter with great visuals, sound effects, speech, music and playability. If you like blasting things, you will not be disappointed.

My son and I loved this game - nice relaxing retro platformer - keep em coming!
Super neat that the artifact statues were old video game characters like manic miner and, i think, dizzy. Ending was also classic…

Really nice jumping platform 8 bit era inspired game. If you remember that era well, then this game will be right up your street. Nothing more to be said.

Serious Scramblers
After almost 20 hours of playing this game, I find it in 3 words to describe it.
Marvellous, Exciting, Enjoyable.
Oh, you read that right. Those 3 words summed it up.
[GRAPHIC]
Okay, thing is, this game is really enjoyable. But how it is enjoyable? First the retro vibe and simple graphics are already mesmerizing. I mean, in this age now, how many of us can still enjoy some good old-school style game. This one does, so it’s great!
- CHECKED!
[MUSIC]
Music wise, absolutely catchy and melodic. Sure, it’s a bit repetitive but old-school games are like that. Plus, it’s not some dull and boring musics but rather, it fits the gameplay very well. Personally, I like it. And importantly, it brings me back to my younger days when I was playing those NES games. So yeah, it’s cool, good and memorable.

first impressions (updated with new info):
-
great pixel art and music.
-
gets you on the edge of your seat in the way a good arcade-type game would.
-
fast-paced, no waiting around to restart your next fall.
- a very important element (that you can go from one edge of the play area to the other a la Pacman) isn’t taught to you except as a loading screen type tip (which I didn’t see until after I’d learned it by myself), so I figured you couldn’t go to the sides at first. this made some jumps that would otherwise have been easy hat frustratingly appear impossible to avoid. I kinda wish that info were relegated to an info tab or something in the menu, rather than as an obscure tip.

Nox Archaist
maybe 5 years ago, I purchased the complete Ultima series from GOG, and played them from Ultima 4 onwards (I didn’t consider 1-3 as worthy of my time as the Avatar was introduced in 4). Why would I do such a thing? well, I had played bits and pieces of most of them, but never finished them as a teenager (except for ultima 6). It has always been on my bucket list to finish them all. Well I got through 4 to 7, before I ran out of steam, but I loved every minute. Ultima 5 was the best in my opinion.

Edit: Just Finished my first playthrough of the main storyline and it was so fun and satisfying, even the grind was fun because there were so many places and unique creatures to kill. I’ll keep it short so no spoilers but I will say if you enjoy the seeking and speaking to the NPC’s and really building the world through interacting with it you will love this game.
Saw this game and thought it would be very cool to play a game along in the realm of my first CRPG’s, UltimaIV was the first computer game i tried in my life.
