Dungeon Slime: Puzzle’s Adventure
Realmente desafiante. Gráficos bons e som melhor ainda. A música desse jogo realmente é muito boa, se incorpora brilhantemente ao mundo do jogo. Cheguei na fase 15, tive que quebrar a cabeça porque não sou bom de puzzels. Mas quando abri o jogo novamente só estava salvo até a fase 12…
Realmente um ótimo jogo, um bom investimento.

The game is amazing in every aspect of what it has to offer! Simple and yet very challenging with a beautiful hand-painted scenario made by a very good artist! You need to think every step that you move or else, you will die, a lot!
A must buy for hard core puzzle lovers! I highly recommend this game!

No More Home
Take part in the fight to defend your home!
Fragments of meteors have fallen and the Recyclers are there to exploit their composition. The problem is that they have no regard for the locals …
A completely open map
Fight all over town, prepare your approaches, or just go straight ahead. You are free to operate the city according to your needs.
The map is divided into several districts all connected to each other in one way or another. They will be released over time in future updates.
Strategy, or not
No More Home gives you the possibility to fulfill your mission in the way you like:
Remain discreet and achieve the goal without being spotted.
Hit and run, attack and fall back until a good opportunity to end it presents itself.
Or just think that the strategy is for the weak, and go for it with the biggest weaponry possible!
Choose your equipment carefully
Between each mission, plan what weapons and accessories you will take with you.
Your inventory is limited, and will influence the way you play. The more things you take with you, the more your movement will be affected.
But maybe you will choose to wear heavy protection? Or just play it very light and be able to run around.
Evolve your character
At the end of each mission, you will gain experience which you can spend on buying new weapons, new outfits, and new skills that will help you to go on increasingly difficult operations.

Bulkhead
An interesting spin on the TD-fps genre. The gameplay will keep you on your toes, and the artstyle, effects, and theming are consistent and quite good. It’s definitely an indie game, and there are a few rough spots here and there, e.g. the controls, tower placement, metal beam in the HUD, etc. That being said, the game was fun.
Side note, the current build is near-impossible. The groups of big bois are brutal and the titans are broken. But I imagine the devs will balance the game shortly

The Good Graphics are nice sound track is pretty sick and I like that they give you an active component with your builder. The bad Minions like killing your towers, you can’t be at two places at the same time and the default paths are a continent apart from each other, you have to actually physically pick up resources which despawn quickly so if your towers are killing things on the left while you’re on the right you’re getting half the resources at best, YOU HAVE TO BODY block to have any form of success, there’s not many tower choices and you can’t upgrades your towers, Minions LOVE killing your towers and some are thicc barely get frozen and are just blitzing so you have to lay sacrificial towers to appease their tower blood thirst, PLACING TOWERS IS HARD the area you can put them is very limited and you have to have a wide gap between your towers which is ANNOYING AS THE WORLD, you only have 30 very short seconds to lay towers while you try to fight with the build mode to even drop them AND THEN you have to run back to body block a path, there’s no wave counter that I noticed or any kind of stat to tell me how my towers are doing whatsoever, The Machine gun tower takes forever to start shooting like it will literally watch enemies run by then start shooting like 10-15 seconds later. Overall I think it’s a neat concept, but in my subjective opinion I can’t recommend it because I don’t think in it’s current state it’s worth the time investment to try and figure out how to win.

Fiery Disaster
Fiery Disaster is like a low effort 2D top down tower defence game, but without the towers, you just click near the enemies and try to hit them with your single defence gun (volcano, whatever).
This is pretty bad, the whole thing just doesn’t work. Play a proper tower defence game instead, Steam has hundreds of them.
At least the developers used an appropriate name for this “game”.

I don’t think the creator of this game knows what tower defense is. This is not a tower defense game. I am also fairly certain this is not a strategy game in any way, I mean, shoot the guys coming at your gate is not a strategy, it is the only objective. Strategy implies there is more than one way to do a thing or choices to make in upgrades or something, this game has none of this. By level 3 the game is near unbeatable. Making a game hard for the sake of it is not adding substance or challenge, especially when there is only 1 thing you can do in the game, shoot lava at approaching villagers. I see now why this game is often 50 cents, still not worth it.

Biodrone Battle
Tags: Topdown Shooter
Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library
TLDR : Cheap Tuesdays, Bundle-Galore, Botline Miami wanna-be with cheap control scheme and user interface, and somewhat broken firing and stealth mechanics that cant hook you on despite its fast paced gameplay and somewhat decent sci fi premise.
Biodrone battle is a flash game / mobile game style top down shooter set in a generic sci fi theme. The game has a few ideas and gimmicks like a stealth button that makes your unit go black and in theory invisible and you can use alt fire to stun lock opponents then ram in them to capture them. You can them morph between one of three types of units that are featured in the game, the optional objective being to capture everyone rather than kill. However, mechanically, the game didnt feel like it was doing what it should, I could stealth and get shot at even if I stealthed before being in field of view of anyone, I could fight against a unit thats the same type as me, hit it multiple times, and still get one shot by them. Additionally, the restart and continue buttons would sometimes bug out and refuse to work, or the help menu would refuse to minimize, and other little control/UI annoyances that made that cheapened the general feel of it. The way the game handled FOV related to vision worked okay, and it seemed like there were about 30 levels to go through, and the game even affords you to skip levels by unlocking 7 whole levels as you unlock tutorial, but ultimately, the universe and setting was shallow, the assets were acceptable for the genre but unremarkable, and the setting was generic but acceptable. It is the mechanical flaws and overall lack of any sense of why you should bother with this that killed it for me within the first 10 minutes. I got this in a bundle so I will simply delete it from library and hide it from Steam. If someone mastered this and found it to be a hidden gem of some kind then refer to them and their review for an explanation but I am going to recommend my friends they stay away from this sorry devs.

