Afterworld King

Afterworld King

Lucky me had the dubious honour of writing the first review for Afterworld King.

Afterworld King is another GameMaker Studio asset flip from serial copy+paste infringers, GreatHopeStudio. All these guys do is rip off game templates and projects from the Yoyogames/GameMaker Studio store, change the name and a few cosmetic details, and try to scam people into paying for someone else’s work on Steam. They have run asset flip scams dozens of times, and this is no exception. It’s nothing but a cash grab.

Pretty cool parody puzzle, very similar to Pac-Man. The game is very interesting, has a good graphic design and pleasant musical accompaniment.

Made by an indie developer who wanted to create a commercial game in a week (or take a game jam game and refine it into a commercial game in a week). Starprey does not disappoint if your looking for a fast paced space dogfighting game. The game has been updated with better controls and extra health since launch which really help with the playability of the game. The controls are unique and the physics based walls make the game a lot different then just a normal space chase kind of game. For the price it is pretty fun game, however it can be difficult and those dang turrets are wayyy to accurate sometimes! 😊

I really enjoyed this game it may be short but it is really challenging. There are some minor things which could be improved like adding the setting to change the resolution. But for the price it is a really great game.

Bounce Your Shots

In BounceShot, you must position your body and weapon so that your shot bounces off a surface and into your target.

Make The Jumps

BounceShot not only tests your ability to shoot and think, but also your ability to move. Each level is timed and you will have to do some impressive platforming to get the best times.

Do It With Style

Speed and Style are rewarded. Reflecting your own shots with a melee is one of the many style techniques that will get you bonus points and medals. There is a high skill ceiling that rewards making use of these stylish techniques.

DSY: Don’t Shoot Yourself

Fan f-ing Dance

I was on board with this game up until one of the last levels in which the game rotates your mouse control (that’s the only way I can rationalize it; in practice it feels like you have no control) with no UI and the result is an unplayable level, even on easy. The game was hard but possible up until Fan Dance, so that’s still a good 1-3 hours of content depending on what difficulty you play on. But Fan Dance is terrible game design and definitely soured the experience, especially considering it’s so close to the end.

Real player with 6.7 hrs in game

its pretty good, I found that due to the game being mouse driven some of the mechanic made things more chaotic than they should have been e.g I went through a teleporter but my mouse didn’t move so my character attempted to zip back to where my mouse is and then I lost because it ran into some bullets.

Aside from constantly beating levels obviously atypically to how the level design would suggest, it is a fun little puzzler that should be an app but is good enough of a game to feel right at home in my steam library.

Siphonophore

Siphonophore

I was a beta tester for Siphonophore so I’ll go into a bit more depth about the game.

TL:DR - I enjoyed my time with the game, The gameplay loop is simple and fun, Boss fights are challenging and the game’s story kept me interested while at times a little confused.

Gameplay/Difficulty

You start off with a basic cannon like weapon which you will be using for a majority of the game with new weapons and colour upgrades becoming available once you have defeated each boss. You also have a dash ability that can be used to propel you short or long distances with momentum affecting how far you travel. The creature also has some weapons to deal with enemies and is more useful against the bigger enemies you encounter.

Tip: Hold E and use scroll wheel to enable progress.

So far I don’t think it’s a masterpiece. The gameplay is lacking due to the large number of enemies, important indicators communicated exclusively through the HUD, and near complete lack of distinction between food and foe.

However, it’s worth playing. The aesthetic and sound design are just like in the trailer, and the dialogue while probably thoughtless gibberish is entertaining to read (except in the extended tutorial that entirely misses the core issue).
