Hexagroove: Tactical DJ
Hexagroove is probably the most interesting and exciting music game I’ve ever played. It’s a rhythm game made by people with a deep and obvious love of electronic music and the culture around it. It plays in a unique and intuitive way that makes it simple to make some kick ass music. Honestly, I never knew how much I needed something like this in my life.
Unlike other rhythm games which rely on quick reflexes and tapping along to the beat, most of Hexagroove’s gameplay centers around layering different instrumental loops. If you’re the kind of person who likes to play a game for the challenge, then it might not be for you. Most of the fun comes from putting together the different pieces and finding a solid groove, then adjusting it and playing with it on the fly. There’s room for a lot more experimentation and playfulness than in games that emphasize skill mastery, like Beatmania or Audiosurf. It offers some mini-games and an obligatory campaign, but you won’t find anything too taxing except on the highest difficulty. I’ve made my way through the whole game on each difficulty level, but most of my time is spent in free mode just jamming out. I’d hesitate to even call Hexagroove a game. It controls like a game, and it’s got levels, achievements and tricks to perform for style points, but it plays more like an instrument, something you can play to make cool music, without any of the hassle of having to learn to beatmatch or how to use an MPC.

Even with my short time in the game thus far I think it’s incredibly cool. I’ve not seen or played anything else like it. From the viewpoint of someone who doesn’t (yet) make music, it’s about the closest you can get to actually mixing and producing your own tracks while still also technically being a game.
It’s a lot of fun just to play around in, and I love that the game encourages that. More than once I’d be vibing with all the loops and samples in the practice mode, finding out my favorites and which ones work well together before remembering, oh yeah, I have a set to go play, maybe I should do that. It’s double cool that incorporating real life mixing and songwriting techniques and theory affect your performance and score. Also you can have a Psytrance rave deep in the forest.

Destroy The Hexons
I have always enjoyed logic games. Some of the levels were a challenge, but was able to conquer all the levels. Really would like to see more in this game. Loved the game!

CANNON
Don’t waste your dollar. This game has been broken since the last update 8 weeks ago. Even if they do patch it, it is still not worth 1 dollar.

After the awesome “destroy” series, this one is just boring… ‘Only’ 10 levels in, so things may change, but currently, I am pretty much disappointed. Cannons just refill, so you can’t do anything wrong. Only being able to fire a single cannon at a time, when several paths are clear just makes it feel slow an tedious.
I don’t really want to turn people off of this game, so I won’t make the review a negative one, (Valve please add some sort of neutral option please!) just be aware that this is (imho) not a puzzler, you can ‘solve’ the levels by brute-force clicking…

Simply Parkour
Simply Parkour is as simple as it gets. You can jump, run, and hold onto zip lines.
This game has some bugs. I can’t load saves at the moment. It gets stuck loading. Luckily, the game is short and you’ll be back to where you were quickly.
If you enjoy simple games, then this game is for you.

Simply Parkour is being developed by one developer, Matt Sowards. So far, the game looks good, with a pretty landscape, buildings, funny billboards. The premise is that you shouldn’t fall (obviously), and you need to traverse through puzzles to beat the game. It sounds like a lot of fun, and I know with some work, Simply Parkour can be a cool game to play, specially for the ones who enjoy parkour games such as Mirror’s Edge and want to see more of that.

Through The Frame
Race through the frames and reach the finish line as quickly as possible to get the highest score and beat the other players!
In Through The Frame, players move around with the help of a grappling hook. In front of them is a level made up of frames that guide them to the end.
During the Steam festival, 4 levels will be available!
-
A game created for the “cores” and “hardcore” gamers of the genre.
-
A platformer that allows players to focus solely on the goal and the perfection of the mechanics through a calm, heavy and abstract universe.
-
The learning curve of the players very visible and appreciable despite a complex grappling mechanic.
Balls Royale
Day one review (to be updated).
The game has a few bugs and errors but over all I find it fantastic! The gameplay shown in the videos and screenshots is exactly what you’re getting so I won’t go into detail about it. These are my main takeaways after almost 2 hrs of gameplay:
1. The power-up which shrinks the size of the others paddles, or whatever they’re called, is terrible. When it is active you have no chance whatsoever to dogde balls coming from the sides so if a ball comes in a steep angle you instantly loose.

So there were these two games, Pong and Breakout. This game, Balls Royale, is kind of a combination of the two. And in my short time playing thus far, is pretty feckin rad. Problem is, it needs more people. What kind of people? People who don’t mind spending two dollars for some fun. Because trust me, it’s fun.
The matches don’t last long, the chat is pretty lively and fun, and the Developer, Enigmum, pops into matches when not chatting with the folks playing. There are a few unlocks for ball color, bar color, etc, but nothing extravagant. No, it’s all about the gameplay. Granted, it’s one of those “I’ll jam out on it for a half hour or so” kinds of games, but that “half hour or so” is gonna be pretty feckin fun.

Destroy All The Cubes
The idea for this game is excellent and I really want to like it, but it is fundamentally flawed; the ‘ball gun’ is very inaccurate, balls keep hitting corners of bricks and bounce straight back no matter how much care I take in aiming, and luck plays a huge part in this game, when it ought to be down to skill. A very frustrating game indeed.

Very weird, creepy, and disturbing. As soon as I got used to what was going on, something new appeared to feel uneasy. Simple yet effective.

Perfectly Balanced
Although very simple, the game’s proposal is very solid “Distribute the weights in the remaining blocks”. It was a longer game play than I expected, but it was a plus for me as the game has a window mode so I just played casually while doing other things.
