Mrs.Cat In Mars
Very fun, innovative mechanics and well balanced levels, the music is very nice and the cat is very cute and I recommend it for anyone who likes a good precision platform game

In general the game is quite enjoyable but something I consider a huge disadventage is controls. Jumping in some cases requires absurd precision, also maybe it’s just me but moving platforms are a huge pain. This two problems make “catrunner” achivment a terrible experiance.
If you are looking for a nice, cheap, short platforming game than this game is for you, but it’s nothing in compare to Celest or N-game2 (it’s free, not on Steam)
Also the cat is cute

Microgravity
Consider VVVVVV instead.
Microgravity attempts to copy and simplify the magic of VVVVVV. It fails. Holding up or down for too long causes you change gravity twice, screwing up whatever play you were attempting and effectively ruining what might have otherwise been a perfectly mediocre game. I can’t find any way to exit the game besides force-quitting, nor is there a volume control. Unless an update improves the mechanics, hard pass on this one.

Cats In Space
Cats In Space is adventure and arcade game with a little storyline. In game you are taking control of two cats : Gray and Orange (You are able to dress them up in warderobe) . In space you need to move without gravitation and the only help is that you can stop by using “freeze” skill. You will have to fight against aliens, avoid traps and collect collectibles. In game there is four modes listed. Carrer (over 30 levels), Time attack, Online PvP and Level constructor! You will have fun while helping the main characters.
Career : This is main mode with the storyline. You are playing as a two cats in space. Compared to other modes this one does not count time, but draws attention to : full life, if alarm has been turned on, if star has been found.
Time Attack : Those stages has been designed to slow you down as much as it’s possible. Now you don’t need to worry about buttons or collectable objects, but especially for your life and time. You can use this mode to play against your friend offline on one computer by comparing time.
Online PvP : There you can search for opponent or play with friend. The faster and more precise player will win! Just type a room name with you would like to connect/create or leave it empty to join random room.
Level Constructor : In this mode you can construct levels by yourself. You have plenty of options available to modificate gameplay and a lot of object to put on scene. This mode is under improve so some things might not work correctly and sharing online with friends isn’t possible (what i’m working on ☺ ).
Jetscout: Mystery of the Valunians
I’m really enjoying this. The controls are tight, the collision detection is sharp, and there are many fun challenges that totally keep me on my toes.
There are levels that I have to play over and over and OVER, but it’s really satisfying to beat them.

I can vaguely remember playing a game much like this one a looooooong time ago, but Jetscout takes it to the next level. Awesome range of levels, monsters, challenges, and innovative mechanics. Not quite finished yet and thoroughly enjoying it. Took me two days to get past the third mission but then I was hooked! Original take on the genre featuring dynamic environments, monsters, and innovative use of the jetpack. Real nail-biter. Superb.

The Alien Way
single button press runner with a flappy bird style level every few levels
to change skins, click on the runner when on the main menu
short levels with no checkpoints and 1 hit deaths
only 30 levels
you can pay points to revive, but it sends you back to the beginning of the level? the only difference is you keep all the things you picked up
when you pause and unpause the game will give you a 3 second timer until it starts back up but the timer never goes away and just keeps counting down 3 2 1 3 2 1 3 2 1 3 2 1 3 2 1 3 2 1

Panic Attack
Lucky me gets to write the first review for Panic Attack, which is a simple 2D retro pixel shooter/brawler. Control a lulzy retro pixel astronaut and shoot aliens on different platforms, try not to get shot, and avoid the inexplicable crosshairs that floats towards and kills you if you stay in it.
The game is garbage and also buggy, I was unable to exit the first level despite killing the baddies. A little bit of testing goes a long way. They chose to use obsolete retro pixel “art” as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It’s unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. Resolution and controls are locked. These flaws push this game far below minimum acceptable standards for PC.

Spinstar
Spinstar is a precision puzzle platformer where you must use your ability to alter gravity in order to successfully navigate increasingly-challenging levels. Obstacles ranging from deadly lasers to reams of spikes to moving platforms that provide more danger than safety await you!
Become a Spinstar!
You play as young Izzy, a being from a race of creatures called Gyroms, of whom some possess the power to change how gravity affects themselves.
Guide Izzy through The Trials, a series of perilous tests designed to prove which Gyroms are worthy of the most coveted of titles, that of Spinstar.
But be careful; not everything may be as it seems…
By People Who Love Games, for People Who Love Games
Spinstar was created by an international team of game enthusiasts who had one goal: Make something fun for everyone! Our designers have carefully constructed each and every level to make sure we hit that goal! The challenge increases with each level, and so does the fun!
Beautiful Pixel Art Style
Enjoy the colourful levels and environments, each hand-crafted by talented artists that will have you reliving the platformers of the 80s and 90s.
Music to Inspire
The music of Spinstar serves to underscore the tension as well as a feeling of awe, created just for the game.
Abduction Bit
I like this game because it has a very simple 80s platform style. It reminded me of an 80s platformer called Hunky Egg (which apparently was a rip off of Chunky Egg). It’s basic gaming before games were simulations. It’s certainly not near the best of it’s genre. But it’s fun and annoying with it’s demands for precision in your jumps. Well gamers under 35 want to play such a game? I’m not sure. Actually I’m not sure how many over 35 would want to play such a game
One reviewer said it’s buggy. It’s more a case of every jump has to be perfect down to the milimetre while timing baddies perfectly, which is very frustrating. You die very easily in this game. I had to forget playing the game at any type of pace because of this if I wanted to progress. Like 80s games once you’re out of lives you start again at the very beggining. Which is also annoying. Because I probably will never finish it.

This is great little gem for fans of the golden age of arcade games. Particularly those early Nintendo releases(Donkey Kong, Popeye, Mario Bros.), as this is heavily modeled after those games. You can expect simple gameplay, high difficulty, and a surprisingly large amount of replayability. There are two packs(8-bit and 16-bit) with 20 levels each, which can be played on one of 3 difficulties. I’ve finished both packs on each difficulty, which took me about a month to get all the achievements(granted, I was juggling 3 other games at the same time). It’ll keep you busy for longer than you would expect.
