Nefarious
Nefarious

0.0 Game Score

Developed by the small studio StarBlade, a classic 2D platformer. Unlike other platformers in which you, most commonly, save the world, Nefarious enables you to take control of a villain who tries to capture the princesses of five kingdoms and defeats hordes of knights and heroes who defend their kingdoms. Gameplay consists of jumping, avoiding obstacles, and of course fighting. However, the main anti-hero is not armed to the teeth.

Hockey Stars

0.0 Game Score

A web-based hockey arcade game, focusing on pvp gameplay. Hockey stars utilizes the free-to-play model with optional microtransactons. Like the previous Miniclip's production, Soccer Stars, Hockey Stars is a simple game inspired by coin football. Two five-person teams are pitted against each other and their task is to put the puck in the opponent's goal. The puck bounces of the edges of the pitch, but can also be controlled by the player, which allows for more precise strikes.

Genital Jousting

0.0 Game Score

Genital Jousting is an unusual party game developed by Free Lives and published by Devolver Digital. We take part in various minigames, with up to eight players in local or online mulitplayer mode. What is unusual about the game is that we are controlling flaccid penises with wiggly anuses. Our "protagonist" can be dressed up in various clothes which will make him somewhat unique and easy to distinguish among the other "characters" controlled by the rest of the players.

Super Cat Bros.
Super Cat Bros.

0.0 Game Score

A 2D mobile platform game, utilizing the free-to-play model with microtransactions. Super Cat Bros. is based on oldschool platform games, so the plot is not of much importance. You play a cat named Alex, who has to find his five siblings on a mysterious island, and find a way to travel back home. You have to complete small 2D levels by fighting enemies and avoiding various dangers. One level may take you a few minutes, but you often need more than just one try, as they are difficult to beat.

Specter of Torment is a free DLC for the fan-favorite platform game Shovel Knight, developed by Yacht Club Games. This time, we play as a new protagonist, the titular Specter. The expansion takes place before the events of the base game. In terms of gameplay, Specter of Torment is identical to the base game, combining the elements of a 2D platformer, an RPG, and an action-adventure game. Once again, we observe the game from a side perspective.

LocoRoco Remastered is, as the title suggests, a remastered version of the 2006 platform game that was released on PlayStation Portable. Gameplay focuses on shaking the pieces of the LocoRoco's world in order to move the game's spherical heroes to their destination points. We have to be careful though. There are many traps and obstacles that will make our job harder to do. In order to beat or avoid them, we have to rely on our heroes' specific abilities.

A continuation of an arcade game intended for Xbox One with Kinect 2.0 user interface.

Our job is to direct the ball to various elements found on the playfield, exploding after they contact the ball.

An original combination of strategy and arcade games, delivered by Hypersect - an independent developer. The players assume the role of white and black vehicles that move on the surface of a monochromatic map resembling a chessboard.
