Kukoro: Stream chat games

Kukoro: Stream chat games

Been enjoying the game so far. Players beware this is an early access game. So there’s still much room for improvement.

I’d love to see it grow from here as there’s much fun to be had in stream chat games.

So far, some games are much more enjoyable and intuitive than others.

The sniper game seems way too hard for the streamer to win. The ways to scan players are not very clear to me.

Perfect Warrior seems a bit pointless as an endless game. Could use a few extra features to make it more enjoyable (powers, random items,…)

Most of my time is just idling in training, but it’s fun when you can actually get someone to play it with. Most game modes are fun and they definitely need to add more RP ones, they’re the most entertaining.

My biggest issue is that the character art doesn’t really match the backgrounds and I don’t really like it in general. However, they do it really well and there are a ton of fun skins to use.

I think they really need to make the game client more useful for non-streamers and add some more interactivity with it instead of just something that runs in the background while you watch the stream. Having to use a game key to view statuses (werewolf, etc.) is pretty annoying. Also it should be clarified more that you don’t login to the service to play with a streamer. It took me a while to figure out that’s the reason my skins/emotes weren’t updating on the stream.

THE GREY MAN

THE GREY MAN

“What we would do if the stars only came out once every thousand years? No one would sleep that night, of course. The world would create new religions overnight. We would be ecstatic, delirious, made rapturous by the glory of a Higher Power. Instead, the stars come out every night and we watch television and play interactive entertainment. "

“The sky is the ultimate art gallery just above us.”

“Looking at these stars suddenly dwarfed my own troubles and all the gravities of terrestrial life. I thought of their unfathomable distance, and the slow inevitable drift of their movements out of the unknown past into the unknown future.”

THE GREY MAN was a wonderful game of discovery, strategy and capturing-ocity from start to end.

The visuals are amazing… it’s a delicious throwback to old-school! You have captivating (multi-leveled parallaxed) landscapes that (in a very subtle way) gives the game so much depth and immerses you in the world THE GREY MAN is stalking around in. You have AMAZING foreground elements (animated & static) that has to be some of the best pixel-art I have seen in quite some time (and i’m an artist SIR/MADAM so i know what I am talking about!!)… and let’s not forget all the characters/animals/items you interact with – so craftily designed. Each element in this game was made with the love that only a fan of games could make. I was clicking on anything and everything.

Grass Cutters Academy - Idle Game

Grass Cutters Academy - Idle Game

Just over 100 hours in. Most of it idle. I have got to what i guess is the end of the game. i can’t upgrade anymore and there is nothing left to do but continue to mow endless lawn. fun for a while but now just sit idle waiting for an update to something more exciting.

if you want something better look at leaf blower revolution.

Real player with 414.9 hrs in game

Really? There’s an academy for this sort of thing?

Grass Cutters Academy - Idle Game appears to be inspired by another game by the name of Leaf Blower Revolution - Idle Game, both being idle games about yard work…only thing is that this game isn’t really all that idle and to get all the prestiges, you’ll be idling for approximately 200 hours.

You start off in an incredibly slow mower and can use points from clipping sections of yard to upgrade your speed, increase value of your clipping points, buy automatic mowers, increase speed of said mowers, etc. And while the auto mowers do the job for you…they aren’t really intelligent enough to seek out patches of grass as they just ricochet off the walls.

Jump With Dragons

Jump With Dragons

The graphics alone make this game worth the 0.59 I payed for it. It’s both fun and challenging. I suggest changing the key bindings under settings because the controls were awkward. I was also having problems getting my controller to fully work with it. I could look around, jump, and dash but I couldn’t walk in any direction so I was stuck playing with the keyboard and mouse.

Fit For a King

Fit For a King

Fit For a King is a relatively short game but is definitely an enjoyable experience. The whole game is centred around the summit that you will be throwing and your main goal is to outspend your rival.

Like the trailer says, you can pretty much do anything, from executing a foreign ambassador to marrying a literal piece of sh- ahem refuse.

