Road to Ballhalla

Road to Ballhalla

Road to Ballhalla is a cheeky, occasionally cruel but ultimately satisfying experience, that I would highly recommend to anyone with a taste for arcade-style platformers and puzzle games. I say this having completed 100% of the game’s achievements.

Aesthetically, with regards to its delightfully colourful design and well-suited, unintrusive yet engaging soundtrack, I can’t really fault Road to Ballhalla. The puzzles are all very much based upon rhythm and visual patterns, meaning that the audio-visual elements of the game are critically important, and I am pleased to report that they do themselves absolute justice.

Road to Ballhalla is a simple top-down arcade-style game. You control a ball, and your goal is to navigate your way through 20 levels, collecting little sparks (the game’s collectable) and avoiding dying as you go.

The game is very simple – there isn’t even a jump button. You can simply move in any direction, or speed up your rolling in a sort of dash move. The dash move makes it so you die instantly if you take damage, rather than simply… well, taking damage. This makes it risky to use at times, so it must be used judiciously.

El Tango de la Muerte

El Tango de la Muerte

El Tango de la Muerte:




It takes two to tango, isn’t what they say! What if someone wants to tango but has two left feet? The image in my mind is that a person would have his upper body leaning toward the right in order to compensate for his/her unfortunate tendency to deviate to their left side. Joking aside, what would you do if your childhood sweetheart was a great Tango dancer, and you discovered that you actually had not two, but three left feet? You’d probably ask someone to help you out, right? That is exactly what Luciano did. He asked his best friend Julio to teach him how to find the secret of his right foot. Otherwise, it would truly become El Tango de la Muerte!

--- A fresh and highly unique spin on the rhythm genre. You're basically trying to follow the pattern as it appears on the floor with various flourishes that you can hit for added effect. While this sounds simple, picking up on the rhythm can be tough and you'll feel exactly as awkward as someone dancing poorly would in real life, but when you finally get the beat down and hit that string of notes just right, it feels _amazing_ The theme and story are also very fun. I can honestly say I've never played a game about Argentenian ballroom dancing before. The storyline is like a soap opera gangster story and it's surprisingly well-written with some memorable characters and fun over-the-top melodrama. *– [Real player with 2.6 hrs in game](http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197997934524)* --- ![Vocal Space Shooter](https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/1430340/header.jpg "") ## Vocal Space Shooter A game to feel and interact A game where the player uses the musical notes and decibels of his voice to play Vocal Space Shooter brings a deep feeling with the piano sound An experimental way of using musical interact in games We hope you enjoy Features: *Vocal Inputs *Musical Interaction *Piano Sounds *Physics-based game *Amazing effects and Colors *Deep Space ---

