Blood of Darkness
Initially I expected more, but considering the cost of the game - I can say for sure that this is a pretty good choice of indie games if you are a fan of this genre.
If you’re not a fan of the genre - you can’t understand the game, but you won’t be dissatisfied, that’s for sure.

Of course, there are some bugs with textures, something like this, but the game is new and I think that developers will do everything to avoid the appearance of bugs for their players. Moreover, please add multiplayer game mode - it will be much more funny to play this game with friends.
Talking about the game personally - As for 2D shooter this game is really excellent, specific atmosphere, big attention to all details, many options.
It’s a real HARDCORE, as the game is very dynamic, permanent enemies and fights.

Sunday Rivals
Another update to the game, another update to this review!
TLDR: My play time speaks for itself. It’s very fun with a TON of replayability but it does lack a few features at the moment (but that’s going to change in the future once more updates release)
Pros:
-Loads of customization (players, teams, stadiums, leagues, jerseys, gameplay sliders, coaching strategies, and even playbooks as of the most recent update)
-Great gameplay
-Customizable Season Mode with full custom league support
-Share your custom leagues/teams and try out others' (albeit not via workshop)

The game is very simple right now, but it’s super fun to play. I’m really looking forward to the planned features.
EDIT: The Headhunter mode just released and it really adds to the replay value of the game. The mode allows you to “lead your favorite team through a 4 game, single-elimination tournament while racking up points using a fantasy football-style scoring system”; and let me tell you, that extra scoring system makes the game so much more fun than it already was. You can compare your scores from your own Headhunters runs and with your friends runs. I’d imagine the game’s Discord server would be a great place to do it: http://discord.gg/dSuMe5w

6.2/10 - 1920’s Mafia Pixel Platformer with Elements of Noir
I had fun with this game, but I got it for free prior to the finalization of the game I assume since the release now says July 16. I received the game from an unknown friend*, they made a point to say they weren’t affiliated with the developer but I have my suspicions, especially since I played it over a month ago… Regardless, it was fun!
The game is a pretty simple Pixel/Platformer shooter. You must traverse 7 stages using only a few guns of choice; certain guns are more effective against different enemies so don’t get too attached to a single weapon. You will be taking down the mafia in this short but sweet game; it took me about 35 minutes to complete it. So at $2, be aware of the game’s length, but if you like platformers I think you’ll dig this.

The game is balanced in difficulty almost perfectly (for me at least). Others may find this game too easy I found it just challenging enough.
-
This is Top 5 in terms of action platformers I’ve played on Steam so far. Just so you know where I’m coming from some other great ones are DuckTales Remastered, Metal Slug (Series), Mutant Mudds Deluxe, & Tiny Barbarian DX.

Rot Gut could’ve used controller support.
Bottom line this game is worth the time it takes to play and the price being asked.

Tightrope Walking
Thank you so much for making this game. I found this masterpiece while dumpster diving and found gold. After the 3.6 hours of playing I finally beat this master piece of a beautiful game. All of these levels were made with care (except the office 2 level). It was a challenge I have to admit but after falling and falling and falling, I finally beat it. I love every level and I will go into detail:
SPOILER WARNING
Level 1: the introduction. It shows how to play the game in an important place, the forest. This level is great because it shows the iconic tightrope and will teach you how to balance.

CARNAL
My opportunity to play CARNAL has come after hearing about it in the E1M1 Magazine blog. It sure does look and feel retro, but here are my ups and downs
Pros
-Neat and effective weaponry
-Diverse enemy lineup from your usual soldiers with weapons to T-Rexes with rocket launchers and self-operated lawn mowers, PLUS shopping carts with minds of their own
-Nice level visuals, giving the atmosphere of a pretty desolate environment overrun by the Sons of Anak clan
-Retro soundtrack, ranging from Quake levels of ambience to intensely amazing bangers

I like this game’s graphical style and level design (at least it’s not another ‘abstract sci-fi levels’ style retro-FPS) and there are many enemy types, but the whole game desperatly needs some polish.
The protagonist’s ‘pain sound’ is atrocious and the controls are sometimes very bad, you have to press jump to go up on a staircase, etc.
The enemies are too small and too silent (and too dumb) and technically they aren’t hitscan, but almost.
I understand that the creator of this game wants a life system instead of saving, but the game is way too hard in this way.

Abyss of Death
Unfortunately I’m not first ;c But anyway the game itself is rather nice. It still could be better but i enjoyed it. After playing for 1h i completed only 4 levels so there is a lot more to do for me ;p (based on the “20 levels” trailer ). I found about this game on reddit when devs posted some test trailer or smth, i was like - “well let’s add this to wishlist it’s not so expensive” and to be honest i don’t regret this (yes i only played 1h as for now but the gameplay is good anyway). When it comes to the Devs studio (“Vainture studio” as they call it ) after some research (visiting their socials xd) i found that’s their first game so :

Crowalt: Traces of the Lost Colony - Prologue
Beautiful, creative game. I had fun playing, I’ve been following the team for a while, I’m sure the game will improve.
Sounds are really professional, I would even buy some of them to listen all day long.
In my hands our main character would definitely get pneumonia.
Also we won’t get along with the eagle in the main menu of the game, when I try to pet his head, he is turning his head :( … maybe he is trying to tell me something… maybe we will see that in the next episode… I’m very excited.

Interesting enough, it has the potential to be a solid point-and-click adventure game if the story’s done proper. There are a few issues though, mainly the grammar. There are a good number of grammatical errors. Misspellings, (not mentioning the pirates), odd spacing between letters, even a line of dialogue where an S is on the wrong word where it was meant to be at the end of the previous word.
I’m not trying to sound like a grammar freak, it’s just since text is the main way the game communicates with the player, it’s gotta be solid for it to stick. It honestly feels like they ran the text through Google Translate, or maybe a less experienced translator working on the English text?
