Lucid Steam
This game is currently a bit rough around the edges, but with a bit of polishing could end up really great!
Right now though, it could use more tooltips to help people understand what’s going on and what effects what.

Your Show Has Been Cancelled
This game just keeps going. At least as much content after “finishing” the game as before. Really well put together 3!

I was not expecting to wholeheartedly enjoy this game as much as I did. From the amazing soundtrack to the laugh-out-loud humor (not even joking) to the real sense of growth in power as you progress, this game will remain near the top of my list for indie games for years. Best of all, you can feel the passion from the creator with every line of dialogue.
If the price is a bit daunting for you, I’d definitely recommend it on sale.
Overall I’d give this game a 8.5/10 - a game I would highly recommend, and I hope to see more from this developer in the future.

A Night Before the Deadline
This game was more than I was expecting. The atmosphere from the audio in game puts you on edge, the “story” (though I called it early) was something new (although very short). Took roughly 25 minutes to 100%. While the walking is rough and awkward at times, the sprint is bae.
Overall, it was very short, but definitely made me feel uncomfortable with the atmosphere. The mini games were different, and it felt like a good start to something!

A Night Before the Deadline
Enjoyable for the short time on offer, with just enough variety to keep it interesting. The controls are terrible and the searching is a little tedious. I’d maybe recommend it in a sale.
A Night Before the Deadline is an adventure game set in the IT department of an office block. The deadline for an important piece of software is due for completion tomorrow, and Joe must stay late to complete the work.

Catch a Duck
Simple but tactful game of mouse and cat chase puzzles.
Requires some quick thinking, good reflexes and patience.
Cheesy voice acts.
Clunky controls and very sensitivity at times around ‘corners’.
Eating number of ducks achievements, required to be ‘in one single game session’.
Was decent.
– Real player with 5.2 hrs in game
Catch a Duck is a cute little action-arcade game with 25 levels and 5 bonus levels, offering a couple hours of gameplay. The graphics, music, and SFX are appropriately stylised and consistent throughout, and it does achieve a feeling of being a sly fox: chasing down rabbits into dead end passages; luring wolves and bears into traps; tricking hunters into shooting at each other.
Unfortunately, the game is also very flawed: mostly in minor ways that are needlessly annoying or confusing. For example, you can’t navigate the menus using a mouse. That seems like an oversight.

Duskers
If anybody can hear me, please respond.
_I am a sole survivor of the liberty, a long range scout ship on a mission to discover the cause of a spacial anomaly on the edge of this system. My crew is missing and had to re-purpose some drones to make repairs.
Everything that could go wrong has, I have limited fuel, limited resources and have had to resort to explore this sector to look for supplies.
Things turned from bad to worse when I realized that every ship and base I have discovered has turned up empty. No life, nobody. Nothing except some extra scrap and some upgrades I used to further my search._

So, you wanted to get scared. You wanted to play a horror game. Perhaps a survival rogue-like one? Forget your run-of-the-mill jump scare games, monsters, aliens and other nasties. Duskers will make you fear mere sounds of the ship you’ve docked at creaking, shudder at seeing flashing red doors and jump at simple beeps of your console.
The atmosphere of the game has to be applauded over and over. The graphical nature is simple yet complex. Simple in terms of the console view where you can see the location of your drones, the layout of the ship, the state of its doors and so on. This part is logically clean and very un-Hollywood like, where terminals will be more graphically impressive than any operating system yet look a fraction as useful. The console, coupled with the ambient rumbling of your ship’s engines as well as various blips and blops, will reinforce the feeling of isolation. The feeling that you are truly alone in the cold vastness of space, desperately trying to keep your aging ship and failing drones to keep going as you attempt to figure out just what has happened to everyone.

