Nice game. I you are into arcanoid clones, you gotta love it. It’s probably the best arcanoid clone on Steam.
Pros:
-
interesting levels with multiple horizontal and vertical paddles
-
upgrades purchasable for coins collected on levels
-
adjustable ball speed at any time (standard speed was to hard for me)
Cons:
- no mouse control, only keyboard or gamepad.

Arcana Heart 3 LOVEMAX SIXSTARS!!!!!! XTEND
Warning: The netcode is delay based and current population of regulars is maybe 10 people max (including myself) who are pretty chill but kinda insular, who also happen to have solid connections with each other (mostly). The patch notes for Xtend are available, but the Mizuumi section for Xtend is largely barren. The game is also apparently tied to your monitor refresh and needs to be capped through external methods. The training is lackluster and does not not natively have a input display.
Turn back now if these factors are a turn off, or just plain inconvenient - which is entirely reasonable.

This has probably been my favorite surprise-release of 2017, at least in the fighting game genre, since I had no idea this game existed, let alone was going to be released.
Now, despite the fact that I am a big fan of games like Nitro+, UNIEL, Aquapazza, Melty, etc, I never really got into AH3LM. The main reason was likely because, at the time I picked it up on Steam, barely anyone played, and those who did would body someone like me before I could even confirm anything. The other problem was, while I could get my friends interested enough to try out BlazBlue, or UNIEL, or even Nitro+, for some reason, no one would give AH3LM a try for some reason. So, since I was limited to continual training for the off chance of an online match, or single player modes, I had pretty much dropped the game, except for the occasional itch for something different.

Thought i doesn’t have a lot of content at the moment it is a great game to play with the family. Thought this game is labeled as multiplayer(Online). You must have more than one controller and a person who’s willing to play, because if not this game is completely pointless to have. This is the game’s only downfall, I hope that in the future they will add AI players that you can compete against. Also that the moment there is a limited amount of content, but I’m sure it will be expanded upon in the future. I can’t wait to see what’s in store. Btw, by 9 year old niece endorses this game. :) For that I recommend this game for people who have siblings, or friends are are willing to play. When you do have people to play with, this game is a blast!

Log Jammers
Log Jammers is basically pong with throwing axes and log rolling which is exactly as intense as it sounds. Add in a series of power-ups that force you to go right up to the metaphorical net or risk a super charged challenger, and you have something that can only be described as frenzied.
That sort of fast-paced, reaction-based craziness is always going to be more fun with friends, but the single player tournament mode has plenty to offer too. Each character has an off the wall motivation and an equally off-color happily ever after waiting for them at the end of a successful tournament. But just like a multiplayer match, you’ll have to be focused and quick to get there. After all, you’re always only three good throws away from victory, yours or your opponent’s.

Kinda like pong, but not - in fact, it’s full of way more RAD than pong could ever have. Lumberjacks, bears, skeletons and more, couch fighting in waters, sawmills, underworld; crazy frustrating fun!

Landflix Odyssey
2020 Speedy Review Cleanup
Do I highly recommend this game? No.
But Landflix Odyssey is interesting solely for its parody aspects about the shows. Each show has its own mechanics so that it doesn’t feel like you’re doing the same thing throughout the game.
Worth a try on sale if you’re interested in the show aspects. If you don’t care about the shows, probably look elsewhere.

This is a very fun, very traditional platformer where you get to explore your favorite TV Worlds! :) :) )

Night of the Blood Moon
I got the game on the Halloween sale for 79 cents, and since it was sitting in my wishlist for a while i thought i’d finally buy it. Absolutely not disappointed. The design and graphics are simple but really good, the gameplay is smooth, controls are easy to get used to, the game provides a fair difficulty and my god, the music. I personally put a lot of value in a good soundtrack and notBM did anything but let me down on that one. Real banger. Bit disappointed the soundtrack from the trailer isnt in, or i missed it, though i’ve finished the game before, but either way the game is definitely worth it and fully recommend buying it.

Review:
Tight twinstick frenetic action roguelite that reminds me of games like Enter the Gungeon and Binding of Isaac. Easily recommended!
This game has solid and precise mouse/keyboard controls, a catchy soundtrack, uniformly beautiful pixel art and animation, and most of all, a fun game loop.
You’re basically a psychotic road runner that invades dreams and beats up cute and adorable stuff, which you accomplish with your fists or with one of a few different ranged weapons including a boomerang, crossbow, hookshot, magical orb, and more.
