So far, pretty fun! I like the music, the art style, its great! My only complaint is the lack of online battles. I want to play locally, or match up with my friends via friend battle. Thats just my nitpick though. The AI is challenging so I don’t mind too much.

Fan of the old jump n bump from the 90s. Used to sit there playing jump bump as we called it. As kids 4 of us on one keyboard those were the days . This is very similar. I really like this game. I certainly would like more levels but I guess maybe one day lol.

Quite a fun little game. The AI is ok if you’re playing by yourself and the levels are interesting.
In my opinion the best level is the Museum (Because of the smashable Glass).
In my opinion the game is worth it, but only at around 50% off. At full price the game doesn’t justify its cost. The game is fun though. Customization is great and physics is fun too.

Wizards Tourney
Video Review at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjJAeTXZGWU
Wizards Tourney is a competitive multiplayer party game where a mix of up to 4 human or computer players will compete in a variety of minigames individually or in a tournament setup where scores are tallied to determine the victor. This game is published and developed by A Bonfire of Souls, a pretty new studio from Spain and a big thanks to the team for providing a review key for me to check this out.
Wizards Tourney starts off with a short story explaining the events of how this tournament came to be. A powerful elite force takes over the old tournament and a rogue group of wizards from all around decide to start their own tournament to show off who is the best wizard in all the lands. The story serves as nothing more than a brief introduction into the world of the game and it would have been nice to see it fleshed out more.

There are several minigames, not too many. They resemble each other, that is true. 2-3 of them are fun, while others are dull. The character skins and environments are soft colore and the movements in the games are a bit slow-paced, so the game lacks tension a little bit. Also, there is nothing else than those minigames, so you play it and it finishes. Can be fun for half an hour at night with your friends over, no more than that. But it wouldn’t hurt to have in your library.
+Bots are available in the game, so you can also play single player when you are bored.

Board Quizz Adventure
board quizz adventure is a trivia game with maps where players start on opposite sides and they have to reach the village before their opponent. steam’s remote play together technically makes it work online, otherwise it’s only local multiplayer, no ai opponents. the developer said they might add them, hasn’t happened yet.
– Real player with 2.1 hrs in game
I’d say positive, because I like the concept. But by nature of two players frantically answering separate trivia questions, I felt like we didn’t really talk or interact much. You’re too busy reading and answering to really joke around with each other. Maybe a mode that forces things to be turn based would be better?? Then you can take your time a bit, be more strategic, and better understand how the other player is doing.
Another thing, is 2 times we were both completely blocked, and the game doesn’t have checks in place to just end the level at that point. That would help

Great little game for some fun rounds with friends, very polished and the the characters and environements look very nice and have a fun, bouncy energy to them :)

Great little free to play game! Folks who enjoy simple competitive multiplayer games like Nidhogg or Speed Runners should really give this a shot. Its not likely to suck 100s of hours away and does not offer quite as much content as those games, but just like them I see my wife and I returning to play this for quick fun casual little bursts between other games or when we have 15 mins to blow. Would have gladly paid a buck or two for this game, at the free to play price its a no brainer.

Rocket Wars
A frantic action ship shooter with a huge variety of unlocks and visuals. The weapons offer a good assortment of strategy and defense. The ship customization caters to your playstyle by offering different stats depending on how you like to blow others up. Fully able to level up and compete against bots, but as with most games, it’s way more fun with friends. A good choice if you are looking for that old arcadey feel and have a few buds over for game night.

So, I have this cousin who studies in another region of the country, and comes here almost every weekend.
I took the habit of buying local-multiplayers games just to play with him. I was checking the store for discounted local-multi games the other day, and came across this title.
First thing I thought was “Man, this looks cool and fun!” and I immediately bought it.
I can totally say this game is worth its price.
**** REVIEW ****
PROs:
- Fun gameplay and good variety of gamemodes and spaceships to use.

I think this is a great game. And I’ve tried a lot of online trivia/quiz games. I think it’s weakness is the questions. You need better questions and some are not that good. I would love to contribute questions. I think I could really help.

ClusterPuck 99
Note: This is my first review and I purchased Clusterpuck 99 for (ironically enough) $0.99.
Clusterpuck 99 has a lot of elements that make it an ideal game to pick up and play if you regularly play video games with people on your couch. It boasts the rare ability to have 8 players play at once (if you have the controllers and USB ports to pull it off, mind you), and what it lacks in graphics, a sluggish pace, and the glaring error of no online multiplayer it tries to makes up for with its simple and engaging concept and gameplay. This simple game (with its ~4 controls) regularly creates the memorable moments that most people look for in local multiplayer games. You know, the ones where people are laughing, yelling, or high-fiving because of momentary displays of skill, chaos, or brilliance.

I wholeheartedly recommend buying ClusterPuck ‘99. My friends and I went out to buy Cards Against Humanity, but ended up coming home with a Steam giftcard to but Crawl with. We had another $10 leftover, so we looked up “great steam multiplayer games”, or something along those lines—and came across this game. We watched the first trailer (not the live-action one) and it peaked our interest. Then we watched the live-action trailer. We were hooked. We experienced some issues downloading it because Steam was experiencing “heavy load” at the time, seeing as it was Memorial Day. It was well worth the wait. ClusterPuck ‘99 is one of the best games I have played in my life. I would be willing to give PHL Collective the funds to make as much DLC or ClusterPuck ‘00 if they wanted (if I had the money, but I’d be willing to work for it). These devs are awesome and so is their game. I can’t recommend this enough. Just make sure you have enough controllers, because everyone’s gonna wanna play.

The bad:
Hard to see some items, visual style is lacking and can make things unclear sometimes.

I’ve played the local multiplayer several times with friends and have had a great time playing. The variety of game types and settings provide a lot of options for replayability. I can’t wait to play the campaign once it is released, especially since it can be played coop. Cymatically Muffed is reminiscent of older classics while still providing new and exciting mechanics of it’s own. Do yourself a favor and check it out.
