Zombie Match Defense
October 22, 2015
Puzzle, Strategic Elements, Match-3, Singleplayer, Tower Defense, Zombie.
A mobile "match-3" logic game enriched with strategy elements associated with the tower defense genre. Jake Sones, a former employee at Blizzard Entertainment, is the game's co-creator. The player's goal is to defend scientist against hordes of zombies. A path leads to each of the eggheads and several kinds of brains are distributed throughout it; these attract zombies that in turn, eat them. The player's task is to combine three identical brains into groups, which makes them disappear, and as a result, the same happens to zombies willing to eat them. Combining the brains together earns the player points that allow them to unleash different special powers, such as immobilizing the enemy for a specified period of time. The pace of gameplay in Zombie Match Defense is slow, however, for the zombies move only after the player does. On the other hand, the game is not easy and requires good planning. Zombie Match Defense offers hilarious visuals.

Baseball Riot
November 1, 2016, End of Life
Puzzle, 2D, Baseball, Arcade Elements, Singleplayer.
A hilarious arcade/logic game which is the successor to the popular Tennis in the Face, created by the same developer - 10tons. The player assumes the role of the legendary player, Gabe Carpaccio, who finishes his sports career as a result of an accident and begins to sell sports equipment instead. However, the protagonist's retirement is not a happy one, because a ruthless corporation known as Explodz, which had bought Gabe's former team by having addicted its players to an aggression-inducing beverage, wishes to do the same to all the inhabitants of the town. Facing this threat, Gabe abandons his peaceful existence and reaches for a baseball bat in order to save his former colleagues and the innocent citizens alike. In each level, the player's goal is to eliminate enemies by hitting them with balls. What makes it more difficult is the fact that enemies hide themselves behind obstacles, which requires the player to make good use of the rebound effect and take advantage of environmental objects placed on the maps.

100ft Robot Golf
November 1, 2016, End of Life
Sports, Arcade Elements, Golf, Internet, Mechs, Multiplayer, PlayStation VR, Splitscreen, Singleplayer, VR.
An unconventional, arcade sports game created by No Goblin, specifically for PlayStation VR. The game presents an original variation on the classic golf, casting the player in the role of a pilot controlling a powerful robot. The robot's main goal is to place the ball in a hole that is located far away. The entire action takes place on bizarre maps, such as a city center, the surface of the Moon or mountain peaks. Because the robots are gigantic, particular environmental objects are destructible, which allows for numerous crazy actions. The player can also hit the ball with a club of another robot standing in the "golf course" as well. Apart from the single-player campaign, the creators also included a multiplayer component. The players can compete against one another either online or in the split-screen mode.

Action, 2D, Beat 'em Up, Fantasy, Singleplayer.
A two-dimensional action game developed for mobile platforms powered by Android and iOS. Sdorica was created by Rayark, a studio known for Implosion: Never Lose Hope, among other games.

The player’s task is to explore two-dimensional locations, conquer obstacles, collect items, and face various monsters. The combat system is purely arcade so the primary factors are reflex and timing instead of complicated tactics. The solo campaign is enriched with intense boss encounters. Contrary to most enemies, their defeat takes more planning and finding their weak spots.

A Good Snowman Is Hard To Build
November 1, 2016, End of Life
Puzzle, 2D, Indie Games, Singleplayer.
A Good Snowman Is Hard To Build is an unusual logic game developed by the indie studio Draknek. As the title suggests, we will be building snowmen. We play as a monster that rolls balls of snow and sets them in the right order. Each snowman is made of three snowballs. The biggest one forms its base, the medium one works as its torso, and the smallest one is its head. Our task is not as easy as it may seem. There are many obstacles in our snowballs’ way. We have to maneuver them to avoid those obstacles, collect as much snow as possible to make our snowballs bigger, and put them in the right order. It has to be mentioned that we do not always build our snowmen from scratch. From time to time we will have to fix the already existing ones. The game has simple yet charming visuals.
