As a platforming experience that serves up retro challenge without necessarily making the player tear his or her hair out, "RobotRiot" is a sure bet for genre fans. This is like stepping into a time machine and winding up in 1991!
Aha, I think I've cracked the recipe OrangePixel used for creating "Stardash." It goes something like this. Step 1: start with "Super Mario Bros." Step 2: take away everything that helped Mario survive, and see how the player does. Needless to say, you'll want to go into this platformer with a tough-as-nails attitude!
It's such a breath of fresh air to find an infinite side-scroller that doesn't feel like "Robot Unicorn Attack" or "Canabalt" all over again! But do the developers meet their stated goal of unifying casual and hardcore appeal, or fall just short of it?
"Wildlings" is what would happen if the Castle Defense genre ran smack dab into one of those Discovery Channel documentaries that show predators trying to snatch helpless little'uns from their nests.
Whoa, it so happens "Bouncy Mouse" wasn't the last we've heard from stretchy, cheese gobbling heroes! "Up and Up!" really ups the ante on difficulty by comparison, so consider this the most challenging set of flaming hoops you're liable to find for two bucks.
Move over robot unicorns, there's another endless genre in town! Clueless Ideas is hoping "Magic Defenders" will reel in Castle Defense fans for some infinite high score competition, and it's very well designed for the job. But how long can something really last when it's billed as being "endless?"
An imbalanced title if there ever was one! "Desert Quest" packs in gorgeous visuals, variety, smoothly working technicals, and plenty of content. It's set back by the fact that the core of its gameplay is composed of rather lackluster combat and a find-the-needle-in-the-haystack approach to mission objectives.
