A Time Paradox
A Time Paradox is a puzzle game where you look for a way out that does not create a paradox. Each move matters, the goal is to reach each level exit without being seen by someone from the past (mostly yourself !). Be aware not to block a future your-self ! Anticipation and planning are key skills that will help you go through all the levels.
The game have a single player story mode of about 80 levels, a 2 players cooperative mode, and multiple multiplayer mini games to share good time with friends !
A Time Paradox already hooked hundreds of players on Android, but only the PC version will give you high level of comfort for multiplayer.

BFF or Die
A nice cooperative puzzle game.
CRASHES when trying to use Remote Play Together. This is too bad. I really wanted to try it out with some help from my far-flung friends.
The initial levels of the game are different based on the number of players. If you want to teach friends how to play, I recommend playing the first 7, or so, levels in TWO PLAYER mode. The early levels of other modes might fail to teach important aspects (like how to get out of the flashlight booth).
This could be a nice title for some “Games Night” cooperative frustration, err I mean fun.

The game is like a physical puzzle game but with action elements to it. And if you play multiplayer, the extra dimension of needing to figure out what each player needs to do and when to complete the level. It can get crazy hectic and tense, especially when your teammates mess up or something unexpected happens. But it never feels unfair or too punishing. Plus you always get time to plan at the start of each level / puzzle.
My only criticism is some of the menu options don’t work with keyboard, but nothing that stops you playing the game.

PixelJunk™ Shooter
PixelJunk Shooter is a twin-stick shooter, with a very big focus on physics (specifically fluids). While exploring the underground caves of a planet, you’ll have to interact with lava, water, liquid metal, ice and rock in order to save the scientists who are now trapped.
The story is basically that. You’re in a ship, trying to save every scientist. And also collecting hidden gems. Whole it may seem a game about exploration, it didn’t quite get to that point, in my opinion. But more on that later.

PixelJunk Shooter is, as the name suggests, a shooting game. You control a yellow ship which is sent to help out some scientists on a planet in which after alot of digging something went wrong. The story is told when you rescue certain survivors, colored ones, which upon pickup will show up a text screen telling something that happened previously during the excavations. You progress through the game by picking up gems and survivors which will then unlock new areas for you to play. Gameplay wise the ship control is really smooth and satisfying with a some pretty decent shooting, your ship has 2 standard attacks, one that shoots projectiles if you keep tapping the attack button and if you hold it down you’ll launch homing missiles. The level design and the visuals are pretty well done, considering it’s a 2D game and as you progress to later levels the difficulty really ramps up at a fair pace keeping the game challenging even when you already master the game. Besides having to kill enemies on each level and rescuing survivors and gathering gems you’ll find yourself most of the times trying to solve some sort of puzzles in which you need to manipulate various type of terrain either it is ice or rock and liquids such as water and lava or even gas or deadly black goo. Overall PixelJunk Shooter is a pretty fun game to play when you’re bored or if you’re looking for something casual, you can easily beat it in around 6 hours or so and it’s a pretty good time. If you’re a fan of PixelJunk games you’ll probably also enjoy this one and if you do enjoy this one but haven’t played Monsters or Eden you should totally check those two.

Capsized
We could easily classify this game as “The evolution of platform/shooters games in flash from the web”. A beautiful artistic audio-visual section and solid gameplay make this title a sure recommendation.
PROS:
-
Spotless artistic direction (the style of the characters, enemies, weapons and unique backgrounds give the game its own personality).
-
Excellent soundtrack (As a lover of electronic music, i could be listening for hours to the various tracks that create a correct atmosphere for an action/exploration game like this).

OK after reading the good and bad reviews I decided I needed to write one
I like the game… a lot, despite its “shortcomings”, and I’m picky. The gravity manipulation weapon along with the jetpack are so fun. And I liked all the weapons dual fire modes. I think it gets a worse rap than it deserves, especially for a careful player that doesn’t just “run” straight into the open thinking he’s not going to get effed up. Along with great puzzles for the gravity gun and the ability to wreck pretty much everything in the game without shooting a gun if your insanely up to the challenge, great music and very cool unique art and enemies, I am completely recommending this game.

STAR WARS™: The Clone Wars - Republic Heroes™
This game has a lot of poor reviews which is absolutely fair. There’s a bunch of awkward bugs and glitches you’ll somehow run into by just playing normally, and worst of all, you cannot save. This however is not actually the game’s fault, but the fact that the client it’s on is no longer online. I don’t know the details, something like that. Anyway, all that aside, this game is a pretty good time if you play it with a friend. The missions are short and simple, the story is well paced and varied, and it even has a few fair puzzles. Not too hard, not too easy.

