Above the Stars

Above the Stars

Fun game, and the voiceover is funny, well acted, and enjoyable.

I like leave the game running while at work, come home, buy everything I can with the collected money, then blow up anything that has the audacity to come near the planet I’m protecting.

Fantastic blend of incremental, idle, and active mechanics - all are well done and blend nicely with each other. Not many games make we want to leave my computer on all day when I’m not in front of it, much less make it the first one to be maximized when I sit down.

At the end of the day, I’ve gotten more out of a number of free games. I don’t mind paying for incrementals and idles and the game is cheap. However, the content is very shallow IMO. The upgrades are uninspiring, the overall prestige system is tedious and you’ll quickly find yourself without the desire to keep doing the same thing over and over. The grind I can handle… if the payoff is worth it. I do think the dev has promise though, and I hope they’ll learn valuable lessons for the future.

Wow! Didn’t expect to have so much fun with this game. It has shooting, exploration and invisible stuff lurking all over the place. I KNOW! Most of them are itens to boost your level, but I love to discover things anyway. =D

You can unlock new abilities and improve your overall stats. Pretty cool!

Took me about one and a half to two hours to get to the end and then I discovered that i missed some blue bugs.

I’ll be returning back to the game soon and will try to find these missing bad boys.

Operation: BoomSlang!

Operation: BoomSlang!

What a strange little indie game that has a tonne of potential… if it can be given care until final release, that is.

Man I have to say… Getting some Babo Violent 2 vibes hear haha😎*_*

Operation: Boom Slang! has quite a fast pace to it, witch i really enjoy! It has a lot of action and strategy, you are constantly on the move with tones of kick ass explosions surrounding you where you go, as well as shweet game play, I do love the fact of timing your shots just right in games, and the fact that they included the ability to dash really makes you feel like you can seriously kick some butt. There is definitely a great balance between weapons and ability, having that said, I feel like the Rifle could use a bit of an upgrade (like maybe shoot a bit faster).

Angry Putin

Angry Putin

Angry Putin feels like a low budget, extremely short version of GTA Russia - if Putin was the lead character that is…If you want to get drunk on VOTKA, VOTKA, VOTKA, beat people up fairly brutally and dance for 10-15 minutes for less than £1 then this will fill that void in your life.

Genuinely rather satisfying despite being rather basic and short. For less than £1 I think it’s worth it!

Check out my gameplay video right here: https://youtu.be/joL-yfH0Zt4

NOTE: I received this game for free.
