To Ash and Ember
Meet your Maker and Kill Them.
That which was Dead refuses to Die. One of the Slaughtered Gods is resurfacing; bringing with them all the terrors of the night as the world warps under their dead weight. Through hidden doorways and between flesh-strewn trees you seek the name of the one who dares haunt this world and, in fantastic ritual, rip them from out of the Veil to face you in grim combat. Wounded, mentally shattered, and bedeviled by a Godcurse you return triumphant to a city whose people have become further twisted by this game of cosmic import. But how long until your mortal body fails you? In what hour shall your will be finally broken? How many divine curses can your soul bear before it shatters? The embers of chaos still burn and another Fallen God shall surely surface – and again you shall stand against them until either you, this world, or all the Fallen Gods are Ash and Ember.
To Ash and Ember is a singleplayer Dark Fantasy Event-based RPG. It plays like a board-game without needing to shuffle decks, set out a board, or read manuals. This is a game of time management and decisions, of who to save and who to sacrifice, and of a City whose windows and streets grow darker and stranger the longer your battles continue.
Features
-
The Slaughtered Gods leave indelible marks. Investigators may become as warped as that which they fight: going mad, growing horns, and perhaps even dying and becoming a Wraith. The City’s locations may burn, be distorted, or become infested with otherworldly abominations.
Battle horrors beyond imagination. In the shadows gleam knives and teeth that shall seek to crush you that their dead God be allowed to return.
-
The World forever twists underfoot. You will routinely encounter World Distortions that change how the game is played or impose restrictions as the Slaughtered God stirs in their astral grave.
-
Harden your heart, steel your mind, guard your soul. Investigators gain Experience from their trials and battles which they can use to level up, gaining Perks and Quirks: advantages that come with disadvantages. The more experienced, the more Complicated.
-
Enlighten the World or Burn it. If all is lost you may abandon a Worldline to its fate and migrate to another. Even if Investigators fall, you can Enkindle new ones to continue the fight against the constant horrors that face this world.
-
Fate’s cruel but fair dice. In true board-game fashion, you roll against Fate herself to determine the outcomes of the many tests that face you with six-sided dice; each Investigator has their own strengths and weaknesses.
-
This is Your Story. Game events are presented as mini-narratives with branching paths, opportunities, and perils. Your choices may open up new possibilities – or seal them.
-
Come as you are – armed to the teeth. Wield, discover, empower, and sell an array of spells, weapons, and beasts alone or with Companions and Allies as you stand against the Resurrection.

ARMORED HEAD
This game was my go in blind purchase of the week. It is so cheap and the content that it delivers is well worth the asking price. I am having a lot of fun with this frantic arena FPS. You get to double jump, bullet time slo-mo kill vast swathes of tin robot armies which come in a variety of fun shapes and sizes. You get an arsenal of 9 guns, some of which you can dual-wield and all of which have weight and a distinct feel to them. Once you are done working out all the little secrets the game has to offer and self-tutor yourself in the primary and secondary functions of each gun and survive all 30 waves and boss fights, you then get a little something extra. Don’t want to spoil anything, you will have to get there yourself. Bear in mind that the game MUST BE BEATEN IN ONE SITTING. But there are 3 checkpoints along the way which you can start from when you inevitably die on your run.

Armored Head is a fluid, fun and well-realized indie shooter developed solely by Egor Rezenov in Unity. Taking the role of a gladiator bot, you have to prove your worth against waves of opponents consisting of various bots. It is clear that Egor took his time to polish both the aesthetic and mechanic sides of his game, thus Armored Head provides around three hours of enjoyment for those interested in the genre.
Even though it is a wave-based shooter that takes place in a single arena designed for the purpose, it does not go on forever. The goal is to survive for 30 rounds and face the final boss, after which you are granted a prize and are free to explore or leave the premises. The arsenal for the task at hand consists of ten weapons which are presented to you gradually at the start of specific waves. You collect coins throughout the game which are either dropped by defeated opponents or found within the boxes scattered around, then use them at your will to unlock various helpful features of the arena. While most of the opponents are melee-only fighters of varying size and strength, there are also ranged shooters, fliers and droppers, as well unique bosses. Your abilities extend to dodge-jumping, double-jumping and slowing the action down for a brief amount of time; but further collecting in the form of pills is required to gain the necessary energy for utilizing them.