So heres the thing about 99% percent of the reviews on here. its literally ALL about windows live and how it doesnt work.
But heres the thing, they fixed the windows live issue. If for some reason you download this game and have issues just google games for windows live, download it, and boom. Game will work. Just make a local account so you dont have to deal with downloading accounts or any loading times.
Now… Onto the review!
This game is honestly a fantastic experience. Whether you are a solo player looking for a fun little game that has plenty of action and platforming, or you got a buddy with you and want to have a fun a** coop experience, this game is perfect for you!

NeXus: One Core
Fast-paced neon arcade game which is extremely addictive, has very fluent and simple yet unique gameplay and you can choose your 2 favorite colors (in my case it is yellow and lightblue). Soundtrack is absolute fitting and awesome. Sad part is that it is not getting the attention it deserves. Absolutely recommended.

I’m usually not a fan of runners but the aesthetics, trailers and core concept got me hooked, especially the co-op mode. Hope it gets online at one point.
This game is very challenging, I’ve been playing for quite a few hours and I haven’t unlocked much of the content… Feels good to actually feel like you’re actually beating the game. It can get really crazy at times, the feeling of speed is great.
Controls are fluid, I fond them a little stiff until I found out you could change the sensibility of movements. Actually, there’s a nice amount of customizable content, from the ship to the colors used for the force fields, the music played, controls… It really feels like the game is giving you enough tools so that you can face it fairly.

Solaroids
If you like astroids type games, you will love Solaroids! It is a really smooth play, and there are many settings that you can tweak and change to adjust the game play/view the way you want. I also think the soundtrack is high quality and enjoy listening to it while I play. The local multiplayer mode is fun for families, -my kids enjoy the game too! Solaroids is still in early release, but the solo developer keeps us posted about the updates he is making and the plans he has to improve the game, including a story, and more grapics etc. He is also very open to suggestions, which I appreciate. I would definately recommend the game if you like to shoot things in space. It is surprisingly fun, and polished in the game play. Give it a try!

I have been playing this off and on for about 3 years. Seeing the massive updates, option upgrades, graphic changes, etc. has been really amazing.
This seems like a finished product, not a beta or early access… and then it updates and (unlike many other updates) you realize that they found a way to improve on something that was already great and retain the things you liked! You have even more things to explore or try out!
When the twin stick came out I was FINALLY a bit more competent and it transformed from a PC simulated arcade game to a modern console version.

DEATHPIT 3000
As someone who is a keen follower of the Welsh gaming industry (well, what there is of it), I was excited to play DEATHPIT 3000. When I initially received the game from Cyberlamb Studios, it was local multiplayer only, but I was pretty happy when it was patched to add online multiplayer, which I think vastly enhances the accessibility of the game. As a middle aged gamer with a baby, I unfortunately don’t have much of a real life anymore for local party games.
DEATHPIT 3000 is a twin stick top down arena based shooter where you fight a variety of monsters whilst avoiding environmental damage and try to survive. Each round rewards cash and a shop with upgrades specific to that match, whilst completing the entire match unlocks upgrades and features for the next qualifier. You progress through the game until you hit the finals, steadily unlocking more goodies as you go.

Are you daring enough to enter these terrifying death pits and be crowned champion of The Glactic Empire? Yes . . . Then welcome to DEATHPIT 3000.

## Scrap Galaxy
The first game from Catalope Games is just as great as it looks.
For starters, it's absolutely gorgeous.
Fast paced action for 1-4 players as well as lots and lots of fun.
Recommended for anyone who likes party games, geometry wars or just indie games in general.

The camera is the biggest enemy in the game. It does and WILL pull you into asteroids, enemies, and bombs.

## Trident's Wake
Wonderful cooperative action game, I have had many hours of fun frying aliens with friends, customizing my sentinels, unlocking special abilities and improving my weapons.
The game is in early access and I assumed that it could have many bugs, but after play it on a friend's PC, I saw that it is perfectly playable and I loved it. I bought it last week and I have played around 30 hours (be careful guys, it's really powerful).
The sounds of the shots are wonderfully well done and the lighting is well enough adapted to generate some suspense and mystery but allowing fluid combats.
*– [Real player with 114.4 hrs in game](http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198440076376)*
I'm recommending this game because on the base level, the game is playable and easy to pick up and play, however the game has been left in a bit of a broken state and is no longer supported by the dev team according to their discord , so any glitches, bugs or texture issues you may come across while playing the game may not be fixed or patched in the future.
That said, the game is a simple twin-stick shooter where you play as a Robotic soldier called a "Sentinel" tasked with clearing out the "Trident", a type of "ark" that holds human embryos and Humanity's last hope for survival amidst an alien invasion. you can play solo or with a group of 4 to fight through and take back control of 4 different sectors on the ship before moving on to the final "Strike Back" phase where you activate the Trident's defense turrets and fight off the alien attackers.
