I think the game is really amazing. The art style is great. The game starts relativly easy and the later levels are difficult but never unfair. I had a lot of fun!

Hard2Fly

Hard2Fly is like Civilization.

In Civilization, you always feel like “one more turn”. Then you realize you played for much longer than you intended.

In Hard2Fly, you always feel like “one more try”. Then you realize you played for much longer than you intended.

Grandma’s Footsteps

Grandma’s Footsteps

Inspired by the classic children’s game: ‘Red Light Green Light’… comes a… not so children’s game.

The Story

You are staying at your Grandma’s house for the weekend to keep her company. Now, your Grandma is famous in the family for her cookies! And being the ‘cookie-loving’ grandson that you are, you cannot keep your mind off of her scrumptious, freshly baked goods!

As you explore through the different rooms of Grandma’s house, you notice Grandma getting on with her day to day house-work and activities: sweeping the hallway, cleaning the dishes, catching up on knitting projects and so on…

You and Grandma are best of friends! She takes you to the park to feed the ducks, to the beach to build sandcastles together and she always has her renowned cookies an arms length away! You’ve always wanted to learn to make cookies with her, but every time you ask to she refuses, saying how she’ll take her secret cookie recipe to the grave with her!

As the years have gone by, Grandma’s eyes have been getting worse, as has her memory! She always forgets where she leaves her glasses.

She likes to joke when she tells you her bedtime stories, saying how she carries a shotgun on her at all times in case intruders try to steal her recipe!! Grandma does make you laugh, you love her silly stories!

The Game

So how do you play Grandma’s Footsteps?

Grandma’s house is made up of 6 different rooms (levels). To unlock the next room along you will need to approach grandma in the current room you are in to receive a cookie!

But Grandma is always on the look out for intruders after her secret cookie recipe!

Grandma isn’t wearing her glasses, meaning she cannot see her Grandson properly… So when she turns around… don’t move, or else her bedtime stories you so well know and love, may just become reality…

Blast Brigade vs. the Evil Legion of Dr. Cread

Blast Brigade vs. the Evil Legion of Dr. Cread

Overall

Objectively 8/10 - but subjectively - would play again. And again. And … again. And again.

Blast Brigade is a Metroidvania Platformer that takes everything about the current Metroidvania Zeitgeist and puts it on its head. Dark and Depressing is replaced with Bright and funny. Nail-biting hard is replaced with approachable while challenging. It’s a game that doesn’t have many similarities to current average MEtroidvanias, and that’s what makes it my recommendation. I just enjoy my time in it - it feels good on a basic level that just makes it a joy to play and replay.

This game is really great and very entertaining to play. I really like how challenging the boss fights have been. I would highly recommend this game to everyone!
