I really like this game!! It definitely took a little bit for me to get the hang of, but once I got the controls down, I was good to go!! It took me a few tries to get all the data cubes on level 2, but now that I’ve collected all for level 1 and 2, I’m challenging myself to see how fast I can complete each level WHILE collecting all the data cubes. I hope more levels come to this game, the art is super cool and the game runs really nicely!!

Lost Gold
Play as a savior who is trying to reclaim the gold of the crown and clear the lands of the enemy. Study the enemy well, in the fight against them you need strategy and good preparation. Not only the crown believes in you, but also the people whose lands and property were deprived of these robbers.
Lost Gold is a 2D platformer where you need to work hard to kill enemies and find hidden gold. Each level cannot be repeated in its own way, collect gold and carry it to the cart as soon as possible. Do not forget that along the way you need to clear the levels from enemies.

Cube Paradox
This is a nice minimalist platformer, it’s challenging, it has a nice ctr effect that makes you immerse into the retro vibe. Also those who likes hard games can feel home here, since this game is really challenging. Highly recommend game!

This is a very good game, the graphics are very simple but beautiful, the gameplay is fluid and the music of the game doesn’t even speak, the game itself is nice to play. For that price, I have no reason not to recommend the game.

Freon
Lucky me has the dubious honour of writing the first review for Freon.
Freon is a 2 player split screen retro pixel platformer brawler from serial asset/template flippers, wow wow Games, who do very little but dump GameMaker Studio and other game construction kit template flips onto Steam as nasty cash grabs.
In the case of Freon, I’m not sure where they ripped this off from but we should expect it’s another asset flip because of the terrible past history of this “developer”. It’s a basic 2D retro pixel brawler with a twist, it’s split screen local multiplayer. They call it “hotseat”, but that’s not how hot seat games work, so I guess they probably didn’t look too deep into the game template they ripped off before they did.

Game description key-points: as short and simple it’s a Hard-core 2D platformer
– Real player with 3.1 hrs in game
Just Old stylizes itself as a “Hardcore” 2d sidescroller game. but in reality is sloppily put together glitch filled mess. Mechanics wise the game is unforgiving like it advertises, but mechanics are broken such as the rope literally detaching itself from it’s positioning while you climb. The gameplay comes off as sluggish with enemy ui and the player character’s movement speed is unbalanced and often causes unintended mistakes during your run. Functions intended to make the game “hard” instead come off as pretentious and tedious such as the no save function or restarting the game from level one every time you die.The soundtrack also grows from mildly annoying to aggravating as your deaths from stupid mechanics start to pile up. If you have some money and want to piss yourself off buy Risk of Rain 2; you’d have a lot more fun.

Parkour Posse
In Parkour Posse, two players take turns as the “runner” and “on-deck” moving through a level. When the 1st player reaches the end of a level, they switches places so the 2nd player can make the return trip. The runner will control the onscreen character moving, jumping, and dodging their way across the level. The player on-deck will be responsible for controlling the camera so the runner gets a better view, and providing helpful boosts when the runner needs them most.
The level doesn’t reset between runs, so anything the 1st player does in the level can potentially affect the 2nd. Level completion times are cumulative, so it’s important to work together to achieve the fastest times! Work together to run, jump, and dodge your way through 20 levels in theme park of a lifetime!
A Night at the Races
A Night at the Races is a really well made speedrun-focused runner/platformer hybrid game. This game came out of no where, and I picked it up thinking it would be nice to play here and there. I played like 20 hours in 3 days because it was that good. I really recommend playing this game, it’s a magical experience.

I came into this game with the mistaken belief that I was somewhat good at platformers. 20 hours and 120 levels later I’m leaving with the knowledge that I’m trash, as well as a blister on my thumb and a deeply ingrained hatred for berries.
Worth a look if you’re into the super-hard platforming genre. Super tight camera and auto-run/jump controls means you don’t have time to plan a route, it’s pretty much all either reflexes and reaction or brute muscle memory. Pretty decent worldbuilding outside of the platforming segments, and the point and click portions provided a good pallet cleanser, but overall the story was sparse.

CUBE-e
Lucky me gets to write the first review for CUBE-e, which is a 2D retro pixel puzzle “platformer” from known asset flippers, Piece of Voxel. This is a basic retro pixel puzzle game with a gravity inversion gimmick as you guide a robot through a space station factory thing and solve puzzles like how to put a crate on a switch, ho hum, it’s been done to death.
They chose to use obsolete retro pixel “art” as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It’s unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. Resolution and controls are locked. These flaws push this game far below minimum acceptable standards for PC. There’s also an insulting $10 USD price tag for this garbage. Yeah, $10, the same money that would get you one of hundreds of AAA games on sale. Or this trash.

PuppeTNetiK - Speedrun Challenge
f you’re a fan of dying, lots, check out PuppeTNetiK! If you’ve already checked it out, I urge you to fire it up again. It’s received some substantial improvements in the last week or two.
Great graphics, interesting concept, challenging.
A challenging and unforgiving platformer driven by ragdoll and magnet mechanics. The controls are simple enough but you need to really master them - and your timing - to succeed. Get that high score!
