Splinter Zone
Alright so I’m only an hour and a bit into this but
I have to write a review on this because the game needs them and first impressions are always important for getting a game.
Splinter Zone is almost what happens if you have Vlambeer remake Megaman 1-3.
Here’s what I mean by that:
If you have played Megaman’s 1 to 3, some of the level segments will feel VERY familiar. .So will some of the enemy behaviours. This is not a bad thing. It’s charmingly familiar.
The Vlambeer part comes in with this RIDICULOUSLY MEATY GUN NOISES and the OBLIGATORY SCREENSHAKE (which you can tone down if you wish in the settings). I cannot tell you how delicious the explosions are too, you have to see them for yourself.

I love this game. The controls are really on point. The shooting, especially when you’re on a higher level, is so much fun. There is so much variation in the construction of the worlds. I have to admit, that it’s not the easiest game I played so far but I love the challenge and it’s still fun because I’m getting better every time I play it.
The enemies seem to be easy targets most of the time but there are quite a few that can be really tedious. All the more fun when you’ve figured out their weak spot. The most interesting part about this game seems to be, that when you’re on a certain skill-level, you can pretty much go on forever. But I think, there’s more to it, than to just beat your own highscore over and over again. The story seems to be, that you can decide for yourself, if you wanna stay in this sourrounding of shoot, kill, die, repeat or if there’s a way out of it. I’ve yet to find this way, but I’m eager to progress towards this alternative goal.

Space Scavenger
I absolutely love this game. In a nutshell, you are trying to survive four levels of “alternate space” – a normal area, an infected area, a solar-fire area and a robotic area. The thing is, the tiny scavenger ship you start with will never make it but you can “MacGyver” a passible fighting ship off the things you scavenge along the way (or possibly purchase in a shop). This part of the game, crafting the ship, is just as much fun as the actual fighting, trying to figure out how to make everything fit (and yes, if your ship is really huge and unbalanced, it will handle like a truck.

The visuals, the game play, and everything the RedCabin team have added and improved on is amazing! Im so happy I got the chance to talk to the team and ask questions, and learn more about the game itself. These guys deserve all the praise they get when it comes to this game.
Pros: The game has great visuals, handing for both controller and mouse/keyboard, and fun game modes. The game challenges me all the time to do better as everyone who plays is put to the test during the daily challenge. Even the music and sounds are fantastic, and very relaxing to chill to.

Dashing Fire
Finding the game very fun, i haven’t beaten it yet but i find the game tense and tight. The design is very thoughtful and encourages tactical decision making. Also the art of the game is very nice. The few things i have against the game is I fins it much too easy to buy shortcuts before you’ve been to an area, practically disincentives playing the game, the other thing is that after playing for a while some of the areas can get quite repetitive. Other than those small gripes the games is great and would definitely recommend to any fans of rogue likes.

This is such a cool little indie game! It’s so worth it! It’s basically a point and click rogue-like but it has way more depth to it then just that. There are 4 worlds for you to discover and traverse around, each with their own unique gameplay mechanic. In each world, there are 3 levels which once completed you will face one of three random bosses for that area. If you complete all 4 worlds, you fight the final boss to complete the story but there is so much replayability as you can earn currency to spend on lore and short-cuts.

Simple Sky
Simple Sky is top-down twin-stick space-shooter/score-chaser with some unique ideas. The simple and bright artwork gives the game a friendly appearance, but after I headed into the main game, I quickly realized that it gives the player no quarter. There are 10 difficulty settings, and only two are unlocked in the very beginning. Well, so far, I have yet to unlock another. Please keep in mind that this game is in Early Access currently, and some of my discussion may be outdated by the time you are looking at the game.

Not only you can count on your trusty baseball bat to help you through, but you might even find a cool alternative with new original weapons such as a baseball bat, a laser gun and a… Yoyo?
Friendly Baddies
Even though you may exchange a few punches with your enemies, it doesn’t mean you guys can’t become friends. Have a few words with them when not fighting, and you may become best buddies! Maybe even more… Who knows?
Get Trendy
Even though you’ll probably die a lot, don’t expect your efforts to be in vain. Unlock upgrades and original attires in shops and express yourself with cool combinations of clothes and masks!
