Archero
Dear archer hero, it’s time to answer the call of the world and complete the necessary challenges to become a god!
Using your skillful archery skills, different arrows and the blessings of the bow gods, you can easily destroy all kinds of enemies and complete a variety of challenges.
Don’t forget to defeat your challengers, they don’t want you to become a god!
Shoot!
Draw an arrow from your pack, then build up your strength and shoot at the enemy! The greater the force, the faster the arrow and the more damage it will do to the enemy.
A shot that hits an enemy may break their joints and slow them down. There is a chance of a blast effect or even a kill shot!
Enemy armour
Enemies do not always reveal their flesh and blood, but usually wear armour of varying strengths in different torso positions, including light, medium and heavy armour.
Usually some enemies will be able to tell at a glance which type of armour is dominant, while others will need to be tried with an arrow.
Each part of the armour has its own durability value and will protect its owner with a response damage reduction parameter until it is depleted, but some arrows can penetrate directly regardless of the armour.
Types of arrows
When facing enemies without armour, or wearing light, medium or heavy armour, the different types of arrows are more effective and are
Normal arrows - average muzzle velocity, penetrate light armour and dent medium armour, but break when encountering heavy armour
Barbed arrow - higher muzzle velocity, penetrates and deals a lot of damage to unarmored and light armour, breaks on medium and heavy armour
Flat arrow - low muzzle velocity, dents almost all armour and loses a lot of durability
Sharp Arrows - Very high muzzle velocity, can penetrate all armour types including heavy armour, but do less damage
Normal arrows are infinite and you will automatically harvest other arrows from the Bow God on a regular basis, so remember to be flexible!
Growth
You gain experience by hitting enemies. Each time you accumulate a certain amount of experience you can upgrade and choose one of three random growth paths. Feel free to choose your own direction of development!
God Wishes
Wishes will accumulate automatically over time, and each successful shot will accumulate more wishes. When they are full, they unleash powerful aspirations.
These skills last for a while and come in different types: from rapid fire and knockback to charm and disguise, each of which has its own use to help you defeat the enemy.
Divine Rites
Each time you achieve a part of your goal, you will receive a gift from the gods. You can choose from a variety of different rewards, from special passive skills, divine wishes or special arrows.
Bow
Find bows with different attributes from all over the map, or from dead enemies, and use them with a passive skill or a divine wish to achieve outstanding results.
Quests or the Bow God
Complete a series of quests for the Bow God and collect crystal shards to cement your path to godhood. As your strength increases, you can receive various levels and quests such as defence, assault, sneaking and collecting.
Special helpers
Skeletons in tombstones, locked gates, stone throwers for defence, carefully erected stone balls, rickety suspension bridges - the mechanics in each mission will be a great help to you!

PixelJunk™ Shooter Ultimate
Despite the deep hues, this game feels more approrpriate for the Spring season than Autumn. I’m not sure why that is, but I correctly trusted my gut. I ended up finishing this well into the summer, mostly due to IRL obligations and my desire to find every gem & scientist.
I love this game because there’s less emphasis on killing organisms and more importance placed on navigating the environments to save humans from perishing. I have to commend Q-Games for that direction, something that I wish wasn’t so rare in the contemporary videogame landscape.

★★★★☆
PJSU is a great coop experience, but weirdly enough you’ll notice a bunch of levels seem to be made with the mindset of a singleplayer game, as some levels felt too cramped and tight for the double action. Luckily, these levels appear a view times, mostly only in the second half of the game. This half happen to be my least favourite part, because the first half just had slightly better level design in overall.
I’d like to point out again how much fun the game is with a collabortive partner. Most levels are kind of boring by yourself, but are more intense and interesting with another player next to you as he or she can harm you too by accident. Nevertheless, while hunting down the last achievements by myself (because of a specific tracking bug), I still did enjoy the music (when it works 60% of the time) and the water mechanics. It’s always satisfying to shoot open a hole where the water bursts out of and negates the magma below.

