La-Mulana

La-Mulana

La Mulana is…. an unfortunate game. It is very interesting and has a lot of potential, but it commits many gaming sins that can’t be overlooked. This is a NES era kind of game that is designed to force you to use some kind of guide when playing it (think castlevania 2). If you respond to this, don’t just say ‘the game is supposed to be hard’. Dark Souls is my favorite game; I know the difference between a game that is difficult because it’s designed well, and a game that is difficult because it is designed badly.

Do I recommend this game?

No. You can read the reviews and decide for yourself whether you think you’ll be able to stomach it, otherwise I see little value in trying to play it for simple reasons such as liking the art, or metroidvanias, or puzzles, or because a lot of people say it’s amazing.

Something I’ve noticed while playing La-Mulana is that an overwhelming majority of modern (and not-so-modern) games have quite some of the so-called “handholding” in some shape or form. This includes games being touted as having nearly no handholding such as Dark Souls (I’m sorry, I need to draw comparisons simply because other people probably draw them but for the wrong reasons, and it’s a good difficult game that is similar but also incredibly different).

Hit the halfway mark. Pretty entertaining game for only 5$. Worth the price.

Basically crypt of the necromancer not if is was not a rythm game and your characters always running. Game gets really challenging as levels go on.

Paquerette Down the Bunburrows

Paquerette Down the Bunburrows

The bunburrows are filled with the cutest bunnies… and Pâquerette wants them all!!

U=๏ x ๏=U U=๏ x ๏=U U=๏ x ๏=U

The bunnies flee when Pâquerette gets too close: they will dash through the tunnels carefully avoiding dead ends. Will you let the lil critters outsmart you?

  • Use the bunnies' smart yet predictable behaviours against them!

  • Resort to various tools such as traps, pickaxes and carrots when simply manipulating the bunnies' moves isn’t quite enough!

  • Explore diverse bunburrows, each featuring their own distinct visual and musical themes (and maybe some special bunnies??)

  • Capturing bunnies is all fun and games but Pâquerette would also love to find some baby bunnies, but how?

  • Secrets may lurk deep down the bunburrows…

  • and the most important feature: BUNNIES

This game was originally created for the Ludum Dare Game Jam 48!

Pro Pain Labs

Pro Pain Labs is a 2D platformer game with a retro art style. This game seems to looks simple, but the overall quality and art style makes it a good game. The player’s journey starts with easy obstacles and slowly, it becomes difficult, but not impossible.

Game is a mostly fun platformer with emphasis on momentum.

major problems with design of stages leaving me to feel like I am forever waiting on platforms to respawn or return on their journey across the entire stage and back.

Gave up after a stage had me wait on a button for a door to raise.

This game is a lot of fun and definitely worth the price! Has a nice retro feel and reminds me of old block breaker and space invaders games!

Super addictive. I thought I would just play for a minute and put it down but I wound up playing for 6 hours straight. It brings back feelings of playing galaga at my favorite pizza place as a child. I could really see it sitting along games like galaga and space invaders in an arcade in the 90’s. I haven’t spent so much time playing with balls since church camp!!! 10/10

The Last King’s Archer

The Last King’s Archer

At first I thought it would be annoying to just kill endless waves of enemies, but the use of powers and the increasingly insane different waves of enemies trapped me somehow. I believe that in some update it will be translated into other languages. I missed more items to be able to buy with the diamonds, after all, they are the great reward of the game. At the same time, the inventory is pretty cool. It would also be nice to have new scenarios instead of just changing the background colors in future updates. A good game to spend time killing hordes of enemies, but it’s a very short game, but it’s worth it.

Real player with 13.4 hrs in game

Addictive, absolutely replay-able. The game features beautifully detailing pixel artwork, a tasty little variety of threats/monsters, each with different stats, a bonus of two spells on top of the traditional attack which adds a nice variety, and can prove necessary in its frustratingly challenging and incredibly fun gameplay. It has more than just the base game, but three additional trials/waves, which I definitely love. The game’s simple and well-fleshed-out mechanics are so much fun that just one mode isn’t enough to satisfy how much I want to keep playing the game, having the alternative wave modes available gives more room to stretch out and really play with this design of gaming experience. Also, there are upgrades, and they make an incredible difference; which is also very desirable as it’s incredibly easy to get bogged down under the waves with only the base stats. I really have nothing but good things to say about this game, and it’s only $0.99 at full price, which is unbelievable for a game this well designed. I absolutely loved playing The Last King’s Archer and would recommend it to anyone with a fondness for minigames, arcade games, flash games or sidescrollers. It’s just… it’s brilliant, addictive and incredibly fun.

Participating in the closed test was such a great experience,

now I’m trying to improve my score!

Real player with 197.0 hrs in game

Amazing!

I participated in the closed tests and it really is a game for those who enjoy challenges and strong emotions …

Not taking the save and dying … makes you think “Why, why didn’t I go to get the save first?”

The team is to be congratulated, the game was thought of details, paying attention to the paths, sounds and details of the environment really helps to prevent traps.

I took several scares … rsss

Very cool!

Congratulations!
