Card Thief
March 19, 2017
Puzzle, Fantasy, Card Games, Singleplayer, Stealth.
Card Thief is an original mixture of card and stealth games developed by Tinytouchtales. We play as an experienced thief who has four heists to do. The contents of particular heists is randomly generated so that we can replay them many times. During our missions we will have to hide in the shadows, put off torches, avoid being detected, and steal valuable items. Our actions, events, characters, and items are presented like in a card game. Each level is accompanied by a deck of ten cards randomly assigned from a set created by the developers. Our job is to use them to create a path for our thief that will lead him safely to our mission objective. Cards activated by the player also influence the game. They represent our equipment and skills, and we use them to change the situation during a given mission. The game also has a Light System that decides if our character should be detected, and character progression mechanics. The game's eye-pleasing 2D visuals were designed by Max Fiedler. Soundtrack was composed by Oliver Salkic.

Infinite Mini Golf
July 25, 2017

A first-person sports game, created mainly for VR goggles and developed by ZEN Studios. It is a sequel to 2010 Planet Minigolf. This game represents a very arcade approach to golf, although quick fingers are not the only thing that is necessary during the game. The developers implemented a rather realistic physics system which means that, in order to succeed, we need practice, skills and knowledge of the game mechanics. Infinite Golf represents an unusual version of this sport because matches take place on rather unconventional fields, e.g. near a haunted house, ice land or a track made out of cardboard boxes. We can test our skills in various single and multiplayer modes. Additionally we can also customize the appearance of our player by buying additional costumes and accessories.

Action, Fantasy, Internet, jRPG, Multiplayer, Time Travel, Singleplayer, Turn-based, Nintendo Exclusive.
The third version of the second entry in the jRPG series from Level-5, after Bony Spirits and Fleshy Souls. Players again take control of Nathan or Katie, who suffered from the attack of a mysterious Yo-kai (supernatural being). The spirit erased memories of heroes and their Yo-kai friends, forcing both characters to once again take the special watch that lets them communicate with those beings and try to find the culprit. Yo-kai Watch 2: Psychic Specters lets us revisit the city of Springdale, which we can freely explore. Gameplay focuses on performing tasks given by non-playable characters and turn-based battles against Yo-kai. Those can be befriended after defeating them to use their powers in future fights. Interestingly, players can choose one of two paths to progress the story – there are storylines and exclusive missions not present in two previous incarnations of the game. The single player campaign is accompanied by enhanced, cooperation-based multiplayer Oni Blasters Mode, as well as competitive module – players can fight each other through local wireless network.

An original game that can be treated as a hacking simulator created by a Canadian studio called Alice & Smith.

The gameplay in NITE Team 4 is divided into three phases: the first one is a recon, during which we gather useful information; the second is based on exploration and allows us to get passwords to e-mail accounts or, for example, systems that check fingerprints; in the third phase we coordinate land units and provide them with necessary equipment that they can use during fights and infiltration of enemy bases. A characteristic feature of this game is the use of terminology that comes from the revealed NSA documents and the fact that STINGER system was based on real Kali Linux / Metasploit software.

We get a set of 135 cards inspired by the Lich King’s army and the theme of death, including nine cards of a completely new type – Hero Cards. After using them, our hero changes into a Death Knight, gets a new portrait, war cry, ability, and a few points of armor which allows us to change our play style.

Sports, 2D, Arcade Elements, Golf, Indie Games, Internet, Multiplayer, Splitscreen, Singleplayer, Free-to-play.
Super Stickman Golf 3 is another installment in the 2D arcade games series started in 2011 by Noodlecake. Just like in the previous games in the series, the developers have taken a not-too-serious approach to the rather snobbish and old-fashioned sport. There are twenty types of golf courses available in the game: from Sherwood forests, through deserts, and all the way to arctic glaciers. Players will have to place the ball in a hole with the smallest number of hits. As we play, we will encounter many different obstacles, like trapdoors, traps, portals, etc. We can play as one of the thirty five available characters, such as mummy, surgeon, or sunbather. There are many different bonuses available in the game, like cards that will level up our character or their equipment. The game has colorful visuals. Super Stickman Golf 3 has a multiplayer mode that allows the player to compete in real-time or in turns.

The players can unlock over 40 models of ships, armed with a diverse arsenal – starting from machine guns and cannons all the way to rocket launchers and depth charges. The players participate in dynamic team battles, each team having several ships at its command. For each success on the battlefield, one receives experience points, which they can spend on developing the fleet’s equipment and unlocking more and more powerful vessels. The players can also acquire in-game currency that can be spent on new gear. The game is based on a free-to-play model and features an optional microtransactions system - the Premium content offers unique ships, visual upgrades, flags, and components that improve the ships’ statistics.

Sara is Missing features unique gameplay mechanics – the User Interface looks like a mobile operating system and what you do is solve puzzles and talk to people from the phone’s contact list. Messages, notes, pictures, and videos found in the phone’s memory can help you out with this, and so can the in-game assistant. What adds to the game’s originality are the unusual graphics, made to look like a standard smartphone operating system.
