Eversleep: Lunistice Gaiden
Before you buy, a little warning - this game was made in a self-imposed challenge to create a commercially viable game in only 30 days.
…Which didn’t quite work out! Turns out: 30 days is actually a really short amount of time to create a game that’s not only commercially viable, but also fun!
The goal was still to make a fun game in the end, with polished gameplay, but - you know - still expect some jank and not a TON of playtime!
Eversleep? More like Nosleepforthedeveloper, am I right, hahaha (help).
But what is Eversleep?
Now that’s a good question! Eversleep: Lunistice Gaiden is a 3D Platformer created with simple but fun gameplay and a cute PS1/SEGA Saturn inspired artstyle in mind. Take the role of Hana the Tanuki and jump and fight through her dreams! What secrets await her on the moon - her final destination?
Eversleep features a retro look heavily inspired by early 90s 3D graphics with bouncy enemies and a fluffy heroine.

How Eversleep came to life
Good. So you’ve made it this far in the text. We did not lose you, thank you!
Eversleep: Lunistice Gaiden was developed within 30 days as a challenge for A Grumpy Fox. For transparency’s sake: he is also working for the publisher of the game, Deck13.
Together we had this idea to provide as much data about the game’s development and release as possible: to support upcoming game developers and give interested players an insight about the development and marketing process. That means we are releasing sales numbers, discount strategies and valuable development and marketing info via Twitter and Medium. If you would like to support this approach and experiment, feel free to buy the game. And if you dislike it, feel free to make use of the refund system Steam offers. Every data helps making the process more transparent.

Refunct
6 hours of playtime out of a fifteen minute game (without speedrunning) , which is still going by the day.
This game has an fantastic momentum based movement system that makes getting around the map fun, almost so much so that it rivals Mirrors Edge and Titanfall 2 for how thrilling it is to control.
Just get it, it is so much fun just to chain together wall jump combos, slide out of every jump, and create your own path through everything. When you add the amazing atmosphere, music, day/night cycle, achievements, and stunning lighting and visuals then you get what is the main purpose of playing this game. But it doesn’t end there…

Intro
Refunct is a very refreshing and fluid experience. For such a short game, it was satisfying to play and was definitely worth the 1.50$ spent. It feels like thought and effort went into making it, and that immediately sets it apart the bad apples that comes through Greenlight.
–————————————————————
Presentation
Refunct is a 3D parcour platformer at the same time it has a relaxing, peaceful atmosphere.
Refunct immediately puts you into the game when you start it up. But that’s okay because the game doesn’t need to annoy you with any tutorial, the mechanics are easy to learn on your own.

Adventure Time: Magic Man’s Head Games
Keep in mind this is a $5 game. Very short, but showcases the advantages of VR in a third person platforming environment very well. It is very intuitive and clear to see where Finn and Jake are in relation to the world and hopping to and fro is intuitive. Quick to hop into and just as quick to finish, this ‘game’ feels more like a water testing product; to see how much interest there is for similar games in the future. The controls are nice and tight, but there are a couple things needing tweaks, such as tapping the ‘glide’ button will keep you in the air longer than holding it as intended. And after sever months of radio silence Achievements are still inoperable.

A Fun, Immersive, but Basic Experience
This game has some stunning visuals inspired by the artwork animation from the show, along with concise gameplay mechanics for the player to almost immediately get used to. The game has added immersion with your favourite characters from Adventure Time interacting with you. This experience is similar to the PSVR exclusive ‘Astro Bot Rescue Mission’; when you’re essentially playing your average 3D platformer; but just using a VR headset to look around. The game is also fully voice-acted by the shows' cast.

Polar Jump
well in the beginning i had no idea what to do but when i played for a bit more i figured it out because there is no guidance and when i beat the game and press ecs to see if i can turn off the trail there is a controls area to look at, its a decent short game to play

Cool experience! The game mechanics and physics are really easy to understand so you can have fun from the very begining. There are many ways to get to the objectives so it depends on your creativity and skill to get them. Is worth its price. :)

Klym
Really fun game, not difficult to play, but with a surprisingly high skill ceiling if you’re going for the 4 minute achievement.
– Real player with 2.5 hrs in game
Very enjoyable short game. If you just play through the main game, it shouldn’t take more than 20-30 minutes, but if you want to get all of the achievements, you can expect around an hour to 2 of playtime. There is one achievement for completing the game within 4 minutes that is quite hard, but definitely doable and worth some tries. I found the game a little frustrating at points, as sometimes something you think should be a small enough gap to climb isn’t, leading to a lot of dead ends and wasted time. Still great and a good purchase for the low cost. And it looks pretty.

