Boltzmann Brain
Love those space-arts at the background, looks atmospheric :)
I was an indepented beta-tester, and after release I can say with my honor that I can recommend this game.
Single-player is pretty hard, but I get a nice feeling when finally understand how to solve puzzles, also they seem like well-designed and each of them is like small (or sometimes big) task. And ending… Yeah, nice one :)
Versus mode becomes INCREDIBLY fun when you achieve a full control under your movements and ball, also it’s a nice choice to spent time when there’s 4 of you.

Nice little oldfag thing, really enjoyed it. No bugs so far, hope none will be in the future. The gameplay shows the guys have done a great job. Though I had to spend some time reapplying controls but it was worth. This game will be appreciated by those who like challenges because each level always requires a portion of thinking =)

Hot Shot Burn
If you want a fast paced, tactical gunslinger battle, you go get this game!
It has interesting levels, with hazards such as a monsterball that spikes up and darts across the map - killing everything in its way.
Or a map with bushes for a stealthy style.
A map with conveyor belts, fire and explosions! and many others…
Mutators that swaps the characters around the map or mess with the screen distorting the map…. and nachos!
And of course, the guns. every character has a unique gun -a sniper, a shotgun, bouncy balls! and more…

ENG:
I never thought that this game would give me so much fun. Playing with people you don’t know is really fun and rewarding. But what happens when you play with friends is like unpredictable - chaotic - brilliant - carousel of events flooded with a large dose of mean sarcasm.
Pros:
-
FUN!!!
-
Playability (indescribable)
-
Easy entry for new players (friends, party etc.)
-
Climate (70-80 - 90 years on my eye) music and brilliant lyrics.
-
Many boards and characters (and there are supposed to be more)

Miner Warfare
incredibly addicting. great multiplayer fun. My 5 year old begs to play this game all the time. It would be nice if there was a way to turn the music off, and there are a few small glitches (like a few levels where if you jump too high, you’ll get stuck until someone kills you), but outside of these minor setbacks, it is a solid game. We’ve gotten far more than our money’s worth out of it.

This game is great! I’ve been playing this for multiple years since its release on the Xbox 360, and I’m glad to see it be put on Steam. The 2D Shoot-Em-Up gameplay mechanics are nostalgic like JOUST, Minecraft, and Smash Bros. Every person that I have introduced this game to loves it, and it’s a great party game.
There is no way to change the resolution. This is the only thing that I think that this game needs, and it is crucial for people with different resolutions than 1280x720p.
However, there is a fullscreen option. [Alt+Enter] It doesn’t change the resolution, but it’s better than nothing.

Real Winners: Victoryball
Awesome!! Having a lot of fun playing with friends. Not that many games like this and I love local multiplayer!!
– Real player with 2.3 hrs in game
This is a tough one, and even as I type this review I am conflicted about giving it a thumbs up or a thumbs down. The recommendation I am making comes with a lot of caveats, but the very attractive price makes it worth taking a chance on.
I love this type of game, and these developers have gone all out trying to cover the bases of a good “couch arena” competition. The 4 varieties of match (basically Foosball (“Victoryball”), Dodge-Ball, Capture the Flag (“Trophy Troubles”) & King of the Hill) are sprinkled with power-ups and craziness and some pretty funny gags. The games “power ups” which add obstacles, Weapons, change the size of the players or even turn them into cars is nicely implemented, and scoring sometimes becomes secondary to seeing just how nuts things can get on the field.

Battlesloths 2025: The Great Pizza Wars
Battlesloths 2025: The Great Pizza Wars is by far my favorite game. It use pixalated graphics for almost everything you see in the game. The game itself only has 4 battle modes at the moment of release. Slice Hunt, Golden Slice, Sloth Hunt, and Last sloth Standing. Along with the game modes comes 18 total weapons ranging from a simple bow and arrow, to a BFSG (Big F*cking Sloth gun). It has a wide variety of levels with their own unique hazards meant to either stop all players or to simply stop them in their tracks. Most noteably is the use of The Nuke. The Nuke can be added to all game modes to add an extra layer of difficulty or just to use in online modes and watch as players scramble to save their points from being cut in half. Currently there are only 8 worlds each holding a total of 3 areas each. However only 7 worlds are available to play in online mode as the world “Temple” is unavailable. Temple has a very unique hazard meant to help players as opposed to killing them. With the small variety of game settings to tinker with before a match starts is a bit underwhelming. You can have timed matches, Matches with a certain kind of weapon, and you can slow down the speed of the sloths. If there were more options available to the player perhaps there would be more enjoyment out fo a few matches. Especially in offline mode (Or playing with bots in this case). The game currently includes over 1017 hats to collect. These hats serve only to add personality to your sloth. The only known way to unlock hats is to play several matches either online with friends or offline with bots. Online matches give much more chances of giving players coins to unlock hats while offline mode with bots is a bit more limited with its coins. Next to blowing out other sloths brains over a piece of pizza there is also a hidden game mode only accessed by a very rare “Hat Demon” Killing this demon will send you to a hidden level with its own unique game mode. Winning this game mode gives you a Golden version of a pre-existing hat. (Some hats look cool golden, i swear.) However i do have my own complaints about the game. The coins are an obvious one because i love collecting and unlocking the hats to add to my collection, if offline mode were given the same treatment as online mode in terms of coins it’d make playing with bots a lot more enjoyable. Instead i’m forced to play to the maximum level available (50 is the limit with the exception of Golden slice which 20 is the limit.) in hopes i get at least 2 or 3 coins at most. The game also has very long and unneeded loading times, it usually takes a minute or two to get to the main screen when booting it up. With online mode however its quite empty. The only online games you’ll play is with friends but even then there are some lag issues. Sadly “Quick Match” doesnt seem to even remotely work at all and your stuck in a neverending loop of waiting for players to join, your best to just create a private match instead as thats more reliable. But overall the game works perfectly fine, it has its issues where it will crash unexpectedly or online mode is lagged to hell but collecting hats, killing sloths, and eating pizza is by far my favorite way to spend my time. I highly reccommend you give this game a shot if you have the time to do so.

This is first and foremost a fun party game. You’ll get a lot more enjoyment playing with local friends pvp or co-op, than playing by yourself vs AI. I experimented with the settings and preferences until I found my happy spot (no hazards, more slices), which brings lots of tension and laughs as you race to finish the pizza.
It’s nice to have a game I can play with the kids that doesn’t involve split screen, and crude humor aside, my kids love the simplicity of the game’s goal and mechanics. They get a kick out of all the hats. Overall, we have a blast whenever we play. One review criticizes the game’s limited rewards and weapons, but this is what it is: a simple, fun game for a group of friends or family to play on a game night. The price seems reasonable for a family game night; you’ll spend triple that at the movies.

High Cats
The game is definitely worth picking up for group play and I would say is just as fun when playing alone. the controls set for keyboard isn’t really good and playing with controller is way better .
– Real player with 8.4 hrs in game
I found high cats a rather fun little game to play. Its a local multiplayer based game for up to 4 players, but can be played solo as well.
The game requires you to catch a tin of tuna that is runnig away from you. You must catch and eat the tuna before it escapes the level. Why are you chasing the tuna? You are high after eating cat nip. Each level consists of different obstacles you must avoid whilst chasing down the tuna. This progressively gets harder the further you advance through the levels.
