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.

The last earth man

The last earth man

In 2XXX, a strange virus suddenly appeared on the earth. It only infects humans. The infected person’s body will slowly weaken and then die within a few weeks. The infectivity of this virus is extremely terrible, and human beings cannot avoid being infected by any means. When the whole world was in despair, a Arcturian named bill came to earth and declared that he was willing to help treat the virus. People on earth thought they had met a Savior and fully cooperated with Bill’s treatment. However, the treatment had no effect. Soon, human beings became extinct. Bill holds the gene bank of all mankind, so he continues to clone humans to study the treatment of the virus. In one experiment, due to a coincidence that the probability was infinitely close to zero, the virus on a human clone was removed and had immunity to the virus. Bill told the human that the coincidence could not be copied. If you want to revive other humans, you can only go to the source of the virus: Sirius. So, the last earthman drove the mecha provided by bill to Sirius. But waiting for him is a conspiracy

I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MB1ES 1N IT!!!1

I highly recommend this game if your looking for a good twin stick shooter that won’t take much of your time. From playing the Xbox 360 version to now the Steam I can tell you that this game hold up very well. What makes it better that it is a free experience so if you don’t enjoy it you just have to uninstall. When you get a chance definitely take some time into playing it.

FINALLY. This was easily one of my favorite games back on Xbox Arcade. It’s not that it’s a huge game. To be fair it’s a chaotic mess, but it’s so much fun. The soundtrack meshes perfectly with the gameplay too and was well worth the $1 cover charge the game used to require. Hopefully “I MAED A S0NG W1TH Z0MBIES 1N IT” makes it’s way to Steam soon as well since we can have soundtracks now. The only thing that could make this game better is more of it but for a bite sized 10 minute adventure this one is hands down one of the best.

Nice twin stick shooter, with different map types. good although short sound track. tries to have rogue lite elements like ship upgrades, and while they are cool, i was able to unlock all of them right away (with the exception of 1 tier3 unlock). it almost feels as if those unlocks should just be like PowerUp drops during the game. but overall so far i have had a #Funtime

Great game; this game gets more and more dynamic as you progress through the levels. It can get quite intense but the relaxing sound-track adds a nice balance. It seems to be well optimized for PC because it runs smooth and takes little storage. My favorite level so far is 10; maneuvering around the asteroids is good fun and makes a great scenery. I look forward to exploring the rest of the levels and arcade mode.

Too Many Zombies!

Too Many Zombies!

It’s actually quite a lot of fun, even solo. Mix in the ability to add up to three friends on Steam through Steam Remote Play and they don’t even need to buy this game via Remote Play.. and this game seems like a decent value.

It’s got a tutorial, and two modes, survival and campaign.

The controls are good, the campaign stays interesting with new different objects to complete besides just blasting zombies. The crafting and resource collecting add fun and value as well.

A Quiver of Crows

A Quiver of Crows

@C.:

_Les mouches bourdonnaient sur ce ventre putride,

D’où sortaient de noirs bataillons

De larves, qui coulaient comme un épais liquide

Le long de ces vivants haillons.

Tout cela descendait, montait comme une vague,

Ou s’élançait en pétillant ;

On eût dit que le corps, enflé d’un souffle vague,

Vivait en se multipliant._

A Quiver of Crows game. You, as a flying being, ‘a crow’, shooting with some lasers into some relentless ever-respawning undeads of various sorts.

This game needs some reviews, so I want to do a 2-hour first impression. The art in this game is astoundingly well developed. It wordlessly creates a lot of ambience as you fly your way through abandoned playgrounds and discarded remnants of civilization as a new dawn approaches a terrible day…

You play a freaking bird with laser weapons. If you’re still reading this, you want this game. It’s hard. Quite hard, but it can be enjoyed in bursts of 10 minutes or a whole rage inducing hour. The controls are extremely tight, and the weapons and enemies are all interesting. My favorite are the basic enemies, which I call the “Dental Association” as they chomp me to bits.

satryn deluxe

satryn deluxe

Satryn Deluxe is a fun reimagination of Robotron/Llamatron, an 8-directional twin stick shooter. Shoot all the baddies and collect friends to increase your multiplier. When you die you lose a life and half of your friends. Every 75,000 points a new powerup will spawn.

The levels are procedurally generated, the RNG is a bit strong with levels varying in difficulty and some containing much more friends than others.

It may or may not be the best to way to play it but the game does support (a one handed) controller+mouse in addition to the standard keyboard+mouse and dual stick controller. Which is nice because my dual stick is out of service for the moment and I don’t want to use the keyboard to move my character.

(Revised below.)

A love letter to Robotron 2084 and a great companion title for twin-stick purists who can tolerate only a little spin on a classic. Nice enemy variety and number of weapon drops will keep you engaged. The action is tight but this burns a little slower than its grandfather, quickly allowing new players to play for twenty or more stages after only a handful of runs. That’s okay; this isn’t a greedy arcade machine trying to eat all your quarters as quickly as possible. The late game challenge ramps up nicely and lingering around on one stage is clearly discouraged. All in all, this should be one of those ‘one more go’ games that will keep you up when you should be in bed.
