Lovely Planet 2: April Skies

Lovely Planet 2: April Skies

Pretty good follow up to Lovely Planet 1. There were a few problems at launch but the dev has got those issues fixed now.

It is easier but its still just as fun. My only complaint is that there isn’t as much baddie variety. Homing baddies, random bullets, and blue baddies have been replaced with a love angel that quickly homes onto you and tries to smooch you. While the new baddie is a great replacement for random bullets, it still feels a bit lacking without homing baddies. I think they may have been removed because is harder to parry because hit boxes are very tight, even without considering how massive they were in Lovely Planet 1.

**TL;DR Very good Speedrun FPS game. Easier/smoother skill curve. Faster paced than the original but overall has easier level design. Music and sound effects are great.

Competing on the leaderboards require running diagonally for a speed boost which can be awkward but adds another layer of skill.

Length depends on how much you want to replay levels for better times. Without that, expect anywhere from 2-8 hours.

Highly recommended.**

Video coming soon hopefully. Not to bring attention to myself. Playing LP2 made me want to make a few videos. That hasn’t happened in years, so I’m running with it.

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?!

This one is a solid sequel ill start with that.-

Still keeps all aspects of the original game, as in you are gonna be tense more than once, testing your patience to avoid a game over… (looking at you

! Arcane Realm) REEEEE .-

Sound design: as with the first game, it is top notch, you WILL be using sound as a tool to get around and the game does this aspect beautifully.-

Played with no issues on a xbox one controller, and controls in general are responsive, no issue on that end as well.-

OH MAN WHAT A SEQUEL! Another great game by InvertMouse we have here, Clea 2 takes the foundation of the first game and spice it up to make it interesting. New gameplay mechanics are present as well and they feel natural, If you played Clea 1 you’ll feel right at home. Also Fluorine is GREAT lead, and I enjoyed her journey. The Story also more deep than Clea 1, but some of the characters kind come and go (Nacy looking at you) but either than it it’s fine. Overall GREAT GAME and I recommend it to anyone who is into the genre/who has played the first game as well!

I can’t say it’s the best among all the Yuri game i have played, but it is indeed the mostly anticipated. The characters are so cute.

Distant Memoraĵo presents a dramatic story between Rin and Ruka and a heart-warming past between Ruka and Rei. The beautiful element of The Expression Amrilato series in its narrative is the language barrier that exists to separate Rin from Ruka while highlighting Rin’s homesickness from time to time. Although, you might feel disappointed with the lack of Juliamo lessons which has been one of the main features of the previous installment. Nevertheless, Distant Memoraĵo has beautifully emphasized Rin and Rei’s emotions by putting Ruka as their common interests.

I was just browsing the store for a cheap game and found this wonderful game. I had no idea what the game was like and immediately saw the art style which already settled the deal for me. I enjoyed the overall gameplay the most however. It was your standard RPG game except for the fact where you get to pick your main character and 3 others to follow which will later on impact your game. I also enjoyed the aspects of the rivalry system the game had to offer and

! the different ending that you can achieve in the game . The game had several unique aspects to it that really made me happy when i bought this game. I plan on playing this game more and grinding up those achievements! This game really is a game that will stick with me for a long time.

I liked the match tiles quality but not the silly story

Played this game over about 2 weeks every night while falling asleep, or as a brain teaser occasionally throughout the day. Love the small challenge in it and the fact that there is a relaxed mode with no time limit, so that you can wind down with the game. Easy achievements as well! It’s a little gem of a game for calming yourself down or adding to a nighttime routine, at least in the short term.

Honestly a great puzzler. Seems that the level design likes to punish “going with the flow” blindly, so you need to always stay on your toes. Seems difficult enough that it’s actually not suitable for small children.

The biggest detriment and unfortunately the biggest component of its difficulty is the “floaty” physics: the character’s acceleration from pressing arrow keys is linear; there’s no initial rapid acceleration from stand-still that almost all good games have.

Welcome To… Chichester 2 - Part II : No Regrets For The Future

Welcome To… Chichester 2 - Part II : No Regrets For The Future

Disclosure: During the early access stages of this game’s development, I accepted an offer to proofread it, and repeated the exercise just ahead of final release. This will have no bearing on my assessment of the entertainment on offer.

Albeit with one episode left to follow, this game may represent the end of a journey for this series which has seen it progress from shallow and somewhat under-cooked, to massively improved with engaging plot, character backstories, more graphical interest and more in-game extras.

Welcome to.. Chichester Part II: No regrets for the future gives a reflection on early meetings between the impish archenemy Grendel and the Protagonist during the holiday capers from WTC 2 Part 1. The recollections take us back to the very first interactions between them during the Protagonist’s first mission, giving an insight into the developing kinship that not only causes concerns for Grendel’s father but also becomes a confliction of interests since Grendel’s father belongs to a rival secret organisation ‘pet insurance’ company.

Oik 3

This just came out of the “Steam is Learning” phase and the devs upped the achieves to 5000.

This is part of the reason why “Steam is Learningj” was implemented in the first place, to stop devs/games from spamming achieves.

Edit: I was informed by the dev that this game was released before Steam implemented its “steam is learning” protocol, which this behavior, ironically, is why “Steam is Learning” was even created in the first place! O.o

Keep it up and Steam will find a way to cut you guys down some more and ruin it for others who are doing the right thing.

Games such as Minecraft, Dark Souls, or Assassin’s Creed mechanics are so good they can be copied and improved upon. I wouldn’t class Zup as a game changer though. The first game was fun, because it was something we hadn’t seen before, but once you got to terms with the game, every other Zup/Oik title since then has been the same thing, as far as gameplay and graphics are concerned. Adding a portal or making it possible to reverse the gravity isn’t going to change the fact that this style of gameplay is going nowhere real quick.

Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom

Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom

So this is the first sequel in the Wonder Boy/Monster Land series since Wonder Boy 6 in 1994 for the Mega Drive(Japan only), but it continues the Wonder Boy III:Dragon’s Trap(Master System, 1989) concept of Wonder Boy progressing through different man-animal forms to regain his human form and being centred around a town(“Lupia”) from which you explore out in all directions, finding that on certain paths you can only go so far and need to transform to another animal or find new armour and equipment to go further. This time the concept has been broadened with all the humans in Monster Land being turned into human-animals and Wonder Boy has to find a way to restore himself and everyone else to human form with a much larger world to explore. “Wonder Boy” in this game is called Jin and is blue-haired so presumably a descendent of Shion, the “Wonder Boy” of Wonder Boy 5, who was supposed to descend from the main Wonder Boy, Bocke Lee Temjin, the blonde hero of the original Wonder Boy, Wonder Boy II: In Monster Land and Wonder Boy III:Dragon’s Trap(ok so his hair colour was changed to green here).

A graphically amazing game that loses its luster towards the end. As I’m writing this review, I’m really struggling whether it’s thumbs up or down. Technically, the game touches perfection but in terms of content the game leaves a lot to be desired. Without mentioning the price.

Monster Boy is kind of a sub-brand for Wonder Boy. Those games can be part of either or both series. This all stems from the strange licensing patterns of Sega and Westone. Sega reserved the rights to the game’s titles and characters but Westone reserved the rights to everything else. Here you can clearly see the influences from the both brands but especially Wonder Boy III.
