Astrologaster

Astrologaster

Let us consult the stars.

Astrologaster was one of those games that I almost passed up on. I don’t remember exactly when I first came across Astrologaster, but it didn’t click with me at first. I was just sleepily browsing the upcoming games section around midnight, as you do, and it popped up. Finding the name interesting, I clicked, looked at the screenshots, and thought “hmm, I don’t know”. I saw it a couple more times, but when it got closer to the release date I finally watched the trailer. Why I didn’t watch it before, I can only blame it on being way too tired that night. With the combination of finding the trailer and the real life element behind Astrologaster intriguing, as well as peeking at a gameplay video, I thought “Hey, why not take the chance?”. Spoiler alert, I’m glad that I did.

This game is fantastic, but I must issue a warning:

Player creativity and practice is an absolute requirement.

Some people say the game gets old quick, and that it’s too simple to squeeze enough enjoyment out of it to make it worth the money, and that d!ck jokes aren’t funny. Those people are wrong.

When I picked it up, I liked it, and it made me laugh my ass off for a bit, but I wasn’t quite hooked. Then I played a match with someone who was REALLY good at the game, and it showed me the potential for hilariously rewarding gameplay and growth through raw skill. It actually exercises your brain because you have to figure out which keys you need to push next, and in which order, while you’re helplessly rag-dolling through the air.

…I just spent almost 2 hours in an online match with some random guy. Neither of us were trying to win the game (bridge builder). We were pretty much on par with one another skill-wise in the beginning. Suddenly he pulls a fancy move and teabags my character, grabbing his head and smacking his junk against his face. It was hysterical.

I did the same thing right back, attempting to ride his face ‘Gangnam style.’

This went back and forth from a number of bizarre homo-erotic positions. The novelty just did not seem to wear off.

Road to Ballhalla

Road to Ballhalla

Road to Ballhalla is a cheeky, occasionally cruel but ultimately satisfying experience, that I would highly recommend to anyone with a taste for arcade-style platformers and puzzle games. I say this having completed 100% of the game’s achievements.

Aesthetically, with regards to its delightfully colourful design and well-suited, unintrusive yet engaging soundtrack, I can’t really fault Road to Ballhalla. The puzzles are all very much based upon rhythm and visual patterns, meaning that the audio-visual elements of the game are critically important, and I am pleased to report that they do themselves absolute justice.

Road to Ballhalla is a simple top-down arcade-style game. You control a ball, and your goal is to navigate your way through 20 levels, collecting little sparks (the game’s collectable) and avoiding dying as you go.

The game is very simple – there isn’t even a jump button. You can simply move in any direction, or speed up your rolling in a sort of dash move. The dash move makes it so you die instantly if you take damage, rather than simply… well, taking damage. This makes it risky to use at times, so it must be used judiciously.

super cute, funny narrations, addictive, levels are fast paced and fun. love it :)

A (precision) platformer with light-weighted puzzles, gentle difficulty curve, wacky plot, and hilarious narration. Especially enjoyable to play with a partner. Last few chapters could be a little bit too difficult though, but nothing insurmountable even for casual players.

Support local multiplayer, but controllers are necessary. Otherwise, you can progress in story mode with your friend in online multiplayer mode. When two computers are on the same WiFi network, the lag is nearly imperceptible.

Leave no cat behind! This game is fun and pretty crazy. Can get pretty challenging when the cats don’t all want to fit in the cupboards. And watch out for the bunny boogey man, he’s pretty quick!

Just a note, I recieved a beta key, but I have bought this game for friends who also wanted it.

I played a ton of the free beta for this game (a couple hundred hours) and helped out on the discord a lot, so I think I have a pretty good idea on what makes this game good. It’s an RPG that’s fairly lighthearted that makes fun of things like how the player tends to be a kleptomaniac stealing everything not tied down translating to the characters being kleptomaniacs. Unlike previous entries though the characters actually are more than just caricatures and act closer to real people as well as being funny parodies of stereotypes.

The Epic Battle Fantasy series has been a childhood pastime of mine ever since I discovered EBF 3 on Kongregate. From the humorous dialogue, to the many hidden secrets, to the intense strategy required for epic mode, this game was a heck of a ride and probably Roszak’s best game yet.

The story was definitely a step up from previous EBF games. The dialogue and flavor text was as hilarious as ever, with my favorite line being from a report in den of a conspiracy theorists referencing Alex Jones’s “turning the frogs gay” comment. I really enjoyed the arc with

! Lance as the main villain, since his regime provided an urgent threat and a mini-climax of the story earlier on in the game rather than only building up to the climax at the very end. I also enjoyed Matt’s occasional fourth-wall breaking since it fleshed out his character in comparison to his dumb muscle portrayal in previous games. I also found that part near the end where the people you did quests for come to help and encourage the party very heartwarming, The last phase of the final boss fight

! where the Devourer deletes the world, becomes an epic race against time that was really enjoyable.

First Impressions

Having recently played and reviewed the first game, which really disappointed me, I’m not at all looking forward to Frog Detective 2: The Case of the Invisible Wizard (FD2). Considering how well received the first game was, I don’t see the developers changing up what they did the first time, as there’s no reason to fix something that’s not broken. Knowing I’d knock it out quickly enough, I decided to play it sooner than later to find out whether I was right or wrong. To spare any potential mystery, I wasn’t off the mark in my prediction.

Frog Detective is back! A delightful sequel to the original game

Frog Detective 2: The Case of the Invisible Wizard picks up right after the events of the original game, The Haunted Island: A Frog Detective Game. In a lot of ways, the games are very similar, both are a short and easy point & click adventure game, where you play as the titular Frog Detective, who need to gather clues and figure out who the culprit is within the case. This time, you are aimed to solve a new mystery. You need to figure out who wrecked the parade the townsfolk of Warlock Woods were preparing to surprise their new neighbor, an invisible wizard?!

Overall I think the game is good I’m not sure it’s long enough or has enough to do to be worth 5.99, but it’s a cute game that kids could enjoy it’s pretty simple.

EDIT: The creator was super responsive and fixed every complaint I had about the game it’s short, but for the price of $5.99 it felt worth it.

An absolutely adorable Halloween romp through a quirky neighborhood full of people that dump gallons of candy into the bucket of a dog they think is a human. Well worth the price of admission! The developers have ironed out some minor issues too.

Be wary of Frankenstein. He’s a little Psy-cho.

The Haunted Island, a Frog Detective Game

Words can’t describe how much of a masterpiece this “game” is, but I’ll give it shot.

I put game in quotes, because you can’t really call this a game, its more of a vivid memory of your distant self who is a frog detective. The instant I clicked on the “New Game” button I became Frog Detective.

Thanks to the innovative key bindings my keyboard and mouse could truly become an extension of my body, which only resulted in letting this experience become more real. Even though I only have 50 min in this “game” it felt like I went through an entire life of pure joy.

Short game and with childish art style but somehow unique and charming!

Developed by Grace Bruxner and Thomas Bowke, The Haunted Island, a Frog Detective Game is a short (~1h) by enjoyable adventure that puts you in the role of a lovely froggy detective, who is phoned by his supervisor to investigate a strange case. On an island ruled by Martin, a sloth who crowned himself king, unexplained noises can be heard from crevices. The sloth’s first reaction is to call in a group of ghost scientists, who spend the next two weeks trying to figure out what is going on. Trying, but certainly not succeeding. That is where the Frog Detective, come in.
