502’s Arcade

502’s Arcade

502’s Arcade is an anthology of fast paced arcade games where your goal is to reach the top of the leaderboards in each one. The games go from a dungeon crawler set in a procedural generated temple where you have to seal spirits, to a cute but challenging puzzle where you have to prepare the orders of a very hectic potions shop. Come and get that good old feeling of competition you got when going to the arcade, or just have fun and challenge yourself by trying to get all the achievements for each game.

  • TIMELESS ACTION - The games are designed to be engaging right from the start, it’s up to you if you want to play for just a few minutes or maybe a few hours!

  • HIGH REPLAYABILITY - Master all of the games at your own pace, some will be easier, some will be harder, but practice will take you far. You’ll also get plenty of achievements to challenge yourself while at it!

  • PAST MEETS PRESENT - Bringing you back to that feeling of being just a few points away of the top score, but now with Daily, Weekly and All time leaderboards, you have a reason to keep coming back to try to best others and yourself.

  • AWESOME SOUNDTRACK - Whether you’re fighting frantically with some aliens or comfortably solving some puzzles, each game has the perfect music for it.

JETBOY

JETBOY

Saw this on the new releases page for 5$ and said “why not”

Turns out it was a pretty good decision.

It’s a very simple game. Each level has basically the same objective. Bring back a set number of collectibles to the ship and then leave. Each level provides you with a weapon you also have to collect as it spawns randomly in the level most of the time. All of this to some pretty decent tunes.

You have a jetpack with fuel that replenishes slowly when on the ground and 3 hit points.

There are a few power up and gimmicks like a flying surfboard that has a flamethrower, a space worm that grows longer when it eats enemies or a UFO firing missiles for example. Those you can use yourself once you’ve killed the current owner

Attack from Planet Smiley

Attack from Planet Smiley

Attack from Planet Smiley is a retro arcade game where the aim of the game is to survive. Survive a horde of angry smiley faces invading your world. The only way to stop them? You. You are equipped with the latest technology and weaponry there is such as lasers, nukes, and even larger lasers, so when you die, it’s all over.

Tag along with a couple friends in the 2-3 Player modes while listening to a mix of three retro-space songs that will get you fired up and ready to burst some happy faces. But, if even one smiley face touches any of you or gets to your side of the battlefield, it’s game over - even one smiley face will wipe out the entire planet. Also, after a while a gigantic boss Smiley will trot along, and even another if you take your time, so don’t try use any small pebbles against these guys - they’ll take a massive beating and come out smiling, cough cough unless you use some of those bigger things, ah yes, nukes. Oh, and they have a gun to shoot you back too, don’t worry though, you can blow up those bullets as well!

Hungry Horace

Hungry Horace

This port was produced by Subvert Ltd., a company whose ownership of the Horace IP is dubious at best (probably best not to go into full details on this review). It’s a pretty dreadful port of the original, which was itself a fairly naff clone of Pac-Man. If you’re going to do a conversion, go the whole hog and either make it as retro as possible, with the character-based movement and 4:3 aspect ratio of the original, or modernise it with new graphics and sound; don’t leave in this halfway house, where smooth animation and alpha-blended pickup animations are jammed into the 1982 visuals like a square peg into a round hole. If you’re really desperate to play this game, don’t part ways with your cash - just download the original 16K tape version from the internet (don’t worry, it’s legal, Melbourne House have consented to its distribution). P.S: The game listing mentions the inclusion of a level editor, which I have been unable to locate. I would love to be corrected on this, not that it would help my opinions of the game-play.

A superb throwback to a simpler era of gaming, this is a wonderful updating of a classic game.

Kromaticube

Kromaticube

KROMATICUBE is a simple arcade game where you have to avoid obstacles while listenning to chiptune musics. Stay alive for at least 60 seconds to complete a level. It is designed for tryharder gamers and all retro gaming lovers.

Each level has it own chiptune music and ramdomly generated obstacles.

–—

Features List

  • 6 different levels with their own atmosphere

  • 25 different patterns and obstacles

  • Infinite scoring possible

Addictive

Technically you can finish the game in only 6 minutes BUT you need to practice a lot before reaching a satisfying level of skills and reflexes. Kromaticube is an alchemy between music and obstacles. A great person said “Just because you fail once, doesn’t mean you’re gonna fail at everything”, and this is the point Kromaticube.

Satisfying

Kromaticube is a really good game for training your brain reflexes. It’s all about learning patterns while discovering new atmospheres. Each level is about one ne particular feeling like joy, sadness or fear for example.

Dear god it’s beautiful. My premonitions used to manifest in visions of utter terror and desolation, humankind wiped from this earth like excrement from a boot.

But now, thanks to the420, I see fields of green, red roses too. Play this game, if only to say you have become a part of what makes gaming good.