Don’t be fooled by the simplistic visage of Biodrone Battle. Underneath its surface there are a gauntlet of challenging levels and smart enemies to test your skill.
PROS:
- The “morphing” mechanic-adds another element to the twich shooting mechanics of the typical top-down shooter, and makes into more of a tactical affair. Tactical in the sense that you get 3 slots to fill with drones that have different strengths and weaknesses, which can be employed in different situations. It also presents more than one way to advance through levels, as you are limited by the amount of energy and must mix fighting and morphing to survive. Gameplay with each drone takes on a different tone, as the special powers of each as well as their speed, range, and attack power make

Cold Comfort
Cold Comfort is an asymmetrical 5v5 Tactical FPS.
Play as either a Survivor or a Gamma Prime- each side having completely unique game mechanics and vastly different goals.
Each Survivor has their own exclusive weapon sets, skills, and gadgets. Their unified goal: the preservation of humanity from the throes of the Gamma Strain pandemic. They must rescue and evacuate civilians, ensuring that the infection does not spread.
As with any virus, it’s main prerogative is to evolve and disseminate. The Gamma Primes, victims mutated by the Gamma Strain, are the perfect catalyst for this task. As a Gamma Prime, you start the game embodying an infected rat. Scurrying around, spreading terror and infection.
The more corpses and civilians you infect, the greater your respawn pool becomes. Choose when you want to take the next evolutionary step, and become a zombie, and then fully evolve into a Gamma Prime; using these stages to your advantage.
In Cold Comfort, the one true commodity is human life.
Behind the curtains of this struggle for survival, a much bigger story is playing out – a story involving a huge pharmaceutical corporation with a vision and all the things that can go wrong, because humanity is simply not ready for immortality.
FEATURES
-
Barricades & Traps: Survivors have a number of tools at their disposal to maim and injure.
-
Dynamic Day/Night Cycle: The later it gets, the more powerful the Gamma Primes and Zombies become.
-
Dynamic Destruction: Barricades are only as good as their surrounding environment. Players can take advantage of certain structural weaknesses.
-
Gamma Prime Spawn Pool: The Gamma Prime’s spawn pool is dictated by the number of zombies left on the map. No more zombies means game over.
-
Play as the virus: A truly asymmetrical aspect - Gamma Primes always spawn as rats, can evolve to zombies and then eventually Gamma Primes, and when they die the cycle continues.
MODULAR AI SYSTEM
Enabling a modular AI system allows for added depth and immersion, ensuring a wide variety of Civilians and Zombies.
GAMMA PRIME EVOLUTION
Gamma Primes always spawn as rats. They can bite corpses and Civilians activating the dormant virus within. Once bitten, they will transform into Zombies. When the transformation from Corpse to Zombie is complete, they can be bitten again, and the player embodies the Zombie. Players can then strategically choose when to evolve Into a Gamma Prime. Once they die, they spawn again as a rat, and the cycle continues until there are no more viable hosts left, or all of the Survivors are infected.
CUSTOMIZABLE WEAPONS
Each Survivor has unique character-specific weapons and gadgets. Players can customize their weapons, to adapt to their own individual play style.
GADGETS
Survivors have standard gadgets, like rat traps, rat spray, and flashlights, but each Survivor has their own gadget sets, which allows for completely unique tactics.
ABILITIES & SKILLS
Survivors have SKILLS, and Gamma Primes have ABILITIES. Each character has an advancement tree which can be unlocked using the appropriate GNA or DNA.
PERSISTENT CHARACTER PROGRESSION
Unlock and upgrade each character to your liking with branching upgrade options.
BLING BLING
From genetically mutated cowl plates, to weapon skins and baubles, make your characters stand out.
PACK MENTALITY
Multi-level maps combined with strong pack mentality/cohesion mechanics, moral conundrums, and survivor fortifications make Cold Comfort a heart-thumping visceral gaming experience that mixes organized tactical group planning with split-second decision making in real-world scale battles with up to 5 players per side.
THE GAMMA STRAIN
A world ravaged by a deadly virus, the Gamma Strain. Commonly known as “The Sickness“, it is an infectious disease caused by a mutation of the influenza virus. The Global Center for Disease and Prevention (GDC) declared an outbreak of a new type of Gamma Strain A to be a pandemic in June 2022.
GENETIC MUTATIONS
The Gamma Prime are the true survivors, having mutated through the tampered Gamma Strain vaccine. Their enhanced abilities make them a force to be reckoned with. Each Gamma Prime has their own special abilities that make them truly unique and require a completely different play style.
DOWNED STATE
Death is the easy way out. When Survivors succumb to their wounds they enter the “downed state”. In this state, they can crawl around, and use their sidearms. Gamma Primes, however, can immobilize them while they are in this precarious and weakened state, and extract DNA from them. This “farming mechanic” is a balancing act. Extract too much DNA too quickly, and the Survivor will die. The extracted DNA can then be used after the match for the player to improve their own Survivor characters; unlocking new weapons, gadgets, and skills.
COMMUNITY DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT
As game developers, we sometimes suffer from tunnel vision, and forget what is truly important to you, our fans!

We want to invite players to take part in the common effort of making Cold Comfort the game you’ve always wanted to play. That is why we are very transparent in our regular progress reports and interaction with the growing community on our Discord Server.
