Bound Up & Squirming!
Bought it during a sale, and what seemed like a joke game turned out to be quite the challenging platformer.
It starts to get a bit frustrating in some levels around midway through the campaign - just when I thought I got good at it, the game whoops my ass.
It’s good in short bursts as a side activity while listening to/watching something, otherwise it might get a bit too frustrating (though, obviously, your mileage may vary)

Its a fun, simple, polished little game where what you see is what you get. It’s made by the same guy as Mount your Friends and Mount your Friends 3D and the similarities are obvious like the non traditional platforming and character design. I’ve been spending a fair amount of time with the game while listening to streams or podcasts which it has been perfect for. Bound Up & Squirming has offered me strong simple gameplay mechanics and fair challenge I’ll probably play it all the way through which has become more of a rarity with the large amount of games being released every month. If you have Mount your Friends 3D you should have automatically gotten a coupon for the game that takes off a dollar or so to the games already small price point. The game is far beyond worth the price of admission especially since it’s $5.69 Canadian. Check it out if you want something simple and fun to play while consuming other entertainment or are interested in weird platformers.

Dialogue Box: The Road Less Traveled
The choices are simple, picking is hard.
In “Dialogue Box: The road less traveled”, you will navigate a whimsical landscape while failing to keep your sanity.
The controls are extremely unintuitive and the humor is cheesy to a fault.
I am a great salesman.

BH Trials
This game feels like learning to walk after suffering a stroke. At first your movement will be uncontrolled and you will flail your limbs about the place helplessly. But soon you’ll get the hang of it and instead stumble about like a drunken toddler. Great fun!
There is quite a bit of content and extra challenge, as each level offers a collectible and a highscore list where you can try to beat the times of your quadriplegic fellows. Some levels are insanely hard and the highscore lists at later stages have very few entries. I really wish this game would be more popular, it would be well deserved.

I absolutely love this game.
I have always wondered how these sorts of machines are controlled in real life so when I saw Northernlion playing this, I bought it pretty much instantly.
BH Trials is an obstacle course game, where you navigate a “backhoe loader”, as I’ve learned these are called, through a path riddled with all manners of different obstacles. The only problem is, that the only way of movement is manipulating the loader and the backhoe arm. The wheels roll but that’s about it, you can’t actually drive or steer the machine in a normal fashion.

I Am Bread
My opinion about the game overall:
If you were expecting a funny/punny review then you came to the wrong review. I decided to make an actual helpful/serious review for the game. Let me start off saying this is a really great game and is a real and serious game despite looking like a joke, back when I saw this game in Greenlight I laughed and gave it a vote expecting it to be a game that wouldn’t even get to a full release, when it first came out my friend bought it so I went to his place and played it for a few hours, after playing it a few times I decided to buy i. Aas it got more and more updates it got better. A lot of people say the game is hard to play with a keyboard but I disagree, back when I first played the game I didn’t have a controller so I played it with a keyboard, after a while, I got a controller, and the only thing that was hard about playing with a controller was that sometimes I got confused with the buttons' names, overall it’s better with a controller. Awesome game, they really put a lot of work to it and listened to the community throughout the making of the game.

This game is amazing! The main story is a fully immersive action, adventure, 3D platformer, roleplaying puzzle game with unexpectedly dark twists in the story. It is truly an emotional roller coaster as you hang on for dear life, inches away from safety, flinging yourself upward with the little strength you have left in a desperation, only to fall to a painful death, alone, far from loaf of your family, on the cold hard floor. Then you try again, and again, as frustration and you question whether it is even possible to reach you goal is this cruel world. The feeling of accomplishment after finally succeeding makes it all worth it. You learn, if a piece of bread can overcome all the odds and become toast, you might have a chance at succeeding in life too, if you stop playing this addicting game and go live it. You also learn that alcohol compounds psychological issues.

Really fun game. I love platformers and this gave me such a refreshing challenge in gameplay. I would highly recommend if you want a challenging platformer that’s also really chill : )

Two dollars gave me two hours of frustrating “punch the table” fun. There are only 5 levels and the replay value is none. Do yourself a favor (at the time of writing) pause the game and spam jump to do super jumps. Have fun destroying the game. That alone is worth two dollars for me. If you were expecting more…then that might be your fault.

Soviet Bear Uni Adventure
Unicycle Punishment Simulator 2019
The hardest, most frustrating game mechanics of any game I’ve played to date. Aiming weapons in Golden Eye using a N64 controller is easier than this game. This game was harder than riding a real life unicycle. However, once you finally …. FINALLY… overcome that obstacle, you feel accomplished for 30 seconds, then you’re back to feeling frustrated by the next obstacle. It was different, comical and challenging.

I’m deeply ashamed that I finished this game and I hope that no one else will ever play it.
