Xoldiers Review

Rating:

A well known and respected independent developer, small soldiers, big explosions, strategy elements, and a quirky general to motivate you. Sounds like a recipe for success...and destruction!

Xoldiers is an oldy but a goodie from the developer of VVVVVV.

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.

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.

DarkVerse (Demo) Review

Rating:

The only thing keeping this open-ended space shooter from 5 stars is the fact that is an incomplete DEMO. The complete game should be mind blowing.

Flowearty Review

Rating:

Flowearty follows in the tradition of games like Crayon Physics, but instead of drawing shapes, you copy and paste existing geometry to reach the goal. However, the inadequate instructions betray this clever mechanic and make learning to play difficult.

Island Planet! Review

Rating:

Another in our series of Ludum Dare #17 reviews, Island Planet! is a grand idea that suffers from lack of polish, from lack of time.

Rating:

Artillery Isles Review

Rating:

Another Ludum Dare 17 entry with a nice, fast-paced twist on strategy games. Destroy your enemy's island bases while keeping your own together using resource management and tactical nukes.

Drone Review

Rating:

Drone is an interesting blend of shooter, tower defense and real-time strategy, all packed into an elegant little package. It allows you to shoot enemies, build things to shoot enemies and upgrade to shoot enemies better, what's not to love?
