Aesthetic Melody
The game is hard and challenging.. Especially the ++ parts but with the soundtrack and all it’s a e s t h e t i c.
The only issue i had was the little stuttering effect (it’s VHS and all but it’s annoying especially while dodging stuff because you literally move an extra step etc. then restart…)
With all that in mind, i recommend the game and don’t forget to be patient !

Bro, where’s My head???
If you have ever played Zup & Oik series then you are not missing much. It’s basically the same concept. Although I do think this is an easier version of that game. It is a good place to start if you feel that some levels of “Zup & Oik” are sometimes hard to complete.
I recommend it to people who are starting out in these types of puzzle games and need time to adjust to the dynamic of the plays.
Overall, not a bad one in the bunch and a game that just about anybody can play.
5.8/10

Some people and myself included are problably fine with the fact that this game is a “Chocolate makes you happy” or even “Next” rip off in a way.
Despite the fact that it’s actually a pretty darn good one! It runs fine and it has a fun art style!
Many may not think so but looking past how simple “Bro where’s my head??” may be to some, you see complexity and creativity above all.
The road to victory presented in each level requires players to employ basic problem solving skills and rudimentary thinking.

Frustrate-a-ball
I’ve played other modern Pongs with double paddles and fast balls and whatever but none with guns and bombs and multiballs and the game gets faster every level. Frustrate-a-ball is awesome. And only a couple of bucks! Would love to play it on an arcade machine.
When I first started playing I wanted to flip the table every time I heard “you is dead” but once I got the hang of it I had to keep playing for that high score! Really cool modern Pong with powerups.

Shield Cat
Shield Cat – the Game!
Shield Cat is a game starring Lance the otter! He is a mail courier for the Cat Kingdom, delivering official letters and packages. One day, Lance wakes up and finds that the Cat Kingdom is in chaos. What’s worse, his friends seem to be responsible! What dark magic could be at work here? Lance will need all the help he can get on his adventure, both to save his friends and to save the Kingdom!
Abilities
Along the way, Lance will find abilities that can help him on his quest. You can equip and upgrade these abilities to enhance Lance’s strength and allow him to use more tools on his quest. Here are just some of the many abilities you can learn:
-
Tubular Twister: Lance’s spin attack! Use this move to get over big gaps, attack enemies, hit gears and levers, open treasure chests, and much more.
-
Shield: Lance can throw his shield to hit enemies from far away. He can also use it to solve puzzles, and upgrade it to give it more distance and range when he throws it.
-
Cards: Lance throws a continual stream of cards from a seemingly endless deck. He can use this ability to take down multiple enemies at once.
-
Dagger: Lance can aim this dagger and hit enemies from a great distance. This ability is good for people who like stealth – enemies wont even know what hit them!
-
Bombs: Lance can use these bombs to open up the path to new areas, or to damage enemies from a distance. It’s explosive fun!
-
Passive Abilities: You can find and equip passive abilities which grant you bonuses as long as they’re equipped, such as increased movement speed, surviving enemy combos, increasing the drop rate of goodies, and more! Be warned though – Equipping these passive abilities takes from your magic for as long as they’re equipped. Watch your magic meter!
-
Upgrades: Lance can find upgrades to his health, magic, and attack that permanently boost his stats.
Collectibles
During your quest, you will find several types of collectibles! Here are some of the collectibles you can find:
-
Pretty Petals: The currency of the Cat Kingdom. Use these to buy abilities and upgrades at shops.
Fish Scales: Each stage has a fixed number of Fish Scales. Use these to access new locations by train. Can you find all of them in each stage?
-
LANCE Letters: Each stage has 5 LANCE letters for you to find. However, the stages are pretty big – you’ll have to check every nook and cranny if you want to find these!
-
Cat Coin: Special currency of the Cat Kingdom. Use these to open doors and gain access to new areas.
-
Key: Each stage has a set of keys that are only useful for that stage. If you find a locked door, keep an eye out for a key!
-
Treasure Chest: Find treasure chests scattered throughout the land. It is a mystery what each one contains, but it (most likely) will aide you on your quest! If you find an ability you already have, you can sell it at the shop for Pretty Petals!
-
Fish Statue: These will permanently increase Lance’s max health, so be sure to look for them!
Locations
During your quest, you will visit many locations throughout the Cat Kingdom. Here are just some of the places you’ll visit:

