Sacrifice Your Friends
Basically, this is the mechanics of overcooked mixed with the gameplay ideas of Gang Beasts. It super fun to dash around use and throw the weapons, some weapons are a little more useful than others, but they are all counterable. It controls well. A bunch of cool little stuff to unlock, like hats and characters, a bunch of different powerful gods to play, all with different gameplay styles. A whole bunch of beautifully designed maps/artwork, and a whole bunch of other stuff to explore. A great and simple versus game that is definitely worth picking up.

This is an amazingly fun item-arena brawler. The closest games I would compare it to are the Bomberman series and Killer Queen Black.
Your character avatar has no impact on your move set, which consists of punching, grabbing/activating an item, and throwing an item. Your associated Ancient One cult (Cthulhu, Dagon, and Nyarlathotep right now) does have a slightly altered move set, which are fitting for the time-limited avatar transformations (similar to a Smash Bros. Smash Ball). The game moves at such a frantic, hilariously fast and fun pace that it doesn’t need more than this.

Hamilton’s Great Adventure
This game is an absolute nightmare to play. (Providing you get it to work).
I consider myself a very technically able person, however this took me 2 hours to get it working, after messing around with various settings and uninstalling the outdated junk that came with this. (I never managed to get the sound working, which was OK for me, I viewed a few video’s and the sound was far too repetative).
I love puzzles games and I’ve played a wide variety of them.
However this game is just boring, repetative and the timing sections for this game are a nightmare.

Hamilton’s Great Adventure is a very good puzzle/adventure game, in which you have to find the right path in order to reach the exit of each level. It might look simple at first, but as the game progresses, the complexity increases, with new enemies, traps, and more complex layouts. Getting all the coins, while being an optional challenge, is well worth it to put your skills to the test.
As I mentioned in the opening paragraph, the gameplay consists on finding the path to the exit. Of course, you must first get the key (or keys) needed to open the exit door (and other doors which might be in your way). You play as Hamilton (the explorer) and Sasha (the bird). While Hamilton must grab the keys and reach the exit, Sasha can help you by distracting enemies, or using certain switches in order to open some doors or activate elevators. As you progress through each chapter, you’ll also get special items that Hamilton can use. The level design is very good; while the earlier levels are easy enough for you to learn the game, the latter levels can become very challenging, especially if you’re trying to get gold on them; not to mention the bonus levels available in each chapter.

Of the three games currently published on Steam under the “Hidden Paws” franchise, Hidden Paws Mystery is undoubtedly the most beautiful one. Manic Hyena outdid themselves this time, by crafting 20 unique and mirific worlds, full of mystery and enchantment. A hut in a forest of fireflies, a spooky mansion stranded on an island, a forest of gigantic mushrooms or a surreal chess board lost in space - each of these seems to tell its own distinctive story. They do have one thing in common though: cats and their yarns, hiding as well as possible from your snooping eye. You’ll have to find them all despite them having mastered the art of deceit.

Gibbous - A Cthulhu Adventure
FINAL REVIEW: Well, I finally finished the game. And I must say that unfortunately neither the long post-Kickstarter development nor the playtime was worth the wait. Simply put, the story boils down to not much (HUGE SPOILER:
! a vague plot of aliens/gods messing with humans to create stories for their amusement), and the ending doesn’t give really satisfying answers, doesn’t use its source material particularly well, to the point of goofiness: (HUGE SPOILER:
! real Cthulu awakening just to rip apart a cheap imitation of himself, and going right back to sleep), and is mostly a cliffhanger. A cliffhanger without any particularly interesting thread to follow for a sequel.

Gibbous - A Cthulhu Adventure is a linear point & click game that takes you on a mostly-not-so-dark Lovecraftian adventure with what I would consider easy to moderate puzzles throughout. Where this game truly shines is the writing, the voice acting, the art, and the animation. It’s amazing that this is developed primarily by a small team of three people. Here, you are looking at a really high quality indie project that has been put together with the touches of love and passion on the part of the developers.

Write ‘n’ Fight
Join our discord! https://discord.gg/dnTMQMNcr7
The greatest writers of all time are fighting each other in the arenas that were inspired by their work. Each character can summon his own “magic” arena where he becomes the boss of the level for a short amount of time. Each character can be knocked out with one hit in standing in “danger” zone. Once the “magic” arena is summoned by one of the 15 combatants - the fighting game becomes an arcade while the “boss” player is trying to defeat the opponent before the magic arena time runs out.
Included game modes:
-
2x Speed mode - a good way to train superhuman reaction
-
Prophet mode - turns the game into a turn-based strategy in a way. Both players blindly enter the string of commands without knowing the commands of the opponent. Once the required number of commands is entered both characters start executing them.
-
Retro mode - Pixelated graphics, old but gold.
-
I know Kung Foo - AI game mode where the AI is trying really hard to loose to you making it look as cool as possible.
