BULLET PARTY

BULLET PARTY

This is a seemingly straightforward schmup on the surface but it’s just as much a puzzle game. Levels fly at you thick & fast, and you sometimes have just seconds to destroy all the enemies onscreen. However the visuals, whilst retro, are clearly defined & even though you will perish (many times!) it never feels annoying as you get put back in again, forcing you to think quickly & remember what worked & what didn’t.

Kind of unique among the many twin stick shooters out there, and great value. Even the pulsing soundtrack is effective. Get it!

BULLET PARTY is obviously a bullet hell game. A very hellish bullet game at that.

CONS

1. Gets very hard very easily, but this is to be expected. Bullet hell game after all. (Still annoying.)

2. No level editor. I feel like a level editor would REALLY make this game, especially if you could upload your levels and others could play theeem……………………

1. Very fun experience, with lots of levels.

2. Very fun with friends.

FINAL VERDICT

BULLET PARTY is a very fun game as you can tell. The game can be annoying at times, but it’s worth the money.

Flight of the Athena

Flight of the Athena

Lots of variety with bosses and enemies. Includes interesting time-based events mid-mission and enemies that come from all four directions, which gets pretty exciting pretty quickly. Well done, A To Play Ltd’s Flight of the Athena is pretty damn fun and very replayable!

While the portrait art may be lacking the rest of the in-game art are quite nice. Some odd design decisions on the tactical map but the actual battles and bosses are loads of fun. And multiplayer!

This game is excellent! It is a flashback to games like this that I played when I was younger but with great additions! You have two guns (one on a turret) which you control using the 2nd stock on the controller; this is great! Also there is an RPG and randomness factor which add to replayability. Got to buy it!

It start good.

Nice graphics but feel completely unbalanced to a point that is not playable or enjoyable for me.

The number of bullets of screen is huge with intricate patterns to evade.

Enemies can take a lot of damage before exploding or, some of them, are shielded and cannot be damaged until they decide to do so.

BlastZone 2

BlastZone 2

My Grandfather smoked his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, ‘If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately.’. Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately. Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- ‘Don’t ever smoke. Please don’t put your family through what your Grandfather put us through." I agreed. At 28, I have never touched a cigarette. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because this game gave me cancer anyway.

Apparently the blast zone is actually quite large. BlastZone 2 is a short indie side scrolling shooter (ala R-type but I wouldn’t say this game is that similar to R-type) made by solo developer Mat Edzenga. It features a number of different ships with different load outs, 8 stages filled with enemy ships, interesting 3D graphics and a few extra modes to try your hand at once you have beaten the main game. It also has local 2 players, controller support and costs only a few bucks.

Good

Toon Shooters 2: The Freelancers

Toon Shooters 2: The Freelancers

We enjoyed this game. My wife and I played it only once… and we were hooked for over 3 hours without realizing it!

The game is fast paced, hard but not too hard (don’t forget to buy upgrades for your character) and there are already players online! Wow!

We could have been playing it even longer if we didn’t suddenly arrive into a creepy level with ghosts called “The Temple of Evil” or something like that. I really liked the space boss fighting part, but I really hate that occult vibe that all those games are trying to push all the time.

  • Fun gameplay. Tight control (it works fine with X360 controller).

  • Nice graphics, if you like cartoony style. It’s crisp, colorful, and clean. You don’t lose track of what’s happening on screen.

  • There are a decent variety of ships to upgrade and items to buy. The replay value is good considering its price.

  • Minor cons. They did a poor job at explaining upgrades (but it’s not too hard to guess) and you can’t adjust audio volume in-game.

Blink: Rogues

I won’t hide that I am part of the development team. And as such, I am obviously biased. And also as such, I have already removed/fixed the great majority the things that I did not like about this game. The few that are still remaining, we have plans about those - for instance: adding a couple more maps, a couple more enemies, and a party mode (read that quick PvP local tournaments).

I love the new graphics, I love it when I hit with the rail, while moving, Blink to steal a MegaHealth from the opponent, masterfully flip in order to avoid a shotgun, get the frag, and then … I run into the first enemy and die.

It’s time to play a shooting gallery in space – we are entering the world of Blink:Rogues, developed and distributed by Fox Dive Studio

To start with, I will be honest and say I was genuinely curious how a simple genre like the “shoot’em up” could be innovated further. Space Invaders (1978) started its popularity and since that time, some great games have come from it like Mushihimesama in 2011. That said, I feel like many games in this genre feel like they are almost the same game, with some small differences and a new texture pack thrown over the top. Blink: Rogues, however, adds a new spice to the genre by mixing it up with some new mechanics, which we will go through in this review.

SUPERVERSE

SUPERVERSE

Playing Superverse is really awesome experience.

Whole universe against you, just like old retro games when we were saving world and universe from bad guys, those were good old times. What can one wish for more.

Excellent graphics and fluid gameplay is something that is typical for this game.

Tested on keyboard which can be playable but i recommend with Joypad. It is totally different experience.

Once you get used to controls it becomes very natural and easy to play even versus tougher opponents.

Have you ever played Gate88? How about Chicken Invaders? Imagine Gate88 space mechanics and controls where you are floating and you can power up your weapons in Chicken Invaders style and just enjoy nice space scenery?

SUPERVERSE will give you all that and more. Although it is an early access game, it is offering interesting content. You are a small space vessel and you roam around different universes and upgrade weapons, Chicken Invaders style where more is better, enjoy the scenery and destroy enemy vessels.

HOLY COW! Milking Simulator

HOLY COW! Milking Simulator

A cheeky dash game that doesn’t take itself too seriously!

You control a cow that needs to eat grass to produce milk and then run back to the truck to get milked by a machine. Everything is on a time limit so you had better move fast. The goal is to reach at least the bronze objective to successfully complete a level, but you’re eventually forced to go for silver or gold. The reason for this is that there are roadblocks every five stages that require a certain number of medals.

The grass quality affects how fast you’ll get full. The best one that fills you up in seconds is usually locked behind closed fence. Grass also fills up your poop meter, slowing you down. Because it fills up at the same rate as your milk meter, you have to relieve yourself virtually constantly. Poop is both helpful and annoying. Because your cow can’t walk over it, you can find yourself surrounded by so much poop that you can’t move. Fortunately, it can be destroyed by enemies or their projectiles.
