I’ve played the local multiplayer several times with friends and have had a great time playing. The variety of game types and settings provide a lot of options for replayability. I can’t wait to play the campaign once it is released, especially since it can be played coop. Cymatically Muffed is reminiscent of older classics while still providing new and exciting mechanics of it’s own. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

Laser Disco Defenders
Great game - colourful and fun retro-laser shootout. Nice and difficult, too - yet as the levels are procedurally generated you don’t get bored!
LDD’s most unique dynamic is that your shots (and enemy shots) never dissappear and stay lethally bouncing around the game so you end up spending a lot of time dodging your own laser beams… it lends itsself to a lot of interesting strategies - do you just fire off a couple and be patient and wait for them to blast the enemy (boring) or do you go in guns blazing and get out before you can be hit by the ricochets? It’s up to you!

Laser Disco Defenders
DISCLAIMER: I received this product for no cost for the purpose of reviewing. However, this does not affect my views and opinions of the game.
Laser Disco Defenders is a 2D twin-stick shooter with bullet-hell elements. You play as one of many “disco defenders”, each with their own benefits and disadvantages. You navigate your defender through each stage destroying all of the enemies in order to progress to the next area. You have to dodge enemy fire, as well as your OWN shots which is where a lot of the skill comes into play.

NEAR DEADline
I love this game so much! I have been loving it ever since I played it back on newgrounds, it controls like dogshit but I still love the gameplay! I especially love the into cutscene and all the sprite work in the game, very cartoony and lovable!
Also the coding is nice, this is for you, brandy. Still never got credited for the clown animation. 9/10

7.5/10 — A lot of self-mockery and humour — indicating we shouldn’t take this free piece to_o serious — but definitely worth my time!
PS I’m not the artist here, but if you are, check this out! I assume it’s not just another joke ;-)

It is a fast paced shooter game that is beautiful in its artwork and play fun in this game play. There are a few bugs in the game but over all it is a fun game that keeps you locked into the action.
Beware the tentacles!

Fun alone, but more fun with friends.
Tank Quest is a top-down shooter with strategy elements. The campaign is divided into about 8 different levels which each contain 5 missions. If you die at any point in these 5 missions, you have to start from the first one again. This can be very frustrating, but forces you to learn strategy to complete them faster. After a couple times dying on mission 5, I was able to zip through missions 1-4 easily.
Co-op reduces this frustration as all members of the party need to die to restart the level. Friendly fire makes for lots of funny moments, and the game goes a lot faster with help from teammates. My first solo run took me about 5 hours, but playing with 3 people only took about 1 hour to beat the game.

Bacon Rebellion
Its worth its price of $4 but it doesn’t try to be worth anything more than that. No extra gamemodes, no multiplayer, no customization options to change gameplay, and no support for modding. This game was supposedly put on the backburner for 7 years and it was just dropped onto Steam with no marketing. Its likely that the developer just wanted this out of development limbo. Adding the fact that there’s only been two small updates in the past few months, its clear that there’s no more plans to add anything to this game any further.

Straight up just a fantastic and fun arcade twin stick shooter. If you like twin stick shooters go for it, if you don’t why even think about it.

Gunnheim
Gunnheim is an excellent top-down twin stick shooter. I love these type of games and I haven’t played a good one until Gunnheim came along, I highly recommend this game to anyone that enjoys games like this.
The gameplay is what you expect from a twin stick shooter, but the things that separate this game from other similar ones are what make it unique. First off is the graphics, just as the dev’s listed, it is not pixelated and that to me is very refreshing. Yes pixels aren’t bad, but can get tiring, with Gunnheim however the graphics are very charming, there is a lot of warmth when you play through the various levels. The other thing is the setting of the game, I don’t know why, but the idea of vikings using guns is hilarious and refreshing. You would never think of a viking wielding a gun, but somehow the dev’s made it work.
