Pocket Bravery
Pocket Bravery is inspired by classics from the 90s, such as Street Fighter, Fatal Fury and The King of Fighters. And its SD aesthetic had an influence on games like Pocket Fighter and other fighting games from Neo Geo Pocket Color.
But make no mistake, Pocket Bravery was created to be a new and unique fighting game, with original characters, vibrant colors and a combat system that will impress you, since the game was designed with the focus on high level players. Even so, it has features that will teach beginning players how to develop and evolve in the game.
The game uses the digital pad and four buttons, two for punches and two for kicks. You can execute the traditional commands from the fighting games using the directional pad plus the button to make special moves, super specials or even the final attack. Each character has an element that represents his strength, can be physical or supernatural. You can accumulate up to 2 attacks on the elemental bar. Through this system, it is possible to execute elemental attacks that have different characteristics from the others and bring new offensive or defensive possibilities for the player.

Bludgeon
Bludgeon is a death match between bird-riding warriors wielding flails. Evade the spikes and your enemies' weapons in your feeble attempt to survive and become victorious. Grab some controllers and some friends, and prepare to be bludgeoned!
Inspired by games like Joust, Towerfall, Super Smash Brothers, and Bomberman, Bludgeon is being built with love, knowing there are few things more fun and worthwhile than a room full of friends enjoying a good video game together.
Features:
-
Simple but polished gameplay, centered around use of the flail – swing it, block with it, and throw it!
-
A unique, sensible control scheme.
-
Risk/reward based gameplay:
-
If you have your weapon out, you can attack, but it hinders your movement.
-
You can throw your weapon, but that leaves you temporarily defenseless.
-
Keep your weapon out longer for a super-powerful charged attack!
-
-
Up to four players at once.
-
Several characters and stages to choose from.
-
Pain and death at the hands of your enemies – or, if you’re fortunate, sorrow and guilt as an undeserving survivor in an uncaring world.

My Night Job
Cartoon-styled side-scrolling beat’em up game with surprisingly complex and challenging mechanic.
Basically, you’re dropped just outside of some big mansion, filled with respawning monsters and “civilians”, as well as some items you can use as weapons - from umbrellas and chairs to gas baloons and everyone’s favourite - the Chainsaw!
In short, you beat monsters, gather people and led them to rescue (helipads on the edges of the mansion). For each rescue you collect some goodness, like healthkits, guns with ammo etc. After you rescue 100 people, your main goal changing to blow up the mansion, by settling some C4 in the basement. Meanwhile, as you running back and forth through the area, the monsters are growing their numbers, and if they reach some trigger point, they starting to tear the mansion apart - yeah, before you’ll be able to save everyone and leave the place.

If you think I missed something in my review feel free to tell me
My Night Job
My Night Job is a tribute to the classics of horror and is a nice paying occupation if you somehow live through the job. I will add a TL;DR at the end.
Gameplay
My Night Job is fairly simple as your goal is to save 100 survivors from an abandoned mansion as you are also trying to make sure you do not die and hope that the mansion is not destroyed by its monstrous guests. Do this by using various environmental objects to kill the monsters. This is not an easy game by far and there are tributes to classics all around the mansion. The tributes include the different areas of the mansion and six special survivors you can recuse which give you certain bonuses. An example of one of these is the girl from the ring which you can rescue through one of the televisions within the residence.

Jump Gunners
I was lucky enough to be able to test this game throughout it’s alpha and beta stages, only to see it finally launch a few weeks ago. I would have written a review earlier if I had the free time, but obviously with it getting this close to December, people that are still in school know that it finals are coming up quick. Anyways, seeing this game progress through its development has been eye opening in how games can be designed. The developer takes comments and suggestions to heart, and will even possibly show up in future updates.

I was lucky enough to playtest some early builds of Jump Gunners and to see it develop into the awesome game you can buy today.
I’ve put it in front of a bunch of people for multiplayer matches and everyone picks it up quickly. It makes people laugh, and swear, and most importantly makes them want to keep playing “just one more round”.
Obviously, it has a retro asthetic, but more importantly it reminds me of what local multiplayer gaming used to feel like in the Mega Drive era - switch it on, and jump right into the action.

Rivals of Aether
The best platform figther in the business next only to Melee. Crazy movement and mechanics with a low enough skill floor for newcomers and an insane skill ceilling that seems to only get higher the further the meta goes on.

