Kowi Ishto: Battle of Akonoli

*** RE-REVIEW UPDATE ON JULY 3, 2021 ***

The developer reached out to me via email and asked me to re-review this game after his updates and “big update 3.0”, so I decided to give his game another chance considering the number of updates this game has seen since my first review more than a year ago…

This video shows my reactions to the current state of this game on July 3rd of 2021:

In all honesty and good faith I cannot recommend this game, as I didn’t enjoy it at all, and I believe that even for a tenth of its price you could buy a better game.

If you want you can watch my first impression and some considerations regarding the game and the studio (one man team) in the following video.

I think everyone should also take into consideration the statement released by the developer on June 22nd, date that follows the production of my video, where I point out things that were then addressed by Cenokga in the following statement: https://cenokga.com/my-experience-after-first-game-release-a-letter-from-the-developer/

This is great to have one a second monitor with headphones on while working on something.

It’s even got it’s own dystopian plot to go along with it.

Brilliant.

I love this game. The art and music come together to make a really fun and enjoyable aesthetic. Unlike most other clicker games I’ve played this one actually has some difficulty in it, so that’s another plus. Since its release, TV Kid has been getting multiple updates, adding convenient and noticeable features. The creator has said they would continue to work on and update the game at a slower and steady pace, which is most likely going to make any new additions even higher quality. This is a great thing because that will hopefully mean this game will have an increasing replay value over time.

Fantastic game. I was stunned by how realistic the game is. The Attenborough-like narrator and the documentary setting make the game quite educative.

Bullsharks [Carcharhinus leucas] give live birth, which makes the enforced caesarean section at the beginning of the game totally believable. They are found in sweet and salt water alike, which totally explains how the shark can intrude that many lakes and rivers. They are also big on energy conservation. For example, they react to external factors and can decrease energy required for osmoregulation. That totally explains how the shark can eat an entire bbq society while crawling and jumping for several kilometres over a golf lawn. Arguably, bio-electricity and grenade-resistance are rather atypical mutations of bull sharks, but hey, who can really claim to understand nature? Similarly, the shark possesses an active sonar which seems unlikely given that it’s only to be found in marine mammals, but it’s totally possible that her father was a humpback whale (also given the incredible size that this specimen reaches).

I have only just started playing this and I am already enjoying it and the puzzles. It did take me a minute to figure out H was start (you can rebind it though) so it’s not an issue.

A cute little puzzle game with some really nice stylistic graphics and awesome chip tunes.

A fun retro style puzzle game. If you’re looking for a puzzle to pass some time, this is very enjoyable.

Beat Cop

Beat Cop

In Beat Cop’s trailer we see Kojak, Columbo, Magnum & Miami Vice… We’re in the 80’s!

But none of that, nor Sledge Hammer himself, you are Jack Kelly, a NYPD detective who has been demoted to street police after a confusing robbery of a senator’s house…

You have 3 weeks to solve the case while you fulfill your role as a street cop.

From where I start? For God’s sake, what a 3 weeks! What a street!

This game is a rare mixture, gameplay is very original. We are talking about an adventure with retro graphics where decisions matter, with a main story and daily secondary missions every day of the 3 weeks that at most will last the game (21 days) full of jokes, very funny! But it’s also a time and resource management game. As if that weren’t enough, there is also a reputation system with different factions and many different endings. All at rhythm of small (only 4 tracks) but exquisite soundtrack set in the 80’s. An explosive cocktail!

Warning: You cannot be a “good cop” throughout the whole game

Beat Cop is somewhere in the middle for me, but below the margin. I think I actually enjoyed the gameplay and visual/audio style the most, while the main storyline, the dialogue, and your “freedom” with choices are not that great.

The game focuses way too much on over-the-top dark humor to a point where it gets annoying, especially at the beginning of each day where you listen to fellow cops repeat the same cliche, one-dimensional, arrogant personality rants.

overall 3/10

badly designed and implemented game.

after first few minutes interest to play is gone.

Real player with 3.0 hrs in game

An excellent shooter where we play as mafia cats.

There are a lot of different opponents in the game, namely: jackals, mice, wolves and many others.

And the best part is that the game is not very demanding with the characteristics of a computer.

Shooty Skies Overdrive

Shooty Skies Overdrive

The VR version of the free2play title. There is so much colour! And so many things to unlock! VR really helps the mechanics shine as you feel like a kid playing with a toy aeroplane! Absolute Insanity!

Have you ever pretended your hand is a plane/spaceship and zoomed it around going “pew! pew!” blowing up bad guys? Ever play a “bullet hell” game and thought it might be cool in full VR? Shooty Skies Overdrive let’s you play pretend again, and shows just how cool it can be. There are Power Ups to give your off-hand things to do (with full right/left handed support) and difficulty levels that live up to the name “Overdrive.” Progression, checkpoints and gameplay unlocks help keep things fresh, and let’s you tweak numbers to get the Power Ups you prefer. Nothing hugely sophisticated, but varied and hectic enough to keep me coming back for more. Bright but low-fi graphics means it runs like silk, even with a million bullets in your face.

Very fun game with a nice art style. There is an interesting underlying lore and the movement feels very nice.

Super Neat Cat is a straightforward platformer that struggles to stand out. In general, the game is inoffensive and lacks any egregious issues. Typically, a game without many flaws is great, but there needs to be something special or different about it. Super Neat Cat isn’t a bad game, but it lacks a notable strength that pulls you in.

The platforming mechanics in Super Neat Cat are rudimentary and felt clunky to me. You have a basic double jump, but nothing else. There are no special abilities, you just run and jump. I found jumping to feel unusually slow, and it actually took a while to get used to it. To be fair to the game, this might just be a personal issue, as I don’t play a ton of platformers. I would have liked it if your character had a faster top speed, although it’s also clear that this game is trying to be more casual and laid-back than something like Super Meat Boy.
