The game is similar to other 2.5D platforming games – the only difference being that our protagonist doesn’t possess the ability to jump, which is one of the crucial elements in such a genre. During the game, Weldon can move freely around flat surfaces, but in order to jump and counter his opponents, he has to use his invaluable rocket launcher, using it to get a boost in the opposite direction – a technique known in popular online shooters such as Quake or Unreal Tournament as "rocket jump".

These provide the protagonist with useful abilities like, for example, diving. Xeodrifter is strongly influenced by 8-bit games from the genre, including the first entries in the Metroid series. However, the developers included some unusual features. There is only one boss in the game – the player is fighting him many times on each planet (after some time the enemy learns new attacks and actions). Some obstacles can be bypassed by jumping between the first plane of the game and the background.

A mobile turn-based strategy game, created by the team responsible for Swap Heroes. The game is distributed in a free-to-play mode with optional microtransactions. In Swap Cops, we take control of a group of futuristic police officers, battling dangerous criminals. Our team can include twelve heroes, each having unique abilities. Similarly to Swap Heroes, the game is focused around turn-based battles with more and more powerful waves of enemies. What makes the title stand out among other turn-based games is the fact that before each round, the player can make one change in the team roster, while the heroes attack and defend themselves on their own. Despite its appearances, this automatization doesn’t make the game easy, as heroes have many unique abilities, with their positioning being an important factor. Additionally, we cannot afford any manpower losses, and each dead police officer forces us to repeat the battle. Swap Cops is a single-player only title, with online rankings being the only substitute for multiplayer mode. The game sports old-school 2D visuals, with a top-down.
Magic: The Gathering - Puzzle Quest
December 10, 2015
Puzzle, Fantasy, Card Games, Multiplayer, Match-3, Singleplayer.
A 3-match puzzle game, set in the universe of the famous Magic: The Gathering card game, related to the popular Puzzle Quest series by Infinite Interactive. During the game we take on the role of a Planeswalker, who, through spells and summoned creatures, fights with other adepts of magical arts. Duels come down to skillfully placing at least three elements of the same type in a row. Depending on what symbols we combine together, each match can result in, for example, casting a spell or using an object from the inventory. Magic: The Gathering – Puzzle Quest could not, of course, do without typical elements of a card game. Thus, we collect cards during the game that represent characters, spells, artifacts, etc. Then we use them to build our own deck, which is used during a duel allows us to achieve different effects and employ different combat strategies.

The Park
October 27, 2015
Adventure, Exploration Games, FPP, Horror, Singleplayer.
A first-person horror adventure game set in The Secret World’s, a popular MMO title, setting. It was developed by Funcom the studio that, apart from the aforementioned production, created Age of Conan and Dreamfall: The Longest Journey, among other things. The plot of The Park takes us to a theme park surrounded with a dense forest, which brings to mind The Secret World's Atlantic Island Park. While playing, we assume the role of a woman named Lorraine whose son, Callum, went missing during an unfortunate visit to that ghastly place. The player’s task is to naturally find the boy and solve the dark secrets of the eponymous park. Sound effects are extremely important in the gameplay, namely the protagonist’s shouts. The heroine incessantly calls her son and the changes in the timbre of her voice indicate her attitude and emotions.

Piloteer
June 25, 2015
Arcade, Singleplayer.
An arcade game by Fixpoint Productions. You play as an inventor, who succeeded in building a jetpack. Before he shares his invention with the world, however, he needs to test it. The gameplay of Piloteer is set in various locations, and it focuses on increasingly complex challenges. Although the control system is relatively easy (virtual buttons on each side of the screen control the particular engines), the protagonist himself is quite immobile, which impacts the difficulty — one bad move may end in a crash. The game is pleasant to the eye — the visuals resemble a collage made from colorful paper, and the distinct ragdoll effect adds a bit of humor.

Adventure, Crowdfunding, RPG Elements, Indie Games, Internet, Co-op, Multiplayer, Platformers, Action Adventure, Singleplayer, Survival.
The Deer God is an original platform game with roguelike and RPG elements, developed by the independent studio Cinopt Studios in cooperation with Crescent Moon Games. We observe the action from a side-scrolling perspective and play as a hunter who was reborn as a deer. From now on, his most important goal is to survive in a hostile environment. He will also have to do some quests, like growing old, achieving a godlike karma balance, or finding every statuette of knowledge. The game's world is generated procedurally, making that task harder, and the fact that many dangers, like predators, traps, or hunters, await our hero does not make it any easier. Additionally, death is permanent. if our hero dies, we have to start the game all over again, unless we have an heir. If we do, we can play as him after we die. We cannot forget about karma, influenced by our deeds. We can play The Deer God alone or with a friend. In co-op, we have to try our best to survive longer than our competitor. The game has colorful pixel art visuals.

Atlas Reactor

Strategy, Internet, Multiplayer, Science Fiction, Online, Singleplayer, Tactics, Turn-based, Free-to-play.
A turn-based strategy game by Trion Worlds, focused on battles fought between small mercenary groups. The action of Atlas Reactor is set in a futuristic metropolis in which rich investment fund companies fight for influence. Since their employees avoid getting their hands dirty, they hire trained mercenary groups to do the dirty work for them, and the players are the commanders. Each crew consists of several warriors of different personalities and skills. The game takes place in an unusual turn-based system in which all participants have only 20 seconds to issue orders and then the actions take effect simultaneously. Thanks to this solution, the key to success is not only the ability to react quickly but also to predict our enemy’s moves. The title is designed primarily for multiplayer gaming but it can be played solo against bots.
