12 orbits
Wow. Wow, wow, wow. For this price, I have never played a game with this much quality. The 3D graphics are stunning and are sometimes not seen in games worth $5 or more. Again, the game is worth buying just for its quality. Not to mention the control screen is as easy as pressing a button. The game is as simple as that, too! However, we haven’t even gotten to the actual game yet.
So, what is the game, you ask?
This game has 4 different modes with 7 total variations total. Arena and Trails are free-for-all modes, Blizzard and Multiball are team modes, and Arena, Trails, and Blizzard have practice variations. For every mode, there are 7-8 maps you can play on. On these map, there are circles of various sizes and location through it. After you select your button, you can press the button when in the circles to go around them in an orbit (hence “orbits” in the title). When you press your button outside the circle, you dash forward, which can be beneficial or hurtful, depending on the mode. You can always tell the direction of your character by looking at where the arow points. It never breaks physics, but it is helpful for when you have a lot of characters on the screen, and a small bit of color isn’t enough to keep your eye focused. In addition, there are modifications for the four multiplayer modes, giving you flexibility and countless arangements of fun! Lastly, if you are in a circle and an opponent or sphere hits you, your orbit will break unless you hit your button immediately afterwards. Alright, let’s go on to the modes!

TL;DR - A simple look with a simple mechanic. Good amounts of options, yet feels pretty samey after a while. It’s a party game that really tries, but never reaches it’s true potential. 7/10
12 orbits seemed interesting. The ability to play with 12 players with the usage of just a button each is incredible. With simple taps, everyone would take control their character without losing focus on what lies ahead. The concept comes together in four different modes that anyone can get into easily. The major question is, obviously, are these modes even entertaining to play. Personally I had a hard time figuring this out.

This game is a really fun challenge. I don’t typically go for awkward control games, but this game achieves just the right level of difficulty with good pacing. The later levels are really challenging and would take a while to really master! The multiplayer options are where the real fun happens. There’s an element of unpredictability and silliness that balances the challenging controls to make it really fun both when working together to control the same character, or when competing against each other. I would definitely recommend it whether you are looking for a challenge, or just a casual game to play with friends!

Very fun Game for an evening with friends. The game is multiplayer only though but at that it succeeds quite well I think.
The artstyle and music are both very refreshing and fun.
Through steam remote play even online play is possible and functional.

Sometimes you unexpectedly find a real gem. This game is such a hidden gem. A small, but very polished game that I never heard of before, but understood in seconds and had fun with immediately!
The premise is simple: Kill your opponents, like in Towerfall or Duck Games. You got only one bullet. After shooting it, you have to retrieve it before you can shoot again. The different levels contain death traps, like spikes or lava. Also each character can choose a super ability, like the possibility to kill opponents by jumping on their heads. You also have a few options to select and gamemodes to choose from - and then the fun starts!

B.U.T.T.O.N. (Brutally Unfair Tactics Totally OK Now)
This game really stands up to it’s name “Button”, It really is just a button smashing game that is enjoyed with friends or a group of people. You can use a keyboard. I prefer when playing with other people to play with Xbox 360 Controllers since they are alot easier to play with and you dont have to worry so much about braking them. The game is very simple, you read what is on the screen and do it accordingly then you get pushed to push the button that you are assigned to multiple times or not at all. It can be rewarding and frustrating to play with friends who cheat and try to throw off your character by pushing your button. The game is good but can get old really fast when it says the same thing in a different way a couple times. I recommend this game to people that have friends or want to do something different with their better halves. Its simple and fun, but frustratingly maddening all at the same time.

funny little party game for 1-8 players.
its mostly about reaction and pressing buttons.
but it can seriously get out of hand when the others do everything to win^^
its not a must have, but good for sparetime or when you have some friends around.
fair price!

Drawful 2
( YES, You only need one copy of Drawful 2 to have all your friends play. You do not need additional copies for each persons phone/device )
Group of 4 really enjoyed this game. It was hard to for some to understand how the strategy of the game goes so maybe this will help

Neighborhorde
I LOVE this game, it has a great artstyle, awesome weapons and enemies, and is it has an amazing replayability value.
I originally bought this game because my friend and I were bored and needed something to do, not knowing what I had gotten myself into. The game starts you out looking at a group of animals sitting on a couch together, but as soon as you get into the game you think to yourself, “Huh, this game looks pretty empty.” Then, five rounds later your like, “This game is too easy, give me a challenge.” and then the next round you are just killing some robots and then BAM you get kidnapped by a demon snowman that takes you into a corner and repeatedly beats the everliving shiz out of you. I have only played the game a little while now but holy crap this game is entertaining as heck and I still don’t understand why it isn’t more popular. Overall, I give it a 9/10, the only thing they could’ve done to make it better is to add some more gamemodes.

I stumbled across this game late one evening. I threw it on my wishlist and waited for it to release. I saw it came out a few days ago and decided “what the heck”. Man, am I glad I did. I absolutely adore Neighborhorde. I have to say, the looks, design, and overall aesthetic is fantastic. The cheery fun visuals and the 90’s toybox theme is wonderful. For 4.99 there is tons of content/replayability. Unlockable “hats” and levels as well as the “roguelike” in-run upgrade system have made it a staple already with my roomates. After we had played it for around an hour we already had the theme stuck in our heads. the controls are super tight too! I purposely go out of my way to buy couch coop games. I have a cooler master scout 2 case with a gtx 1070 that is perfect to take to parties. I have 4 wireless xbox one controllers and 4 wireless 360s. Steam couch coop games are always hits. For 4.99 this game is a total steal and totally worthy of being in my collection.

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.
