Audio Infection
As a music enthusiast in general and as someone who loved playing games like AudioSurf, Beat Hazard & Swarmlake, I found this game appealing. I played without VR equipment, and that’s, besides using either the Oculus Rift or HTC Vive, perfectly possible!
The game offers a handful of visually pleasing areas where you start listening to (your own = possible) music, and try not to get infected; e.g. the lower your accuracy and/or level of mastery, the more damage you will take, and the more infected your audio gets = lower music levels, but the enemies and their battle sounds will then take over the place. So you’d better listen to some garbage music, or you will get annoyed if you fail at shooting ;properly!

Love the game so far, havent played it too much but its really fun to play. People might say at first its not a game they like, but its really fun to grind points and lvl up your weapons. Eventually you will have better weapons and then you will see difference in the game. I enjoyed my time playing and it also kind of calmed me down :o

SUPERVERSE
Playing Superverse is really awesome experience.
Whole universe against you, just like old retro games when we were saving world and universe from bad guys, those were good old times. What can one wish for more.
Excellent graphics and fluid gameplay is something that is typical for this game.
Tested on keyboard which can be playable but i recommend with Joypad. It is totally different experience.
Once you get used to controls it becomes very natural and easy to play even versus tougher opponents.

Have you ever played Gate88? How about Chicken Invaders? Imagine Gate88 space mechanics and controls where you are floating and you can power up your weapons in Chicken Invaders style and just enjoy nice space scenery?
SUPERVERSE will give you all that and more. Although it is an early access game, it is offering interesting content. You are a small space vessel and you roam around different universes and upgrade weapons, Chicken Invaders style where more is better, enjoy the scenery and destroy enemy vessels.

Photosensitive seizure warning
Thunderstorm levels have lightning flashes in the sky.
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while playing video games.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any symptoms.

Check out this awesome retro shooter. Apparently most people have been completing it in 2-3 hours but I’m 3 hours in and only 1/2-2/3 through the game. Gameplay is simple but a little unusual (in a good way). Really have a lot of fun with it!
The best way I can describe this is as a “top down metroidvania” with bullet hell elements. Exploring is as fun as clearing rooms. Retro graphics are simplistic but well done. Challenging and very fun.

Note:
After the SGF summer contest I realized that I’m a dinosaur, over 900 demos. .. the window of time for me to make a sustainable living from indie game development has closed.
I’m going to return to driving a semi-truck.
If lightning strikes and people give a hoot, I will finish the game.
Solo Royale
Its an awesome game. Andrew has some really innovative ideas that I don’t think the video game industry is ready for yet. For example, in the sun temple expansion pack, there is a sun temple. Its wild, the map is so good my computer almost can’t run it. It’s near unplayable, but I think this is a commentary on the reality of war and the perpetual imperialism of the modern day US military industrial complex. These thoughts were formed only on the sun temple game mode, I couldn’t even begin to articulate the experience that the mini battle royale and battle royale gamemodes are. The gulag also transcendes human language.

Dawn of Light
Other players posted that mouse issue was resolved. I returned to try the game out again. I will switch my review to recommend while I try the rest of the game.
Original post:
I really wanted to play this but… Mouse only looks left and right.
Loaded Quake 2 to test. Worked fine…

This is a fairly short, but fun game. Perhaps the two critiques that might help people are: First, is that you have to tap twice on save game before it does anything, and then a 3rd to actually type a name in, before you can even start the game. This should only have been 1 tap. The second tip is that the game defaults to a Azerty keyboard. You will want to go to options and change it over to QWERTY if you want to use the standard WASD movement controls.

EDIT: This review is already very long, so I will post a video. However, the developer fixed almost all of the issues within a couple of days of my original post. THANK YOU! I changed my mind about recommending this game after seeing the developer’s diligence. I think there is a little ways to go still but this is definitely going to be a great game!
ORIGINAL:
There is a lot of potential for this game and I want to like it but I think it needs some more development. However, there is one major issue that would make this playable beyond 30 consecutive minutes for me: the player character sticks to everything in the environment. This means that there are about five times the usual amount of keystrokes required to navigate through the town.

It’s a cool game. If you’ve seen The Walking Dead - just like Rick you wake up and don’t know what’s going on. You discover you’re in a post-apocalyptic and there’s a zombie apocalypse going on.
You can walk through the town and find items like guns, money, and quest items. And meanwhile it gets increasingly more difficult with stronger and stronger waves of zombies spawning every couple of minutes that you have to survive as well.
There’s a variety of zombies attaching you, like some sprinting zombies, rotting ones, exploding ones, and massive “boss zombies” with armor and stuff. The other characters in game are fun too, including the random catchphrases your own character has
