Arkan: The dog adventurer
An interesting and complex mixture of two simple genres.
Pros:
1. Pleasant graphics, animations and music.
2. Interesting gameplay.
3. Challenging difficulty.
4. Level editor.
Cons:
1. No Workshop for users-created levels.
Wishes:
1. Ultra-easy mode. In which, for example, the strength of blocks and enemies will be significantly reduced.
2. Custom levels Workshop.

My girlfriend and I played this game for a little less than an hour. We were attracted to the beautiful pixel graphics and animation, the cute dog, and the jumpy gameplay.
It plays like a platformer bullet-hell brick breaker game, which is a pretty unique idea. It controls well and the trailer represents all this very well.
Sadly for us, the game was just way too difficult. We felt like we had little control of the ball and defeating enemies just wasn’t fun. It never felt like we were being rewarded enough for completing incredibly difficult levels and even when we made it though a level by the skin of our teeth, it felt like it was just rng. Not to mention we often did it without breaking the stars required to unlock further levels. We managed about 15 levels before we had to quit, and we couldn’t really tell any difference between the easy and hard difficulty options.

The Sun at Night
The Sun at Night is a fun action/platformer with metroidvania vibes (though it isn’t really a metroidvania) that unfortunately ends on a major cliffhanger.
The story appears to take place in an alternate history, perhaps post-apocalyptic, Soviet Union. You play as Laika, a cybernatically enhanced dog who has no idea where she came from or who made her. After Laika wakes up, she falls in with what appears to be a group of anti-Soviet revolutionaries, and accepts a mission from them, which leads into another and then another, and then … full stop. Lots of questions are raised about what the hell is really going on, but aside from a couple vague hints which only raise more questions, nothing is answered. I guess that’s left for the next game, or the one after that, or the one after that - who knows?

The Sun at Night is a metroidvania game set in a strangely unique setting. You’re Laika, the first dog sent into orbit. However, instead of miserably burning along with the ship, you’re now a robot dog, joining the Rebel force against the Soviets, who seem to dominate the Earth (and beyond).
I’ll give you some time to take that in. Even the game’s characters find it strange that you’re a talking dog in silver armor. With a gun mounted on your back. Yes.
The concept probably got your interest already, I assume. Execution isn’t nearly as great, and I’ll try to explain the best I can.

Hollow Mind: The Lost Puppy
While this game doesn’t do anything especially bad, it simply doesn’t offer any reason to play it. It looks pretty, but the gameplay is too simplistic to offer any intrinsic entertainment, and there’s no narrative or other such reward to make it worth sitting through. Add in the bugs and general lack of polish and you get a game that simply isn’t worth the time in its current state.
The core of an interesting game is certainly here, but it’s barebones enough that it feels more like a project the developer used to play around with ideas than an actual game. The biggest issue in my opinion is a lack of reward or positive feedback for the player. For example, the stated goal given at the beginning of the game is to collect the “three” stuffed animals in every level. However, not only are there more than three of them in many levels, but there’s no actual incentive to collect most of them. A few of them have achievements tied to them, but it’s fully possible to gather all the achievements without collecting them, leaving most of them utterly pointless.

PAW Patrol The Movie: Adventure City Calls
Very low effort, buggy and looks like it was thrown together over a weekend. 34.99 GBP for this is a joke.

Bibou Quest
Bibou Quest - An excellent 2D platformer with a great soundtrack, which I really liked that it can be played together.
In this game you need to collect all the stars in the game and one heart. There are 20 levels in the game and each one becomes more difficult with each level.
I bought this game for my children, now they are very happy and run in a place in it.

Cool game to play with a friend.
The controls are convenient, children’s graphics and cartoon in the form of large pixels.
The background music is pleasant and calm. Sometimes the difficulty of passing is very great.
Adjustable difficulty of the game.
Deceptive cute graphics hide the complex gameplay.
Convenient control.
You can play together.

Joy the Pug
A pug-tastic game. It’s a sweet and short adventure of Joy the Pug trying to save the world from Space Kittens. There are 20 levels in which you need to jump over obstacles and try not to die. I admit, some levels were frustrating as hell (that’s the idea, right?) and I almost gave up, but kept on going because I was having a laugh at the same time. The puns were cute, Joy was cute, and the music is addictive.
The game probably needs polish here and there but, knowing that the budget was limited and it was done by a very small team, I am pleased with what they created. I hope we’ll get to see more games from them in the near future!
