Slither.io
March 25, 2016
Arcade, Internet, Multiplayer, Online, Free-to-play.
Co-developed by Steve Howse and Thorntree Studios, an arcade game resembling the popular mobile and browser hit Agar.io. During the game you are in control of a small snake which grows by eating bright points. Apart from yours, there are other snakes on the map and in order to win, you have to eat what remains of the bigger ones. The only problem is that they die only if they touch other creatures with their heads, so your objective is to maneuver your snake in a way that will make others run into you. This can be achieved with a number of techniques. There is no final purpose to the game, so you can play till the Earth stops turning. Similarly to the aforementioned production by M28 studio, Slither.io features minimalistic visuals. Even though they are simple, they still can give an ample scope for showing your brains and skill.

A sandbox RPG which is a stand-alone version of a MMORPG Wurm Online. Both titles use the same technology, gameplay mechanics, and content.

The players can also change the area around them, by e.g. cutting trees, or digging holes in the ground. A complex crafting system allows for resource gathering and constructing items, buildings, or even entire cities. Combat in Wurm Unlimited takes place in real time, and is slightly arcade in nature.

Shadow Bug
April 4, 2016
Arcade, 2D, Indie Games, Platformers, Singleplayer.
A mobile platform game from an independent Finish studio Muro, which evolved from a simple but successful project initiated by a few Alto University students. In Shadow Bug, we assume the role of a militant worm armed with two swords. The protagonist's job is to clear the forest of the hostile bugs and other opponents. During the gameplay, we traverse successive levels, in which we meet a whole bunch of different enemies and a large number of traps, which often require some cleverness. The hero can move left or right only, sometimes pushing static objects, but he has a spectacular way of dealing with opponents – his style of fighting is reminiscent of a ninja fighter. After finishing each stage, we receive a rating in form of stars, whose number depends on, among others, the time elapsed and the number of gathered gleaming balls. Shadow Bug has a characteristic graphic layer – only the backgrounds are colored, while the whole foreground, along with the hero and his enemies, is presented in black.

We have have five weapon slots: melee weapons (i.e. an axe), small arms (pistol, crossbow, etc.), large guns (shotgun, flamethrower), explosives and special items, i.e. atomic bomb. We begin with level 1 weapons, but we can get money by killing our opponents, which we then can spend on higher tier weapons. Square Heroes also has character progression mechanics.

Most of the time, we control a coast guard unit, seen from a third-person perspective. Our ship is sometimes supported by a smaller boat, of which we assume control during certain emergencies. Additionally, Coast Guard introduces an ability to disembark the boat in order to search an island, or a room on an oil rig. In such cases, the game switches to a FPP mode, and we have to use available items to solve encountered problems, similarly to adventure games. Coast Guard employs three-dimensional visuals, but their quality is not a highlight of the game.

Your job is to maneuver these objects so that they adjust correctly at the right moment, which unlocks another location. Moreover, the hero also jumps on the platforms, faces opponents (using melee weapons or magic bullets), or sneaks behind their backs.

No Thing
April 7, 2016
Arcade, Auto-runner, Experimental/artistic, FPP, Indie Games, Polish, Science Fiction, Singleplayer.
A surrealistic arcade game from the Polish Evil Indie Games studio, set in an alternate version of the year 1994. It shows a grim, retrofuturistic vision of future, as imagined in the 70’s. In the age of a totalitarian regime that tries to break all opposition, we play as an ordinary clerk, who is given the task of delivering a message to someone known as the Ice Queen. Gameplay-wise, No Thing is a rather classic arcade game from the endless runner genre, where we observe world from the perspective of our hero, who automatically runs through narrow, floating paths. We must turn at correct moments to remain on the track and avoid colliding with obstacles. Game offers a campaign (with a very twisted plot) mode or an endless mode, the latter with a never-ending path and us trying to go as far as possible.

Another installment in the platformer series for Nintendo 3DS.

Star Fox Guard
April 21, 2016
Strategy, Science Fiction, Singleplayer, Tower Defense, Nintendo Exclusive.
A strategy tower defense game and a spin-off to the popular series of TPP shooters that were available on many Nintendo consoles. The main character of Star Fox Guard is Grippy Toad (uncle of Slippy Toad, one of the series' main protagonists) whose job it is to mine rare minerals. Various enemies are trying to interrupt him and the player is tasked with stopping them. The gameplay mechanics are typical for a tower defense genre, but the also game makes use of the possibilities offered by the WiiU console. During the game, an interactive map of the area appears on the gamepad. The player can use it to set up security cameras that will shoot at the incoming enemies. At the same time, on the TV screen, one can see the images coming from all twelve cameras. In addition to one hundred scenarios prepared by the developers, the game also contains an editor that allows the player to create new ones. Star Fox Guard is added for free as a bonus to Star Fox Zero, but it can also be bought separately.
Hyperide
February 3, 2016
Arcade, 2.5D, Auto-runner, Indie Games, Space, Polish, Science Fiction, Singleplayer, Free-to-play.
A space arcade game from the endless runner genre, developed by Kool2Play. At first sight, Hyperide resembles classic space shooters that were once popular in the arcades. We control a small space ship that keeps flying upwards through levels filled with enemies and dangers. However, the gameplay strays from other similar games with one important feature: our ship doesn’t have any weapons mounted, meaning that our only choice is to avoid collisions with incoming objects. Hyperide offers two different game modes. The first one revolves around completing certain objectives within the levels with clearly defined beginning and end. The other one is infinite mode, where threats are generated randomly, our space track never ends, and the game goes on indefinitely until our ship is destroyed.

February 3, 2016
Arcade, Platformers, Singleplayer, Free-to-play.
A mobile 2D platformer game, based on a free-to-play model (with optional microtransactions) and created by the Polish studio QubicGames. The action takes place in a magical realm and the player assumes the role of a gnome who must rescue a kidnapped princess. Geki Yaba Runner is a runner type of platformer, so the character runs automatically through levels full of dangers. Controls include only jumping and gliding at the right moment in order to avoid threats or collect socks scattered throughout the levels. The gnome can also transform for brief amount of time into a strong beast or a very fast athlete when you have to deal with harder stages. Instead of traditional bosses, the game offers special levels in castles where you must survive despite of dangerous illusions. Geki Yaba Runner is a difficult title, especially when it comes to beating scores in online leaderboards.

Space Marshals 2
August 25, 2016
Action, Science Fiction, Singleplayer, Tactics, Western.
A sequel to the tactical shooter that combined science fiction and the Western genre. Just like the first installment, Space Marshals 2 is an episodic game developed by Swedish mobile game developer Pixelbite (creators of the Reckless Racing series and Xenowerk shooter). The player once again becomes a space marshal who takes on numerous dangerous criminals. In terms of gameplay mechanics, the sequel is very similar to its predecessor. Therefore, we get a top-down shooter enriched by multiple tactical options. In order to clear the levels from various opponents the hero has to sneak, silently kill unaware enemies, and use cover. When it comes to open combat, he can use a wide arsenal of fire weapons and lethal gadgets (e.g. grenades). From time to time, the protagonist also fights with powerful bosses – winning against them usually requires adopting the right tactic. Space Marshals 2 is played on a variety of levels whose setting can be described as a technologically advanced version of the Wild West.