The Last Cadet
A mission gone wrong, an ancient monster awaken!
A private military company is hired to escort a laboratory team in a submarine to recover a valuable specimen near an abandoned deep sea facility. As the laboratory team and part of the military personnel explore the target site, things go wrong almost immediately. An ancient monster attacks the submarine and sinks it, ruining the submarine’s communication links. A mere cadet, John “Flash Pan” Pinback is the team’s last hope at survival as the only escape route is a mini-sub that’s in bad need of replacement parts, which Flash Pan can find and fix. Meanwhile, Captain Valeria Buenrostro must search the submarine and target site to save her squad members while dealing with constant sabotage from an unknown source.
Twin-stick action-driven survival horror in a 1-bit, deep sea metroidvania!
Play the individual stories of Flash Pan and Captain Buenrostro to discover the truth behind the ill-fated mission and unravel the not so abandoned deep sea facility, all the while surviving the wrath of an ancient monster and a submarine filled with mutated versions of electric eels, jellyfish, and sharks.
Make the most of available resources and dive into an array of weapons with unique ways to use them!
Light is scarce with the only sources being the few working lamps, resident bioluminescent marine life, and the deep sea suit. Use twin stick controls to survive the horrors that are drifting in the darkness with multiple weapons, some of which can be used in unique ways like dashing with the harpoon gun, high jumping with the shotgun’s recoil, and busting open stuck doors with a flamethrower-like welding kit.
Play with a friend and sink together into a world 20,000 pixels below normalcy …
Couch co-op experience with multiple modes as Flash Pan and Captain Buenrostro. Take on waves of enemies coming at you at full strength or complete missions together from clearing enemies from specific areas to scavenger hunts.

Journey to Moonray
Journey to Moonray is a hypnotic, top-down twin-stick shooter featuring silky smooth visual FX and intense combat.

Real-time gameplay input from intense battles results in a responsive feast for the eyes.

Rack up points while battling waves in Traversal to hit a target score by the end of the level. Take on extra deadly enemies in Boss mode, dealing with the toughest challenges before time runs out.
Pop’s
‘Pop’s’ is a fun little arcade stall style shooter in which you have to shoot various toys with a colour corresponding ball. Set in a funfair style setting the graphics are bright and colourful keeping with the fun theme. The good news is the gameplay is also fun and very simple to get into (despite the long, drawn-out tutorial). Provided you are going to play this at a VR party with friends or you just enjoy chasing your own score you will get your money’s worth there, but in truth, there really isn’t a lot of content. Sure, its not original and you don’t get a lot for your money, but its a bit of fun for a small price and that is good enough for me.

PixelJunk™ Shooter
PixelJunk Shooter is a twin-stick shooter, with a very big focus on physics (specifically fluids). While exploring the underground caves of a planet, you’ll have to interact with lava, water, liquid metal, ice and rock in order to save the scientists who are now trapped.
The story is basically that. You’re in a ship, trying to save every scientist. And also collecting hidden gems. Whole it may seem a game about exploration, it didn’t quite get to that point, in my opinion. But more on that later.

PixelJunk Shooter is, as the name suggests, a shooting game. You control a yellow ship which is sent to help out some scientists on a planet in which after alot of digging something went wrong. The story is told when you rescue certain survivors, colored ones, which upon pickup will show up a text screen telling something that happened previously during the excavations. You progress through the game by picking up gems and survivors which will then unlock new areas for you to play. Gameplay wise the ship control is really smooth and satisfying with a some pretty decent shooting, your ship has 2 standard attacks, one that shoots projectiles if you keep tapping the attack button and if you hold it down you’ll launch homing missiles. The level design and the visuals are pretty well done, considering it’s a 2D game and as you progress to later levels the difficulty really ramps up at a fair pace keeping the game challenging even when you already master the game. Besides having to kill enemies on each level and rescuing survivors and gathering gems you’ll find yourself most of the times trying to solve some sort of puzzles in which you need to manipulate various type of terrain either it is ice or rock and liquids such as water and lava or even gas or deadly black goo. Overall PixelJunk Shooter is a pretty fun game to play when you’re bored or if you’re looking for something casual, you can easily beat it in around 6 hours or so and it’s a pretty good time. If you’re a fan of PixelJunk games you’ll probably also enjoy this one and if you do enjoy this one but haven’t played Monsters or Eden you should totally check those two.

The visuals and music are fantastic with game play to match.
Feels amazing to play and the extra challenge of getting S Ranks can be addicting.

Unlimited Replayability
The journey to become an “Ace” starts when you beat the campaign. You get stats and a rank for every level. S, A, B, and so on. Between speedrunning and a slick level editor, hard to say what it means to “beat” Gravity Ace. There’s always something to do.
I could see a pretty fun speedrunning community coming out of this. Would love to see some streamers pick it up.

Guns and Grapples
I absolutely love this game! It takes a while to master, but I enjoy playing it. 8 hours in and I’m only on world 5 because you can play this game in so many different ways! Great for completionists, speed runners, and casual gamers! I normally can’t play platformers for long before getting bored. But the challenge this game provides keeps me hooked! I highly recommend trying!
