Magia X
Magia X is a good Side Scroller Game that i enjoy playing. With a Good Graphics, Cool Skills Effects, smooth attack pattern, you could kill a bunch of enemies on site as long as your prepared for a fight. But as an early access, there’s a lot of limitation on this game:
1.) Only 1 out of 4 character is available as this moment “The Magic Swordsman”.
2.) Sometimes the esc button which you could access the “Settings” and the “Quit Button” were sometimes not functional. Good thing that this is a Side Scroller Game not a VR one.

Edit: (Changed from a negative to positive review)
The 4 DLC characters are now free to EA buyers of this game and I for one thank the Devs for that.
There is still an issue with controllers not working as intended (you can do everything except actually move in the game), this was due to a recent patch and hopefully will be sorted out.
The 3rd area in the game is still not in but isn’t far off.
The actual game is pretty darn good and hopefully won’t be over shadowed by it’s troubled release as it’s worth a shot.

Catch a cat for 60 seconds
As the world record holder for Catch a Cat for 60 Seconds, I can confidently say that you will not regret buying this game. The graphics are nothing amazing, but the gameplay is where this game shines. Never in my life have I felt so thrilled to be alive. Running to my PC and playing Catch a Cat for 60 Seconds all day long has become my new life, and I couldn’t be happier. Achieving the #1 position has been my single greatest achievement in my lifetime. Whereas the graphics are nothing to write home about, the sound track is practically orgasmic. This game is my life. Please, buy it.

Fantasy Story
Fantasy Story is a tight, punchy platformer with more than 80 rooms across four distinct zones, all employing unique mechanics to make for new challenges. Enemies are varied and tough and there are plenty of secrets to uncover. The world is deep, rich and ready to explore.
A world brimming with light, kindness, and joy now lays barren.
The adventurers that roamed these lands, and kept them safe from evil, were young and strong. They fought to keep the people who inhabited it safe and secure, from the breezy, green fields to the freezing tundras. But alas, these Heroes were nowhere near prepared for the impending doom that awaited the world.
Drasorin, a warlock determined to disrupt the balance of the world, sought and slew the great Heroes. Unleashing his powerful minions to pillage, corrupt, and destroy, Drasorin succeeded in his evil goal, and now the lands are his. Those that survived live in fear; fearful of the day that Drasorin will come for them, too. While he sits high and mighty in his castle, his disgusting monsters are left to roam the world, and destroy any good that is left.
You are one of the few survivors. Seeking vengeance for your home and people, you set out on the greatest adventure yet. Pick up your sword, Hero, and godspeed! For you will face deadly foes and overcome perilous obstacles. Be wary! As you travel, you will encounter few safe havens to rest - and even fewer friends to assist, so you must be careful! Take back what belongs to the people of this world, bring the hammer of justice down on Drasorin, and be the great Hero that everyone needs!

The Witch & The 66 Mushrooms
This is a cute short metroidvania with a lot of fairy tale influence in the story and bosses. The world is pretty small, but it’s dense with upgrades and collectibles, so it feels a bit larger than it otherwise would.
You start with a double jump, and a healing ability (check your pause menu for more information). The metroidvania locks are various weapons which can destroy certain crystals and unlock passages, a few items that open up more of the map, a cat form that lets you go into narrow passages, and gems/orbs late game that open the way into the final area.

As the first game i ever played developed on this Pixel Game Maker MV software, i got to say, it’s pretty ambitious to develop a small sized metroidvania title, but even then it has its shortcomings, particularly small things than end up mattering on the whole gameplay experience, for starters, while the controllers seem decent enough, there’s some minor decisions like running while holding the attack button as if this was a game developed for a game system with very few buttons, when in reality you could easily fix this by making just tapping the same direction twice like Castlevania Circle of The Moon, furthermore, the difference in movement and speed between walking and dashing could be a bit more notorious.

