Couplinked
This game is a refreshing take on simple and engaging arcade style controls and game play. Just when you think you are getting the hang of things each level and tier challenges you and makes you rethink how to play the game. The music is super chill and a great track to listen to at the end of a stressful day. Six hours into the game, currently the only feedback I have is I wish they would allow changes to the colors of the nodes and the electricity.

Couplinked is a simple game, and for the cost of entry, the replay-ability is high.
Goal is simple, you control two circles simultaneously while matching them by colour as well as avoiding obstacles. Controls at first will definitely be confusing, but with a bit of practice there is a certain satisfaction in matching nodes consistently at a real quick rate.
Definitely not for the faint of heart, as it does get increasingly difficult. My experience with puzzle games come from things like Catherine and Puyo Puyo Tetris, and they can be very frustrating to those uninitiated.

NERVE
As an avid Thumper player, this game checks all of my boxes.
-dark atmosphere
-killer soundtrack, heavy drums
-high speed, high intensity
-high skill ceiling
The game makes use of all of its mechanics, all of the time. So even though you are encouraged to go fast, there are points where you can’t always be turbo-ing. USE THE BRAKES!
Solid game, and I’m only on world 4. 10/10
EDIT:
After completing the game, I have to recommend it even more.
And the devs are receptive to feedback and are improving the game! There were several unfun issues with a few objects and hitboxes, which have been patched, making this an even better speed game.

Плюсы и не только:
Игра мне понравилась. Прикольная графика и довольно хороший саундтрэк. Проходиться за часов 9 - 15, боссы прикольные и в почти каждой локации свои механики. Достижения получить довольно легко кроме трех последних, там нужно еще найти зону в которой это можно сделать (а их там 100+). А также есть режим от первого лица.
Минусы:
Сюжет - 2 предложения в начале и конце. (да, я знаю что игра не про сюжет, не бейте)
Хитбоксы - иногда можно задеть что-то и не умереть или не сбросить ‘дрон замедления’.

First impression: wow I dig the artstyle and music.
Then comes the “story” text that makes up a story about why the protagonist has to go to the end of the stages, the moment after it tells you that it says “what are you waiting for, no seriously there is no story the whole point of this game is to make you rage”… Sigh. Those are contradicting sentences and it’s not generally a good idea to tell your consumers that the point of your game is to make them rage when you pay for a video game.
So I go about the first 5 level and think alright this game has a few things that could be improved upon but so far it’s good enough for what I paid (got it in a bundle) then comes level 6 of world 1 and they introduce a pink line. The goal of the game is to gravity shift through obstacles and this pink line acts as a floor or ceilling depending on where you shift from. The thing is that you have to press up or down again on the line and it would have made sense to just pass through once you input that command but instead, you just flip on it and have to press it again to pass through. That is a design flaw in my oppinion because after like 5 minute of gameplay you changed the rules where I had to input 1 command to dodge and incomming obstacle (well from 0 to 1) and made it that it became 0-3 commands per obstacle. In a runner, this is too much information that has to be made every 2 seconds and makes the game unplayable, I would have to do the whole stage per section while dying endlessly to learn the layout of the stage and execute the commands accordingly. And that is within 5 minute of gameplay, if it would be the last mechanic to learn it would have been fair but the second mechanic? Nah. There is plenty of better game in the genre, that doesn’t use unfair or poorly designed mechanics to “make you rage”. Save your money.

Tybot Invasion: The Typing Runner
Simple, clean, fun and challenging game! It’s also very didactic, not only for approaching typing skills in a really ludic and laidback way, but also for offering the opportunity to learn and fix English vocabulary. Very addictive, just like all the other games from Sensen, making every run exciting with the right touch of difficulty. Every new game is a good surprise for me. Keep it up, guys! (:

The best key response this typing game can give to you.
Graphic: Not gorgeous but cool.
Game: Neat & Crispy.
Many typing games stayed a while and got uninstalled from my PC.
but I think this one will somehow survive.
Not gorgeous but good.

The game is challenging but really fun once you understanding the core mechanic! That’s a solid typing game! The graphics and sound effect are on point! Recommended!

Another great typing game from Sensen Games. Really simple, but with a good soundtrack and design. A couple of hours of great entertainment, totally worth the price!

Boson X
I started playing this game a little over two years ago after somebody mentioned it in the comments section of a Super Hexagon video on YouTube, saying something to the effect of “If you think this game is hard, then you should try Boson X!” Having been looking for a new game to try out, I decided I might as well buy it and see what the game was all about.
Boson X quickly became my favorite game to play during downtime, such as before leaving for school or waiting to go someplace. I could play it while I was talking to friends online, while listening to music, or if I just needed to get my mind off of something, I could open the game and collide particles until I felt better.

Boson X. An fast-paced indie platformer that requires a lot of memorization of patterns to get you through.
It seems that the objective is to help two (or three if you consider a robot one) scientists discover three particles by traveling through some visual starfield. The goal is to run along blue platforms that emerge from the endless void around you, building up enough energy to spark a particle. This task, as you progress, isn’t as easy as it seems as newer stages bring forth new obstacles, may it be moving white flats, fragile red flats, thick walls, and even rings that emit electric currents. All this game really needs is mind power and complete concentration.
