Neon Arena is a Unity Asset flip, what Valve calls a “fake game”. The “developer”, beans rolls, took the Neon Space Fighter Unity Store tutorial/demo/game asset pack from the real developers, Aleksa Racovic, changed the name, and dumped the result onto Steam. They’re attempting to scam people into buying this, so they can get your money for someone else’s work.

WeWereFriends

The goal of We Were Friends is to find a way to have a good time with your friends while playing a video game.

WWF offers two game modes. A Battle Royal mode to finally know who is the best between you and your friends and a Prop Hunt mode to discover or rediscover the best of the caches. So far, only the Battle Royal works. You may select PropHunt in game but that will lead you to an empty map used for test.

Choose the skin that suits you best and invite your friends online!

The health crisis of covid-19 has shown us the importance of social links. The rise of multiplayer party games (Fall Guys, Among us, … to name a few) has also shown that even if it was not always possible to see each other in person, multiplayer games were an opportunity to get together. The medium is only there to trigger funny or impressive situations on which players can bounce.

However, the genre is sorely lacking in shooting games. Here, We Were Friends brings together two of the most popular game modes of the moment to allow players to choose the atmosphere of their games!

Battle Royal mode :

Start this mode when at least two player are on the server. (Take care that the second player is set as “ready” in his status section (he must have clicked on “OK” when choosing his avatar)

Once players are all ready, the host have to start the game. That will teleport all the players in another map. There you will have a few seconds to wait (it’s a security to allow all players in the lobby to join the new map). After 10 secondes, all players will be teleported to a spaceship. Then, all you have to do is jump from the spaceship, find a weapon and be the last standing. A safezone will reduce the map area though the game and water deals TONS of damage so be sure to avoid it. If you get killed by a player, you’ll spectate him.

In the game, you may find Gravity guns, rail guns, assaultRifle, pistol, …

Prop Hunt Mode :

So far the mode ISN’T IN THE GAME. More information coming soon…

CD-RUN

CD-RUN

I was gifted this game by the dev after we play-tested it as co-workers. Another made the chiptune OST and they both deserve praise for the work.

CD-Run is a side scrolling race against your friends and the obstacles the stage throws at you, with multiple mode changes as it goes on. Fast Forward, Repeat, Pause etc.. all shuffle to mix up what’s happening and make you pay attention all the time. When you add in other players all trying to survive as well, it’s total chaos, and some of the best laughs I’ve had with my friends were because of this game.

This is an endless side-scrolling platformer game where you play as a running and jumping square. Think SMB games in multiplayer mode, but you have to run in one direction, and you can’t pick up your friends to toss them off the edges. It’s a fantastic way to burn some time with friends, and simple enough to put down after a couple of runs if needed, though it’s hard to put down when feelings of aggressive competitiveness continually builds. What to expect when playing with friends: so.much.laughter, shenanigans, some comraderie (if you’re playing distance mode), countless expletives, and name-calling.

Surviv.io - 2D Battle Royale

Surviv.io - 2D Battle Royale

This game is a fantastic top-down battle-royale that is perfect for newer gamers or those who cant run games with higher graphic requirements. it’s simple to learn, and rewarding to play. The developers have been updating the game constantly, adding tons of free cosmetic skins and other game modes.

The problem is the hackers. This game is absolutely filled with hackers. Almost every game, there is probably a hacker playing. They don’t try to hide it, and with the games Spectator Mode, you can watch it all happen. Hard aim-locking is the most common one, and watching the recoil on high-spread weapons, or my personal favourite, the hard-lock melee attacks, really ruins the game. And its not a rare occurrence; it happens all the time in solo, duo, or group.

This game has a serious problem with hackers and teamers.

I have been playing this game for at least 3-4 years now, and I remember when it was not filled to the brim with hackers and teamers that practically outnumber actual players. But now it’s often difficult to make it through early- and mid-game without being killed by one of the many hackers or by a bullet shower from a pair (or more!) of teamers. And if I do manage to not run into any players belonging to either of those two groups of degenerates, or if I manage to beat the odds and kill them, it is a near-certainty that they will be among the last players remaining in late-game, and I will likely lose to them then. It is very frustrating to spend lots of time playing a game and getting fairly decent at it, make it to the last 3 alive in a match after getting 10 kills (not a ton but a solid match for me at least) only to have the other two players just shoot at me and not at each other at all, killing me. Due to the fact that I encounter a hacker or teamers about every other match at least, and that I usually lose to them, I think I would get about 2X the number of matches where I survive into late game if it were not for the hackers and teamers. And upon making it to late game, I would be able to actually win a fair amount more as well, 25-50% (late game is going to accumulate the highest skilled players, making it more difficult than early and mid once hackers and teamers are out of the equation). While there are many actual legit players that are better than me which does not bother me, it does bother me that so many opportunities to win are stolen by illegitimate players. I would be able to greatly improve my late-game skills and strategy if the hackers and teamers were removed, because this would give me about twice the number of late-game matches.

Attack of the Mutant Penguins

I purposefully look out for weird, obscure games full of personality, so I’m not the best judge, but personally I’m in love with this game’s weirdness. If you want new, never done before or after gameplay concepts, give this a shot. If you aren’t one for something new, or just can’t get past its weirdness, I’d say pass.

I had a problem when using the gamepad, so I requested a refund for the game. I got it because of the nostagia since this was one of the titles for the Atari Jaguar. I never played it, so I wanted the experience.

However, it runs in DOSbox emulator, and i found it pretty expensive for what it is.

The story mode is really good. Unfortunately, a lot of the community levels just suck. People made them too hard, and it encourages rage quitting!

Very nice for a one man project. I really like the bomb kick mechanic, also glad that the multiplayer was fixed. Shaping up pretty good.
