DOOMTANK
I was initially expecting some sort of tutorial, or something to tell me how to play the game, but that’s not DOOMTANK’s style at all. Just die, and die some more, and maybe get a good score once in a while! The game will taunt you the whole time. It’s a great game for quick score-chasing, and I’m having a lot of fun so far. Basically my strategy has been: hide in a corner, wait for a decent power-up, then go to town; and hope you don’t get a ridiculously difficult level when it changes!
Happy dying!

Pretty great twin stick shooter. Cool atmosphere with the Doom inspiration. Pretty killer music. You will die during level transitions but that’s part of the fun. Just wish for the tri-shot and rockets. Have a gory time!

Retexo Mori
“Above all, we hold this to be irrefutable: Death is the only True Evil. Retexo Mori.”
- Daily Prayer of the Unyielding
Retexo Mori is a Pac-Man-like game in first person, with bullet hell elements and an aesthetic that clashes early 90’s FPS pixel-art with vaporwave. It features short, high-intensity rounds inside carefully crafted arenas where you must navigate, avoid, and outwit Shadows that pursue you relentlessly. It is easy to understand, but difficult to master: while the enemies behave predictably, in tandem they can easily box you in if you don’t think far enough ahead.

but this one REMOTE LIFE as got everything & much more, the graphics & the detail is incredible also everything you click on before you even start to play the game,
the Art work is beyond Awesomeness. :)

First impression
The first thing you’ll notice is the game looks beautiful, it’s a 2d horizontal shmup but all the graphics and animations are 3d rendered. The art style looks like it could have been by inspired by HR Giger but it’s a lot creepier. What stands out as well is that it’s a twin stick shooter. It may look a bit unusual with all weapons coming from one point in front of the ship but it works well. It allows for the game to bombard you with enemies coming from all directions even while you’re manouvering through tight tunnels and obstacles.

Cube Gothic
Even for an Arkhouse game, this was a very masochistic experience, it’s shame because this game has a great story and I wish more people could experience it - it’s almost like the developer does not want anyone to see his artwork. It took me slightly over 4 hours to complete, it’s pretty long for a 2D bullet-hell, give or take a few hours depending on your reflexes. The narrative is connected to at least 2 other Arkhouse games, so if you skip those you might have a hard time understanding the importance of recurring characters. Even though I love the narrative in his games, Arkhouse stories are very metaphorical, there is some space for personal interpretation. Unfortunately, the difficulty is not fair, I don’t mind challenging gameplay, but a lot of it has to do with confusing hitboxes, punishing checkpoint system, and the need for excessive stage repetition. If you don’t play carefully you can potentially create a very poor checkpoint with low HP, although sometimes you can reload the game and go a bit further back.

Oh this game…
I WANTED to like this game. I SO wanted to! The art style and the music was interesting! And while the game was hard, it was still fun! But then in the middle, the game jumped the shark with a m weird maze and minesweeper level and PLATFORMING levels which made no sense!
And the levels starting getting VERY cheap and annoying! Sadistically cheap! Being hit out of nowhere by attacks you can’t see! Weakpoints that you have to guess to find! And the story jumping the shark like that! And the most annoying thing being much of the non-story text being backwards! That made things VERY annoying to understand!

PUSS!
after a long time i finaly beat this game and trust me it is harder than it looks, i think this game diserves a lot more attention that it is getting.
its sad because its really just luck if these sort of inde games become popular. There are lots of inde horror games like this that get huge amounts of attention on youtube because one youtuber plays a game, then fans recommend that game to other youtubers who play it, then even more youtubers play that game because they saw someone else play the game and they think it would make for a good video, it crates a domino affect of popularity. Im not saying this is a bad thing but it sort of means that you just have to get a little bit lucky. it means that a lot of games that are really good like this one will not be as popular because they are not picked up and advertised by youtube gamers. Let me give an example, recently a game by the name of baldi’s basics in education and learning was picked up and played by youtubers and became very popular though a big wave of popular gaming youtubers playing it. You my or my not have herd of it but a LOT of youtubers played it. Others may disagree but I don’t think it was a very good game, it was ok, but it didn’t bring anything new to the table, it wasn’t very well scary and the gameplay was very RNG based and not really entertaining. You may disagree but they only reason it gained popularity was because one youtuber played it and others followed suit.

Awesome Vaporwave/Glitch art aesthetics wasted on an ungodly abomination of game design. It is truly baffling how one could screw up such a simple idea. Your goal is to move your cursor around a labyrinth without colliding with (often moving and dynamic) geometry, you know, like in the internet classic Scary Maze (the game actually has a level referencing it, so bonus points for that). The levels themselves are absolutely amazing, each one of them is a separate work of Vaporwave art, accompanied by equally sweet soundtrack (composed out of truly bizarre samples, just like Vaporwave should be). Everything moves, glitches out, the mazes suddenly change in shape, and there are a lot of gimmicks to spice things up.

Until Last Breath
Until Last Breath is a one-man project, one I thought I was not going to like. I was worried this was going to be a complete asset flip, which thankfully it’s not completely an asset flip. There are Unreal Engine assets used, there is some effort put into this, but I was still worried. I got the game from a bundle so thankfully I didn’t spend too much money just in case.

The screenshots and video is slightly outdated. Some things have changed. The enemy is not a zombie soldier but just a normal-looking zombie, but there is only one enemy that scales in health and speed as you progress in waves. Some parts of levels have way more detail and junk laying around. Weapon sounds are very lame and don’t sound good. I am running an older PC so I had to drop the settings down to mid/low. I did enjoy the music track, even though it’s just one track. The enemy AI is really basic and the pathing is questionable, especially when the enemies tend to get spawned pretty far away. Death is temporary as you will just respawn, you lose your equipped weapons and get the 2 starting weapons, which is useless in later waves when they deal no damage. The game also has no pause menu, so hitting the ESC key closes the game.

Very early access but very good for what it is. Obviously not the final product as the creator works alone and is trying to improve it by letting others play and give feedback on it. I really enjoyed running around the expansive map looking for different secrets and all the while being chased by waves of the un-dead. There are already so many cool things about it. Unique weapons, secret areas, secret weapons, outfits to find. A variety of different areas to fight in like close quarter hallways or an open parking lot.
