(Kickstarter Highlight) Savior

 I know I haven’t posted anything lately and that’s because I’ve been putting my efforts into my own game.

(Review) Warhammer: Chaosbane

“… wherever you are, whoever’s face your blade meets, it’s still a joy to kill all of the things and that fact helps me gloss over a lot of the issues I have with the game.”

(Review) 10,000,000

Match-3 games are a dime a dozen, so it’s nice when one stands out as having more thought put into it.

(Review) Swag & Sorcery

Swag & Sorcery appeared to be everything I’ve wanted out of a management/RPG sim, but ends up working like any other number of grindy phone apps that I’ve begrudgingly deleted after a few days.

(Review) Gunpowder on The Teeth: Arcade

I love the aesthetics, but hate the barbed wire. If you’re up for a platforming challenge… here you go!

(Review) BLAZEBLUE CENTRALFICTION: Special Edition

BLAZBLUE CENTRALFICTION: Special Edition’s Stylish mode allows me to pull off all sorts of crazy-looking moves and makes me feel good about myself. Then my four-year old defeats me. Still worth it!

(Review) JackQuest: The Tale of The Sword

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!
