A green-skinned young witch named Mabel Syrup turns into a big, bouncy eyeball (why not a boob, liver, or buttock?) to recover her stolen magical ingredients in this incredibly novel take on the breakout subgenre. While smashable blocks are there in plenty, the majority of the challenge comes from the huge roster of foes and their extremely well-animated attacks, which increase in number and swiftness with the jump to hard mode. Normal is pretty dang easy on the whole – almost casual in spots – so I would encourage veteran 2D gamers seeking a bigger bang for their buck to immediately go for hard after beating the base game; all bosses are noticeably beefed up, not with more life or attack power, but with trickier patterns and maneuvers, and this is objectively the correct way to do such things. Bravo!

Pros:
-
Only mouse is necessary to play
-
Has the charm of platformers from the GBA and DS era
-
More to do after the main story is complete
-
Has both mini bosses and bosses
-
Awesome OST
Cons:
-
Multiple playthroughs required to unlock other modes and difficulties
-
No powerups at all (except for an optional one for one level)
All in all it is a simple adventure game that mimics the charm of a kirby game. It is short, but it is a 5 dollar game that still manages to provide value past those 5 dollars. A good enough game that I hope the developer(s) can follow up with a sequel that this game deserves.

Outergalactic Aliens Pinball
fun table, same wonderfully complex table layout, LOVE the length of play per game, i feel like it almost never ends; and reaching target and goals feels much smoother of play than previous table. lots of fun ingenuity.
overall, 8/10. just still not a fan of the style of the graphics/art, and the DMD still without much option to adjust/relocate/hide/resize, etc, but I play on a VCab, so i know im a minority for certain features. highly recommend for fans of the game.
and again, great background track, major earworm

Outergalactic Aliens Pinball :: a space/alien themed pinball game :: while a bit rough around the edges (especially in terms of UI) this is an interesting pinball board to play on, with levels. 6/10

On A Roll 3D
I loved original Rayman on PlayStation. It had magnificent levels, absolutely awesome soundtrack and overally it gave to its player really good feeling despite having sometimes really challenging difficulty. In conclusion, it was a great success.
Reason, why I brought Rayman to here is how On A Roll 3D’s beautiful retro-style gameplay reminds me of it a lot.
- It has tiny puzzles every here and there, where you have to think most usually from one vision to few seconds to how to accomplish it, whilst not being just runthrough over the maps.

PRE-UPDATE: A classic 2D side-scroller with 3D graphics (2.5D?) with some unique twists thrown into the mix creating a fresh and fun platforming experience.
And although it does use elements seen in most platformers what’s wrong with keeping the tradition if it’s not broken?
Now I have played the original On A Roll on XBLA and so far On A Roll 3D isn’t as difficult as its predecessor, but don’t let the game’s bright, colorful art-style fool you as it may provide challenge in the later levels.
