Guinea Pig Parkour
Guinea Pig Parkour is a completely hand-drawn 2D platformer with adventure elements, drawing heavy inspiration from ’90s animated cartoons and games. It is animated and developed completely by one artist, Jeff Mumm, and features music and SFX by Fat Bard.
Run, jump, swing, flip, vault, climb, crawl, and parkour through classic platformer inspired levels. Talk to, interact with, help, and annoy a host of funny characters as you progress through a “lost ’90s cartoon episode.”
Each animation in Guinea Pig Parkour is completely hand-drawn, frame-by-frame at 24 frames per second - every single frame a different drawing - to capture the full, fluid quality of traditional animation.

Plenty of bang, not much story!
Tiny Bang Story makes it pretty clear from the start that it is a puzzle game, as the world itself is shattered into a jigsaw puzzle. What we get winds up being a bit of a mixture of all kinds of puzzle games that really aren’t bad, but really aren’t much of a challenge.
The execution of the hidden objects part of this game varies quite a lot between really easy and a bit cheesy. A barely visible outline of a puzzle piece is hidden like a speck in a busy background, feeling cheap and artificially difficult. Most of the rest of what you will find stands out enough that you won’t miss them, but in some cases will want to remember where you’d seen them.

Election Year Knockout
A really fun Punch-Out style game, featuring funny parodies of US politicians (Crenshaw being one of my favourites and you’ll see why). Each opponent has their own gimmick that’s fun to figure out, and are all satisfying to beat up. There’s no deep political commentary or anything, just parodies mocking US politicians, much like how the Punch-Out games mocked stereotypes of different nationalities and cultures. The EX boxers are all fun, souped-up rematches against the fighters, serving as a really nice bonus newgame+ for after you’ve done everything else. Much like the Title Defence fights in Punch-Out Wii, these are much harder than the original fights and offer a huge variety of newer, more devastating attacks for each rematch that the player will have to learn and adapt to. The challenges in each fight help boost the game’s replayability, there’s 10 for every fighter in the game (5 for normal and 5 for EX) and they can be tough to figure out, but extremely satisfying once you’ve got them all. The roster is quite limited, however the devs have considered adding more boxers if the game gets enough traction (personally I’m hoping for Bojo to get in). I’d definitely recommend if you’re a fan of Punch-Out or if you just like taking the piss out of US politics.

Not one hundred percent flushed out and people who want to complete everything will be frustrated at some mission because you have no clue why something did not count. But for the most part and the main gameplay, this is just gorgeus. plays nice and funny. long and hard at the later fights until you know what you are doing

Kazakh Drive
This is an endurance racer: You have to drive for an hour or so without crashing to pass the first task. The apparent best strategy is pretty mindless: drive on the shoulder, keep your wipers on all the time, and spray fluid when the windshield gets dusty. The oncoming traffic lane is way too risky to use because you can’t usually see if it’s clear.
I do want to like this game, and certain improvements could make me recommend it:
1. controller support
2. some kind of meaningful decision to make while driving. There needs to be some reason I shouldn’t just drive on the shoulder to pass.

This is one of the best games here on Steam. Scenario, game play - everything is just great. A lot of possibilities to discover, I’ve just started the game, but I already decided to spend the entire weekend playing Kazakh Drive for the sake of Uncle Eldos. You know, boards can’t bring themselves on their own.
Best regards and ALGA

31st prototype
Though the game was really short, I really appreciated playing it. The story, the puzzles and the art were really great and entertaining. I was invested in it and it was really fun.
The downsides were the wonky translations and the fact that I had a hard time to click into certain places (which was a minor issue) but besides that, it was all good!

Gabriels Worlds The Adventure
E aí pessoal vou falar um pouco aqui do achei do jogo não vou falar tudo, mas vou colocar o link da gameplay e análise do jogo aqui embaixo. O jogo é muito interessante ele possui um carisma muito grande por causa do personagem e da narrativa e um gameplay dinâmico o que contrabalança o fato do jogo ser um típico jogo de plataforma 2D. O jogo ainda está em desenvolvimento então é certo que o jogo tende a melhor ainda mais.

Cruel Bands Career
Impressive game, and addictive! Full of incredible detail, it has a really charming dark / fun aesthetic & it’s not easy to master, believe me. Rewards repeat plays. Really worth it for the price.

Cool simple game.
Gameplay is not as easy as you think, you get only 3 lives to get as far as you can, and every time one of your band members “die” you have to start the stage over, game also requires fast reaction and strategic thinking since everything happens in real time.
Art is nice and tasteful, performance is as good as it gets, translation is ok.
