An effective, charming 3D platform experience that is honestly one of the best on steam. I got to play this early thanks to the dev but in no way did that influence my opinion on it, it is genuinely a great experience you should check out for yourself.

A very fun game.
It’s a challenging platformer, that doesn’t alow you to jump, and you have to rely on ball physics to do any tricks.
Roll around, dodging obstacles, and beat the stage as fast as you can. It becomes adicting to beat a stage very fast, especially when you notice speedrun tactics by yourself, and you get a pretty good time.
Depending on your skill, this game can take anywhere from 2-15+ hours to beat.(first time playthrough that is)
But if this game gets enough people to play it, the custom levels will also add even MORE hours to it.

Starshot: Space Circus Fever
This may be the best way to play Starshot: Space Circus Fever today.
It’s relatively sad, because, as it’s been said, it is a bad port.
This being said, all of the issues can be overcome, and you can have an enjoyable experience with a few precautions.

TECHNICAL ISSUES
…obviously we’ll have to live with these homemade “fixes”, I have no hope these devs will ever take a second look at the game.
First of all, the FRAMERATE. The game becomes completely unplayable at some points in the first level. You have to exit the game and restart, you get 1 frame per second or something. I solved this problem running the game in compatibility mode for Windows XP - Service Pack 3. After I did this, my save file got deleted (?), but then I completed the game with ZERO FRAMERATE ISSUES, FROM BEGINNING TO END.

Personally I enjoyed the game for the nostalgia. One of the first games i ever played on computer. Starshot is a super old game, and therefore plays like it. Broken camera angles, messy controls and getting stuck on more than a fair share of objects. However I got lucky with it playing just fine on windows 10. I honestly thought I would encounter more bugs running it.

Slime 64
Slime 64 is a 3D Collectathon Platformer inspired by the 64-bit era!
Play as four uniquely strong elemental Slimes in any order you’d like as they meet each other on their journey and combine their powers to save the world from the diabolical Wurl Tzun and his ever-expanding enterprise. The Geo Keys and Golden Bells will unlock new worlds to explore as you amass your strength in numbers (and your pile of goodies).
Meet the Slimes!
Fly through the air with Winona, zip through water at high speed with Marsh, dash and jump farther and higher with Ash, and build up insane speed rolling around as Tuff. These four slimes hail from all around the world, but through their adventures will meet and fuse, allowing their powers to be used at the same time!
Choose a Visual Style
Some people prefer jaggy edges and scanlines, others prefer crystal clear sight. Play the game with Nostalgia Goggles set to On, HD Remaster, or Blinding!
Adaptive Soundtrack
Catchy tunes inspired by the style and tone of yesteryear combined with some smart programming help capture that classic exploration feel.
All sorts of challenges!
Do you like platforming? How about puzzle solving? Speedrunning? As fans of all of the above, we’re pushing Slime 64 to be the best it can be, and to offer something for everyone.

QUACK ATTACK 1985: TURBO DX EDITION
Yo! This game is the shit! You all need to make this game for MacBooks so I can play it when I’m with my mom too! This game is very fun and addicting for me, just not good for anyone with sensitive eyes, and again guys, you all should make it available for Macbook

2 points:
-
Regardless of your susceptibility to epilepsy, this game WILL give you a seizure (note the 5.5 hrs on record - i was not conscious for at least 5 of those hours).
-
This is not a duck simulator and is exploitive to waterfowl more generally.
All that being said, I recommend this game. …if only to promote a market where more waterfowl is featured in gaming.

Zool Redimensioned
A great remaster, built from the ground up, of this classic platformer.
I described this game on stream as “a fantastic remake of a troubled game” because the original versions of Zool have not aged well at all. From the small viewport, to the floaty controls (exacerbated by the game being inherently designed for the 50 FPS Amiga and not optimised for its subsequent releases in the US), it doesn’t play as nostalgia remembers it.
The remaster, however, does a grand job of making the 60 FPS framework work by massively increasing the screen real estate, improving the once-slippery controls, and adding an absolute game-changer (at least in the Redimensioned mode) of the Double Jump. These updates make Zool Redimensioned an absolute joy to play - everything feels tight, precise, and you almost always feel fully in control of every movement you make.

Playing the original back in the day, I always found Zool ‘fun’, but attempting to go back to it these days has been hard with its slippery controls and generally unforgiving nature.
Zool Redimensioned however, isn’t just the original game slapped into an emulator. This game is tight and redesigned to play so much smoother, with I believe redesigned levels too and with a lot more quality of life improvements. For one, the screen is zoomed out more so you can see more of the level before you, and Zool handles now like a dream. The game plays wonderfully and it shows an expert use of nearly 30 years of hindsight to improve, yet keep the charm of the Ninja from Nth Dimension. And hey, if you prefer the original, it’s here too!