This is probably one of my favorite Smash clones out of all of them for now. Not only is the game play, the crossovers, and content, but for the encouragement for workshop support. Modding is one of the main reasons why people even play SSB Brawl still, and for good reason. More content, unexpected characters to play as, and more variety.
Ever since workshop has released during beta and since the making of this review, 5000+ creations ranging from new characters, stages, and more have been released, slowly and surely improving as time progresses. Not only that, but workshop is very optimized for categorizing different characters per series or creator and how it loads them up to not overfill the game.

STONEBOND: The Gargoyle’s Domain
STONEBOND: The Gargoyle’s Domain, good concept, neat art but terrible controls. I like it overall but I feel like for a game like this to be popular it has to be targeted to a very specific audience, one that is interested in “couch” multiplayer on PC.

Boring Man - Online Tactical Stickman Combat
I spent literally 1,175 hours on this game. It is so much fun despite it’s dying community, and I joined way after it started losing players. First thing I should say is that no matter how many new players come in and say it’s pay to win, hecc no it’s not. Premium gives you hats and other cool things while weapon skins are just weapon skins. The current version that is available is still in beta, and yet it is still extremely fun, with enough maps and weapons to last you hours upon hours of fun. Every weapon you unlock will have a different use in terms of how you play, but there are no restrictions, it’s however you choose to use them. And again, to those who take a look at one or two of the many weapons in this game and think “huh, this looks cheap” or “hey this’ll get me a lot of easy kills”, none of it will be that way (with the exception of the grenade launcher). All of the weapons have their own positives and negatives, and for an indie game I’d say it’s pretty freaking balanced, if you’re dying too much it’s because you’re new. It is in fact possible to be good at this game, and I’ve met some really really good players along the way. This game is one of the only online games I ever enjoyed, it’s honestly just so good. Another thing I’ll say is that a lot of people I know hate its community for its toxicity, but the thing is most of them are nice when you get to know them. I really do suggest you to play this game if you haven’t already, if toxicity is a problem for you then just mute the chat with F5, this game is too fun to pass by.

Mmmn~
This game…. Ooof, what should I say? I’ve played this game a loooot and there’s so many things I’m still finding about it. I mean, yeah, it’s a free game and there’s no set story line or anything to complete but something about this game keeps me still playing it.
I find the combat to be relatively simple but at the same time, it can be much more complex when you take it a step further. It’s a standard 2D platformer shooting game involving many different weapons that could be utilized to kill your foes. However, that isn’t all. Some weapons are used to get around easier, where if you know proper tricks and practice enough, you can essentially fly across from one side of the map to the other, sneaking past enemies.

Mayhem Masters
Mayhem Masters is a great take on Bomberman style play, featuring tried and true gameplay mixed with fresh ideas. The game is super easy to pick up for anyone at any skill level, only requiring that you can move around and hit a button to drop bombs. What sets it apart is the various tweaks that can be made to the game settings. You can play rounds in a huge variety of ways by changing how blocks work, allowing or disallowing certain items, and choosing between a solid variety of maps. My personal favorite feature is the between-round store, where you can use coins you’ve accrued to purchase upgrades to give you an edge. This is definitely a must-have for your couch co-op collection, try it at your next party!

Ultra Space Battle Brawl
It’s a fun game.
Might be short for singleplayer, but you can buy it and play multiplayer via Steam Remote Play Together.
The trailer should tell you all you need to know. Pong but also fighters.
So here’s the classic list:
Good things:
(+)Design and Gameplay = quite interesting. Indie games nowadays do mix-and-match genres. Sometimes they don’t work but this one does.
(+) Music = can’t really describe it, it’s just cool sounding.
Important things to know (Neutral points, i guess):

Ultra Space Battle Brawl is ping pong on steroids with story and personality.
Pros
1. Story mode
2. Versus 1v1 or 2v2
Cons
1. Difficulty is pretty high
2. Not Much of content
3. Raden is “Broken” boss character
4. Lack reward after beating story mode
5. No Online Versus
6. Lacks Modes of play
Overall:
Ultra Space Battle Brawl is a interesting game but lack unlockable and extra modes of play and have no online versus.
The game make for a great versus game with friends or family and have a interesting story behind it but fail the replay part in my opinion why? because after you beat the story with all characters and unlock most thing in gallery there not much there after words and yes you can unlock the boss character for versus but he not playable in the story mode.
