Zool Redimensioned
A great remaster, built from the ground up, of this classic platformer.
I described this game on stream as “a fantastic remake of a troubled game” because the original versions of Zool have not aged well at all. From the small viewport, to the floaty controls (exacerbated by the game being inherently designed for the 50 FPS Amiga and not optimised for its subsequent releases in the US), it doesn’t play as nostalgia remembers it.
The remaster, however, does a grand job of making the 60 FPS framework work by massively increasing the screen real estate, improving the once-slippery controls, and adding an absolute game-changer (at least in the Redimensioned mode) of the Double Jump. These updates make Zool Redimensioned an absolute joy to play - everything feels tight, precise, and you almost always feel fully in control of every movement you make.

Playing the original back in the day, I always found Zool ‘fun’, but attempting to go back to it these days has been hard with its slippery controls and generally unforgiving nature.
Zool Redimensioned however, isn’t just the original game slapped into an emulator. This game is tight and redesigned to play so much smoother, with I believe redesigned levels too and with a lot more quality of life improvements. For one, the screen is zoomed out more so you can see more of the level before you, and Zool handles now like a dream. The game plays wonderfully and it shows an expert use of nearly 30 years of hindsight to improve, yet keep the charm of the Ninja from Nth Dimension. And hey, if you prefer the original, it’s here too!

Ninja Stealth
To me, this game is simply awesome.
I played a lot of these stealth games, but always on Flash websites and with different graphics.
Of course, this game hasn’t awesome graphics - it runs perfectly and fast, but has a top down camera and everything is pretty minimalistic.
I think this is the maximum I can take - every other game since the ’90s, the stealth things, I hate them all XD
Back to this, you’re a ninja who looks like the turtles of the old cartoons (ok this is to me at least ahah) and you’ve got to find keys computers and other things in every single level and get to the end.

This is kind of sad, it’s in the style of the first Ninja Stealth, so it is better than Ninja Stealth 2, but it’s a downgrade from 1 in several ways.
The first one had an interesting interconnected maze between the puzzles that created a larger atmosphere and the music kept the pace of the game flowing naturally. Two went off and became a weird RPG-ish mimic that wasn’t as good as the original.
Three is back to the style of one with the puzzles, but it lacks the interconnecting maze; each puzzle is a stand alone small room so there’s no larger sense of exploration anymore. And it completely lacks music during the puzzles, it’s only on the menu. One of the best parts of the previous games was the music and it’s missing.

Setting Sun
Setting Sun is an Co-op Rogue-lite Dungeon Crawler.
It’s set in a universe during the Japanese Edo period where Yokai roam the world freely.
The land is in turmoil because the Shogun rules with an iron fist.
A couple of wanderers answer the call to help mankind and fight the source of the corruption together.
THE SHOGUN’S DOMAIN
Traverse through a randomly generated room-based dungeon covering multiple zones on your way to the castle.
Several different types of rooms can be discovered on your way to the boss like enemy rooms, healing rooms, gamble rooms,…
THE SHINTO PANTHEON WATCHES OVER YOU
You have a chance to discover Dragon Shrines in the dungeon which will allow you to alter your abilities for that dungeon run.
So each time you start a new dungeon run you can try out a different build.
REBUILD THE VILLAGE
Aside from the dungeon the game also contains a village.
The village is like a sanctuary for the player where he can roam around before and after dungeon runs, talk to NPCs, buy upgrades, craft gear and more!
When you first start the game, the town is pretty abandoned.
But along your travels in the dungeon, you have a chance to find new characters to recruit to your town which unlocks new features.
For example finding Masamune on your travels will unlock the blacksmith in town and will allow you to craft new gear with better stats.
THE WANDERER
Multiple classes are planned but the first playable class in Setting Sun is the Ronin.
A Ronin was a Samurai without a master. An expert in the art of sword fighting but one who chose not to honor the code of the Warrior and thus considered “on his own” or a vagrant.
MAIN FEATURES
-
Slice your way through a procedurally generated dungeon
-
Master a skill-based fighting system
-
Learn the ways of the Ronin class (and several other classes planned)
-
Fight the Shogun’s army, thiefs, Yakuza and even Yokai
-
Try out different builds each run by discovering new blessings
-
Play the game solo or couch co-op
-
Recruit new allies and bring life back to the village
-
Unlock new buildings and features in town
-
Find new patterns to craft different gear sets or cook new Sushi dishes
-
Enjoy a unique trapanese soundtrack
-
Take a relaxing bath in the hot springs
