Astrodogs

Astrodogs

TL;DR : Never played a StarFox game, but this goofy, chill little dog game makes me want to.

What is this funny little dog shooty game?

Astrodogs is a 3D, forward moving, on-rails shooter with enough charm to change your attitude for the entire day. The game revolves around 8 or so small stages with unique aesthetics, designs, music, enemies and bosses. (My personal favourites are Barkstille and Barkadia.)

I’ve never played something like this before, is it difficult?

At first, yes. But if you keep at it, you’ll learn the levels, you’ll learn the 5 techniques you need to know (4 different “special” attacks and a bullet-time mechanic). The bosses all have a gimmick to them which at first, is SUPER annoying, because you’ll be tanking damage and dealing none, but you’ll figure it out and feel like even Einstein is no match for your superior intellect.

As a die hard fan of Star-Fox. There hasnt been any games to come out that capture the on rails space shooting magic. This game does! I love the levels, music, controls and overall humour. A real treat!

MISKATONIC is a Free VR game. It worked on my HTC Vive system, played ?, sounded ok, looked ok. It needs more room in your playspace than it requires, button required to start playing is a reach too far. Has a tutorial room, with instructions but I don’t know how to pronounce the words used for the 3 spells. Reads like the 3 spells are audio activated. Supposed to be a wave defense game where you can blast flying demons, use a shield to protect yourself and make stuff levitate. You are rooted standing to a point on floor, and yeah it is for midgets, so you are looking at inside your body if you are tall.

I mean I kind of am the developer of the game. This is my game lmao.

Actually this turned out pretty good and at the time of writing it’s just v1.0 with none of the extra updates I’m planning.

Anyways I’m gonna get back to work. See ya!

Cowboys n' Stuff

Nice little game.

I have already found some levels challenging and needed to replay the first levels to build up enough coins to buy better stuff for the harder levels. That is just level 3 on the first campaign when you meet the bigger zombies that take a lot more bullets to kill and you do not have that many. My advice is save your bullets for the big guys and melee the little guys. Like i say challenging especially when you get frustratingly close to the end of the wave. It might be that i am just bad at the game. I am sure i will get better I have only played 1.6 hours though :)

Great Game! I like the sound effects too! I find it quite challenging but lots of fun! I ran out of bullets quite quick the first time I played, so had to restart but got the hang of it. The shop is good for buying new items. Overall a fab game and looking forward to updates in the future!

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.

I really enjoyed this game. It is fun and becomes fast paced as you play. I would recommend playing.

Sucks. Crashed, and refused to close. Also, this game is vastly worse than it presents itself. You gotta click the viruses that spin and fly at you like missiles. And the anti bodies don’t do nearly enough, even upgrades. Over all, horrible game.

One Pixel TWB

One Pixel TWB

2D platform game with minimalist graphics in Pixel art, your goal is to climb the castle while defeating various bosses that try to prevent your passage. With each floor you pass the game will present you with increasingly difficult bosses to defeat, add this to dialogs that portray the history of this universe and an extremely difficult difficulty for the vast majority of people.

To defeat these bosses you have the following abilities:

  • Create Platforms Underneath You.

  • Shoot.

  • Dash.

  • Jump and Duck

  • 2d Movement.

The graphics of the game has a focus mostly on the colors black, white, grayscale and red, in some parts of the game other colors may appear but are almost null.

During the game you follow the point of view of the White Pixel who is having his city attacked, you as a good emperor must stop the enemy and if you have a thirst for knowledge can try to find out what caused all this chaos.

One Pixel The War Begins is our second game presenting this very interesting universe of Pixels, unlike its older brother this game has a much wider variety of Phases, mechanics, Enhancements, Characters and more.

Also the soundtrack of the game is absolutely original of us.

Teodoro and the Evil Machines

Teodoro and the Evil Machines

WHAT IS TEODORO AND THE EVIL MACHINES?

It is an action shoot-em-up, shmup “or schump” type game but with a visual style, history and difficulty adapted for kids with these features:

History

TEODORO’s home lived in peace, tranquility and harmony in a perfect balance using the magic and vital energy that emanated from that land.

But one day a door opened from which some very aggressive monsters emerged with horrendous machines that destroyed everything. They installed gadgets to take the vital energy of everything that lived to feed their machines of war and to go to other worlds to continue with their pillages.

TEODORO returned from his adventure and saw all that: “Help us Teodoro” said the sages, “You are the only one who can save the universe from these monsters”.

But TEODORO needs your help! Do you dare to try it?

Game modes

EASY MODE: Designed 100% for inexperienced players to remove frustration and allow training reflexes and abilities.

MIDDLE MODE: Access to all screens in the game on a slightly more difficult difficulty than the simplest mode.

HARD MODE: For more experienced players designed as a more difficult challenge.

Mage World - The Wizard’s Stone

Mage World - The Wizard’s Stone

This game feels like a product of ambition from an emerging developer, and I’m all for it.

It’s a basic platformer where you collect coins to unlock other worlds and extra lives, as well as new spells upon beating each world’s boss. I’m a fan of this, besides the fact that you really don’t need any other spell once you get Force Burst.

I played through all the levels available as of now, and it’s a pretty lengthy game for the price. That being said, it’s overall fairly easy, and a lot of the levels don’t have much that make them distinct from one another, but the levels in Episode 2 ramp up the difficulty considerably, and I found it pretty engaging, aside from a few somewhat frustrating jumps and enemy placements.