Reach the Summit
Cool unpretentious 2D platformer made in the style of games of the 90s with elements of adventure.
I liked the construction of the levels here, as well as the way they are well drawn

Folks, be sure to pack a will made of iron. Reach the Summit is a title that falls into the category of pixel perfect platformers. You will die in this game. Boy is this game ruthless. The developers really weren’t playing when they crafted this beautiful torture machine. For any of you who seem to have gaming oriented masochistic tendencies, like myself, you’ll have fun.

SpaceBlocc
SpaceBlocc is a colorful minimalistic spaceship building game. A mysterious world you have to escape before it destroys you.
BUILD YOUR SHIP
Choose among 7 different parts to build your ship. By correctly managing your weight, thrust, and energy available you will be able to travel a different speeds. Slow and fast both have their advantages and disadvantages. Too slow and you will get destroyed by asteroid rains. Too fast and you won’t have time to destroy obstacles before colliding with them.
UNLOCK NEW PARTS
You start with only the minimum. Unlock new parts as you progress through the game. These parts are required to advance to next levels, and obviously will make your ship stronger.
RESCUE LOST ASTRONAUTS
Rescue astronauts that were a bit too bold. Some are just out there ready to be picked up. Some decided it would be fun to have to be rescued in more dangerous areas.
Bird
THIS GAME MADE MY BRAIN DAMAGE CURED AND NOW I KNOW BIRD. BIRD IS GOOD AND COOL. IT FLIES AND DIVES AND TURNS. YOU HAVE A LOT OF FREE SKINS AND THIS GAME IS TOTALLY NOT A SKAM ITEM FROM A KEY SHOP THAT SKAMED ME FOR CS:GO PRIME GIST KEY. I FIND IT AMAZING.

CatMafia
overall 3/10
badly designed and implemented game.
after first few minutes interest to play is gone.
– Real player with 3.0 hrs in game
An excellent shooter where we play as mafia cats.
There are a lot of different opponents in the game, namely: jackals, mice, wolves and many others.
And the best part is that the game is not very demanding with the characteristics of a computer.

Nira
Nira is a pixel based RPG which heavily reminds me of the old Holy Grail on the Atari 800 from back in the 80s.
The price is very generous for the content, hard time, and updates to come.
I purchased this game moment it was released as I could not bare to be without Nira once the beta ended.
I had the opportunity to play this game and help with debugging and suggestions along with many others who helped out as well.
The game is quite simple to learn, and very enjoyable. It’s one of those games you start playing then realize the day flew by.
– Real player with 144.8 hrs in game
I’ve been really enjoying playing Nira, so far, I know it’s early days right now but I find the gameplay engaging and the items satisfying to obtain and use.
It’s very easy to get into; the way that the tools progress leads you nicely through the crafting tree, the combat is simple and rewarding (especially once you have gathered enough resources for projectile weapons), and I enjoy the foraging/farming aspect, it’s nice to see crops that you have gathered, or traded for, grow.
I cannot speak to the multiplayer myself, as I have yet to try it, but I enjoy the single player mode immensely.

Addictive runner style game where you control a kayak rushing through a mountain river picking up bonus items going for a new distance record as you avoid rocks and such.
Steer with A (left) and D (right) keys. You pick up bonus items by jumping over the objects they are hovering over. Rocks and the shore. You must avoid damaging your kayak. The bonus items do different things. The balloons, for example, will allow you to briefly float over obstacles. You jump by hitting the Space Bar. I recommend hitting it twice rapidly, especially when jumping over a rock dam.

Fast Wings
This is a hard one. It’s not bad, but it was intended for the phone. The gameplay loop is based on playing for a minute or two at a time which is perfect for the phone and bad for a PC.
On the other hand this isn’t the typical phone port trash. There is a decent game in here, but it is still a game for phones. I would recommend it for the phone, but I can’t find it on the Android app store. I looked for the developer and I don’t even know if I found them, there are at least 2 different companies that could have made this game and neither list it on their website.
