Freon

Freon

Lucky me has the dubious honour of writing the first review for Freon.

Freon is a 2 player split screen retro pixel platformer brawler from serial asset/template flippers, wow wow Games, who do very little but dump GameMaker Studio and other game construction kit template flips onto Steam as nasty cash grabs.

In the case of Freon, I’m not sure where they ripped this off from but we should expect it’s another asset flip because of the terrible past history of this “developer”. It’s a basic 2D retro pixel brawler with a twist, it’s split screen local multiplayer. They call it “hotseat”, but that’s not how hot seat games work, so I guess they probably didn’t look too deep into the game template they ripped off before they did.

This is a good game as of right now. What could make it better is more PVE modes, and a online mode. That would make a game have a lot more playability. This is still a great game to play with the boys with some bitchin boys night out music.

Tiny Hunter

Tiny Hunter

Tiny Hunter is a platformer in which you play as an antivirus clearing files of viruses by killing them and platforming to the end of each level. Everything is presented with that idea in mind, with the game’s menus being inside a computer and levels being presented as files. Even as a pretence to give players a bunch of levels to play, it’s simple but works well and doesn’t detract from what you actually want here: running through levels at the speed of sound, dashing like a madman to the exit.

Just played an hour of Tiny Hunter and it’s a great, challenging platformer. Playing without a controller was really difficult (as someone who rarely plays keyboard only) but great fun and I’m a big fan of the speed run mode. Clean and clear UI with a steep but fun challenge curve. If you’re into twitchy 2D platformers and have an appetite for speed running, well worth a look!

Rolf

Rolf

Rolf is an indie game that has fun cuphead/Mario vibes. It is full of fun fast paced levels that are challenging to beat. But even though the levels are challenging, you will quickly learn the fun mechanics of the game. If you have enjoyed playing cuphead or enjoy other platformers such as mario this is the game for you.

A beautiful and addictive addition to the asldfj;oaisheouhigoiu genre. Highly recommended.

I like the game. Happenlances approach to teach things is like how it was done back in the 8bit days. Levels are designed in a way that you have to learn to do new tricks in order to continue, and you don’t get any annoying tooltips or small videos that show you what you have to do. You really have to figure things out yourself. And oh boy it gets challenging and fast.

Only thing that i would add, is somekind of collectibles in hard places. That way when you get better in the game, you would revisit some maps to get those collectibles that you couldn’t get before.

Crushing friends & family with a crate has never been this fun before. Works great through Steam Remote Play!

Quite a fun couch fighter with some unique features, like fall damage and dissolving platforms, as well as some weird parkour elements. We used Steam remote with keyboard controls

NRG

NRG

NRG is an indie platform PVP action game, done a bit different.

Energy management is key, and keeping a constant eye on incoming bullets, hang of walls, and parkour about.

It’s ideally played with controller, and the movements feel pretty smooth.

Plenty of pewpews, bright colors, and free is always nice!

This game is quick to pick up. Great for casual play. The devs are enjoyable people. They are definitely not shy people. They are full of life and ambitions for this game. This game brings a new perspective to 3D platforming. I hope this game lifts off.

The soundtrack is alright, having it on loop in my ear for 5 hours. I do wish there were more sfx to the finishers. But i can understand why not due to copyright issues and etc.

The graphics are simplistic and adorable. Which are contradictory to their actions. 🤣 With limited maps so far, be prepared to watch the same scenery spin around your computer screen. The UI is rough to the eye, but the dev team does have some ideas on it in the future.
