Beautycopter
Another short charmer from the Deity Driving dev; the same good vibe of aesthetic absurdity in the environments and comedic sincerity from the characters, now with a mix of 3D environments and… whatever you call first-person 2D exploration.
When people say “I want shorter games with worse graphics”, this is what I’m hoping for more of (although let’s say “simpler graphics”, for anyone who conflates ‘graphics’ with ‘visuals’.)

The game is good especially the music and the text to speech voice acting add to the atmosphere. The story is quite obscure, you explore the world with your Beautycopter, do some missions, and help some guests. The aesthetics add to the weirdness with the use of fake 3d.
The game is short and simple, you cannot save progress so you need to play the game in one go. There are a lot of funny achievements. This is definitely in the veins of Deity Driving in terms of style.

Bee Simulator
Bee Simulator, a cute game that helps you understand just what a bee goes through, an insect that helps to pollinate so many flowers and plant life so well, better than any other insect out there and how the world around them affects their livelyhood and natural habitat. This game has a decent take on the world of bees with a nice couple of mini games that flesh it out for you.
Just a quick disclaimer: I rarely swear in a review, but this game deserves it. I’ve got a lot of patience for games as I try almost all the games out there, but fuck man, this game got me upset at stages.

The game is mostly minigames. The main story and side quests have variation from the minigames, so it’s not just those. But most of your time in the game will be minigames. I gave this a negative review, but it wasn’t too bad of a “time waster” game.
Races you fly through blue rings to follow/catch another flying insect. There are speed boost pickups to slightly fill your speed boost gauge, and slowdown pickups to avoid. If you miss a ring you lose a failure token, but you must go through the next ring or lose. There are also obstacles throughout the “courses”. The “Easy” difficulty is super easy and short. The “Hard” version is much longer and needs more skill.

D.E.E.P.: Battle of Jove
D.E.E.P. Battle Of Jove is an epic, fast, arcade-type campaign-based dogfighter that aims to take next-gen graphics & controls to achieve an experience that gamers have known since Star Fox: an easy to pick-up single player shooter where players chose from different ships they can upgrade as they take the role of one of the members of the rebellion in a fight against a power, deep AI.
FUN:
If terminal velocity is your thing and barrel-rolling is your middle name, DEEP is what you’re looking for. Shake off enemies tailing you by doing a loop, maneuver thru giant space constructs near Jupiter or rocky corridors planet-side, use your homing missles to target the next enemy while speeding past your ally mothership.
THE DEPTH:
Choose from different ships that range from the speedy scout, the tank-like Crusher or the balanced Raven. These ships can be upgraded and customized both in terms of functionality (weapons, engines) as well as comestics, to be obtained by completing missions or getting achievements.
THE NOT’s:
Altho it might look like other games in DEEP there is no open-world, no rogue-like elements and no procedurally generated anything: All the levels are hand-made put together, following a retro-strand of space games while featuring all the next-gen shine and splendor you’d want why defying the skies.
THE STORY:
D.E.E.P. will tell of a rebellion taking place in the Jovian System, where the player is part of a rebellion, resisting and battling against the ever-increasing all-knowing all-controlling mega AI called D.E.E.P.-Brain. Thru the 8-hour long campaign players will start out as veterans turned rebel,

Fast Wings
This is a hard one. It’s not bad, but it was intended for the phone. The gameplay loop is based on playing for a minute or two at a time which is perfect for the phone and bad for a PC.
On the other hand this isn’t the typical phone port trash. There is a decent game in here, but it is still a game for phones. I would recommend it for the phone, but I can’t find it on the Android app store. I looked for the developer and I don’t even know if I found them, there are at least 2 different companies that could have made this game and neither list it on their website.

Adriatic Pizza
This game delivers on all of its promises, and more. I was sold on just the premise of flying a sea-plane and making pizza, but there was unexpected depth in the form of small quests given to you by the inhabitants of the disparate islands.
The flying mechanics feel like a dream. Splashing down to land is great. Being able to navigate with just a compass and paper map is fun and manageable.
The visuals and soundtrack complement each other very well.
Would definitely recommend.

