If I could describe this game in one word… it’d be…
Lazy.
Look, I wanted to like this game, I love boss arena bullet hell games. One hit kill? Bring it freaking on! Taste the full color spectrum of mythical birds with unique elemental stuff? I’ll get my box of cereal ready! HELL YEAH WE’RE GONNA PECK SOME… oh.
So by boss Arena you mean have tough (high hp) enemy sway side to side with an attack gimmick. Ok…not much of a boss but ok…do they multi phase at least? Well if by multi fast you mean they throw in an additional attack and attack faster then…sure. They have a “Final” attack that if you do enough damage to them you can bypass…and that’s about it.

First of all: This is not a classic Shoot’em Up, because all you will be doing here is one bossfight after the other. There is no real story behind it, and if there was maybe a small table of text in the beginning of the game, I have totally forgotten about it, as it doesn’t matter anyway. This game is about pure action and reaction spread across 100 levels and even more challenge levels (if you dare to try them).
Although each of these levels consists of a relatively small amount of assets when it comes to background or enemy types, they are mixed up constantly so the game manages through this restriction to give the player a completely new challenge on each end every level. Where in between there are next to no loading times, wich makes the game nonstop action and because of that very enjoyable and fast paced itself.

Puzzle Tactics
Excellent RTS in the simplest form but still fun. For those commenting negatively, the graphics are not the point, its the gameplay. I wish there were more levels. It reminds me of Alpha versions of games I used to work on in the early 90s. Kudos to the developer, it was well worth the few bucks I paid for it.

Nice little puzzle game. Turn-based, comparable to chess. Difficulty is easy for adults. Maybe challenging for children. What the game lacks is keyboard control (you can’t cancel menus with Escape) and a zoom feature. Would be nice to have. Hope to see some extra maps soon. Perfectly playable under Linux through Wine.
Thank you for programming this one!

Forever and Ever
CUNNING STRATEGY AND THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP ARE YOUR GREATEST WEAPONS (BUT GUNS AND MAGIC HELP TOO)
Forever and Ever is an anime-inspired turn-based strategy game with billions of different heroes ready for adventure. In a world of heroes and villains battling for immortal glory, a strange storyteller falls from another world. As this mysterious bard, recruit uniquely generated future legends with diverse appearances, backstories, and personalities. Only your tactics and the bonds of their friendship can lead them to eternal fame and fortune!
CUNNING STRATEGY
-
Build a team from 10 different character classes that support a wide range of tactics!
-
Battle with action-packed abilities that can be customized to fit your strategy!
-
Every fight is fair- win or lose based on your decisions, not how much you’ve been grinding!
THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP
-
Discover procedurally generated backstories to reveal your heroes' past, personality, and secret ambitions!
-
Forge friendships on the battlefield whose bonds will save them in clutch moments!
-
You’ll never see the same hero twice! Forever and Ever features over 5 billion uniquely-generated characters!
-
If they die, they’re gone forever (and ever)!
Whether your heroes are ancient defective gardening robots, magical animal children, zombified party addicts, or edgelords from the future, the journey starts with an interview! Learn about each candidate’s strengths, weaknesses, backstories, and personality, and find the heroes that are right for you. Maybe your team needs an Outlaw, a rockstar gunslinger who can’t stop dishing out damage? Or a Crusader, a bulky knight-officer who shields your team from harm with the power of THE LAW? Or a blasphemous Heretic, who dares to use their magic to protect instead of fight? These character classes and more await you in the world of Forever and Ever!
Guide these heroes into battle, and soon they’ll discover Secret Techniques: modifications and additions to their original abilities to expand your tactical options. Develop a fierce warband that fights with your personal flair!
Throughout their journey, heroes develop bonds and relationships that strengthen over time. These bonds show their true power in heroes’ most dire moments, and can save them from certain death. A Crusader and a Punk, once enemies on opposite sides of the law, now fierce comrades, push each other to fight beyond their mortal limits. An Exorcist shouts a word of warning to her wife, letting her dodge a deadly blow at the last moment. A Hermit heals his rival from the brink of death, and friendship begins to replace their antagonistic feelings. What story will you and your heroes tell?
