Island Hopping Review

Rating:

What if Canabalt was an FPS? Island Hopping is a great title that basically answers that question. Augmented with an exhilarating scoring system and unique visual minimalism, this is one excellent arcade game that just leaves you in search of that high score

Beautiful Escape: Dungeoneer Review

Rating:

I've never played a low res game that has gotten me this disturbed before. Dungeoneer is both a clever puzzle game and a psychological thriller paying homage to torture porn like Saw and Hostel that should be on everyone's must-play list for this summer.

Nimbus Sky Princess Review

Rating:

A breathtakingly beautiful shooter game that is also a blast to play. However, the gorgeous eye candy did take some liberties with many core shooter traditions that we have grown to love, making the experience of playing this title a bittersweet one.

IdolCraft Review

Rating:

IdolCraft baffles me in almost every way. I'm not even sure if I played it right. I doubt I'm it's target audience, but I still find it hard to recommend to other human beings.

HeroCore Review

Rating:

HeroCore reminds you why you bother downloading and playing these bite-sized chunks of joy we call "indie" games. Sometimes the bite is bland and forgettable; other times, the bite is bitter; then there are times when the bite satisfies.

The Amazing Launchman Review

Rating:

Launchman is a simple game that twists one traditional aspect of platformers - you can't jump, but you can launch yourself in any direction. This very basic premise creates an entertaining title that just screams for more levels.

Crushd Review

Rating:

A puzzle game that plays like Tetris, but instead of building a line, you build a path upwards for our little red friend here, while avoiding getting him crushed beneath the falling bricks. A very simple and fun game betrayed by too steep a learning curve.

Mission Extreme Review

Rating:

Mission Extreme tends the bounds between platformer and retro shooter quite well. It is a simple game, but sometimes simple is enough.

Sorcerer's Maze Review

Rating:

A very simple and addictive puzzle game with an emphasis on exploration and adventure. Beating the level is only a small part of this game - it's finding the secret items and exploring the hidden areas that give this title its charm.

Line Patterns Review

Rating:

Line Patterns is an excellent puzzle game that plays a little like turn-based Snake. The simple and addictive gameplay, together with the psychedelic tessellation of the line patterns you create, makes a great game betrayed only by poor user interface design.
