Moon Hunters
Moonhunters
Moonhunters is an isometric action role-playing game that can be played with up to four people. There are several different characters to pick from with a limited amount of abilities that become more diverse as you progress through a session. The game itself is set in five different worlds, adorned with pixel graphics.
Your Progression
Moonhunters features a central hub whereby a collection of everything you have unlocked in single and multiplayer games is compiled. These are scenarios whereby you triggered certain events or met specific bosses. The idea of the game is to collect all of these trophies and fill up your hub. It is important to note that this is an extremely repetitive grind whereby you meet the majority of the same content over and over again. to put it into perspective; this is a game whereby it is impossible to unlock everything through skill but rather luck and figuring out which conversations lead to certain triggers. This, in turn, means that a lot of your time will be spent searching the wiki on how to get specific unlocks and then attempting to recreate these scenarios.

Let me explain this rating: I would recommend the experience of MH, not the game itself.
The value of MH is learning from its mistakes of trying to develop a narrative through mechanics. As someone who likes rogue-lite games yet craves for more storytelling, the idea of uncovering/shaping the story through replay-value is a novelty I can admire.
It’s no masterpiece nor a new benchmark for rogue-lites; it’s something of a failed experiment. That’s how I’d explain my apprecation for the game.

Moondrop Mountain
My wife absolutely loves farm sim games. She plays them until the cows come home. But after spending hundreds of hours in-game, she runs out of content. This game is my love letter to her - an attempt to create a farming game that doesn’t grow stale.
I’ve tried to do that by mashing up the farm sim genre with one of gaming’s old-school genres, the roguelike. Every game will be different, depending on what perks and potions you discover. Choose a different build and learn a different playstyle. Will you be a master miner, excavating for gems in the depths? Will you be a shepherd, keeping watch over your flocks? Perhaps an alchemist, using arcane lore to help plants grow stronger. The mountain trail is full of puzzles to solve and mysteries to discover, and the procedural generation of puzzles means that you’ll never solve the same puzzle twice.
Features:
– A unique plant growth system based on the power of friendship.
– A randomized potion system - potions start off unknown (and potentially dangerous) until they are used.
– Explore the mountain trail, which offers treasure and distractions in equal measure.
– Unlockable perks, potions, seeds, blueprints, recipes, costumes, music, UI skins, house additions, statues, and pets.
– Run-based gameplay - explore a different build each time you play.
– Zero marriage candidates. The main character is based on my wife, and she doesn’t mess around.

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.

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.

Firekeep
Firekeep is a minimalist, relaxing strategy game about building a tiny, sustainable city in the cold void of space. Build, combine and upgrade dozens of unique buildings to overcome procedurally-generated islands and keep your fire burning. Enjoy a relaxing yet strategically deep experience where a single run can be completed quickly, but new islands and new building combinations will keep you starting new runs over and over again!
Firekeep is all about making the most of your limited space. Each tile can support one building, and each building produces and requires different resources. Once a building has access to all the resources it needs, it upgrades into a new building that produces new, additional resources. The catch? Buildings can only send and receive resources to and from the tiles right next to them. Plus, buildings that spend too long without any connections, or that have their environment compromised, will become ruins, leading to potentially disastrous chain reactions!
Firekeep contains over 50 unique buildings for players to discover on their quest to build the central beacon, plus special projects that will change the very fabric of your island. That said, the game is currently in a very early state, so feel free to send bugs to us on Twitter, or follow for news and updates!
Geometry Arena
I’ll break this game up into a few sections. Those sections will be gameplay, proggression, and then specifics like graphics and sound design.
First off, the gameplay is pretty good for this title. I’ve played dozens of roguelikes from Hades to Nova Drift, and this game is up there in the quality of its mechanical execution. It’s not groundbreaking, as Nova Drift is a more polished experience overall, but this game compensates with its higher overall variety. That’s because this game incorporates 3 different systems for shaking up the gameplay - colors, roles, and skills.

Yamafuda! 2nd station
This is probably the most relaxing card game I’ve ever played. Just chill out and hike up some mountains with your friend while listening to some comfy music.
As a card game, the mechanics aren’t too deep or combo/synergy heavy but that’s part of the charm. You’re intended to take it easy and carefully hike your way up the mountain rather than cycle your deck twenty times and clear it in one turn. You don’t fight waves of enemies, instead each mountain is like one long endurance battle with some breaks here and there.

As many small games it’s a bit rough around the edges, but the rest makes up for it. First few mountains look simple, as if the cards/items don’t matter. A bit later you’ll need both luck and strategy to reach the summit.
Most importantly, although I’m not quite sure how punching a buff dog is a metaphor for climbing a mountain, in terms of theme and aesthetic this game is still feels incredibly refreshing and creative compared to the typical card games.
I’m also really grateful that the developer took time and effort to translate the game to English.

A very beautiful pixel platformer with a very cool style and an excellent soundtrack. The plot is also very interesting, the game is worth playing for its cool atmosphere. I advise everyone to play a very interesting game.

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 :)

Don’t Cut Your Hand 2
Its not a bad game. Its actually pretty fun. Some things could be explained better, like right-clicking on a plate to remove items. Also, theres a couple bugs. One of them makes it impossible to beat the game because it won’t give you the right ingredient to finish a recipe. Overall, I feel like I had enough fun for my $2.
