Headbangers in Holiday Hell
Headbangers in Holiday Hell is your personal christmas elves h0locaust.
A place where you can show your christmas appreciation with bullets: 1 bullet = 1 appreciation.
Let me tell you a story. My 2 years old son loves christmas elves because every morning he finds a candy in the christmas sock.
“My dear child”, I’d love to say - “That’s not elves, It’s daddy.”
“Daddy buys candies with his precious, hard-earned money, and leaves them to you instead of eating them. And believe me, daddy loves chocolate.”

Bought this game as a favour to a friend, not expecting a tonne of satisfaction as its quite a departure from my usual fare.
It has completely exceeded my expectations and the last few days when opening steam this has been the game I’ve wanted to play. I also very desperately want to nuke Santa. His carpet bombing is THE WORST.
The theming is in your face, the price is low. Give it a crack you might just like it as much as I did.

Lucky Tower Ultimate
You can play a very early prototype of the game right now. The prototype will allow a glimpse into the first segment of the game. The final version will be vastly improved and expanded in the coming years, so we are eager for feedback! A link to the Discord can be found in the Steam forums.
Lucky Tower Ultimate is a humor driven, narrative roguelike. The narcissistic, clumsy knight Von Wanst attempts to escape a mysterious tower in an absurd adventure. On each of the tower’s floors you’ll need to decide between three doors that reveal deadly traps, monsters, or even other prisoners that might join his escape party.
Everything and everyone reacts to the way you treat them and thus shapes your adventure for better or worse. Selfishly slash your way down and use your companions to your advantage or safely reach the ground together as a team.
Fueled by sassy slapstick humor and hand drawn graphics, the game has each run feel like an immersive cartoon.
Up for grabs - good for stabs!

There’s tons of characters in the adventure alphabet!

Castle Heck
Castle Heck is a procedurally generated dungeon crawler that combines elements you love from Metroidvania with the chaos of Enter the Gungeon. You’ve arrived with several adventurers into a place not quite as bad as Hell – but Heck! Fight through the dungeon and face your inner demons to escape. Select a hero and melee and magic your way through 5 levels of Heck for a chance of redemption. The enemies you face will be the most slightly menacing and mild mannered enemies you will ever have the pleasure of encountering.
Playable characters: Playable characters include those that although haven’t lived a sinful life, yet have not lived the most pristine life either, including, a used car salesman with the most deceitful of used car sales tactics. Use their unique skills to help survive through all levels of Heck.
Weapons: Over hundreds of custom weapons to find and unlock. From infernal flame swords to impotently weak poisonous knuckles, you’ll find epic loot and just some plain stupid as you traverse through the Levels of Heck.
Combat: Imagine Dark Souls but in top down. Combat is skill based and requires players to perfect their timing with perfect dodges, shielding and backstabs. Roll your way to victory!
Heck: Heck contains 5 mind-numbingly difficult levels all procedurally generated to ensure a unique experience for every new run. Complete all levels for a chance of redemption, but fail and perish and you must start all over! But don’t fret! Unlocks and secrets you find through your adventure of Heck will remain with you to help you along in your grueling quest towards vindication.

Project Starship X
Oh boy, Project Starship X. Now what do we have here? There’s a lot to be said about this one, so I’ll try to structure it at least half-competently.
First off: If there’s any risk at all that you could have problems with photosensitivity, this isn’t the game for you. The game’s a giant seizure hazard, your health is important.
Second: gameplay. While I don’t have much experience with what defines a “CAVE Shooter”, I have it on good authority that it involves good music, upgradable shots, looping, multi-stage boss battles, and insanely fast bullets. Most of these can be found here, except perhaps that last one – enemy bullet patterns are usually pretty easy to recognize, and most of the difficulty comes from the quantity of bullets instead. While the roguelike elements seem reasonably well-implemented, it’s not quite bug-free, and only one or two of the most game-changing items seem to appear every run. Some items can also be quite heavy on the processing power… These don’t hold the gameplay back from being satisfying almost every time though. I’ve yet to find an upper limit on how many times I’m willing to smash a spaceship into an eldritch abomination’s rough approximation of a face.

Excellent Shmup! Very accessible to newbies of the genre, but still provides a solid challenge. Tons of twists and turns, with humour that’ll keep you interested until the end, and the other end…and…yeah.
Music is great, especially some of the tracks that play on level 4. Gameplay/hitboxes are solid and fair (though one of the unlockable modes can have unfair combinations, but it’s minimal for a procedurally generated shmup). The boss design is great too, both the visual designs and the bullet patterns.