Carpathian Night
The plague of Dracula’s army continues to spread across the Carpathians, growing stronger with each victim it claims. Those who attempt to resist are met with a fate worse than death. If Dracula is not stopped, he will bring everlasting night to the world.
Only two champions have answered the call to bring divine justice to Dracula and his minions. Abbot Dorin, warrior monk and leader of the Kelemen Church, and Irina Dracul, vampire, pyromancer, and ancestor of Prince Dracula, have joined together to drive back the army of the dead and hunt down the legendary vampire himself. Zombies, vampires, werewolves, ghosts, and demonic beings of every kind await all who dare trespass into their master’s domain! Those who survive the horrors of the Borgo Pass will reach the gates of the ancient Castle Dracula, where the real nightmare begins!
Carpathian Night is a tribute to retro horror side-scrollers and the classic monster films that inspired them. Battle your way through legions of iconic monsters, avoid deadly traps, uncover the secret history of your monstrous foes, and face the legendary Lord of the Vampires within his own ancestral home! Answer the call, mighty hunter, and drive the wickedness back from whence it came!
Mutated Muter’s Invasion
“Mutated Muter’s Invasion” is a fun and humorous 2D platformer/action adventure game about a music note fighting an evil monster from the outer space, the Mutated Muter (pun intended), who “invades” the Solar System to mute all the music on the Earth. The nasty Mutated Muter wants to destroy our Solar System’s cosmic harmony (also often loosely called “the harmony of the spheres”) and mute music in the souls of all humans forever.
Imagine a world without something that is everywhere in our everyday lives… Not only does music sound at concerts, parties, and other events, but it also follows you while you are watching TV or a video on the Internet, driving, or maybe even jogging or on your way somewhere with earbuds on. Although there do exist games that are based on music as a video game genre, there seems to be a lack of (if any at all) games that are NOT music-based genre-wise yet are wholly ABOUT music, especially saving music, as a subject. So, the idea of “Mutated Muter’s Invasion” was born.
This game’s idea is to provide a mostly 2D platforming action experience, often loosely described as “Mario-esque”, while focusing on music as the main subject. A couple side-scrolling shooter levels are also present. Fight the Mutated Muter’s agents at different locations/levels stylized as music scores with some fancy mechanics and collect sharps, flats, naturals, and other power-ups and useful items in the fancy universe of “Mutated Muter’s Invasion”! Shoot “un-muting” sonic bullets and super sonic bullets at the mobs, avoid the muting weapons of the enemies, and more. And, of course, punish the overconfident Muter himself!
WARNING: the game is HARD! Choosing the “expert” mode right away is highly discouraged.
One (but not the only!) challenge is timings, which are as important here as if you actually were a performer learning a musical piece… Bad timings will cause you to fall down into the abyss or take hits. Other dangers await the player too, even where things may look nice and relaxing. It’s not only the mobs who are nasty and sinister… Even some platforms will try to trick you!
Features include:
-
fun gameplay mechanics
-
original (for the most part) fun graphics and audio
-
4 difficulty modes: easy, medium, hard, and expert
-
tries are unlimited—that’s right, no annoying “lives” and “continues”; what’s more, your game gets saved using Steam Cloud!
-
responsive controls
-
the Xbox 360 controller is supported*
-
on the keyboard, control with both arrows and W-A-S-D is supported
*controller support is conventional, i.e. raw (NOT specifically programmed as Steam Input aware)
Super Nate Adventure
This game is very fun and challenging. The last levels were near impossible! Never having played a platformer before, this was a new experience for me. I’ve discovered a new genre of game I enjoy!

Big fan of this game. i loved every level and this brings a challenge. i loved Cloudberry kingdom, one of my favourite of all times and as this game might be shorter this game brought back my frustration for plat-formers again and gotta say i loved the rage it brought out from within me. 12/10 would play again

The Legend of Tianding
As a Taiwanese, I can’t recommend The Legend of Tianding enough.
A 2D platformer beat’em up game, the platform stages & the combat system are the core aspect of the game. The combat system is responsive & flows very well, with a weapon-stealing mechanic that allows you to steal the weapon of virtually every normal enemy unit (tho the weapons are of limited use.) As you progress through the stage, you also learn special kung fu moves that complement your arsenal of skills. These special moves are not only useful in combat, but are often essential in traversing the platform stages as well, especially for the optional treasure part of the game. The grappling mechanic (using the same waist scarf you use to steal weapons) takes a bit of getting use to, but once perfected it is a lot of fun to play with as well.

Played on the harder difficulty. A very solid 2D sidescrolling beatemup with a unique cultural presentation (Taiwanese folklore), superb art-style, great music/sound design and voiceover. The story while pretty straightforward overall, it does have a couple really nice twists, and I especially love the narrator’s style.
Overall The levels are edging on dragging over a bit longer than they should be (IMHO), but the jumping puzzles are good and varied enough to keep it flowing.
Combat-wise it feels really good to use the combos, just-dodges and projectile-deflections - the iconic weapon stealing move can be chained together with almost every move you make (and the enemy weapons are really useful at times) thus making this combat experience somewhat different from other great 2D side-beat’mups that came before it.
