It’s one of those cutesy challenging platformers that will probably make you scream. A great throwback game and freshman entry from this one-man dev team.

Meteoroids 3D
Asteroids: when the simplest is the most addictive.
Eighties of the twentieth century. The golden age of 8-bit video games. We were leaving school, and we were going to spend our precious coins in the arcade machines.
One of the machines that personally caught my attention was Atari’s Asteroids. How could something so simple be so addictive? How could they simulate the physics of that little white triangle on a black background in such a way?
Asteroids was as simple as it gets. A simple black background, a white triangle, and figures representing asteroids, which were destroyed as we shot white dots from our triangle, which was our ship. Imagination did the rest. And the inertia effects were really amazing for the time.
A tribute to Asteroids: Meteoroids 3D.
Meteoroids 3D doesn’t pretend anything except two things: to be a tribute to Asteroids, and to allow the player to go back to destroying space rocks in an absurd and crazy way. To do this we have created a modern game, with weapons and scenarios in three dimensions, but with the simplicity of the game of the time.
Meteoroids 3D doesn’t want to be better than Asteroids; that’s impossible. What we want is to make a tribute. And that’s all we want.
We have added some aspects, besides the famous UFO: a demon, and some enemy ships that launch rockets to destroy us. Main features are:
Features.
Note: we highly recommend using a pad (Xbox, Playstation or compatible) because you’ll have more control flying the starship.
1.- 24 levels, that follow the greek alphabet. Why the greek alphabet? It’s cool.
2.- Seven weapons. You get new weapons while you get new levels. But you can activate all the weapons from the very first time if you wish.
3.- Energy weapons are far more effective, but consume a lot of energy. Be careful.
4.- Missiles. They follow the priority targets. If there are only meteors, they destroy the nearest. If there are enemies, they follow the most dangerous.
5.- Enemies. Asteroids had the UFO. Here you’ll also get the Demon, the Mother Ship, and enemy fighters, that are very, very fast and dangerous.
6.- What if you don’t want enemies and just want play the old way, destroying meteors? Deactivate enemies and that’s it.
7.- Every time you start destroying meteors there is an incremental count that finishes after a time. Try to make your best records in the minimum time.
8.- There are two initial scenarios, more to come. But don’t worry: the main goal is to finish meteors, not scenarios.
9.- You can see who’s the best in the Steam statistics.
10.- First view is the best! We want third view! Well, choose how you want to play in the config menu.
11.- Fast game or a long challenge? You can modify the time for every level from 3 minutes to 15. And you’re going to suffer if you want to survive.
12.- Leaderboards and records for various items, including the record destroying meteors in 20 seconds.
Have an idea or something to say? This is a game to have fun. We’ll hear you.
Last, but not least, we have added a full physics option: if the player wants can activate it, and then the ship will have the same inertia that the small ship of the old game had, so the control will be logically more complex. Those who do not want that degree of realism in physics can leave the simple mode activated.
For the rest, Meteoroids 3D is a simple, addictive game, with twenty-four levels, which wants to be a tribute to the games that gave us so many good times in the eighties, and especially Asteroids, which undoubtedly made me leave many, many coins inside.
We hope you enjoy Meteoroids 3D, but don’t forget to play Asteroids in some emulator. It’s still as addictive now as it was then. Thank you very much.
Shudder
I’ve had a play of this last night and it really is something special. Coming from a 2 man team makes it all the more impressive.
Imagine Geometry Wars without the shooting mechanic. Don’t stop reading there! The lack of shooting may seem unsatisfying for an entire 30 seconds of gameplay…that’s until you use the “shudder” attack for the first time!
Collecting energy orbs which appear randomly on the screen allows you to charge your shudder (meter) attack. This can be triggered with the “A” button on the Xbox controller, “X” on the PS4 controller or Space bar on your keyboard - I highly recommend using a controller.

