Emanate

Emanate

You awake in limbo with a choice - await your fate, or find an escape. Leap your way to freedom with high speed movement and high-stakes obstacles. Experience Emanate’s atmospheric environment and fast paced soundtrack as you climb your way to the top in this single-level 3D platformer!

Gameplay

Emanate is a single-level, vertical world filled with jumping patterns made up of various platforming mechanics. The most common of which are the orange/red bounce pads, purple wall-jump pads, and the fading platforms, that vanish from under your feet after a very short amount of time. Combining these simple mechanics urges you to keep moving forward, making for some incredibly challenging and intense platforming gameplay.

What to expect

  • Moody, atmospheric environments: Starting from the bedrock of oblivion, up through deep ethereal forests and vast looming clouds, to huge other-worldly cathedrals.

  • Fast, exciting soundtrack: An ambient, break-techno tracklist that increases in speed and intensity as you progress through the game.

  • Emanation orbs: You have three chances per checkpoint to learn the patterns ahead of you. If you fall, expend an orb and you’ll recall back to the last checkpoint you activated. Any misstep after your orbs are gone and you’ll find yourself falling back down below.

I couldn’t stand it for more than a couple of minutes. The game is ugly, repetetive and looks horrendous, it plays out sluggishly and boringly. The music that starts playing when starting up the game is some stock shreeking that stabs into my brain.

It is a great, A-Grade worthy programming project for a highschooler. But it is not anthing more. It is not worth asking money on steam.

Rebound Raver

Rebound Raver

There are currently 5 Stages each with a specific design and each Stage has 10 levels to complete. There are also lots of PinBall features.such as flippers, popup targets and bumpers.

The players paddle called a Rebounder also has flippers but these can be kept in position by keeping the left or right mouse button pressed. This is good to give a slightly different bounce angle on the ball when required.

The light FX on the borders and the lazers in the corners all react to the music that is playing, which makes the music feel more immersive and keeps with the atmosphere of the game.

Wow what a great arcade game with great music. I love all the elements; the Arknoid/Breakout bat and ball game with power ups and the pinball elements with flippers, bumpers and buttons you have to hit to unlock sections of the level. Love the banging music that goes with this game. If I had to make any complaints it would be the bloom effects at the bottom of the screen sometimes make it hard to focus on the paddle; other than that I would love more music and levels (level editor perhaps to much to ask for)

They Bleed Pixels - Satisfaction that comes at a price

If you check on Steam it actually comes at pretty low price. But obviously I was not talking about money. I was talking about time (which equals money) but let talk more about why I came to such a conclusion.

So if you have read my previous review you probably guessed that I like this game because it is a 2D platformer. And yes I like platformers and I was collecting them in the past when I had time to play any games. Naturally I came across this game and loved it at first sight. And why not? I watched the trailer and I saw fast paced action, lots of different moves and attacks. I loved this simplistic but beautiful art style. It also said it was inspired H.P Lovecraft which told me absolutely nothing at first but after searching online I know all I needed. Another thing that got me really excited was the number of achievements to unlock. And my friends know that I’m a achievement-junkie. But I should have read what those achievements are about. From the tags I new it wasn’t going to be easy and I was quite ready for that. So I grabbed my controller, fired up the game and focused on my TV screen…

They Bleed Pixels is a challenging wall jump platformer, with a satisfying unique premise, quality combat and engaging mechanics.

You control a presumably troubled student at the Lafcadio Academy for troubled girls. She stumbles across a magical book that makes you have wild dreams involving a few strangely horrific creatures, several bloody spikes, and an ever present number of saws. The book also has glowing bits and pages that not only are missing, but found inside said dreams. Take heed of any such events that occur in reality, as these are not normal behaviors for books or their pages.

Absolute Drift

Absolute Drift

So, here it is. My review.

At time of posting, I have all the achievements and have 50 hours in the game.

First of all, just a general comment: I love this game. It has a great, smooth game engine and the controls are fairly easy to me. It wasn’t too hard to pick up, and learning some drifiting from Assetto Corsa and driving my Miata IRL, I can say that the physics are very realistic and it’s easy to apply those skills into this game.

Here’s a list for the TL:DR, and it’s at the top (you’re welcome):

Real player with 69.3 hrs in game

I’ve had tears of joy playing this game to completion, which is a rarity, I will say.

Absolute Drift is a top down, minimalistic stunt driving game. Your goal: become a master drifter, by refining the art of spinning out and smashing into walls controlling oversteer and burning rubber.

For the aesthetics: it’s low poly, simple graphics, with most buildings and roads left white and untextured. Objects of interest are coloured red, blue or yellow. Your car leaves behind skidmarks wherever it goes, whether you slide or not, which allows for impressive drawings on tarmac, or a nice spiral when you catch some big air.

EZ2ON REBOOT : R

EZ2ON REBOOT : R

The good:

  • There are 230+ songs from all kinds of genres, one of the most varied song lists I’ve seen in a rhythm game. Also, we’re getting 4~ new songs each month for free.

  • I get over 500 fps on a slightly dated setup, making the gameplay smooth and input-lag free.

  • The difficulty distribution covers all skill levels, so both beginners and veterans can enjoy most of the content (except for the 8-keys mode, which only has 1 difficulty per song for now.)

  • The patterns are quite varied and complements the songs very well, there’s also modifiers to randomize the charts in multiple ways, so you can enjoy the same charts in different flavors

This review is aimed at newer rhythm game enthusiasts looking for another game to play and wondering if this game is for them.

What is EZ2ON ?

EZ2ON is a PC spinoff of the arcade series EZ2DJ (now called EZ2AC for legal reasons, more on that later) which is an hardcore (and I mean hardcore) rhythm game heavily inspired by beatmania. The series is considered extremely high quality by rhythm game standards and is beloved by a niche, almost exclusively Korean, really hardcore fanbase.

EZ2ON first released as a free to play game in 2008, shutdown then revived in 2013 with a new interface and some new songs, then shut down again as the free to play model wasn’t viable. The game was also exclusive to South Korea.

Nice twin stick shooter, with different map types. good although short sound track. tries to have rogue lite elements like ship upgrades, and while they are cool, i was able to unlock all of them right away (with the exception of 1 tier3 unlock). it almost feels as if those unlocks should just be like PowerUp drops during the game. but overall so far i have had a #Funtime

Real player with 8.3 hrs in game

Great game; this game gets more and more dynamic as you progress through the levels. It can get quite intense but the relaxing sound-track adds a nice balance. It seems to be well optimized for PC because it runs smooth and takes little storage. My favorite level so far is 10; maneuvering around the asteroids is good fun and makes a great scenery. I look forward to exploring the rest of the levels and arcade mode.

Run Die Run Again (RDRA)

Run Die Run Again (RDRA)

It is 2127 and the divide between the “haves” and “have-nots” has grown to astronomical proportions. To give the masses entertainment and hope of being elevated from their state of poverty, the governments of the world formed a “lottery meets Olympics”, in the form of the contest called, “The Run”. In The Run, athletes are selected to navigate virtual obstacle courses, filled with deadly hazards. The courses are so tough that people started calling the game, “Run, Die, Run Again” or “RDRA”, for short. Eventually, The Run was renamed, to Run, Die, Run Again.
