Great roguelike game with a considerable amount of content for an early access. Play style revolves around obtaining masks each of which offers their own moveset and special abilities. Powerups that upgrade passives and items that give unique effects can also be found along the way. Game gets progressively intense and fast pace like most other action roguelike games with stronger enemies appearing/hoarding you.

Only downsides are level design and lack of sound effects/music. Visually levels look great but level design can be simplified into an open area with spots that I can walk in and spots that I can only temporarily walk around in. Cause of this levels hold little differences besides enemies, chests, alters. Later levels do have more gimmicks in terms of level design but it would be nice to see an improvement on this in general.

Nongunz: Doppelganger Edition

Nongunz: Doppelganger Edition

Nongunz at first just looks like your everyday shooty-platformer-roguelike but… it does very interesting and unique things that change the usual dynamics for these games, e.g. it uses some kind of idle economy that lets you buy stuff before starting a run based on the amount of prisoners you have liberated on previous attempts or it lets you bail out in the middle of a run while keeping the items you’ve found so you can start over with them, encouraging farming…

It gets weirder though and the more you look at it the weirder stuff you are going to find, especially since it’s intentionally very obscure and it takes time to decypher some of the stuff that is going on. I think it’s definitely worth a shot if someone is interested in how this kind of mash-up can affect a pretty known genre like the roguelike and it definitely becomes its own thing with these additions. I enjoyed it a lot.

Nongunz: Doppelganger Edition released recently, and I wanted to post a positive review about it. I dont actually have much more to say other than I feel like this version is more fine tuned than the original in a few different ways. The game seems at least a little bit more accessible, even if this new version does have a bit more bugs than the original release.

The things id like to point out specifically in why I like the game are mostly style choices, sound and visual design seemed dark and unique at the time, and very minimal game systems in play made for a unique experience for this indie title when it first released years ago.

Post Void

Post Void

You run fast, shoot baddies in the face, get an adrenaline rush from the music, and don’t know what emotion to feel or if the emotion needed to fully enjoy this experience even exists. Just like me when McDonald’s won’t let me bathe my naked body in the sods dispenser.

Well, finally completed the game so i assume that makes me creditable for a review.

This game is amazing. Absolutely Amazing. When you first play it, you have no idea where to go and the bright colors distort your eyes. As you play, you get more used to the game and layout, speeding through levels that you struggled with at the beginning. Going through the levels themselves is a huge adrenaline rush due to how fun and fast paced this game is. Would most definitely recommend it to any other adrenaline junkies like me. 10/10 Indie GOTY for me.

Flappy Shooter

Flappy Shooter

Flappy shooter is somewhat reminiscent of the game Flappy bird, but here you need to fly and also shoot from a weapon that, by the way, shoots by itself, and you just need to aim, in principle, the game is interesting for several hours

Real player with 3.0 hrs in game

A kind of flappy bird with mods. A simple and fun game that’s great if you want to kill time. It is quite difficult, I could not go through much. It has cute graphics, in-game achievements, and is inexpensive. I can recommend it.

The Ice Caves

The Ice Caves

I think it is a good game, with lot of potential. I had fun playing it, but you really notice, that its early, early acces. Here are some Ideas for the game:

Something like a doppel jump, or a dash, for mobilite.

A shop.

Varios items, like gold, health, munition,…

All in all, i had fun playing the game, and i can suggest everyone to play it.

Real player with 0.6 hrs in game

ok, hear me out.

this game is an amazing concept, and it’s fun, but it’s not out yet :(

but, seriously, cinnamancer studios (not like your going to read this) please buff the shotgun! in it’s current state it might as well be a melee weapon, that doesn’t register half the time, but a melee weapon would be great when you’re out of ammo (wink wink nudge nudge). and also maybe add light to guns when they shoot? not a necessity, just a suggestion. and maybe add recoil to guns, that knocks your character back? maybe you can even hover/glide with the recoil? again, all of these are just suggestions, but please, if you do anything BUFF. THE. SHOTGUN,

Vapormaze

Vapormaze

Vapormaze can be rough around the edges but overall it is a great game and even greater rouge-like. I feel as though the game has a high-ish skill ceiling, as certain mechanics, movement, and gunplay are hard to nail down at first. However, if you continue playing you’ll find that the mechanics become second nature and are fun to use. The game also exceeds aesthetically, as the world and the music are quite unique and different to many other games I have played. The atmosphere of this game is probably its greatest achievement. There are certain mechanics that can be a bit finicky or sometimes annoying, but overall the game is a relaxing and fun experience. I would recommend this game to anyone who is into other rouge-like titles (although I will say this game is a tad bit overpriced, maybe wait for a sale).

Do you love the OG FPS roguelite HEAVY BULLETS? Do you love the dulcet tones of WINDOWS96?

I do! So I had to pick it up!

TLDR is that I recommend it if you like the aesthetic,and are ok with a work in progress. Otherwise you might find this frustrating.

There are definitely bugs and control issues. But there is also an undeniable quality and craft present as well. I think the good out weights the bad, and the bad will probably get fixed

-STRAY THOUGHTS (can’t really say PROS or CONS just yet)
