Small co-op station game.

1 submarine, 2 players, 4 stations (steering, weapons, scanner, smelter), 1 level. essential, this feels like a minimalist version of Catastronauts that is also less exciting. You navigate the deep looking for keycards and scrap metal while fending off laser sharks, and when you enter the enemy base, it turns out they’re in another castle, and the game ends. Mind you, the concept isn’t that bad, and if the devs had put some effort into making a campaign and different enemies, it could be a lot better; but as it is, If you want to do couch co-op, I recommed springing for a better game that has more variety.

BULLET PARTY

BULLET PARTY

This is a seemingly straightforward schmup on the surface but it’s just as much a puzzle game. Levels fly at you thick & fast, and you sometimes have just seconds to destroy all the enemies onscreen. However the visuals, whilst retro, are clearly defined & even though you will perish (many times!) it never feels annoying as you get put back in again, forcing you to think quickly & remember what worked & what didn’t.

Kind of unique among the many twin stick shooters out there, and great value. Even the pulsing soundtrack is effective. Get it!

BULLET PARTY is obviously a bullet hell game. A very hellish bullet game at that.

CONS

1. Gets very hard very easily, but this is to be expected. Bullet hell game after all. (Still annoying.)

2. No level editor. I feel like a level editor would REALLY make this game, especially if you could upload your levels and others could play theeem……………………

1. Very fun experience, with lots of levels.

2. Very fun with friends.

FINAL VERDICT

BULLET PARTY is a very fun game as you can tell. The game can be annoying at times, but it’s worth the money.

Bloody Trapland 2: Curiosity

Bloody Trapland 2: Curiosity

The “Don’t Escape Trilogy” is a collection of three short first-person point-and-click adventures with static screens (no camera movement, no scrolling). The games share a creepy atmosphere and a few gameplay mechanics, but are otherwise unrelated. In the first game, you play a werewolf trying to lock himself away before a full-moon night, so that he won’t kill anyone when he turns. In the second game, you’re trying to barricade a house and protect yourself from a zombie horde. In the third game, you’re the only surviving crew member on a spaceship and need to stop “something” from getting out.

Even though the entire trilogy is available for free on Armor Games, I chose to purchase this game series on Steam because that’s how amazing ScriptWelder really is. The Deep Sleep and Don’t Escape series were some of the first PC games I ever played, and I have ScriptWelder to thank for making my early experiences so magical. I have followed each and every game you have published on AG, hunted down every achievement, set of choices, and walkthrough I could find… simply, because every single second I spent in any of your games was one of either awe, wonder, fear, or curiosity.

Flat Heroes

Flat Heroes

Despite my positive recommendation, I have one major complaint about this game: your avatar is a square that rolls to move.

Hrm… a SQUARE that ROLLS… does anyone else see the problem with the physics of this?

So if you want to move your square just a little bit, you are out of luck because the square will roll back to where you started or will roll further forward than you want if you hit a certain threshold. If your square is tilted in air, you could land on your corner and move into danger. If you land on the edge of a ledge, even if you are flat, if your center of mass is not on the ledge, you can roll off. You can wall cling, but only if one of the sides of your square completely touches the wall, so again, if your square is tilted and you hit the wall with a corner, this can mess you up. I can’t tell you how many times I got fracked by this baffling mechanic. In my humble opinion, it doesn’t make the game any more fun or unique, the game is way too hard otherwise to warrant this extra challenge, and it actually goes against the game’s minimalist street cred (if it were me, I would have made it more like Thomas Was Alone and have the little squares just slide along instead).

I absolutely recommend this game if you like easy-to-get-into platformers, couch co-op, and/or games with subtle depth.

The most recent update as of this review added Survival mode, which is really six modes (each basically an endless mode with the goal being lasting longer than anyone else, but remaining distinct enough to be different modes). This includes a mode called Twitch, which is a Twitch integrated mode that allows the audience to pick the next obstacles the streamer faces. Survival mode(s) in general each have a scoreboard for those who like to get competitive.

Bloody Trapland

Bloody Trapland

Briefly: Bloody Trapland is a precision platformer of distinct levels. Alright game, yet some game design choices are rage-inducing in a mixed way.

I bought this to a group of friends a couple of years ago to play together. We played it a couple of times (a few hours) and had fun trying to beat “the story missions”. I forgot about it for a long time before coming back on a couple of occasions to beat the rest of the levels by myself. I consider it one of the hardest platformers I’ve played.

Real player with 20.3 hrs in game

Bloody Trapland is a platformer, where you need to reach the end of the levels, avoiding dying in brutal ways.

The game graphically is well made, it contains gore which is looks decent. Also, the different enviroments looks good in the game too. I didn’t saw any visual bug throughout my playtime.

Controlls are really easy. You need 5 buttons to play the game and you can play with controller too, but I recommend playing with a keyboard. Works like a charm!

Music and sounds are okay at first, however for me, later become bit repetitive, because of the few different sound effect and just a few music per world. However, it’s still okay.
