I loved this! The movement feels fast and fluid, similar to Sonic or Freedom Planet, but with its own twists with charging and sliding. When you start building up momentum and racing through the level, it just feels great. The art is adorable and the soundtrack is a legit banger. For the price, this is a steal, especially if you like classic platformers with an emphasis on collecting and speedrunning!

Had a great time running and bouncing around this cute story. Mechanics are a blast and the music is great. The game is quite charming! I would recommend it to fans of Sonic games for sure.

Descent Vector: Space Runner
Introduction
Descent vecor is an endless space runner by Heavy Pepper Inc. with procedurally generated levels, I came across this game during Steam Next Fest and really liked the demo. I received a free copy for beta testing. It has a simple concept but it works really well. It also has pleasing graphics with an endless supply of space stations, space crafts, brackets and asteroids for you to dodge. I play a lot shmups and to me it feels a bit like a rail shooter without having to shoot anything which I somehow find quite relaxing.

NERVE
As an avid Thumper player, this game checks all of my boxes.
-dark atmosphere
-killer soundtrack, heavy drums
-high speed, high intensity
-high skill ceiling
The game makes use of all of its mechanics, all of the time. So even though you are encouraged to go fast, there are points where you can’t always be turbo-ing. USE THE BRAKES!
Solid game, and I’m only on world 4. 10/10
EDIT:
After completing the game, I have to recommend it even more.
And the devs are receptive to feedback and are improving the game! There were several unfun issues with a few objects and hitboxes, which have been patched, making this an even better speed game.

Плюсы и не только:
Игра мне понравилась. Прикольная графика и довольно хороший саундтрэк. Проходиться за часов 9 - 15, боссы прикольные и в почти каждой локации свои механики. Достижения получить довольно легко кроме трех последних, там нужно еще найти зону в которой это можно сделать (а их там 100+). А также есть режим от первого лица.
Минусы:
Сюжет - 2 предложения в начале и конце. (да, я знаю что игра не про сюжет, не бейте)
Хитбоксы - иногда можно задеть что-то и не умереть или не сбросить ‘дрон замедления’.

I really enjoyed my time with this game so far!
I love the art style and animations. The pixel art is simple yet so vibrant and fun to look at.
I really enjoyed the visual feedback from the large milk bottle filling up as you milk the cows to the cow’s heart broken expressions when you miss your chance at milking them.
The short 12 page backstory was quirky and silly, put a smile on my face.
Something about this just gives me nostalgia of playing flash games in my free time as a kid idk
TLDR? Fun and simple little runner, would recommend

I’ve played this for over 10hrs on my phone, I love it! Very simple but there is still alot of subtle things you need to learn if you wanna get a high score (my best is 150k which is currently 3rd).
Probably works better as a mobile game but it’s free and there are no ads or mtx (how did the dev intend to make any money lol?) so there is literally no downside to downloading it. Very polished, no bugs fun game loop. Strong recommend if you like high score games!

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.

Unpossible
A pretty good amount of entertainment for the price. The gameplay is simple in concept but pretty addicting, like most endless reaction games. However, this simplicity makes the game’s shortcomings all the more apparent.
For those starting out, there’s no introduction, but from the discussions it seems the developer tried to incorporate as many possible control schemes for “left” and “right” as possible, so the game should be easy to get into. The mouse can also be used in the menu.
The biggest problem with the game is that the amount of time you have to react to obstacles (if you can see them coming at all) is highly dependent on the path and curvature of the running surface, which seems to be randomized on every play (primarily apparently in the daily levels, as the regular levels have the obstacles randomized as well). This is counter to the game’s claim that dying will always be your fault, because even when you know the course pretty well, you can still die because you couldn’t tell when and where the next obstacle was.

A pretty fun and nice-looking reflex game. It has 3 modes of difficulty: Simplicity, Futile, and Ultra, and every time you play, the stage is more or less random with obstacles placed in a different pattern. You do get some types of obstacles more common in one difficulty than another, but their placement and pattern often varies. Your goal is to last as long as you can.
For each difficulty level you also get a special daily stage. This stage only changes after every 24 hours, so if you’re not a fan of the randomness aspect, you can always play the daily stage and try to memorize your way through it.

A Boy’s Journey
“A Boy’s Journey” is a skillbased 3D platformer that is all about finding new ways to reach the goal sooner than anyone else! If you don’t like a specific level, just generate a new one. You can influence all generated obstacles or yourself with elemental projectiles. This allows you to do cool combos and gives you a way to experiment with the game!
You can compete for the best highscore with the integrated leaderboards.
The game uses fully procedurally generated levels. Next to a story mode with 40 levels, you are able to play a random mode, that gives you access to 100 Billion unique levels! All that in 5 beautifully worlds.
Influence your character to gain power-ups like a speed boost, invulnerability or let it create a new path beneath yourself! You can even combine power-ups to work on combos.
Influence all obstacles inside a level with elemental projectiles. Freeze a moving obstacle, destroy it or create a whole new path.
LOST ORBIT: Terminal Velocity
As a score chasing game, it has its merits. As a story/character heavy game, it fails completely. It feels like Pixelnauts was unsure of what kind of game to make, an arcade time-attack game, or a personal journey through space with an A.I. companion, and this dichotomy constantly gets in the way of the player’s experience. I would have recommended if not for Terminal Velocity. I hated my time with Terminal Velocity and would recommend not even bothering with it if you do pick the game up.

Amazing game !
I already played the original Lost Orbit a while ago and it’s such a pleasure to come back to this title !
Speeding through asteroids and … dying !
The game is not always easy but it’s fun and … luckily, we do have a bunch of save points to avoid completely restarting a hellish area.
But more than that, Lost Orbit is a poetic story with really cool music ! (where’s the soundtrack DLC?)
It tells the story of a lost astronaut who find a friend in a little probe after losing his space ship.
