The Last Archwing
The last Archwing reminded me of the traditional plane/helicopter shooting games I used to play in the pizza parlor as a kid. The more up to date graphics and controls were nice and enjoyed the variety of funny characters. My 5 year old son was able to beat the game on casual and enjoyed the humor as well.

The Last Archwing nails game balance. It’s frustrating enough to keep you interested, but not in a way that’s discouraging. The variety of enemies is just right. The pacing is on par with the best of 2D side scrolling and vertical scrolling games. It’s nostalgic in a way that brings back the classic game feel, but because of the story, music, graphics (specifically lighting) and voice acting, the game is firmly placed into the modern era of games. A shout out to the barrel roll game mechanic for being easy to use but hard to master. Smashing multiple enemies with one roll is immensely satisfying. Deciding between using barrel roll and Death Wave adds a layer of depth that is compelling. The music choice for the different levels and opening sequence is superb. I’m pleasantly surprised by how much I am enjoying this game.

Maze Qore Arena
Your game overall is really fun! i didn’t have time to play it with my friends but even just playing against the bots on multiplayer / campaign was fun! I have a few suggestions: Improve the AI a bit sometimes when i played multiplayer against they wouldn’t fight each other at all. Maybe add like armor or that is like an extra health bar or something. Bigger maps would be good the maps now are a bit too small imo and can get a bit to chaotic. But yeah overall really fun game.

MENOS: PSI-SHATTER
The Game has great potential. It is lagging sometimes. But the developer is so proactive. He is releasing updates on time to time basis. I loved the game very very much.

This game is very dry.
Levels are undetailed. There’s only three enemies: pistol guard, submachinegun guard, and shotgun guard (this one is bald, that’s how much difference there is). You have three actions: fire weapon, telekinesis, and look ahead. Technically there’s also walking, but that’s useless and best left never used. Your character could win an award for most generic video game protagonist ever. There’s not much decor or interaction, beside breakable desks, black bottomless pits, exploding cylindrical tanks on some levels, and shattering glass, which the game author seems to have fallen in love with.

SUPERVERSE
Playing Superverse is really awesome experience.
Whole universe against you, just like old retro games when we were saving world and universe from bad guys, those were good old times. What can one wish for more.
Excellent graphics and fluid gameplay is something that is typical for this game.
Tested on keyboard which can be playable but i recommend with Joypad. It is totally different experience.
Once you get used to controls it becomes very natural and easy to play even versus tougher opponents.

Have you ever played Gate88? How about Chicken Invaders? Imagine Gate88 space mechanics and controls where you are floating and you can power up your weapons in Chicken Invaders style and just enjoy nice space scenery?
SUPERVERSE will give you all that and more. Although it is an early access game, it is offering interesting content. You are a small space vessel and you roam around different universes and upgrade weapons, Chicken Invaders style where more is better, enjoy the scenery and destroy enemy vessels.

BLUE SABERS: Early Mission
Overview
Use conventional and three types of special weapons to overcome difficult situations.
Take control of the battlefield with support aircraft!
Long-established STG development team, Blue&White, the first new one in 13 years, and a new origin!
Story
More than a decade of warfare between the MUltinational COmpanys Community (MUCOC) and the International Unification Treaty Organization (IUTO) has left both sides exhausted and A stalemate had been reached.
To break the deadlock, the MUCOC fleet gathered its remaining forces and launched Operation Earth Descent.
Although the IUTOs were allowed to descend, they put up a desperate resistance to prevent the expansion of the front line.
However, there were not enough surplus forces, and the counter-offensive was left in the hands of a mish-mash of new recruits and reserve forces.
The name of the unit was the “Blue Sabres”.
Thus the battle later known as “Second MUCOC War” has began.
Gameplay
The main point of the game is how to make a way with powerful weapons and supply.
Break out of a difficult situation by mastering three types of special weapons, which are limited to normal armament and singular numbers.
Calling for your support aircraft, Garuda, allows you to refuel your special weapons and restore your ship’s shields.

Review:
I’m actually surprised by how fun this game was considering the creator emphasizes how early access it is. The game plays well and it really keeps you on your toes, because restarting from the beginning actually sucks. The enemies have some neat attacks and can pressure you pretty well and seeing your character progress it’s pretty entertaining. Improvements I would suggest is telling the player they can leave the run to use their trait points and continue the same run. I think having the shop upgrades cycle as you buy them would keep the game more balanced and interesting, because if shield upgrade and ranged weapon upgrade are available it’s a no brainer what you’re going to buy. I tried 4 different weapons before realizing the starter weapon is all you need I’m not sure if I got unlucky or what, but the starter weapon was the only one which would auto fire when I held the left click. The game can be abused a little bit as well since you can leave the game and rejoin it to make sure the shop has what you want in it. Overall I had a ton of fun with this game and hopefully I’ll be able to check it out again when it full releases.

The Soldiers Factory
The Soldiers Factory is a top-down stealth game and the start of a trilogy.
Go undetected and sneak past enemy soldiers or secretly kill them. Overcome surveillance cameras and laser barricades. Use the room scanner, the taser pistol and many other weapons. But remember, the alarm will make the mission even more difficult.
The playing time on the NORMAL level of difficulty is approximately 12 hours. Of course, it depends on the player. The story takes you to several locations, which is divided into over 60 levels.
Utopos
I previously bought Guntech/URG for VCS and PC, and so when I heard about a related multi-player game I was interested. It’s still on early access at the moment, so there are not so many players, and there are regular updates, but the author, Jani, is regularly on his Discord channel, and I’ve never dealt with a developer who listens so much to his international game players, and addresses their requests, feedback, and bug reports so quickly. The fact that it supports multi-platform including my Atari VCS is very good. The addition of bots makes it possible to spawn opponents when there are no players online, which I like. I hear that he’s tweaking the region options to make it easier to find and join games, and it will expand.

This game is a blast. Anyone purchasing this game is fully aware that it is an early access game, and that what we have is not the final product. There has already been numerous updates in game to address bugs, or other concerns. I see a big community building around the game already, and do not have any issues finding any games to play in, I’m not sure where that complaint is coming from. I think this is an amazing game, and will continue to play it every single day.

I love rhythm-based games!
This is a very fun and challenging experience, with a lot of customization and unlockable content. I really like the simplicity of the art style (it has kind of an outrun-esque feel to it), and the music is really good, very catchy.