Shudder is a great take on the twin-stick formula, with innovative mechanics that are explained well, awesome presentation and plenty of longevity from the available unlocks. Essentially you’re tasked with destroying enemies with your “shudder” but you need to build up your power every time you use it, and different enemies require different amounts of power to be built up before you let loose. However, there are also some great additional gameplay mechanics that require you to prioritise the best use of your shudder ability…

Hey! If you enjoy my reviews, follow my curator page [url]here![/url] I am an independent Curator providing reviews and insights to the games that need the spotlight! Thank you! :)
For all of us that comb our first grey hairs and love racing games, there was a golden age that we remember fondly and that’s when SNK published racing games for their console, the Neo Geo. Games like Over Top (the spiritual successor of the legendary Thrash Rally) and Neo Drift Out came as a breeze of fresh air on a console that was particularly known for its fighting games. Also, one of the arcade kings of the era was World Rally, from Zigurat. These games incorporated a very characteristic isometric view and were known for their excitement, full of adrenaline infused speed that made each race exciting and unforgettable.

```A recommendation with some reservation.
Pros:
- Pleasant 90's PlayStation1-like presentation
- Great arcady music
- Great announcer voice actress (she needs more lines)
- The drifting sounds like Ridge Racer :D (overall the sound effects are pretty good)
- The cars look bright and colorful, also much like Ridge Racer or Auto Modelista (the look of the cars makes this game attractive at first glance)

## Flowing Lights
**Introduction**
Flowing Lights is a puzzle shmup or shooter with a ton of zones you're encouraged to speed run one at a time. I was given a free copy for betatesting and have played through the whole game. For each zone you have to figure out the best way to clear it, then use your shmup skills to get past the bullets and take out the enemies.
**Gameplay**
There are 10 levels with each 17 to 26 short zones. The first two levels act as tutorial. Your weapons are regular fire and a slingshot with a slow laser guide. You can also use boosts with a time interval. You start each level with 1 live and you can earn more for clearing a zone without getting hit. In some zones you can earn weapon upgrades for getting combos. You earn a C rank for just finishing a zone but if you're fast enough you can get Bs, As and Ss.

## GraviFire
Puzzle game with very interesting mechanics and charming pixel art. Game is a bit short, with only 50 levels. Difficulty isn't that hard, enough to make you think, but the lack of an undo button can get pretty annoying, and I feel that it adds some artificial difficulty, but the game is still pretty doable with patience. Having said that, it is pretty cheap, and is unique enough for me to be worth a buy.

**gravifire** is a sokoban-like/sliding hybrid set in space. block pushing comes into play by directly controlling a green alien trapped inside a strong body suit or something (there's a short cutscene at the beginning), so you can move stuff around yourself, but the **gravity changing mechanic** moves all the crates in the same direction at the same time, hence the likeness to sliding puzzlers.

## Slab
I played this game for quite a while hours how could I not like it? Here comes the weird part I did for a bit. However, I am not recommending this game because quite frankly there seems to be a gross lack of effort by the dev of this game leading to the point of it being borderline unethical… also the bugs and oversights. So long story short just get a different game, it will play better and you won't have to deal with this mess.
### Glitches
So starting with parts the people just looking to play a game would be concerned about the bugs

Slab is a rather mediocre 50 level Arkanoid clone offering nothing new whatsoever. The objective is to use a paddle and ricochet a ball around the screen until you demolish all the destructible bricks on that said level and then move onto the next and do the same.
There are a handful of power ups that will help you in that task by granting either multi ball, the ability to shoot bricks, speed decrease, paddle enlarger, ball enlarger, score increase and extra life. The extra lives seem to be capped at 5 and to get another you will need to lose a life first. On the flip side there are negative power-ups that you will also need to avoid obtaining. Mainly paddle shrink, score decrease and instant death.

## Space Mayhem
A well-calibrated space shooter. Several ships to choose from have distinct characteristics, this adds replay ability. Very enjoyable as casual entertainment. Or, prepare to swear if you wish to make it to the leaderboards.

Very cheap game that's a lot of fun! I've been having a blast playing it and trying to beat my high scores. If you're looking for a game that's easy on your wallet, then you should try it out! Fun to compete scores with friends too.
