Ponpu

Ponpu

Graphics: the style of black and white with colored accents is really well done- for the most part there’s a nice clarity to it all (minus some bones that look like they might be able to be walked over) and a lot of restraint is used in what is chosen to be colored. Boss design range from referential to repulsive in the same comedic way like Castle Crasher’s Catfish boss, but feel unique from one another and from the normal baddies.

Gameplay: Bomberman but strange duckbomberman creature instead. Rapidly launching bombs feels really nice, hitting things and destroying the environment feels impactful, Dashing through stages especially feels rewarding and frenetic. Some small issues with the cooldown with dashing feeling a bit random, and limitations to launching bombs where after 8-9 the next will suddenly not be launched and lead to a lot of accidental self-explosion during bosses. Stages in Story Mode scale up nicely, though it does treat you to a lot of dead ends and force you to explore around for the exit and the key, so if you like more linear experiences this might frustrate you especially near the end.

After some time with the game and almost being done with the story mode, I’m pretty mixed, but more on the negative side.

Ponpu is clearly inspired by that of Super Bomberman for the SNES, and it does a good job of making the idea unique: A game with different kinds of characters with different bomb abilities, a beautiful, yet wacky art style that ties in well with the goofy music backing the game, and overall a fresh take on the Bomberman games.

However, at times I found the redundancy of the story mode really sank in and made the game pretty boring: Walk around, blow things up to get rainbow feathers, kill enemies, get the gold key, move on- three normal levels and one boss, each stage. After the first three bosses, I was expecting some sort of change to how to advance on the levels/the challenge of beating the story. Yet all it did was change the look of the level, the look/difficulty of some enemies, and that’s about it. I do really enjoy the bosses, though, and I think Purple Tree did a very good job of making some nice boss fights in the story.

Solid game!

I’ve seen a review that called this a childrens' game. To that, I say “so what?”

This game has enjoyable elements regardless of being an adult, adolescent or child.

This is going to be somewhat of a comprehensive review so bear with me-

Soundtrack:

Great! I think that it very much fits the style of the game.

Interface:

Fantastic. A little goes a long way. All of the options are easily accessible and easy to change- unlike other indie games like phasmophobia, which I also love. Personally, I just like that ability to access the menu whenever needed.

Marooners

Marooners

Marooners is a great little party game that you can play with up to 6 players, You can mix local and online players. It is very chaotic because minigames just pauze and change often. It is a blast.

The goal of the game is always collecting coins, A coin is worth 1, A Emerald is worth 5 and a Diamond is worth 10. You can hit other players which disables them for a few seconds. You play trough the minigames and the player with the most coins at the end wins. It is not an easy task, Most of the minigames are very challenging especially with 6 players.

Have friends? check

Want to crush them in mini games? double check

Want to then destroy their souls by killing them right before they get the final goblet and win? triple check

This game is infinite laughs when you play with friends. The minigames are really fun and pretty diverse. The board game part is pretty interesting, sorta like mario party but you get tons of items to attack the other people with. You can kill them and make them respawn at the start, or just push them to a different path, totally stopping them from going where they wanted to.

I have played the game while it was free to play for one day and i really liked it. I like the fact that you can use your gadgets to kill or move yourself or other player. For now the game is great. I hope in the future the creator can make more minigames, more board and more character in the game. I really enjoyed playing it!

The gameplay is already super fun and easy to pickup. I played on remote play with a friend for a couple hours and we had a blast with it. The controls are super simple and easy to figure out, and a reasonable skill ceiling to reach once you figure out how to do one-timers, how to utilize jumps, and how to use the physics to your advantage. I also enjoy the single player practice and scoring modes, which are a fun way to add in some extra content when you just feel like playing some arcade hockey. I also really appreciate all the little characters and how they all have some sort of connection to hockey lingo. It’s a great little arcade game that definitely has a lot of room to grow and I’m super looking forward to the full release. I hope you guys decide to add in online multiplayer so we can play with up to 8 people online without having to mess with the steam remote play, or so we can play online against other random opponents. Fantastic game, super happy with the purchase!

Wow. Wow, wow, wow. For this price, I have never played a game with this much quality. The 3D graphics are stunning and are sometimes not seen in games worth $5 or more. Again, the game is worth buying just for its quality. Not to mention the control screen is as easy as pressing a button. The game is as simple as that, too! However, we haven’t even gotten to the actual game yet.

So, what is the game, you ask?

This game has 4 different modes with 7 total variations total. Arena and Trails are free-for-all modes, Blizzard and Multiball are team modes, and Arena, Trails, and Blizzard have practice variations. For every mode, there are 7-8 maps you can play on. On these map, there are circles of various sizes and location through it. After you select your button, you can press the button when in the circles to go around them in an orbit (hence “orbits” in the title). When you press your button outside the circle, you dash forward, which can be beneficial or hurtful, depending on the mode. You can always tell the direction of your character by looking at where the arow points. It never breaks physics, but it is helpful for when you have a lot of characters on the screen, and a small bit of color isn’t enough to keep your eye focused. In addition, there are modifications for the four multiplayer modes, giving you flexibility and countless arangements of fun! Lastly, if you are in a circle and an opponent or sphere hits you, your orbit will break unless you hit your button immediately afterwards. Alright, let’s go on to the modes!

TL;DR - A simple look with a simple mechanic. Good amounts of options, yet feels pretty samey after a while. It’s a party game that really tries, but never reaches it’s true potential. 7/10

12 orbits seemed interesting. The ability to play with 12 players with the usage of just a button each is incredible. With simple taps, everyone would take control their character without losing focus on what lies ahead. The concept comes together in four different modes that anyone can get into easily. The major question is, obviously, are these modes even entertaining to play. Personally I had a hard time figuring this out.
