Gryphon Knight Epic: Definitive Edition
Gryphon Knight Epic: Definitive Edition:
After having defeated the enormous dragon that destroyed the all the crops and the army of the kingdom of Valiantskies, and of course, having saved the Princess, the leader of a group of eight heroes, Sir Oliver, fell deeply in love with the Princess as they stared into each other’s eyes for the first time. In the meantime, the other party members were already at the defeated Dragon’s Lair, taking possession of his gold, and most importantly, of seven powerful magic weapons! By the time Sir Oliver arrived at the Lair, there was plenty of gold for him to scoop away, along with an amulet, but no more special weapons. Years have passed, and Sir Oliver is now married to the Princess and has a child, but life is now kind of boring, his only outing being with his amazing Gryphon Aquila to gather food for supper. Until one day . . . he comes face to face with his own spectre, which is his total opposite and swears to destroy him, all thanks the Amulet he found years prior in the Dragon’s Lair.

Classic arcade shoot 'em up (shmup) with polished pixel graphics, metroidvania-lite depth, upgrade systems, and a clear megaman influence; rock paper scissors style weapon acquisition between bosses – minus the punishing difficulty.
It's a breath of fresh air in an otherwise saturated roguewhatever/massive metroidvania market. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a lot of roguelite/likes and love metroidvanias, but sometimes you just want a burger, not a six course meal. The game is still challenging; you'll probably die at least a few times even if you're a bullet-hell junky (which this game also is not).

## Warlock Bentspine - Toilet Edition
It took me awhile to figure out that there were upgrades, but after I did, LOVED IT!
*– [Real player with 10.3 hrs in game](http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199087228068)*
nothing especially bad about this game, but it almost seems to pride itself on being lackluster. It's competently made and fairly polished, but I can't help but feel like there was a great game just beneath the surface that didn't come to fruition.
it's not particularly fun, but it wasn't annoying enough for me to stop playing. music is good, sprites are charming but poorly colored. level design is pretty standard fare, systems (upgrades, weapons) are intriguing but don't make up for the repetitive and uninteresting enemy behaviors.

## Montezuma's Revenge
Great nostalgia product. I played this game on my Apple //+ back in the 80s on a monitor without color. So the green and red keys had the same shade of green back then. I learned to hook the Apple //+ to a color TV, and that changed things!
This version is just like the old product, with some changes:
1\. A bat will show up if you linger on a screen too long.
2\. Each level has three masks, randomly hidden in the levels, which you can optionally find. These give points / new life.
3\. There is new artwork. But I prefer to play with the 'retro' setting.

This game takes me back. This was one of my favorites that I had back in the 80's on the Apple //e on a 5.25 inch floppy disk lol. I used to play this like crazy on a monochrome Apple Monitor III green monitor long before I got the RF color adapter for my system to play on a regular TV or monitor and seeing it then in color. Wow…those were the days. Back then, I was using a joystick to play the game instead of using a keyboard.
The keyboard controls are basic and responsive but takes a little getting used to for some areas of the levels. I haven't tried the game yet with a controller to see if it would work or not but so far, it's quite playable and I'd recommend the advanced graphics over the retro look.

## The Adventures on Uranus
The Adventures on Uranus is an example of competent developer direction and skill. With a game like this on the market, it is unimaginable how Cyberpunk even has a chance.
I ran into one bug, which put a damper on my progression in the game. I walked from one tower, to the other tower. Upon entering the second, and final tower, I was unable to ascend the stairs of this beautiful environment.
Nonetheless, the artistic direction and world building are phenomenal. The developers really thought out a unique and interest world for me to engage in. It's set on an alien world, never before seen or heard of — Uranus. Apparently this name is rooted in deep, real world, mythology. Way to go devs!
*– [Real player with 0.2 hrs in game](http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198136789464)*
The Adventures on Uranus is a short, sweet experience. No objectives or timer of any kind make for a genuinely relaxing experience, allowing you to get absorbed into the vibrantly-colored world of this game. The tower interiors are especially mesmerizing, and the town square is thoughtfully laid out and peaceful. A wonderful and promising first foray into game design and programming - well done to John and Alex!

## Turbo Kid
Turbo Kid is a BMX-powered pixel-art Metroidvania gore-fest based on the film of the same name.
This is the future, the world as we know it is gone. You are The Kid, a lone warrior on a journey to cross the Wasteland in search of hope. What you will find on your way however is a land riddled with scoundrels and creeps which you'll have to go through - sometimes quite literally - in order to survive.
Turbo Kid’s choc-full-of-mayhem Turbo Glove™ will help make your quest smoother and much, much bloodier! Turbo Blast, Electric Shocks, your trusty machete, and then some; use the array of weapons at your disposal to slash, rip apart, or explode enemies into hysterical and over-the-top splashes of gore!
Run, crawl, jump, hang, and, for the very first time in a Metroidvania (don’t research this), bike your way through the levels! Ladies and gentlemen, we give you the height of human-powered transport technology: the BMX Bike!
Move around the map faster, access new areas, and practice your bike tricks in preparation for the 1998 Wasteland Olympics Freestyle BMX Event. No need to find an unrusted fence to lock your bike in this game! It'll be there at the touch of a button whenever you need it.
Our story begins immediately after the events of the movie, as the Kid, you must cross the Wasteland after losing a friend in a tragic bloody battle. On your way, you will meet an array of colorful characters, some friends, some foes, and some in-between, who will offer advice, quests, fights, and jokes (lots of jokes).
We're really proud of the story we've created for the game and we think you'll enjoy it too. That being said, if you're only in it for the gameplay and the story isn't for you, you won't even need to skip the cutscenes, you can basically just ignore and walk past them.
Like the Metroidvanias of old, TURBO KID allows you to explore the different zones and defeat bosses in the order you see fit, favoring exploration and discovery over a linear narrative. Over the course of the game, you will also be asked to make personal and moral choices that will affect the process of the game allowing for multiple playthroughs with different paths and outcomes.
