Chimpology
Chimpology is a retro pixel button mashing game where you must hit the keys corresponding to “1” and “0” in sequence. Get the numbers right and you can progress. Enough mistakes and you lose. For some reason they decided that despite having “0” and “1” keys on your keyboard, they should be “z” and “m” because apparently these guys never saw a keyboard before.
There’s no other gameplay to speak of here. Graphics are ugly. The developers seem to have put more effort into explaining why their terrible game works the way it does (chimpanzees or something) than actually developing a game people might enjoy. Totally not worth $3.

Beat Defender
My review may be biased due to my connection with the creator, however I feel confident saying that this game has the potential to become a great and very popular rhythm game. The premise is simple, and the game is quite simple to start learning. Personally I think the learning curve for the first few levels is just about right, requiring a bit of time to learn the basics, and to polish until the final level. Overall I would recommend the game to people that are looking for a new and interesting rhythm game, and especially so if the game continues to be developed.

Gaem gaem GAEMING!
The game follows a silent protagonist with no known name or history who slashes threats who try and invade homeless camps in the city. Other than that, the game has no real story (though I imagine that a story might be implemented later on.)
The game’s hybrid of rhythm and hack n slash makes the experience unique and enjoyable. However, there are times where the game felt cheap as there was a stun that didn’t allow me to move to another part of the map.
As for the final boss, he is 100% supa sick. However some of his indicators could be more visible as it took me a sew tries to understand what I was supposed to do.

Nocturne: Prelude
I rather enjoyed this game, for many reasons, and would recommend it to anyone who would enjoy the following:
-The character you play as, while it is a set character, is very androgynous, allowing you to play as any gender you want. You can also change the name of your character to whatever you want.
-The setup of the game (there’s a main storyline, but free exploration is encouraged), art, and catchy music reminded me of Legends of Zelda: A Link to the Past, which was a wonderful game.
-It’s free!

I have never played a single rhythm game before, so I review this as an absolute beginner.
- Gameplay
The easy mode is perfectly suited for those who’ve never played a rhythm game before. It’s pretty standard rhythm gameplay with some rpg elements mixed in to spruce it up a bit. I really like the fact that if you’re struggling with a fight, you can look around to see if there’s some better equipment laying around.
There’s random encounters which I’m usually not a big fan of, but it makes sense for an RPG. These random encounters though are great because they let you, you know, play the rhythm part of the game!
