春と修羅｜Haru to Shura
I felt that I should review this game because I can find very little online about it, and thought it deserved a little more recognition. I will fully admit that I heard about and was interested in this game because of Studio Pixel’s involvement. However, I was pleasantly surprised to see that it had the same graphical charm and polish we saw in Cave Story and Kero Blaster, but has an identity of its own. Gameplay takes a backseat here to story, and it works very well with the medium. It felt similar to a visual novel with the heavy amounts of dialogue, but it knows when to give the player a break and move around. The game is about three hours long and I enjoyed it the whole way through. I do not wish to get into spoiler territory but I suggest playing this game blind as it gives one a lot to ponder.

As a fan of Studio Pixel’s other works, this was a game that I was excited for in the months leading up to its sequel. Getting to play it, a lot of things stayed true to the quality of Studio Pixel’s other games. The pixel art and OST are both phenomenal, and the game is able to convey complex thoughts with minimalistic output. That said, this game also has some flaws that definitely were noticeable and that can impact your enjoyment of the game.
Note that as of the time of writing this review I have only gotten one ending, which appears to have been the true / good ending to the game.

Demon heart
Demon heart - бродилка, сделанная в рисованном стиле. Графика простенькая, но стильная, нопоминающая игры, сделанные на RPG Maker. Хорошая фоновая музыка добавляет атмосферы игре. Завязка сюжета довольно проста - победить демонов, которые обитают на пяти разных островах. В общем за первые 2 часа игры - мне нравится. Посмотрим, как будет дальше.

Allan
I enjoyed playing Allan.
Allan is twin-stick shooter with some puzzle mechanics.
The whole game is like an old Zelda 2D dungeon crawler with an interesting work on light and shadow with 3D depth.
The ambiance is nice, you can just follow the adventure to discover secret rooms and power ups.
Enemies encounter are lethal which is nice to add some challenge.
Worth its cost as a small game!

Allan is a game with a very strong ambiance.
Of course there are puzzles and ennemies but the main thing about it is what it inspires.
You walk in a space that is no different from top down action rpg you could have played on Super NES or Genesis, stuff like a link to the past, but with a really deep 3D effect, combined with shadows and lights that really make you feel small and in danger.
Also, sound effects make you enter the game quite strongly, even if at start, it does not seem to do it.
Most of the time it is quite calm but then, you walk on a trap, get shot… or an ennemy sees you and starts running closer.

Cursed Treasure 2 Ultimate Edition - Tower Defense
Cursed Treasure 2 Ultimate Edition includes all existing game content of Cursed Treasure 2, plus 3 hand-crafted new levels! The total game re-balance and new mission rating system makes it more fun to play all previous levels once again, even if you have played before.
The mission rating mechanism has been changed from “Don’t touch my gems” to “Come touch my gems” that you always get a 3-star rating for the mission as long as there are still 3 gems on the field! The enemy waves have been adjusted and where the gem dropped will also affect enemies’ behaviors, all of these make the gameplay enjoyable with various of skills and tactics for many possible combinations.
Localization support: Chinese, German, French, Russian… and your native language may be eventually added at any time!
Why be good when you can be… bad? Cursed Treasure 2 is an addictive tower-defense game that puts the power of darkness at your fingertips. As a creature of ultimate evil, you don’t ask for much… just to raze the odd kingdom and have your cache of all-powerful magical gems safely hidden away. Too bad the (ugh) good guys are out to steal them. Using the powers of the orcs, demons, and undead, you’ll build unique and powerful towers along paths to destroy any hero that dares get close.
Upgrade your undead crypts to instill fear in foes that make them flee in the opposite direction, or turn your demonic temples into mighty icons capable of turning the ground to lava beneath anyone’s feet. You’ll upgrade and enhance each unique type, and of course, unlock spells of your own to enter the fray… when the going gets tough, the tough drop meteors on everyone else, after all.
Sure, your enemies have paladins and angels and ninjas and more, but when you’ve got power like yours, they’ll wish they stayed at home. Cursed Treasure 2 is casual but engaging tower-defense with style, packed with 27 levels that can be conquered normally or in Night Mode for even more challenge. It’s good to be bad.

Hell Firefighter
So you’ve read the description of the game and you’re now looking at the comments for guidance. Take a look at my video posted above, I give you everything you need to know about the game and then some.
As for the game itself, it plays like it was carried over/ported over from mobile devices. There are no settings in the game so be prepared to be blasted by music at launch. There is no way to actually exit the game other than stopping the program directly. The gameplay is slow and clunky. Overall, it’s only a dollar (USD) and if you play it more than once it will have paid for itself as a time waster.

MIDNIGHT Remastered
Pretty interesting game that kept me entertained. 10/10 would recommend compared to the other games classified as a indie horror. Still can’t figure out the last achievement though.. :/

Fun little indie pixel horror based loosely off of the ‘Midnight Man’ urban legend/game.
When you start, your character has already completed the ritual which bummed me out because I like going through the candle lighting and knocking and stuff. No worries though!
My biggest challenge when beating this game was remembering where things were. The object is to collect seven envelopes that are marked with one of the deadly sins from the bible. Luckily they aren’t randomly placed so it’s just a matter of finding them all and not running out of matches before you can escape.
