Galactic Refugees
this is a really nice game with pretty widely varied difficulty settings and all original artwork and music. imo it’s simple, easy to pick up and go, and a lot of fun :3
a lot of the characters are cute and quirky, and there is plenty of solid shoot em up/bullet hell content.

Sparkles & Gems
A really special gem of a game with a perfectly consistent visual aesthetic and a rocking soundtrack. The match 3 puzzle mechanics alone are fresh but familiar. Treasure mode alone is just a fun grind that I can see myself putting a lot of time into in my future.
What makes this game something truly special and likely to make my game of the year list is the story mode. It drew me in quickly as I tried to understand what this game was. The writing feels familiar but also completely original. It’s strange reality depicted somehow feels more true to life than any ““realistic”” story game I’ve played. This game is really unique. Any point of comparison I can think of would be a disservice to just how special this game really is.

This game is like if Breakout, Bejeweled, and Tetris multiplayer had an orgy and made the ultimate casual game. Each element is familiar but put together really well in a way that makes it fresh and exciting. The gameplay is top notch and super addicting. Games can get really close, and there are often nail-biting moments where you think you’re screwed but barely come out on top. In addition the game is super satisfying to play, which I chalk up to the excellent sound design. Breaking gems and hitting combos never fails to scratch an itch. The music is also really catchy and gets stuck in your head quite easily.

Mon Amour
It’s more than just a flappy bird game, believe me or believe the other people who played it.
Mon Amour is a charming quirky game that has you collecting 50+ people and the princess by kissing, as long as you don’t get killed in the process. But if you do died you’re treated to an obituary that tells you how you died and you can how other people died, which very amusing. You can build up your heart to not only get a better score but clear large sections of the path or use fruits to clear your path.
– Real player with 10.9 hrs in game
Mon Amour is a simple, Flappy Bird-esque score attack game in which you guide the main character across the screen to smooch someone on the other side. There are obstacles to avoid, as well as power-ups and hearts to collect to increase your score. The game isn’t very difficult, but you will likely die a lot. The graphics are colorful and cute, accompanied by a catchy soundtrack. Fans of the developer will recognize their signature quirkiness on display here. Mon Amour is a fun little game with lots of replayability for a low price.

StarCrossed
All around an amazingly put together game:
*Beautiful artwork
*Catchy music
*The game play is challenging but fair (coming from a single player here, it hard).
*The story is already grabbing at me and I’ve only begun to get involved in the game play
*The playable characters seem to have diverse communications between each other depending on what ones you pick, very cool detail and well thought out
*The concept is simple, yet oddly satisfying as you crush every enemy on the screen before they fly away

Starcrossed – A Kitchy Shoot-Em-Up Adventure
Starcrossed is a co-operative arcade adventure set in space. The shoot-em-up style gameplay features five playable female characters with unique styles, personalities and abilities. They must collaborate and fight their way across the solar system to defeat the evil threat that looms over the Nova Galaxy!
Overall, Starcrossed is an enjoyable little game, it works well as a couch co-op but also provides a challenging singleplayer experience. The styling is very cutesy and probably not to everyone’s tastes and the narrative and characterisation leave a lot to be desired. However, I’d certainly recommend the game to anyone that enjoys space-themed arcade shooters and likes the idea of a magical girl aesthetic.

Welcome Back To 2007 2
Well I had fun.
The game feels like a joke, an inside joke that you are not in on, and was told in another language (russian)
The games titles welcome back to 2007, I dont know what is so 20007 about it. Emo subculture ?
You play as a dude named emo boy. I beat the game and still have no idea what the story is, you kill people and jump around. That is the game.
Controls are slippery, many deaths many deaths, enemy placement and obsticales feel unfare, you just have to brute force it. Also you have a jetpack, but the fuel runs out quickly. Once you run out of fuel you have to resart, the platforming is based on the jetpack. Also the controls for the jetpack are imprecise, many deaths, many deaths. This is a hard game.

