#Funtime
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.

TANKNAROK
Its a pretty good multiplayer party game.
The game has fairly simple controls and easy to pick up, its very fast paced and chaotic, with lots of visual effects, environemntal hazards and a wide variety of mostly randomly spawned weapons and gadgets. One round mostly lasts less than a minute, while an entire game lasts around five minutes. It makes it perfect for when you have a little bit of time to kill and a few friends around.
The only real cons with this game are its lack of single player features and a bit of wonkiness with the online multiplayer. However, neither of these are big issues, since this game works best with the local multiplayer. So, if you have some friends who want to play this with you, id definitely recommend it.

Developer posted about this game on social media. Took a quick look at the discount and video and purchased immediately. Got to play with my son tonight and we had a blast. Reminds us of the quick map changes and random weapons we loved in stick fight from another developer. This game is well polished and very fun to play. Just need more people to buy and enjoy the game so I can have more of you to play online with! I highly recommend this game especially if you have a setup to allow couch co-op.

Where do i start for this gem..
well ide like to say that i have encounter’d 0 bugs in this game in my time
this game is just really well polished, you have to constanly be on the move, paying attention to your surroundings and making split second decisions.
yours constantly on your toes and paying attention to your game, i itch my ball sack for a second and im dead this game gets really nutty.
im currently 20th in the world with a highscore of 1.2 mill and at that point theres so much shit on your screen, its so satisfying to get a level 3 break and just wipe them all of.. only to start again.

CYGNI: All Guns Blazing
It’s a twin-stick vertical scrolling Shooter hybrid with a cinematic flare (being developed by two self-taught artists and developers):
An unrelenting onslaught of eye-popping visuals, ear bursting soundscapes and mind-melting action makes CYGNI the vanguard for the next generation of Shoot-em Ups.
Outgunned, outmanned and out on your own, plunge into a sky full of hell in a last-ditch battle for survival. Choose to route power between weapons or shield systems and go up against unrelenting waves of ground and aerial enemies. Upgrade your ship by picking up new tech and take down colossal alien bosses in visceral combat; do whatever it takes to survive.
CYGNI assaults the eyes, ears and mind to deliver an extraordinarily exhilarating video game experience. CYGNI does not seek to reinvent Shoot’em Ups but to elevate the genre to deliver the heightened sensations of a truly next-generation experience.
Encamped within the remains of a long-lost civilization on the planet CYGNI, Earth forces are decimated by a surprise attack from a powerful, biomechanical, alien race. As one of the last pilots on the last carrier in the fleet, you are the only line of defence against the unyielding alien bombardment.
Cygni Features:
• With next generation visuals, animation and special effects, CYGNI is a cinematic shoot’em up.
• Be the lone fighter battling through intensely hostile levels filled with waves of air and ground assaults.
• Choose where to route power on the fly switching between shields (defensive) or weapons systems (offensive).
• Collect energy to power up your ship and energise weaponry from hard-hitting nukes to inescapable vortex bombs.
• Launch air-to-air and air-to-ground attacks as you traverse neon-lit metropolises, moon-like landscapes and even outer space.
• Go one-on-one against gargantuan enemies in cinematically epic boss battles.
• Full orchestral score and immersive sound design.
OSES
OSES is a third-person shooter with some puzzle elements.
In OSES you play as 1-3 survivors each level, switching at will as appropriate, attempting to complete the level objective.
It’s a bit silly that despite having three characters, there’s no multiplayer whatsoever. It looks like something made for local co-op.
But there’s only one zombie type, except for the boss zombie of certain levels. The gameplay quickly grows stale.
You can buy permanent weapons, power-ups, and cosmetics for survivors with in-game money earned by killing zombies. Weapons are a decent variety with rather obvious best weapons but power-ups weren’t that useful to me. Cosmetics are fun and diverse, considering the simplistic character models.

It has pretty graphics and ideas but the characters are totally uncontrollable and it is almost imposible to aim the zombies with the keyboard especially when the characters is not running. But it could be good if these issues are fixed.

Cuboid Keeper
Great Indie twin stick shooter, to me has a kind of DOS influence in some aspects which was cool and the game let me play it however I liked. There are some really moreish levels, also feels good when you get your cube set up just right. I feel like the dev put a lot of work into this.

In the vastness of the universe, many things still hold mysteries. You are one of those mysteries, as the guardian of a cube that has floated for eons near the center of the galaxy, rumored to contain knowledge that will allow whoever possesses it the power to rule the universe. It is up to you to protect the cube and the knowledge it holds from all who desire to take it.
Released and Self-Published on Jan 10, 2019, by Developer Ottropi Games.

BULLET PARTY
This is a seemingly straightforward schmup on the surface but it’s just as much a puzzle game. Levels fly at you thick & fast, and you sometimes have just seconds to destroy all the enemies onscreen. However the visuals, whilst retro, are clearly defined & even though you will perish (many times!) it never feels annoying as you get put back in again, forcing you to think quickly & remember what worked & what didn’t.
Kind of unique among the many twin stick shooters out there, and great value. Even the pulsing soundtrack is effective. Get it!
– Real player with 10.5 hrs in game
BULLET PARTY is obviously a bullet hell game. A very hellish bullet game at that.
CONS
1. Gets very hard very easily, but this is to be expected. Bullet hell game after all. (Still annoying.)
2. No level editor. I feel like a level editor would REALLY make this game, especially if you could upload your levels and others could play theeem……………………
1. Very fun experience, with lots of levels.
2. Very fun with friends.
FINAL VERDICT
BULLET PARTY is a very fun game as you can tell. The game can be annoying at times, but it’s worth the money.

Final Days
I have been an pre alpha tester of this game and personally know the developer so please keep this in mind when reading my review.
I have thoroughly enjoyed the testing of this game. It is a simple game mechanic and style that is done very well.
It’s multiplayer is of a very high calibre and I have had some awesome moments while playing with larger groups doing silly things like charging into a room together then relaising how badly you are out number fleeing and closing the door behind you with other members of your team still in a room with a horde :)

Game is entertaining, stable, and well-done for a solo developer. Music is good.
Multiplayer hosting requires a bit of extra work to set up (uPnP or port forwarding), I can see this being a problem for some, but if I managed to do it, you probably can too. Community is rather microscopic, but the bots are actually quite decent. [EDIT: See developer response 25 Jun 2019; Thanks Mike!]
The game is not very expensive and there’s a free demo, so no reason not to try the game at least.
I’m partial to Last Stand game mode, given I like games like Nation Red and Versus Squad, but the other modes are also very good.

A cool action game which has a lot of potential it reminds me of hotline miami only that it is a bit slower which is not bad the blood physics are best and pretty good the art style is also very good I’m looking forward to the other levels in the game to play and maybe a level editor comes into the game or a workshop for maps or mods that would be cool in any case, but otherwise it is absolutely worth the 4.99 good job
