Think_
Think_ as a game is pretty mediocre. Although the game does have a few slightly relatable emotional moments, it lacks in it in lack of gameplay, it’s price (it should be worth a dollar or two or nothing at all), the abyssmal sprite work, glitches, and just in general play value or replayability. The game can be beaten in probably half an hour and is not worth the price it has. After being beaten, the game seems to leave you in a soft lock which leaves you with no way to play the game. The game lacks charm and all and all, the only thing I enjoyed in it was the music, when it wasn’t blasting my ears out of course. 2/10, would not recommend.

I’m a sucker for short games with bad graphics, what can I say? The music is pretty good too. Only complaint is that the game doesn’t allow you to play it for a second time. I wanna see what happens if I name my character Paul :(. I don’t see an issue with the price, I just wanted to get rid of some money ngl.

Date Night Bowling
The arcade bowling is solid - I can consistently get strikes, but curving/spin isn’t particularly intuitive. Unfortunately, each character has a single phrase you have to confirm through every single time they come up to bowl. You have to play as everyone in single player before they’re available in vs. mode (whether AI or human). The minigames are fun and themed to the bowling alley. Achievements, at least at launch, appear to be not be functioning. If you’re looking for some casual arcade-style bowling, you’ll find it here - everything else feels a little thin.

Rainbow Billy: The Curse of the Leviathan
Rainbow Billy: The Curse of the Leviathan is a pacifist, pokemon-esque game with visuals inspired by old rubber hose cartoons and/or Cuphead. I would recommend playing with a controller.
The game was very fun and easy to play, the game also offers varying difficulty settings to make it easier if need be. I really enjoyed the battle system and the creature collection. For how few levels there are, there are quite a few creatures to befriend. Each of the creatures have two designs, one black and white and one in colour. I like the edgy look of the black and white designs better personally, but the colour designs look alright. You can level up your creatures only twice, but each creature has a backstory that’s revealed through levelling up, so there is a bit of content in those two level ups.

The adventures of Rainbow Brilly… sorry, I mean Billy, is one that very few people can’t relate to in some way. Whether it be from the semi-nostalgic art style, being a mixture of Paper Mario’s style and a lot of classic 2.5D games, or the various mini-games that count as “actions” for you to find, it’s hard to deny that this Rainbow has a color for everyone, even if it doesn’t seem quite in your spectrum.
For the positives of this game, I’d commend it’s simple, yet still interactive style of puzzles and encounters or “confrontations” as they’re called. Your objective in almost every fight is to color your opposition’s world; and I said opposition instead of opponent because there’s not really that many characters that are outright antagonistic as their point. They’re trouble souls, just like you, and your way of combating their gray outlook on life is to talk to them and use the support of your other friends and /their/ other friends to help them realize that there’s more to life than just one shade.

Hardly a day goes by where Lena is not bullied in some way. Why? Because she is not like the others.

Alan Sharp
After the demo I couldn’t wait for the first chapter. As a fan of mysteries this hit the right spot for me.
The game never felt stale (as many horror/puzzle games can be at times), interesting narrative, amazing story/writing. First playthrough was with constant shivers in my spine. I was not a big horror game fan but this game is starting to maybe change my perspective of the genre.
Game felt much more smoother than the demo, for example the walking and looking around with the mouse with motion blur turned on (which I usually turn off in games because it’s rarely done right) felt very snappy and responsive, in simple words it’s done right. Overall, the optimization is pristine. The fact that it was made with no budget and only 2 friends, it’s amazing. The amount of work, time and commitment must have been huge!

Game could use some good polishing especially with it’s menu and game pad support would make later parts of Sharp much easier.
Although nowhere near as solid as similar titles like Silver Chains, Sharp’s four hours is worth the elbow-grease but sadly not its asking retail.
Sharp is not just another foreign walking simulator remixing assets as there is some sophistication to it’s game play and efforts in presentation and voice-acting but Sharp also isn’t enjoying the Playstation 2 era it replicates where low calibur productions easily barked up eBay bids beyond the fifty dollar mark.