Good story alone isn’t enough to make you cry
Papo&Yo is a puzzle platformer with a good good which sadly doen’t excecute first two aspect very good.
You play as the buy names Quico and must find a way how to deal with a serious which i’m not going to talk about because that’s the point the story. What i can say is that it’s pretty similar to Rime story-wise, but excecuted not as good as that game.
At first the puzzles seem fine, but after some time they get boring because the principle is the same and you usually need to repeat same actions again and again. There are good and fun puzzles, but maybe half of the puzzles are either frustrating or time wasting.

Cat Burglar: A Tail of Purrsuit
Sly Cooper Meets Toads Treasure Tracker
Just like in Sly Cooper you’ll be avoiding spotlights from above as well as the flashlights from the guards. While just like in Toads Treasure Tracker you’ll need some fancy camera work and angling to navigate your way through the platforming in these levels. Like a true master thief and cat burglar you’ll have to think three steps ahead while navigating watching the guards and lights patterns to map out the best routes to go through as well as a safe stopping point to plan again. If you don’t think it through and time it right then you’ll most likely just keep getting caught.

Cat Burglar: A Tail of Purrsuit is a good and an adorable adventure, 3D Platformer game, so the story. Kat the world’s best cat burglar has entered the highly secure doggo base, her mission to steal all their gems.
Now the likes. Well the game is very cute from the characters and to the little bit of story we have in the game. The game’s Graphics are pretty good and captures the feel of an old school platformer.
The music very good especially the music for the last level it has a nice spy feel to it. It was great that after completing the main game you can play two more games one being collecting Jewels under a certain amount of time, the other game collecting the Four Keys with a whole bunch of dogs in the area.

Tales of a Rabbit: The Story of Willie Hop
Pretty terrible game, as much as I hate to say it. The graphics are very simple which is totally fine and that’s not an issue at all. The biggest issue is the huge difficulty straight off the bat and the horrible, awful jumping momentum. Let me give some examples: When you jump while standing still and push a direction like forward, you have almost no momentum at all. This is a HUGE issue because if you want to jump over hazards like the spiked purple plants or whatever, you’re gonna land right on top of them if you don’t have enough momentum. However, if you have too much momentum, you’re just as much in trouble as with no momentum. This is because you have almost no control over your character in mid air. There’s also a big issue with getting flung around constantly if you don’t take your time. What I mean by this is that, for example, if you jump and accidentally bump your head against something like a roof of a house, you often get flung back and because of this, in my case, it pushed me RIGHT OFF THE STAGE multiple times. Keep in mind that I was not even pressing any directional buttons to move except for the jump key. The difficulty is absolutely insane. Now, I have nothing against challenging and difficult games but this game takes it WAY too far in my opinion. Like I said, you’re introduced to extreme difficulty right in the first stage. A great example is you have to travel across excruciatingly narrow platforms that are slimmer and smaller than a straw. On top of that, there are spiked plants EVERYWHERE on these narrow platforms. As for the really narrow platforms, I don’t know if this is a graphics issue on my end but I’m pretty sure it isn’t. I think it could be intentional but either way, the difficulty still stands, regardless of graphical issues or not. Another really bad thing is that if you get hit, you get chucked backwards or sideways, often making you fall to your death and losing a life, especially on those super narrow platforms. There’s also no breathing room/no few seconds of invincibility. Nope. If you get hit and get knocked back into another hazard, you take damage immediately. All this insane difficulty made me quit after really trying my best on the FIRST STAGE. I just kept dying and dying, over and over again. If you lose all your lives, you lose all your progress and you get warped back all the way to the beginning of the stage. At the time of writing this review, I didn’t get far at all. No matter how hard I tried. Like I said, I have nothing against difficult games. I like a good challenge but this game goes way over the top with its difficulty. I don’t recommend this game. It will definitely make you lose your sanity. It’s a big shame because I love 3D platformers where you collect a bunch of stuff like coins.
