    Cubemen 2 Review

    By

    Last year's Cubemen put an intriguing spin on the tower defense genre, by allowing players to essentially position units around a blocky map and wait for the enemy to come knocking. With Cubemen 2, developer Three Sprockets hasn't exactly shaken up the original release, nor has it hindered the tried and tested formula.

    The Swapper Review

    By

    I've been known to indulge in the occasional indie puzzle-platformer or five, so The Swapper looked right up my street. Turns out I wasn't wrong either - while the underlying concept of using clones to solve puzzles made for multiple people isn't exactly unique, the gorgeous art design coupled with the distilled rooms of puzzling glory make for an experience that sticks with you for days to come.

    SlamBots Review

    By

    Quite honestly, I didn't "get" SlamBots at first. I booted up the game, bounced around for a while, died rather quickly, and wondered what the heck all of that was about. I tried again, and received essentially the same results. And then again, and again, and perhaps a few more times as well.

    Dust: An Elysian Tail Review

    By

    Sometimes you play a game that simply blows you away from the get-go: impressing both in terms of visuals and gameplay. Then you discover that the majority of the game was created by a single person, and the gravity of the experience knocks you off your feet just a little bit more.

    Rush Bros. Review

    By

    If I told you that Rush Bros. took the platforming style of Super Meat Boy, with traps generated based on the music tracks you import into the game - plus a multiplayer mode reminiscent of Sonic 2 - then you may well jump onto the opportunity without reading the rest of this review. But that would be an unwise move, as Rush Bros. doesn't exactly deliver on its promise. There's definite potential in the level design and the focus on speed runs, but the controls simply aren't tight enough, and the music import feature is pretty flaky.

    Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxe Review

    By

    Sometimes you play a game so simple yet so effective that it leaves you wondering why no one has done it before. Meet Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxe, a sort of Tetris match-3 and platformer mash-up that gives as good as it gets. With twinges of Spelunky in there too, this fast-paced, quick-thinking blaster will kill you every few minutes, and yet you'll keep coming back for more. The soundtrack is sublime, the controls are spot-on, and the challenge is very, very real. What I'm saying is, you're going to love this game.

    Mini Motor Racing EVO Review

    By

    Have you ever played a racing game that handled so poorly that it actually went full circle, with the controls suddenly becoming a sort of unique difficulty curve to the game? No, of course you haven't - such a thing can't possibly exist. Well, until now that is. Imagine having to race using the Warthog from Halo. Then crank up the drift-o meter just that little bit extra, and you've got Mini Motor Racing EVO. Although it initially feels sloppy, this Micro Machines-inspired racer slowly begins to win your trust as you plug away at its mental controls.

    IMPOSSIBLE ROAD Review

    By

    Remember Peach's Slide from Super Mario 64? Mario would go shooting down on his bottom, grabbing coins along the way, and making sure not to fall off the edges. However, if you could take a dive at the right moment, it was possible to fall onto another section of the slide below, and shave entire seconds off your time. This is the basis for Impossible Road, a new mobile game that will make you rip your hair out much in the same way that Super Hexagon did before it. It may be a little too based on luck for my liking, but that doesn't stop this minimalist game from being one hell of a rush.
