(Review) Souldiers

Spoonful of death? More like a gallon of the stuff. If you’re up for a challenge in a beautifully crafted world, Souldiers is calling your name. It’s only trying to lure your into a trap to kill you, but now you know that before you jump in…

(Review) Roguebook

While in need of a bit of optimization on the Switch, Roguebook is a pretty fantastic deckbuilder even with the hiccups.

(Impressions) Rhythm Sprout

What do you get when you cross Fruit Ninja with Guitar Hero? Well… I’m not really sure, but it can’t be too far off of what Rhythm Sprout is.

(Review) Slime Fantasy

I think that even if “killing you” platformers aren’t your thing, the low entry price and the love clearly put into Slime Fantasy is worth a try.

(Impressions) Panzer Arena

Aside from being fun, Panzer Arena makes me feel like I’m playing with my military Micro Machines again.

(Reveiw) Cannon Brawl

It’s good to have Cannon Brawl back in my life and I’m excited to be able to play a strategy game with my kids that they can pick up and not be overwhelmed with while enjoying it myself.

(Review) Roll For the Galaxy

“… if you are a sucker for digital board games you can play solo and/or with your friends, Roll for the Galaxy is a safe and easy bet.”

(Impressions) Dreamscaper

Rougelites are aplenty almost everywhere now and developers need something to set themselves apart. Afterburner Studios has crafted something different here with Dreamscaper and they’ve done it well.

(Review) The Ambassador: Fractured Timelines

There is a fair bit of use to the time-stopping ability that stops it from feeling like a gimmick and I’m happy to see they struck that note just right.

(Review) Tiny Little Kingdoms

An app on the phone that feels like an actual game and not some gimmicky, shallow version of something you’d want to play elsewhere? Yes!

(Review) Broken Lines

The game mechanics alone are fantastic and the “stop your action phase when an enemy is spotted” feels so right I wonder why it wasn’t implemented in more games in the genre.

(Impressions) Puzzle Pelago – A Drag & Drop Economy

The art design and gameplay mechanics work so well together that when combined with the music… I don’t think I’ve enjoyed being as frustrated in a long time.

(Impressions) Record of Lodoss War – Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth

Maybe it’s the “pixelated Metroidvania” aspect of the game, but I felt right at home.

(Impressions) Sky Cannoneer

Updates and Stuff

-(2/3/24) I have returned to coding Mazungeon 1.5. Redoing the first was too daunting a task so I’m remaking it with a better look and smoother controls.
-While patching my first game Mazungeon, I broke it so it’s off the Play store. You can see on the site what it was like when it worked. You can also play a previous version here.

-Thank you to all developers and PR people who make this wild ride possible. It is a pleasure!
