Silicomrades
Grab your local friend or via Steam Remote Play, build your robots with unique abilities, and prepare yourself for shoot-up with evil robotic armies. All that while receiving (more or less) severe, enraging (or just funny) defects in 10+ original episodes, all packed with stunning hand-drawn visuals. Fall apart but do not fall back!
TWO ROBOT BUDDIES
Crawlbot and Jetbot are different in terms of playstyle and customization options, but they complement each other. Despite being from low-quality materials and prone to malfunctions.
BUILD THEM UP…
Assemble your very own robots from various bonus parts, choose more faulty parts to build a more powerful but more unstable robot. Get additional moving directions, bigger magazine or active reload ability.
…AND WATCH THEM FALL APART
All bonuses need to be balanced out with faulty parts in a unique “High risk - High reward” customization. Once your robot is damaged enough, it will start to malfunction. Be prepared for various defects such as friendly fire, nonstop movement, or reloading a random number of bullets.
VARIABLE HAND-DRAWN ENEMIES AND ENVIRONMENTS
Play through 7+ episodes, each consisting of three missions designed to be played in one sitting forming a short story. In every one of them, meet different enemies and experience variable beautiful environments, all created and animated by hand.
COMEDIC TOTALITY
We have chosen the most boring theme on the planet Earth, added robots, turned it upside down, and took it to an absurd extreme, thus forming the brand new genre of comedic totality. Your enemies are vicious, tireless, and armed with suitcases. They stop at nothing to reach their sinister goal. Except for the lunch break, there is no way they are going to miss that.
SEE YOU ON OUR DISCORD CHANNEL!
JOIN THE RESISTANCE NOW, BECOME A SILICOMRADE, AND HELP SAVE INNOCENT LOW-COST ROBOTS!

Awsome arcade classics, on rails shooters. Had the first one on mobile and glad they are both on steam now,but just a bit of a shame they have not been updated with better graphics or remastered.
But if you like arcade games and on rails shooters, then you should love this.
Oh, and the soundtrack is cool to. 😊

STELLATUM
Good game, I very much enjoyed it.
As I see some reviews, I feel I should write something that ‘overcomes’ them all - well, I cant do that. But… This is finished game, balanced and polished. Long enough - maybe 14 hours to end story mode. Some levels are harder than others, not overwhelming, so game difficulty (adjustable: easy, normal, hard)is fine.
It brought me memories of Xenon II Megablast - my favorite shmup of all time - you have to even collect little balls from dead enemies, except story mode can’t be played through on one session (thankfully) and the music is not as good and…

I actually do recommend Stellatum, but it comes with an awfully long list of qualifiers to that and a lot of issues, so this is marked not recommended for those who are looking for the problems with the game as there may very well be dealbreakers in here for you. I could not in good conscience recommend it to just anyone who likes space shooters. If you don’t mind the things I’m about to mention though, then I can fully recommend it.
So first off, other negative reviews have stated that the component parts you need to craft items are really random. This is true, you will often be missing key pieces. As you get into later levels, more pieces drop, but more are needed, so this doesn’t help much. Fortunately, there is also a universal item drop that every enemy drops which lets you craft any component part you need. This isn’t mentioned anywhere in the tutorial and it’s not especially obvious on the crafting screen you can do this, but it means playing through each level once will typically give you enough parts to build anything you need, but you may need to craft specific parts at times.

Finders Reapers
Total surprise hit out of nowhere
Yesterday morning i’d never even heard of this game. Today, i’m addicted and considering seeking professional help
– Real player with 21.6 hrs in game
You know what? This is actually pretty awesome.
Thought I’d take a gamble on it since it’s cheap and it hasn’t disappointed.
I’ve never played anything like it.
You collect for items to get cash while spending cash as ammo! Crazy!
Not a finished game by any means, but it’s early access so fair enough.
Rough and ready (as they state) but I’d highly recommend it.
Hyped for the updates - interested to see where this goes.

Quasar
As species.
We always needed a story to believe in
We need a hero to prevail
We need a challenge we can overcome
We need a tragedy to make us one
In the year 2056, the land was facing various problems with overpopulation and hunger.
Technology has evolved in a way that our civilization has already reached the stars, but despite having evolved a lot, we still lacks an energy base that would allow humanity to reach a new level of evolution, as well as being able to explore other solar systems.
The Great Pickle Adventure
I recommend this game to anyone that likes simple platformers or pickles. It has its quirks and bugs but it is a simple game that you can play when you have a free minute.

It reminded me of the simiplier times. the times in which I spent my days with the one i deemed “the fated one” but alas….nothing is eternal…nor was our love…I miss her you know? I really do…she was…really special…10/10 game, i like the graphics

Cookie Invaders
Its a fun goofy little game.
There are several issues with it at the moment, personally i belief that they can be fixed.
The biggest problem right now is the inability to rotate your ship in the aimed direction.
Some mana and health regeneration values are scuffed in the early game, just to weak or to strong. Normal balance problems for a game.
All in all you can have quite a lot of fun in this game. Its not finished though and its noticeable.
I marked my review as “i received this game for free” since i know the developer and am probably biased. (I did pay for it)
– Real player with 7.0 hrs in game
If you’re a fan of shooters and looking for something a little different, check out @Cookie_Invaders. It’s surprisingly slow-paced but the combat is still absolutely frantic. It all comes down to how you level up your ship and whether you want to tank, shoot, or brawl.
Cookie Invaders is surprising in that it’s a slow-paced but hectic shooter. Gameplay revolves around upgrade mechanics which let you change your approach to the game every run, keeping it fresh.

ENG
Alright, so you found this game in the Free Games section or maybe you came knowing it’s a new game by mighty XWILKINX. As a person who played the game since its very launch, first on the Web-version, then on the itch.io version, and then here, I’m here to reroute your journey elsewhere, as you most likely won’t find what you’re looking for - a game you can play and enjoy. This review is focused on multiplayer, as IMHO singleplayer is extremely boring.
Let’s start with the positives tho, as game actually sports a couple of them:

–-What you are initially reading was written before 1st prestige, further down (indicated by obvious line) are things added after the initial review and will likely be updated as my play time goes up—
Having played BRAIN/OUT, another 2D shooter very similar to this for countless hours, honestly I think this game is way better than B/O in a lot of ways. This game is what B/O could’ve been had it not been neglected and tried to be every single popular trend in the gaming industry to stay relevant. It really is a shame how B/O ended up in its current and most likely unrecoverable state. But enough of B/O’s current state. Lets look at the positives of WHY this game is B/O but IMO better.
