SpinZap
SpinZap is a challenging game in classic arcade style. Use your reflexes, dexterity and boss skills to conquer 81 levels of circle zapping madness.
Your task is to steer the spinning circles using various control methods, such as halting, reversing and skipping forward, in order to find a clear path to fire at the plasma ball hiding at the center of the circles. Hit the plasma ball enough times before the time runs out to win the level. Failure to do so results in your cannon being instantly blown up in retaliation.
Depending on how quickly and cleanly you finished the job, you are awarded one, two or three stars upon completion of each level.
The full version of the game spans nine worlds, each world containing nine levels and its own theme song to set the mood.
SpinZap starts off very easy, but grows harder for every world you conquer. In the end, you will need nerves of steel, perfect control and excellent timing to get the highest possible score.
Single-player vs co-op mode
SpinZap was originally designed as a single-player game, but has turned out to be a lot of fun to play in local co-op mode and in ”Remote Play Together” mode. All controllers are active in parallel, letting each player contribute to the team’s successes (or failures) in the best way for each level. Note that there are no differences between the single-player and co-op modes - in fact, they are the same mode.
Control options
Keyboard and joypad / joystick controls are supported. Only keys or buttons are used to play the game. When playing alone, using the keyboard or an arcade stick is highly recommended. Using a joypad in single player mode is possible, but can be regarded as self-punishment, or the equivalent of a self-chosen difficulty level “insane”. When playing cooperatively, joypads work verk well since each participating player only has to worry about their part.
Resolutions and aspect ratios
The game supports a wide range of aspect ratios, making it suitable for ultra-wide and ultra-tall display setups (provided that the GPU and its drivers support such configurations).
Demo
Remember to try the demo to get a hands-on understanding of what the game is about, and how well it plays on your system and with your controller setup.
Warning
This game contains circular rotating patterns which may make it unsuitable for people with photosensitive epilepsy or other photosensitive conditions. Player discretion is advised.

Impossiball - Gamers Challenge
If you like a mix of flappy birds, portal 2 and getting over it this game might be for you. Very fun game. It’s challenging even for someone who has played games all his life on a high level. I think completing it within 4-5 hours is entirely possible. The mechanics are simple in general but figuring out the levels takes some time which was fun.

Very good game. I’m terrible at it and have no patience but the satisfaction of completing levels is so so sweet. Great concept for a game.

Almost There: The Platformer
“Corri tra le lame evitando i missili autoguidati. Abbassati sotto i laser mentre il pavimento si sbriciola sotto i tuoi piedi. Quasi arrivati è stato ideato appositamente per i fan più accaniti dei giochi a piattaforme, sei stato avvertito.”
This localization is literally awesome - they Google-translated letter-by-letter the game title, without even adding quotation marks. So, “Almost there” turned into “Quasi arrivati” - which is awesome. By the way, it’s plural too. It would be like translating “Final Fantasy” into “Fantasie finali”. Take on me, Italian-speakers!

ALMOST THERE: THE PLATFORMER - 3/10
Quick Review: A not very challenging, unbelievably basic, ugly, barebones platforming experience. While the level design isn’t all that bad the game just simply doesn’t have anything unique or interesting enough to warrant playing.
Maybe you have gotten this in the humble bundle like I did, or maybe you love platformers and saw this in your recommendations on Steam. I’m going to try and make this review a bit shorter than my others because there is not much to this game.

Don’t Die! Douche!
This game is fun. It is relaxing but at the same time fills you with RAGE! You simply don’t know what’s going to kill you or when it’s going to kill you.It will make you sweat, you’ll laugh, you may even rage quit. I have live streamed this game on Twitch and I was giggling like a schoolgirl and I’d not even had a beer. Get some mates round, have a few beers and challenge one another to not die. Have fun!

Well, I played this game as a friend made it, and I thought I’d show my support. I’m very glad I did, but partly wishing I hadn’t. The main reason is because it’s so infuriating. It is a great game though, and I’m determined to complete it. Get it. Have fun, and try not to launch anything.

Synzzball
A very nice Physics game with simple mechanics but hard to master control!
A strong point for the game is the Level editor - you can create what ever you want the limit is your imagination.

SPITLINGS
I played this game in an indie event last year and I am pleasently surprised by how much it evolved.
Some levels can be frustrating, but in a way that your reaction is: “I’m going to keep playing until I beat it!” and not: “F*ck this game, I don’t want to play anymore”
Also, playing it with friends makes it even more enjoyable.

Great game, simple but hard. I didn’t play alone, but it’s great to play with friends

Couplinked
This game is a refreshing take on simple and engaging arcade style controls and game play. Just when you think you are getting the hang of things each level and tier challenges you and makes you rethink how to play the game. The music is super chill and a great track to listen to at the end of a stressful day. Six hours into the game, currently the only feedback I have is I wish they would allow changes to the colors of the nodes and the electricity.

Couplinked is a simple game, and for the cost of entry, the replay-ability is high.
Goal is simple, you control two circles simultaneously while matching them by colour as well as avoiding obstacles. Controls at first will definitely be confusing, but with a bit of practice there is a certain satisfaction in matching nodes consistently at a real quick rate.
Definitely not for the faint of heart, as it does get increasingly difficult. My experience with puzzle games come from things like Catherine and Puyo Puyo Tetris, and they can be very frustrating to those uninitiated.
