RASHLANDER
Super addictive! Simply beautiful pixels and physics!! Action packed! Loaded with tons of challenges and secrets! I have the arcade version at my work (Tappers Arcade Bar Indianapolis, IN) and its hard to do my job because I want to set a higher score than my Rashlander rival, Todd, as we have had an incredible time shredding this game apart. This is among my intensely beloved and ultra favorite indie titles. GET IT!! DIE A LOT!! FIND SECRETS!! STREAM IT!! 3 3 3 Thanks for such a shiny gem, Ryan D.!!

Very tightly designed arcade roguelike. Surprisingly large amount of unlockable content with a strong core gameplay loop. The game itself doesn’t change much throughout a playthrough, but amps up in difficulty and is very satisfying to build up your skills. I’d compare it to downwell which is an amazing game, this one is strong enough at its core to be a challenging lunar-landing style roguelike. It probably won’t entertain you forever, but it is well worth its value. Any arcade game lover will appreciate this game!

Hecaton
A good game, a hidden gem.
I can see the similarities between this game and Risk of Rain 1.
You start with 1 of 8 unlock-able characters and proceed through different platforming maps. Each map places you at the “start” and you need to activate your compass to see where the beacon is. Destroy the beacon and the end-level fight unlocks. Then proceed as quickly as you can to the end-level fight where you beat a swarm of spawning enemies, and after a certain time frame is over, you phase to the boss battle. Beat the boss and you proceed to the next map.

Roguebreaker
It has been a pleasure working with Josh Bergasse to playtest Roguebreaker and watch it develop from the earlier builds. The game has come a long way, and I honestly believe that Josh has created a product worthy of your time and attention.
Roguebreaker is a passion project that Josh wanted to see come to fruition long before coding even began. The concept of an 80s themed arcade game with modern conveniences and features (level editor, workshop support, incredible powerups, etc.) was one that he knew would be a perfect blend, and he was right.

This review was not sponsored by, or paid for by, any entity or being in all of creation. There was a free key given to me, simply because they wanted exposure. so. here it is.
RogueBreaker is a hellishly fun game that aesthetically takes you back to the NES days of Arkanoid (if you remember that). Its music is absolutely immersive and brutal, but also light hearted. Its gameplay is friendly to start off with, but it gets harder…and harder… and harder… AND HARDER until it goes absolutely APE!@#$ insane!.

I personally really enjoyed playing it. The game is very direct, simple to understand with a really reasonable price. I would definitely recommend the game to my friends. There is a leaderboard at the end, the scores from other countries can be viewed and that was one thing that made me play over and over again.
