Typomancer in the Feather’s Way

Typomancer in the Feather’s Way

A very different proposal with a very frantic gameplay this is Typomancer. At first I thought that having to type in the middle of a game would make for a strange experience, but I was totally wrong. The fact of typing brought something quite innovative, where we can have frantic moments when it is necessary to type very fast or even moments when we can prepare for the worst by anticipating typing. I really liked the game’s proposal in combination with the effects. 10/10.

The game has a very nice experience, with a very well polishing done and with a very interesting cost-benefit.

ASTRA

ASTRA

A.S.T.R.A. - a game made in 2D hand-drawn graphics, which is a collection of various mini-games in different genres.

Do you like exciting arcade games, set a new record, and pain in your eyes? Then I suggest giving this game a try!

ASTRA - artificial intelligence that controls the system in the computer space, which was captured by the virus “B” , the purpose of which is complete destruction of the OS. From time to time he will get in touch and try to do something wrong. You take on the role of a simple user facing an infection. Your goal is clear - reset the system by destroying the virus. However, the virus encrypts all the data from your eyes and does not allow it to be done so easily, and in addition, it takes a fee for each action with an impromptu currency, which will have to be earned in games in various genres. Choose a game, buy it, wait for it to load and voila! It’s on your desktop. Everything is almost like in life.

Several mini-games are waiting for you, which will definitely not let you get bored, and will challenge you to a new record.

In Platform Hero you have to literally survive using a grappling hook and a firearm, clinging to platforms. But this will not last long: the hook does not hold up, and the platform keeps dropping. It’s time to catch on to another, but no matter how it is: the enemy is moving towards the hero. It’s time to use your weapon.

Another mini-game in the space network is Planetoids . The goal is the same - to get points, simultaneously destroying asteroids. Here you have complete control over the ship, and the asteroids themselves are split into pieces, which can be caught game over once again.

Dino Island - a runner in which you play as a dinosaur. You have to jump over stones and trees and periodically turn into a pterodactyl, also flying around obstacles.

Gude! Jump n Run

Gude! Jump n Run

This simple 2D glowing cat game is exactly what I was looking for. Simple, no storyline, just shining cats illuminating the dark and finding butterflies.

The good- easy to play, simple mechanics, very enjoyable.

The bad- There aren’t that many levels in this game. You might get at max 6 hours out of the game, but you will smile the whole time.

Upon getting this game, I was confronted with an okay-ish platformer with a decent, if rough, control scheme.

Upon getting to the later levels of the game, I was confronted with ‘Com(m)ing soon’ for one of the levels. I assumed it was labeled such because I needed to collect the collectible butterflies (I was on 38/45 required at the time), but as it turns out, after collecting the butterflies? No, the level is still under construction.

This game has a single piece of music to its soundtrack, no sound effects, and frankly, is INCOMPLETE. While I could forgive the first two issues as being part of the game’s style and theme, the incompleteness means I can’t possibly recommend this. Nothing indicates that the game lacks all levels. There’s no warning on the store page, the game’s not in early access, so… what?

Bots Are Stupid

Bots Are Stupid

A 2D game where you try to maneuver robots through different platforming levels. It sets itself apart from conventional platformers by offering an alternative, more precise way of user input. Instead of directly controlling the character’s movement, the player has to write a set of simple instructions telling his robot what to do. The bot will then follow those instructions precisely and maybe (or maybe not) finish the level.

Beginner-friendly

The commands for the robots are designed to be as simple as possible in order to make the game accessible to anyone. This means that you are not required to have any prior programming/tech knowledge to be able to “program” the bots. The game might also have an educational value by introducing players to the very basics of scripting/programming in a playful way.

Features

  • 18 uniquely challenging Platformer Levels

  • Ultra-precise control by writing instructions

  • Grappling hook, Speed boosters, Conveyor belts

  • Level Editor + Level Sharing

  • Global Leaderboards of each level’s best scripts

  • Infinite supply of bots!

Discord Rich Me! (Custom Rich Presence)

Discord Rich Me! (Custom Rich Presence)

Works great! Easy to use and so far it has basically no bugs. The only thing that needs to be done is add the all the templates.

EDIT:

Now that i have over 1000 hours in Discord Rich Me, I can confidently recommend this program to any user who wants just an extra little touch to there Discord profile. One of the great things about Discord Rich Me is that you just start it, minimise it to your tray, and forget about it. I have Discord Rich Me running 24/7 on a spare Windows 7 Laptop i have thats over 16 years old and there is 0 performance change. The community in the Discord server is friendly and can provide help if you need it. 10/10 program, 100% worth the money.

Please understand that Discord Rich Me! is currently in BETA. It’s still missing a ton of features, but they have a lot of things planned according to their discord.

Review

As a very prominent and long time Discord user, Discord Rich Me! provides, as of April 19 2021 (19/04/21) a very straightforward interface, with some helpful (though subtle) guides on what every single textbox function does.

At the very least it provides very basic rich presence functionality, but very much so simplifies all of the painful steps it takes to make a rich presence. I do understand that this is still in beta though, and I will re-review once more features have been added over time.

Type:Rider

Come take a journey through typography and learn a little about the origins of literacy. This sounds like it would be a blast… and it is: at first. But that’s for later.

Type:Rider is an interesting platforming game that has you controlling a colon. You jump slide, bounce, etc through levels collecting the alphabet while avoiding various dangers. The difficulty scales the further you progress.

The story aspect of the game was quite fascinating. I learned a lot about fonts, and where they came from through this game. It reinforced certain things I had learned before and added more details to them as well. Type:Rider can be a very fun game for exploring this piece of culture.

Can I nominate this for an utter crap award?

Ok, so the game is f&#*ing beautiful (mostly in the beginning) and the typography story, while going waaaaay outside typography, is fascinating. Play a little game, read a little story. If that were it I’d give it 5 stars and nominate it for sainthood. But, it goes down hill. Waaay down hill. At breakneck speed. With no controls to speak of. Actually… that’s a pretty good description of the game, but I’ll do it justice.

You play as two dots, possibly a colon with a balance problem or an ellipsis amputee. Maybe a homeless umlaut. And you slide back and forth with the cursor keys or the ‘a’ and ’d' keys. Understood, common, no vertical controls, but space to jump. Simple, right? No. You see you only control one of the dots and drag the other around. This is a huge problem because you can’t see which one you’re controlling and the Unity physics engine gives it weight (a little typographical humor there). You can also wall jump, but what constitutes pressing against the wall seems to be up in the air and often goes the opposite of what you expect. In fact getting stuck on the scenery and terrain (which are often indistinguishable) is also a problem. And the scenery/terrain doesn’t really use the physics engine. It won’t push you, it will crush you against the air instantly.