Spire of Sorcery
A party strategy with its very own style and identity.
The graphics are nice and well designed, and the music is great. Hopefully they add more of it later.
The interface feels like it was designed by a madman that completely ignored everything we know about mainstream gaming interfaces, and just branched it into its own evolutionary path. On the other hand, many games today have an interface that looks nearly identical, and here it’s finally different and fresh.
The spell and combat system is incredibly deep and flexible. You need to adapt your spells to your party, and figure out how to effectively combine them with potions and the environment, and even with other spells and effects. This game greatly rewards experimentation and exploration. There are many insane combinations to discover, and every party requires a different strategy and resource management. A murderhobo group plays very differently from a group that has a pacifist in it.

A game where you control only mages! If you are tired of extremely generic fighters who smell of sweaty socks and too much ale, and you are a cultured scholar who appreciates basking under arcane arts and good books, then this game might be for you :P That was the reason for me to try demo, then game’s uniqueness made me buy it and keep on journey.
Honestly, even the idea of “controlling only mages” is already so exciting and engaging to me. Now I know that this game is mostly strategy and all but there’s an attempt right here so I must interfere… story is not very infused with the game itself, I’d personally expect more passages that would drag me in. Don’t know what the devs are planning on release, but a good background story would be a huge game changer in my opinion. People who like magical powers tend to care about these, no? If there’s such plan (yes this is a big issue of indie developers but) adding just one voice actor who is going to narrate the story would be very pleasant.

The Great Hide n Seek Expawdition
The Great Hide n Seek Expawdition is chill hide and seek game with roguelite elements and local coop for little and big kids. Find all the animal babies that went hiding away in the forest. Play as a raccoon dad or a rabbit mum, explore the environments, find hidden treasures and bring everybody home.

ABOUT THE DEVELOPER
Hi there! I’m Mathias and I’ve been creating video games since I was a child. I love coding, playing music and drawing. So what’s better than creating a video game to do all of this at the same time? I do everything alone because I love every part of it and I’m a curious guy who likes to know how it works! I hope you’ll like it :)

CHILDHOOD GONE: SHADOWED WAND
Pretty good game. As soon as you start, it reminds you of an old gameboy RPG. The atmosphere reminds of old school Lavender Town from Pokemon, except with the creep factor dialed up. I recommend this to anyone interested in some eerie old school gameplay.

Flotilla
TL;DR: Great fun for the humor, visual style and tactical combat. Less satisfying for the fact that it’s game over after a set number of jumps and the core gameplay might get boring within a short span of time. If this game attracts your attention I would recommend waiting for a sale unless it really appeals to you.
Flotilla is going to be a hit-or-miss kind of game depending on your tastes, but I recommend it for its unique concept, satisfying core gameplay, and odd sense of humor.
Let’s start with the good points: It’s got a certain vibe and atmosphere that worked for me, both in terms of simplistic visual appeal and the tone of the events that you can encounter during each adventure. I admit that both the graphics and worldbuilding/humor aren’t for everyone.

Flotilla is a very fascinating take on space exploration. There is no saving, you are the captain, and you are stuck with a fatal disease that will take your life in a predetermine amount of turns. Flotilla offers a lot of real time choices that directly affects your fleet of ships. Some scenarios include saving a group of space-llamas and adding them to your fleet, or destroy them for ship upgrades. The combat is turn based and takes place on a 3D plane; you can command your ship to fly in any direction and fire at enemy ships. With tons of combat choices and flanking decisions your head might explode from strategizing, as a result I can’t recommend this game to strategy noobs. However, if you use to fight alongside Napoleon and George Washington back in the day, I highly recommend this game. Oh ya just play hardcore mode, in normal mode you just end up dead faster from your “disease”. There is virtually no difference in gameplay difficulty by playing in hardcore over normal.

FoxPaww: a furry breakout-lite adventure
I like this game; it’s furry and has different themes. I can recommend it. -^.^- UWU!

This game is tough at times, but it’s fun! I would say that it’s a mix between pinball and Pong. I did notice that sometimes I will jump to some other part of the map, I don’t know if that’s a mechanic that I’m not aware of or if it’s a bug. It’s the type of game that you learn it by playing it, and it’s really easy to pick up. This is a great game for all ages.