Game Modes
The game supports different difficulty levels and play modes, which are detailed below! Please note that achievements will only be given on the lowest difficulty used on that play file.
-
Difficulty – Chill: An easier mode where enemies do less damage and are less aggressive, and drop more items and whatnot to help you on your journey. For younger players or players who just want to enoy the game.
-
Difficulty – Regular: The intended game experience, exactly as it was designed.
-
Difficulty – Tough: Enemies are tougher and also tougher to defeat, and drop less items and whatnot. This mode is for people who really want to test their skills.
-
Difficulty – Wild: In this mode, Lance’s attack is doubled, but so are enemy attacks! This mode is for people who like fast paced action and is the ultimate test of players skills.
-
Difficulty – Custom: Experience the game the way you like! Change Lance and enemy modifiers, drop rates, and more! Note that achievements cannot be obtained in this mode – It’s just for fun!
-
Speedrun Options: Various options can be enabled for speedrunners, including an in-game timer, automatically skipping cutscenes, reduced scene transition times, and a quick restart button that erases your file and starts from the beginning.
Demo
Currently, there is not a demo available for Shield Cat. To allow people to still play the game, I’m offering a playtest, in which you can play a non-feature complete build of the game! You can’t “beat” this demo and many things are not available, but you can check out how the development is going as I work toward the Chapter 1 demo. Please check it out!
Thank you!
Thank you for checking out my game!
Tableau Vivant
A different kind of spot the difference game. Twenty One scenes, thematically different. The player compares images before and after a dramatic event and finds the objects added to the ‘after’ image. To make the scene more complicated, generally everything in the image that could move will have moved.
Lil Big Invasion
Awesome indie game with way enough content to fit the bill. Its kinda like Pikmin except they are trapped in dungeons and you must find and rescue them.
Really loved the sound and the art-style. Dungeons are getting way harder and better later on and the boss fights are fun. It took me some time to get used to the controls tho. Exploration is great IF you figure out how the moths and the worms do work… which is not part of the tutorial :/
It’s cute but challenging and worth the money.

This is a fun little action adventure game, developed by my former colleague Andreas. It’s so cute, but challenging ‘til the last minute and the sounds are really funny, even if the little fireflies sometimes don’t behave as you want them to. But that’s the trick of the game and you’ll soon know how to handle them right in order to crack some highscores. Overall, an awesome game!

Highlights [/]

12 dark and immersive scenes
-
10 puzzles
Extremely immersive soundtrack
Hidden Histories: The Principality
Over sixty hidden object scenes to master - Themed images in each scene. Based on a fictional Principality in the Pyrenees. In each scene the player must find items from a list that are hidden within the scene’s main picture. Six hints available per scene with no cooldown period.
Luna’s Fishing Garden
Luna’s Fishing Gardenis a short, cosy fishing and building game. Players take on the role of Cassie and catch fish, trade items and create a dream garden by cleaning up, planting flora, and bringing animals to the curious archipelago.
The game sees Cassie complete quests for the various animal characters that she meets, whether it is cleaning the islands for Luna the fox or collecting specific fish for Jellybean the seal. As various tasks are completed Cassie is able to clear more of the storm’s residual fog and explore further, encountering more characters along the way. Fishing is obviously a major part of the game and can be set to either relaxing or challenging mode. There is also a definite idler aspect to the game as most farming items have a timer dictating how often they can be harvested such as the tamarillo tree which has a 95-second turnaround.

Really fun and relaxing game. The premise is simple but entertaining - catch fish and plant flora to harvest and sell for money which you can then use to plant more decorations around the colourful, pixel islands of the game. As somebody who really enjoys the fishing mechanics in Stardew Valley, this game easily had my attention for hours. If you find that method of fishing too difficult, there is an option to switch to an easier method, so the game remains fun and relaxing for people of all preferences.