At times it can seem a bit aimless and it can be hard to find the clues to get things you need but otherwise is quite fun and definitely worth a play.

The game has a weak and slow start, don’t let this dissuade you. The controls are dated and supposed to feel like a mid to late 80’s crpg, but are way more straight forward and easy to understand then those ever were back then without 200 page manuals. Once you can get a good grasp of the controls the game opens up and the gameplay starts. For the most part it’s a puzzle game with some loot hunting in it. The humor is pretty good and the mix of both serious and silly just strikes that perfect balance. It’s only really down fall and biggest selling point is that it’s short and sweet and complete. It left me wanting more, which is rare for most game these days. It made me want to give ultima another shot or some other Crpgs. I guess some minor things that made me sad was that while there was a ton of lines for the NPCs I wish there was more , and by extension more tasks or quests. (Spoiler) Another minor thing was that it’s never explained in game that some walls can be walked through as a sort of secret entrance.

Loot Grind Simulator

Loot Grind Simulator

Another “simulator”…let’s look at it!

Loot Grind Simulator is another idle/casual game with clicker aspects. Your goal is to complete quests you sign up for and get loot out of them and your ultimate goal is to get all achievements…and to reach the top stat of Unique quality items while completing all of your collections.

The scope of this project is very small and you don’t even see what your quests are. You click the quest contracts and they activate timers until they are marked completed, thus giving you randomized loot based on the level of the quest, the speed of the quest, and the expected quality of the item reward…which isn’t guaranteed. Personally, I just opted to choose random quests and autoclick various areas. You can randomize quest rewards, but you’re probably better off just taking what you get the first time as that’ll probably be much faster with less effort.

Overall a good experiment in game making for the developer. I hope to see more from them as they improve.

Pros:

Not a micro transaction in sight.

Clean UI interaction.

Cons:

Assets are common fodder.

Progression is boring and linear.

Personally I have no issue with the use of store assets, as when creating games alone, it’s better to be able to focus on the mechanics sides of things. That being said, the mechanics are too simple to generate extended interest. As I said in the beginning, I hope to see more from the developer in their future endeavors.

Mutiny Island

Mutiny Island

This game could be so much better. I have warped to grey screen death countless times. I camped while being attacked by a skeleton, woke up on Davy Jones' ship surrounded by the undead, and glitched to the starting warp. Jumped through many stone walls diagonally, and fought tigers from vantage point because of it. In my short time with this piece i have seen so many classic mishaps that that in itself is making me appreciate it more.

It’s $8, buggy as hell and absolutely wonderful.

I received a copy of this game to Let’s Play it and I loved it quite a bit. This is a really fun open-world game with a lot of stuff to explore and experiment around with!

Review:

This game was sick I enjoyed the hell out of it finally a cheaper game that’s not just super bad or a cash grab. This was definitely worth the money it hearkens me back to the days of finding the weird part of youtube which is hard to find. Insanely creepy and surreal but it also keeps a pretty tangible story. The game is pretty dang hard to get the good ending in as well the timing on the tongues gave my fingers one of the most insane rejection of what I wanted to do ever I was so used to timing up the tongues when I was trying to run through the 4 back to back tongues in case they were programmed to be a straight run through my fingers absolutely noped me from being so used to waiting on the timing and the fact the punishment for losing on that stage is severe since it’s the only stage without a save before it. That rejection of what I actually wanted to do gave me one of the most severe feelings of defeat in a video game to be honest. I cannot recommend this enough I hope the sound track gets sold on here as well it was super good.

This is definitely an A Tier Yai Game for those familiar with Yai Gameworks, it is very fitting that the genre for this game is Collectothon, the version of Collectothon this game is, is very unique. There is horror in this game but it really gets scary really far in, however because of a certain missing save point on the good ending it can quickly become a rage game. The surreal imagery in this game is also pretty A Tier compared to other Yai Games.
