Grapple Hoops
This game is pretty cool.
Grappling Hoops plays like a Spider-Man NBA Jam, where you swing around with a grappling hook and use a basketball to score hoops / dunks and take out enemies.
This gameplay feels very fun and energetic and really emphasizes speed and precision.
Unfortunately a good number of levels are rather boxed-in to really grapple around quickly, that’s doesn’t make them bad levels, but they don’t play to the main mechanic of the game making them a bit out of place.
That said, I believe there will be enough levels with variety to satisfy all the game-play styles that the game offers.

I love this game. There are a few bugs and problems, which is to be expected with a game that has released today. Andrew nailed the combat and mechanics down, all though some of the story mode levels don’t fit the game(Their very small and cluttered, allows them to be prettier but you get stuck on small little props) I think with levels more like the floor is lava, and the original demo ones the game will be perfect. Bosses are really cool, all though I expected that I would have to perfectly dodge the hammer, and then dunk on it, instead of throwing a basket ball at it which can hit it anywhere. The mech enemy I was able to cheese by constantly grapple kicking, and tossing the basket ball. The droid boss however was really fun. It allowed me to pick up great speeds, and it was super fun dodging the bullets. Going to graphics this game is beautiful. I love the cartoon/toon shader. It looks great. I will end my review here, and my rating is 8/10.

Heads Run
fantastic and amazing little game, really love playing it, the visuals and layout of levels is so gorgeous, it’s really rewarding to speedrun, can’t reccommend this eonugh if you like platformers. The only downsides to the game are that the wall jump timing for inputs is a bit weird/clunky and takes some getting used to, and that I wish there was 50 more levels because I just want it to keep going

Heads run has both bad and good. If you are looking for a fun game to speed run or play for 2-5 hours depending on your skill. Heads run is only 4 dollars and a great option.
The Good -
The game for the most part does a great job setting a fast pace to making you want to rush and speed thru the level. The level has slight changes as you hit or interact with walls and floors and adds to the feel of the world. It also has an interesting artstyle that combines with the rest to create an enjoyable experience.

Cloudbuilt
This game is absolutely stellar. I doubt I will play anything better this year, or perhaps even in years to come.
First and foremost, this game grants the player absolute control over the character. The movement is fast and responsive, and the more you learn about the game, the better you can maneuver, to the point where you can do things you never would have thought possible at first. This sense of control is absolutely wonderful because I can apply both my reflexes and timing as well as my puzzle-solving skills to the level in front of me. The level design features branching paths that allow you to tackle the level many different ways, and give the player a sense of exploration. Will you go the easier and slower path, take more difficult shortcut, or will you look for the perfect jump to create your OWN shortcut? The game also allows you to place your own checkpoints, and unlike They Bleed Pixels, they actually mean it, meaning that you get to tackle the level before you on your own terms without compromising the difficulty.

So close…so very very close. This would have been a GOTY contender for me but it slips and wobbles
hard
I’ll start with the good: Cloudbuilt is basically Sonic Generations. Remember boosting to beat your time and precision, quick twitch platforming within a level that has multiple pathways? It’s here. Maybe the budget isn’t, but the excitement and speed definitely is. As is the creativity, only difference here is levels have more vertical movement and therefore aren’t as fast, but the idea is the same.

You will learn about the world while powerfully dashing through the medieval age in a relaxing & beautiful scenery. Castles, towers, islands and helpful companions will be a strong part of your adventure.

-
No Violence: The game is relaxing (of course, not counting the times when you just can’t make that jump and feel like destroying the kingdom once again) and focuses on bringing you a very pleasant atmosphere so there is no violence you will be part of.
Bunny Hop League
This game needs a lot of work, it has a lot of little things that would improve it a lot.
However, the game as it stands is well worth its price for anyone, no matter if youve bhoped before or not imo.
-Leaderboard
Global, Friends, Local
-Better server system
Allow the person who created the lobby to change the map without kicking everyone, maybe some other custom options
-Styles
It would be nice to see some of the other styles within bhoping such as Half-sideways, Sideways, W-only + others. Of course with a separate record for each style.

Bunny Hop League is a game focusing on bhop, ramping and sliding. All 3 game modes are challenging, fun and there are a handful of maps to choose from. If you have played bhop in games like Counter Strike, you should know how it works.
The controls are fluid and feels responsive enough to let you feel that you have the control you need to success. Bunny Hop League runs great on my PC and the FPS is always high. Remember to have “raw mouse input” off to get more frames. Overall it’s a fun game but it can be annoying sometimes. That’s because when you bhop you feel very light instead of heavy as in Counter Strike bhop. You miss a lot of tiles since the lightness of your body makes it harder to calculate where you should land. The maps are well crafted where some are easy, some are hard and some are longer than other maps. The map design feels simple where it’s easy to navigate the layout when you are jumping at full speed.

Freerunners
Freerunners is a game about giving the feeling of freerunning (Parkour). Finding a flow and an underlying rhythm of movement as you traverse through your environment in the quickest time possible.
Start off a total noob and become a skilled pro, learning new moves along the way. Vault, climb, jump, duck, swing, flip, slide, do what it takes to travel as fast as possible whilst using your environment to outwit the enemy henchmen who have kidnapped your freerunning teacher and are hunting you down.
Be Fast, Be Fluid, Be Direct!
Key Features:
-
50 Fast-paced Levels - Think quick and solve problems on the move in fast-paced action-packed levels.
-
Use Your Environment - Outwit evil henchmen using the environment and your freerunning skills.
-
Fail, Retry, Refine - You’re going to fail a bunch as you find your flow but refine your timing and technique and watch as you improve and flow more seamlessly through your environment.
-
Learn New Freerunning Moves - Progressing from a total noob to a freerunning badass. No better way to learn than by jumping in the deep end… and by deep end I mean being hunted by the henchmen of an evil organisation.
-
Look The Part, Unlock New Outfits - Gotta look the part. You can wear good running shoes or flip-flops if you are feeling adventurous.
-
Speedrunner-friendly - Be fast, be fluid, be direct and complete levels in the fastest time possible, well suited to speedrunning.
-
Full Controller Support - Can be played with a keyboard/mouse but has also been designed with full controller support.
inMomentum
Yes.
inMomentum has its issues. Certain same-facing walls will count as one wall for the purposes of wall-jumping, some rare collision boxes are just slightly off enough for you to slam into the corner of them, and the multiplayer is essentially dead. The game is abandoned, these issues won’t be fixed, and no new levels will be added (barring intervention by a tech wizard who can reverse engineer an SDK for the game).
However, this is by far the best freerunning game I have played, with a huge variety of routes available through each level. As you play, you’ll optimize your racing line and tackle each stage from angles you wouldn’t have considered when first starting out. inMomentum offers an excellent sense of speed and agility, and is an absolute blast to play.

I’ve had dreams like this game. If Oculus-Supported in the future, then a definite must-have. If anything, just freerunning in the Freestyle level.
EDIT:
Want this game to be easier, or Freestyle to be more fun? Play some AAAAAaaaaaaaaAAAAAAaaaaa!!!! (For the awesome) and learn how to fall (as in, learn how to aim your falls, especially at/beyond terminal velocity); and achieve the highest Ninja achievement in this game (the first level helps to learn), and it’ll be a level you’ll lose track of time in (didn’t realize an hour passed while inside Freestyle until I wrote this review/recommendation, and saw the in-game clock).
