Shoot Shoot Mega Pack
This is a super fun game that’s easy to learn, feels light and whimsical on the surface, but the more you play, the more you realize that the game has serious depth and replayability. The sheer number level and game mechanic permutations is awesome and makes every round feel fresh and different. The controls are slick, excellent game feel, and the art and sound design are great too.
Round up some friends, grab some controllers, and I guarantee you’re going to have some good fun.

Like Jason P. Kaplan, I am also a character in this game. I was also present when it was invented, and I watched it grow up like a sturdy oak.
But if I thought it was bad, I would just say nothing.
It’s good. It’s smooth. This is multiplayer mayhem burnt down to an essential, all-shooting diamond of a thing.
If you have friends, buy SSMP. If you do not have friends, I don’t know. You live in great denial.

AT SUNDOWN: Shots in the Dark
Disclaimer: I played this game a lot during the PC beta (free invite from devs), and just got it for my Switch today (paid myself). On to the review…
Ok so you’ll definitely have fun playing this game with your friends/family, it’s really simple to pick up and have fun with different weapons. If you like Towerfall or Gang Beasts this is similar but with more variety/replayability. You’ll want to own some controllers if you want to play local through steam.
But this game really gets good once you get past the intial learning and get into the M I N D G A M E S. I love playing a unpredictable mix of stealth and speed. Your opponent gets scared that you are sneaking right next to them so they shoot blindly giving away their position. Then when they drop their guard, you rush right at them.

Played the demo of this game at WTFox 2 in 2016, and I loved it. I waited years for it to finally come out, and when it did I bought it immediately. I think the game in its current state is fun, but it’s hard to recommend a game like this with a nonexistent playerbase. Fun for some living room multiplayer, but not much else

INVERSUS Deluxe
This game is what arcade games strive to be: easy to learn, but difficult to master. This super simple eight button control setup takes seconds for any veteran game to figure out and even someone new to games should be able to understand it in under a minute. Four buttons to move, four buttons to shoot. What could be easier? While each map starts out nice and easy with some slow enemies that aren’t very harmful, the pace picks up fairly quickly, introducing faster and more complicated enemies. With the chain-combo and hit streak mechanics, this is both a blessing and a curse. The game rewards you for pulling off risky maneuvers, but itsn’t going to hand you lots of opportunities for easy points. I keep finding myself backing into a corner trying to lure large groups of basic enemies together to get one large combo just to get hit from behind by a newly-spawned enemy from a spot I just wasn’t paying enough attention to. After that, I have to fight to take back any chunk of the map I can so that I’m not locked into a tiny space and picked off easily by even the most basic enemies.

Wow i got to play this at pax east and it was a lot of fun. Playing that again i feel like its even more polished and awesome now! They managed to make the single player REALLY enjoyable for high score chasers like myself cant wait to dive back in. I also got to dive into some multiplayer which i was really excited for. Someone named Gongon poped into my game and we went back and forth at it for about an hour stright !!! keep in mind matches last what, maybe 2 minutes or so ? so you can do the math how many matches we played ! You can tell after a while we were both playing mind games and trying different strats on each other, what a blast.

Nurose
Nurose is online dueling game where you fight others with custom spells. It has a custom spell building system that allows players create unique attacks. The game has a high focus on gameplay customizability and has a high skill ceiling.
Custom Spells
Central to Nurose is the unique spell building system. Spells are built by visually programming glyphs in a staff. There are 30+ glyphs ranging from simple movement glyphs to complex conditional glyphs. You don’t need to level up to earn new glyphs or staffs. Each glyph is available from the start so everyone is on a even playing field.
The possibilities of this are endless. Some spells that you could make include:
-
Mines that explodes when the enemy is near.
-
A shield made up of projectiles in a semi circle.
-
Anti-missile attack that will look for enemy projectiles and destroy them.
-
Spell that makes decoy clones and moves them in specific directions.
What sets the great players apart are their skill in spell building and mastering their builds. When you have made a build, enter online matchmaking and fight others with your spells.
Online matchmaking
In online matchmaking you will fight others in a 1v1 best of 5 game. Each player has several staffs available. The game is made in a custom engine with rollback netcode for optimal online experience.
Super Space Shooter Arena
Are you looking to grab control of a spaceship and shoot your friends? Well, this is the game for you. Set up for local free-for-all or team-battles you will have a blast blasting away at your friends. You have 3 lives to eliminate the other players and grab the glory of owning the space ring. Shoot your trusty arrows at enemies to get them out of the ring or stun them so that you can push them out. Maybe jump in when two ships are already fighting to eliminate both of them, whatever it takes there are no rules in war . You can charge your arrows to travel faster and to deal more damage, but watch out because enemy arrows can cancel yours if they are the same size, if they are different sizes then the stronger one will eat the bigger one but get smaller. You have a certain amount of arrow you can shoot at a time so don’t waste them all at once. Some pick-ups will help increase that number though. Is a pick-up too far for you to reach before an enemy, just shoot an arrow at it to destroy it. If you can’t have it no one can. There are 4 levels at the moment, 2 static and 2 dynamic. The dynamic levels are the same as the static levels until a certain kill count is reached and then the middle panel(s) lower, creating another area from where you can be eliminated.

