DEMON’S TILT

DEMON’S TILT

The Developer has proved that the impossible can be achieved; to actually refine an already perfect game and make it even better with every subsequent update. Pinball goes back decades and the game that Demon’s Tilt is based on is actually around almost thirty years old. The Pc Engine hosted some amazing shooters (including it’s almost arcade perfect version of R-Type), Gunhed and the aforementioned Devil Crash, which was the best occult themed pinball game ever created and nothing could ever come close UNTIL Demon’s Tilt emerged nearly three decades on the heels of Devil Crash. Three decades is a very long time to wait for a worthy successor and surprisingly, nobody tried to replicate or improve on Devil Crash until now…first enter the developer of Demon’s Tilt and later the publisher who came on board and the game went from being pretty special to nigh-on-perfect with scaling, rotation, tons of large hand drawn sprites, shmup elements and the occult. Wow, this is like winning the lottery and every time you play this utterly stunning pinball game you are constantly rewarded with more discoveries and higher scores. The table is good stretching up three screens high and the mood is dark but when things liven up it does get hectic and very colourful. The music is straight out of a Megadrive/Genesis but the core game remains true to the Devil Crash formula. Occult pinball just got better and gets better with every update, the developer has to be seriously applauded for making the impossible happen, can you get better than perfect? He has proved that you can with a resounding YES. Every update of Demon’s Tilt either tweaks or adds something new. And we haven’t even left EA yet. For the price, you get the best pinball on Steam and for your time, you get happy memories created in seriously wanting to beat your high score again and again. Going retro with Occult Pinball with hints of Saturn, Neo Geo, and Playstation thrown in. The epitome of the perfect video pinball game 100/100 and it just keeps on getting better.

DEMON’S TILT

DEMON’S TILT is a retro-stylized pinball on a huge 3 sections table. I’ve played with Xbox controller and I believe it’s much more comfortable than keyboard for this game.

I can say only positive things about DEMON’S TILT:

  • Gameplay is very addictive and the game is a great fun for short playsessions

  • Cool music/sound effects

  • Game looks really good + there’s plenty of settings to adjust visuals/colours

  • I’m not super impressed by bosses in a current state, but the whole table in general is absolutely awesome.

This is a great platformer game, honestly you should get this game for it’s price. Great lore, well thought out platforming, fun combat with interesting enemies, for the most part great sound design, all around great game.

The only issue i have with the game is the sound that plays when you attack is a little harsh, i think it should be a quieter, more subtle sound that doesn’t drown out all other sounds and the music. 8/10 game.

If you’re not the bullet hell enthusiast, then you may stop reading this review right now. Just because, like any other bullet hell game out there, this one is not for you. At least, not yet. Bullet hell games are known to be (way) harder than regular SHMUPs and, even though this one is not the hardest one of the kind, you’ll still die a lot without having much fun. Sure, there are difficulty levels here, but… let’s just say that as long as you’re not an experienced SHMUP player, you’re not ready for this. You have been warned. Now, if you are a fan of such entertainment, then, I guess, one word will be enough for you to get the idea about what do we have here. The word is – cave. CAVE Interactive. Creators of the DoDonPachi, Ketsui and Mushihimesama series.

Deathsmiles is one of the few horizontal shooters by CAVE. Due to its unique nonlinear nature, it also happens to be one of their easier offerings, and therefore suitable for players new to the genre. It debuted in Japanese arcades in 2007, and was later released on iOS, Android, and Xbox 360. Thanks to Degica, it has now been released on PC as well. The Steam release includes normal, arcade, and 1.1 versions of both the original and MBL (Mega Black Label).

As the name suggests, the arcade versions have the same graphical appearance as the original arcade release. I could be mistaken, but as far as I know, normal mode is exactly the same as arcade mode except it features upgraded graphics. I purchased the game exclusively for the original versions of normal/arcade mode so I can’t say I have the knowledge to speak at length about 1.1 or MBL. From what I know, in 1.1 you have a greater degree of control over the character’s familiar. MBL is a different version of the game that features an additional playable character. What I do know, however, is that some or all of the modes of MBL are either missing slowdown or don’t have it at all. If you’re buying the game just to play anything other than the original version, I highly suggest exercising caution and doing some research. That said, the remainder of this review will be about the normal original version of the game.

Amazing!

I participated in the closed tests and it really is a game for those who enjoy challenges and strong emotions …

Not taking the save and dying … makes you think “Why, why didn’t I go to get the save first?”

The team is to be congratulated, the game was thought of details, paying attention to the paths, sounds and details of the environment really helps to prevent traps.

I took several scares … rsss

Very cool!

Congratulations!

A fresh take on the bullet hell/puzzle genre

At first glance, Good Knight looks messy/confusing/intimidating. But don’t let that stop you from enjoying the game for what it is: at its core a very challenging bullet hell that will make you come back for more.

The game’s premise is very, very, simple: it’s a one-button puzzle/bullet hell game. Your character is always on the move on the stage. You press a button, your character changes direction. That’s the basics! The key to progressing in the game is recognizing patterns and rhythms, knowing when to use the optional slowdowns, and dodging at the right time. The tutorial itself reinforces the fact that the mechanics are basic enough that it immediately throws you into the main game almost immediately. Side note: there may be a need to improve the tutorial instructions because I’ve seen a few players take a bit to figure out how to progress from it.

Spooky Bonus

Spooky Bonus

Spooky Bonus is a casual game that is set in a town called Old Town. This town has been haunted by an evil vampiress who is the cause of the strange things happening. It is up to you to take out the vampiress in various parts of Old Town by navigating the 100 levels of board matching 3s of candles, toads, cats, skulls and other enemies. Matching more than 3 of a kind results in bonus powerups that can be used to eliminate enemies on the board. Coins randomly come down to the board that will come in handy as part of the game’s currency.

AT A GLANCE:

4/5 Stars - I am partial to spooky Halloween games, so this one grabbed me and wouldn’t let go. For me, this game is awesome! The whole ambience of the game is what made it for me. Grey Alien Games did a great job on this title, and I would highly recommend it to anyone that enjoys a good match 3 game.

GAME GENRE:

Match 3, Casual, Time Management, Puzzle, Spooky, Indie, Single Player, Point & Click

GAME DESCRIPTION:

Release Date: Oct. 2015 - Spooky Bonus has 100 levels, two game modes (which are Casual and Timed), and a need to decorate your spooky house with items you collect and buy along the way. Throughout the game the levels get progressively harder, especially when playing in Timed Mode. A match 3 game is exactly what it sounds like, match 3 like objects in a row and those matches disappear. Continue matching till the quota for an object has been met. Bonus items, and power-up items are also available to use.

Decent old school shoot-em-up. This is not “bullet hell”.

Collect gold as you progress so when you die you can spend it for upgrades.

The upgrades save as you play, so the more you grind for gold, the more upgrades you can earn and make yourself stronger.

Achievements are easy to collect, although once you have 13/13 and steam recognises you have 13/13 it still does not count the game as completed, even though it says it is completed.

The game does not show up as completed nor does it show in “games” list on profile.