You would need to react fast on certain areas. I wish the player had more lives, coz those finish pretty quickly. I liked the idea of switching the character against fire, jungle and water. The game is very easy to pick up and play, though you would be challenged if you want to progress further. *– [Real player with 2.2 hrs in game](http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199165459326)* Full playthrough of NORMAL because I am A lettuce an Absolute Lettuce… here!: https://youtu.be/vvg2tjk5bmE Review: This game is really fun I enjoy rhythm games even though I'm trash at them, if you like hard rhythm games you will definitely like this. The power downs ESPECIALLY the inverted control one is actually satan and overkill. The dialogue is pretty dope especially when the narrator is constantly making fun of you for sucking at the game. It has a leaderboard as well, even though as per usual I think there's already people who have used programs to cheat it or the best rhythm game players in the world have already hit all the levels and perfected/near perfected them. I wish there were more normal levels for casual players/songs to play through and the the music is alright nothing super revolutionary, but it's not bad or annoying. *– [Real player with 0.8 hrs in game](http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198043918784)* --- ![Synthesis Universe -Episode 00-](https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/1165270/header.jpg "") ## Synthesis Universe -Episode 00- Definitely more than 15mn contrary to some reviews! (More content was added after initial release) Some users don't pay attention and miss most of the experience. This is not fast food, this is not a game or a thing you have to try to speed run. Why not taking some slow time in there, relax and enjoy the show? Many interactions are hidden, delicate and add replay value, there is even a secret ending. This is not for everyone: If you are a gamer in a hurry: don't buy it. If you are looking to be fully immersed surrounded by music and FXs, enjoy every polygons, music notes and pay attention to the cues and the cryptic story… then go for it. *– [Real player with 2.7 hrs in game](http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197970562871)* A truly beautiful experience. The detail and the complexity of everything around you is so amazing, and the music makes it all come alive. Lots of genuine "wow" moments. I can't wait for what's next in this universe. Edit: One tip for players is to look up in the "menu" area. I think you need to view the main story part first to unlock them, but there are three pentagonal flower shapes above you to the left and right that open up and take you to other scenes/modes. I had no idea until I read the store page that mentioned the added scenes. Anyway, I was very happy to discover this. *– [Real player with 1.0 hrs in game](http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198011671031)* --- ![Moxie's Lemon](https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/1675440/header.jpg "") ## Moxie's Lemon Moxie's Lemon is a short cinematic platformer about pettiness and frustration, in the style of 2000s-era Flash games. Using mouse, keyboard, or gamepad, help Moxie get her lemon and achieve ultimate satisfaction! The goal of this game is to surprise you, frustrate you, and make you laugh. Features * _Constant dumb surprises_: Every screen has unique controls and objectives * _Unexpected musical sequences_: Action and music blend together in a horrifying blend of cartoon agony * _Frustratingly obtuse controls_: Laugh with surprise and cry with frustration as you try to figure out what is happening * _Short and sweet_: 15 weird minutes of your life that you'll never get back --- ![BATTLESCAR: Punk Was Invented By Girls](https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/1367270/header.jpg "") ## BATTLESCAR: Punk Was Invented By Girls Got it for 56 cents as a part of a bundle. Still got disappointed. To be fair, it is well executed in terms of visual storytelling and cinematography. Some really creative sets there! Unfortunately, these can't do much if the narrative and the main characters are bland and uninteresting. The abrupt and undercooked ending made the already underwhelming story - a complete waste of time for me. Also, it is an oculus exclusive, has a good amount of gender politics at its core, and if your chapter gets interrupted, like USB disconnection (thanks AMD) you need to suffer through the whole chapter without the option to skip forward. *– [Real player with 0.9 hrs in game](http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198044566671)* As a VR artist, I really enjoyed this experience. It is quite daring in terms of the format of narrative and also mixing a kind of "book" feel into the VR aesthetic. I would recommend it for any VR artists as a source of inspiration. The story is not the best however, a bit tacky and shallow but still enjoyable. Disappointed that it took much longer to get on Steam than on Oculus Store and also that they only support Oculus headsets, especially since there are almost no interactions (any?), so it's not like supporting controllers of other headsets would've been difficult. *– [Real player with 0.9 hrs in game](http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198009066700)* --- ![Beat the Beat Up!](https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/1620020/header.jpg "") ## Beat the Beat Up! | ### _⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀♫ I Set The Sea On Fire - Tastes Like Funk ♫⠀⠀⠀⠀_ ### ───────⚪─────────────────────────────────── ⠀▐▐ ⠀►▏ ⠀⠀──○─ 🔊 ⠀₁:₂₅ / ₃:₅₀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ᴴᴰ⚙ ❐ ⊏⊐ | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rqJcAX7pNc *– [Real player with 1.3 hrs in game](http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198180142797)* Simple games like this could be a lot worse but this one has a good feel to it.

I hope the dev adds more stages as DLC: I would like to buy it! *– [Real player with 1.4 hrs in game](http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198077703753)* I prefer casual games, so when I saw the screenshot of ‘Kooring Wonderland VR’ I thought it would suit my taste and downloaded it. I liked the protagonist character, but the rabbit-like guys who appeared as monsters were so cute that I had a lot of fun while playing the game. The games surprisingly had a good hit satisfaction, and the overall operation was intuitive, so there is no burden in enjoying the games with children. There is a lot of possibility for a sequel, so if it becomes a series, I think I will be able to enjoy the games again. *– [Real player with 1.4 hrs in game](http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198337016041)* ---