Short Version Review
A simple and amazing action-packed game that manages to be fun, nostalgic, and challenging. If you are looking for a game to pass some time, have some fun, shoot some bad guys and have fun alone or with your friends, BUY THIS GAME NOW.
==================
Full Review Below
This amazing game is not only nostalgic, but it is incredibly fun. You can play alone, you can play with friends, you can play online and local co-op. This game not only brings the nostalgic feeling of the 1980’s in a wonderful, funny and entertaining way, but it is also challenging and has many play styles, characters, and weapons to choose from.

Long story short, this game is an overpriced, junky flash game, at least at the time of this review.
The game has its humor and it’s clearly visible what it wants to be, but it completely falls on its face. I can give it credit for its humor and the nice art and all, but mechanically, this is a complete mess. I’ve been waiting until I was finished the campaign to write this review, and it was an honest pain. Bugs a-plenty (This isn’t Early Access, and is $12.99 as of this post), locked aiming to only cardinal and diagonal directions (I don’t care what your piss-poor reasoning behind having it be this way is, it sounds more like an excuse than an actual reason), glitchy as all hell UI (Ammo literally never showed correctly for me what my current magazine was, as well as a bunch of times where dialogue windows would cover the game), and just poor balance (Difficulty is easy in the first world, ramps pretty high in comparison for the second, levels off with an okay ramp-up for the third and fourth, and then just out of nowhere becomes absurd on the fifth). Most of the bosses just seem lazy, especially the Killionaire and Ghoul Squad ones. The champion enemies that drop health and ammo have a crazy-high health multiplier to the point that it takes several mags to destroy one if the wrong enemy happens to get it, and in the case of the last world, if the floating head enemies are a champion, they have health equal to that of a miniboss, and still never actually drop their equipment. Melee is a completely useless function for the most part, the character differences don’t really make a noticeable impact until you’re forced to change your playstyle because of the level’s enemies, guns don’t very well describe how they are in comparison to others, despite their being stat windows for each, each weapon requires you to essentially run around in circles and endlessly kill enemies to grind for the money to buy them, instead of just being accomplishment rewards, or having the prices be within check. I haven’t tried the multiplayer, but if it’s as bad as the singleplayer is with its glitches and problems, I dread to think about it. There’s so many issues for a game that’s supposed to be finished that it’d be laughable if it wasn’t so frustrating and disappointing trying to, in vain, have an enjoyable time with it.

Super Squad
I started playing this game in closed beta, I was super fortunate that they reached out to me as a small streamer, I got involved and have been able to watch the progress done throughout the last year and I can honestly say this game rocks! The dev team is super active within the community and constantly working on taking in suggestions and working on improvements. If you haven’t downloaded yet, do it now. Get in while everyone still sucks at the game and you can be a pro in no time. I guarantee a year from now everyone is gonna be really good so watch out!

Super Squad is a fun little game that once you get the hang of it there are hours of of fun to be had. If you are solo or want to play with friend’s this really could be the game for you. The dev’s are active friendly an have a very friendly discord community. To play a non toxic team v team game is a nice change. at almost 100 hours play time i can say i have enjoyed it. Super Squad has a learning curve at first but push on once you get the hang of it great time’s can be had well done BadFox. I never said IT IS FREE meaning there is no reason not to check it out.

Swarm Arena
Do not be fooled by the steam store page, this game has fully implemented online play through the steam system. I bought it for it’s gameplay, and still enjoy it for that and it’s well done online laddering.
Not only are the controls solidly simple, but they also allow for quite a few physics based trickes to be pulled off. This results in gameplay that rarely gets dull and allows the player’s playstyle to clearly show in multiplayer matches.

This game is absolutely fantastic. After a while of searching for a multiplayer, fast-paced action game for a great price I came to this gem. The gameplay is fast but responsive and skillful, there isn’t a moment where you feel cheated by the controls. There’s not a flaw in this game and you could easily kill hours playing this. Would recommend.
It’s also a perfect price to gift a friend after you learn the skills then kick their butt.. until they get better than you xD

Super Neo Tanks
This game is actually pretty fun if you have friends for local multiplayer. I find the dash mechanic unique, and it really adds a lot of skill into the game. If you love tank games, this is one to try out. Sure it may have some bugs at the moment. And there isn’t online multiplayer either, but you can’t complain about that because it isn’t advertised so. Great job devs.

It would be much better if there was an online mode and a single mode where you could fight AI tanks. Also, the game is good, similar to the tank mini-game in Wii Play.
