A Circle Among Squares

A Circle Among Squares

You’re a circle. You’re the good guy. But you’re surrounded by squares. Some are irrelevant. Others are useful and/or annoying. Then there are the black squares. They want to kill you. They are the bad guys. Be a good guy and pulverize those baddies, will you?

Survive and shoot all enemies in 200 levels (or make them shoot themselves). Each level cleared opens the next one permanently (autosave). Enemies come in a variety of types, speeds and action patterns, while other squares do a multitude of things, ranging from reflecting bullets to teleporting you. Enemies are killed with a single hit, and so do you. Failing a level has no consequences. While the first levels are easy and often, very quick, difficulty increases greatly in later levels.

Chariot Land

Chariot Land

Chariot Land is a simple shooting game with only movement and shooting operations and unlimited ammo.

The player needs to select a chariot(Some chariots need to be unlocked by completing certain level and killing a certain number of enemies ), and then enter the level combat, clearing all the enemies.

When the player is in the enemy’s line of sight, he is locked, and can use the terrain to avoid enemy tracking, or run away.

Every time you destroy an enemy, you will get a shield or a medical box. Shields can be accumulated indefinitely, but health cannot exceed the maximum.

There are currently five levels, the first of which is a simple kill game that is completed by clearing all enemies. For the rest of the level, the enemies will flow out of the big transport helicopter, which must be destroyed first, and then the rest of the enemies will be cleared. Note that the enemy will come to the rescue when attacking the transport helicopter.

Fight when you’re ready!

Fairy Fire - Defender of the Fairies

Fairy Fire - Defender of the Fairies

Shoot your way through a side scrolling dungeon filled with evil creatures and pick up fairies to escort them to safety. I must say, there is nothing more satisfying than killing with a flame thrower!

For this price, you get a fast paced side-scoller (just like the description says) which is really well done.

It makes fun, the upgrades do make sense and are well-balanced, some types of enemies need a different way of approach in order to defeat them, which increases the difficulty of this game.

If you´re looking for a challenge, get this game. If not, still get this game!

My best Run and all the girls full upgraded attack if you want to see if one fits your play style before purchasing: https://youtu.be/z4awrSgyR4s

I could not beat this game it’s incredibly hard and there’s no continues/extra lives that I could find after making it to the fourth stages boss. If you’re good at these types of games you’ll really enjoy it I can’t speak for future releases since it seems they’re going the DLC route for later characters. Music is dope, but I wish they would include a mode with continues for players who aren’t super great at this genre. Worth the price though at $3.59

decent game for the price you can have some fun with friends ,needs more work and i support the team

Real player with 5.3 hrs in game

What started as what I thought would be a dumb meme of a game turned out to be a really fun experience. I really enjoyed what I played, and really hope the devs continue to update this more. It’s a bit rough around the edges, but with some polish and some gameplay tweaks, it could be a real AMAZING game. Hope to see it grow! Much love!
