The Last Cadet
A mission gone wrong, an ancient monster awaken!
A private military company is hired to escort a laboratory team in a submarine to recover a valuable specimen near an abandoned deep sea facility. As the laboratory team and part of the military personnel explore the target site, things go wrong almost immediately. An ancient monster attacks the submarine and sinks it, ruining the submarine’s communication links. A mere cadet, John “Flash Pan” Pinback is the team’s last hope at survival as the only escape route is a mini-sub that’s in bad need of replacement parts, which Flash Pan can find and fix. Meanwhile, Captain Valeria Buenrostro must search the submarine and target site to save her squad members while dealing with constant sabotage from an unknown source.
Twin-stick action-driven survival horror in a 1-bit, deep sea metroidvania!
Play the individual stories of Flash Pan and Captain Buenrostro to discover the truth behind the ill-fated mission and unravel the not so abandoned deep sea facility, all the while surviving the wrath of an ancient monster and a submarine filled with mutated versions of electric eels, jellyfish, and sharks.
Make the most of available resources and dive into an array of weapons with unique ways to use them!
Light is scarce with the only sources being the few working lamps, resident bioluminescent marine life, and the deep sea suit. Use twin stick controls to survive the horrors that are drifting in the darkness with multiple weapons, some of which can be used in unique ways like dashing with the harpoon gun, high jumping with the shotgun’s recoil, and busting open stuck doors with a flamethrower-like welding kit.
Play with a friend and sink together into a world 20,000 pixels below normalcy …

Aqua Boy
A 2 hour long metroidvania that feels like a cross between metroid, aquaria, and MS Paint. For the given price it is worth it, especially on sale.
The good:
-
music
-
progression
-
metroidvania feel
-
controls
The bad:
-
No warp (hence lots of unnecessary backtracking)
-
Too easy
-
Choppy framerate (unity lag)
edit: To the creator of this game: Please try contacting the creator of Aggelos, he will probably be able to help you make the framerate smooth.

A mastery of game design! Swim deep into the depths of the ocean to learn more about the legendary underwater city of Pathandor, and the curse that made it succumb. Also notice the fantastic 2D animation of the enemies (particularly a terrifying giant octopus). If I had to describe Aquaboy in one word, I’d have to say “Humor, mermaids, banana guns, and monkeys” you can’t just describe a game this good in only one word!
You MUST play this game!

SUBS: Sharks And Submarines
Don’t be fooled by this games vibrant innocent graphics, this ain’t for the faint hearted. As I began my adventure into the depths of the ocean I looked back and reflected upon my time playing Osu, realising how belittled it had become in the back of my mind. The truth is, this game doubles as an aim trainer. The further I progressed through the game the more I found myself relying on the pertinence of flick shots. This game combines a comedic 8 bit art style with a tactical decision making process. A must buy for gamer enthusiasts looking to add an awesome game to their arsenal. After only 2 hours the original soundtrack is already stuck in my head, beautiful.

Well, what to say. This is definitely worth the 5€ it asks you.
The gameplay is just inventive, and it will asks you to get every brain cell to focus on what’s happening.
There’s a lot of really cool mechanics, the shop is great, the humor is great, everything is.
This is definitely a 11/10, plus the game is sure promising for the local multiplayer.
Bravo!