Airport Madness 3D
Some would call me a hardcore Airport Madness fan. They are probably right. I’ve poured hundreds of hours into this franchise from the PC browser days, to the mobile apps, to the standalone PC versions, and on to repurchasing and clocking hours on the other 4 titles here on Steam. The developer himself is an air traffic controller, and I’ve probably dealt with more digital aircraft than he’s handled real planes. (Although he has a much better safety record than I do!).. So I openly admit that even as a 33 year old man, I giggled like a strange psychotic Schoolgirl when this game was announced.

I’m biased because I have all Airport Madness games. Airport Madness 3D could not be missing in the collection so i was fortunate to get the game as a birthday present.
If you have played previous versions of Airport Madness, the game play won’t be that different. You need to click slightly below the airplane to get the menu and in my experiance the sky cam view is the best way to play. Tower view is my second choice.
Although the game is not yet bug-free, i can’t think of a big negative (yet). The positive is future airport additions and of course the possible addition of the workshop. Looking forward of spending more time in the game.

Airport Madness 4
First thing. English is not my native language so dont go full gramar nazi on me.
Second thing. It seems i have the most hours by far in this game . Close to 300 (292 so far)
So. you may think. WHY THE HELL DID HE PLAY THAT GAME FOR FUCKING 300 HOURS!?
I tell you why. its great to keep you busy. sure. its easy and its simple, grafics are meh and you only guide planes (or let them land by default) to a runway. taxi them back towards the runway and tell them when to take off. sure the helicopter adds a bit since you have one thing besides the planes to keep in mind. not a big deal right?

I think this is one of those games you enjoy or you don’t. Grab a demo oir watch a bit of a play through on youtube.
It is not overly great in graphics, and features a top down view of an airport. There are only 6 levels (airports) so it’s a game that you could complete in a day. It is very much like a flash adobe type of game.
Its effectively managing planes landing and taking off and avoiding crashes, including on criss crossing runways. There are time trials, 100 plane movements (ie: combined take off and landings) and an open ended best score unlimited time. A few different personalities to give you an extra crash or slower speed when you want to slow a plane down.

Dune Sea
A relaxing side scrolling game set in a visually attractive world, with a soundtrack that promotes a calm and casual play style.
Controls feel more natural using a controller as opposed to a keyboard and are indeed solid. The only issue I had during play was the camera placement, which is a small negative and doesn’t take away from what this game is about.

Dune Sea is a wholesome, zen little side-scrolling game where players take on the role of a Goose trying not to fucking die, well at the same time bringing back some life to a desolate desert.
The soundtrack is helps me get in the gliding mood, the controls are floaty but not too unruly and it’s got a quite beautiful low-poly world. If you’re looking for a game to kill an evening just zoning out and flying this is your game.

Exo One: Prologue
It’s a demo/prologue. Runs/sessions are 7 1/2 minutes each maximum.
If you pause the game and restart the level before that time limit you can keep the game running forever.
Put your own music on with songs less than 7 1/2 minutes and restart after every song and you’ll be at it for a while.
Grab a wireless controller. Get up, move with the ball, qigong it. (somebody else mentioned smoke: Double Plus Recommend for Double Plus Good time)
I have actually played that many hours. (That could be the review itself.)

Easter egg alert:
! Press the F9 key in-game a couple times, wink wink.
Actual review:
The creativity and absolutely incredible graphics of this game are unlike anything I’ve ever seen. It’s one of those demo games you simply must try in order to understand their thrill and appeal. The scattered elements of an intriguing storyline give me hope for a deeper meaning to the game, apart from admirable beauty and fun mechanics. If you’re considering installing this art piece, go for it as soon as possible. I guarantee you, you will not regret it. Kudos to the developers for making such an eye-catching yet undemanding masterpiece, looking forward to the full version.

FIRE TRUMP - Air Combat VR
Headset: Oculus Rift S & Touch controllers.
Couldn’t move the plane. I grabbed the flight stick and pushed it forward, pulled it back, tilted it and pushed every single button on my controller but nothing happened. The game flashes bright red in your eyes when getting attacked.