◄Likes►
• Although a bit repetitive, the music is pretty bumpin'
• I enjoyed levels 6, 7, 11, 15, 16, 24 and 25 as they had interesting concepts or themes that the rest of the levels did not
◄Dislikes►
• Movement feels slippery
• Levels are long and loopy and start to feel similar as you progress
• Enemies are cardboard cutouts that do nothing but stand in your way for you to shoot
• Boss fights leave you feeling hollow as you just walk forward and shoot your way through
• Checkpoints can be far and few between

Welcome Back To 2007
Great Game . I mean it, you can just put your Brain on auto pilot, it’s a simple fun 2D platformer with a touch of challenge to it.This game has a funny atmosphere with a cool Sound Track.If you opt to get the original green light edition (Dlc) It’s like having two games in one(with different game mechanics).
For the price you can’t go wrong.
Ps- The platforming is a little slippery (But I still love it).
– Real player with 4.6 hrs in game
-
Shitty control: character automatically moving EVERY LEVEL CHANGES, EVERY SINGLE KEYS UNBIND AFTER you kill all enemies [you basically have to restart YOUR PC NOT THE GAME] (level 21 specifically).
-
Hard to tell where tf is your character every level changes because every platforms and spikes have same textures, made my eyes hurt.
-
Achievements constantly pop-up which block visions

ZONERS
Falling somewhere between air hockey, soccer, fighting games and a mad alien party…
In a parallel universe, in the distant future, in a Milky Way both familiar and not, the king of the galaxy, King Klianc IX, has let it be known that the next ZONERS Galactic Cup is approaching fast.
So now, the greatest gather once again to compete for the ultimate prize: A single wish of their choosing, to be granted by the cosmic King himself! With the fate of anything & everything up for grabs, it’s well and truly…TIME TO GET INTO THE ZONE!
WHAT IS ZONERS?
ZONERS is a fast paced, 1-on-1, Competitive Sports Action game, that aims to please casual and hardcore players alike!
Strike the ball with your melee, projectile, super and hyper moves, or dash to close the distance and activate a parry for a last second save and score in your opponent’s goal. Keep scoring quick enough and you’ll get rewarded with extra points and maybe even a satisfying Zone Break. But don’t let your guard down or give up, as the double scoring extra time, a shield tearing Hyper move or even a catastrophic own goal could flip the tables at the last second!
CHARACTERS LIKE NO OTHER
Featuring an eccentric cast of unusual characters to play as. From Urnest the old man trapped in yo-yoing 10 year old form as a ghost and the last human left, to a mad pinball collecting crab called Crabhammers, complete with a flying pinball bumper vehicle, to the mischievous scientist fairy Ringressa, whose research on portals continues to hide her mysterious lower half, to the genderless, sentient goo known as Gluup, that just really wants to give you a hug…explosively!
NOT QUITE THE GALAXY YOU KNOW…
It might be the Milky Way galaxy, but it certainly isn’t the one you know. A rich world of silliness lies before you, with little details to discover. Stages take place in all manner of weird and wonderful locations, and a central menu hub to navigate in the ZONERS HQ means ZONERS isn’t just about the tight, chaotic gameplay.
SIMPLE BUT DEEP
Every character shares the same simple inputs, but has access to wildly different stats, spins and abilities. Focus and timing can mean the difference between a score topping Zone Break or a heart-breaking own goal! It might look like tennis, yet with every character having access to ranged moves in their arsenal, there’s always an opportunity to keep on the pressure. How do you break your opponents line when every character is over powered?
ACCESSIBILITY & CUSTOMISATION
A wealth of profile based accessibility options that can be accessed in any mode and will develop even further alongside community feedback makes sure that players of not only different skill levels, but physical capability can easily jump in and have their fun with as little hassle as possible!
Further more, with the ability to create and save your own custom rulesets, there’s almost endless fun to be had. From basic mode settings like time or score rule sets and round numbers or lengths, to more wacky changes like directional based ball gravity and even multi ball, you’re sure to find something to tickle your fancy!
#### ZONERS is mostly the work of one person, Paris Stalker, featuring fantastic original new music from a range of specially handpicked artists such as CRYSTALBOY, Funk Fiction, RoBKTA, Shadow Mantra Steve, ViRiX Dreamcore & Vector U and quality SFX from Max Newton
