We play as the leader of a motorcycle gang, who, along with his companions, is being accused of killing the owner of the last remaining company that produces classic motorbikes. Our job is to clear our name and find the actual person responsible for that murder. Audiovisuals of the original game were visibly refreshed and improved.

A tactical RTS set during World War II that expands on the Men of War franchise.

Gates of Hell gives us a wide view on the war, taking us on battlefields of all years and fronts: from snowy plains of USSR to sun-scorched sands of Africa. Gameplay is focused on the tactical layer, without any form of resource gathering or base building. We direct all of our attention to commanding our units, with building being limited to trenches or setting up barbed wire and mine fields. We can also take control of a single soldier and control him like in an action game. One of the strongest elements of the production is realism: the creators have carefully recreated not only appearance, but also battle skills of various armies.

My Memory Of Us uses side-view camera angle to present the world, and the controlled duo must support each other to overcome all obstacles and solve all puzzles. One of the game’s selling points is a simplified dialogue system based on symbols, as well as its setting being inspired by actual life in Poland under German occupation during World War II, especially inside Jewish ghettos. It also stands out with the monochromatic colors of its visuals.

A combination of adventure and arcade games, created by an independent developer known as Infinite Ammo. The player assumes the role of Mae - a cat with paranormal abilities. The protagonist quits her studies and returns to her hometown - Possum Springs, in order to have some quality time with her old friends. The place has fallen into decline since the last mine in town was closed, because the inhabitants have been left without work. What is worse however, is that a neighboring forest has apparently kept some dark secret concealed. The plot serves the role of an parallel to human existence, with themes such as death, transience of all things or longing for certain moments from the past elaborated on throughout the story. The player is required to explore (by jumping across platforms mostly) a unique in-game environment, solve simple puzzles connected to it, talk to NPCs, as well as engage in joyful activities, such as playing the guitar or having fun with the in-game friends. What distinguishes Night in the Woods from other titles, are its visuals based on an original art style - those were crafted by Scott Benson. The unique soundtrack on the other hand, was created by Alec Holowka.

A puzzle and arcade game with an advanced physics engine. In The Enjenir we build various structures from scratch (which have to be strong enough not to fall apart right after the design phase), and we control the hero directly by controlling each of his limbs separately.

Peglin answers the question: what would it be like to take a classic roguelike game, but use Peggle-like mechanics in the battles and spice it up with cute retro 2D graphics?

October 21, 2015

Puzzle, Arcade Elements, Match-3, Singleplayer.

A simple puzzle action game that represents the ‘match-3’ subgenre. It is a mobile spin-off of the jRPG series Yo-Kai Watch known from 3DS consoles. The game, developed for mobile platforms, has different mechanics than the original series. It offers simple, casual gameplay that focuses on moving sets of the title creatures in such way so that at least three yokai of same type are in one row. Success in doing that allows performing attacks during duels with enemies on which the whole game is focused. During the game yokai are constantly fighting in a round container and the player has no time to carefully plan his moves as a good reflex is required for the success. Yo-Kai Watch Wibble Wobble offers story campaign in which the world is divided into few zones. Reaching each of them requires defeating creatures guarding the entrance. During the game new yokais are gradually unlocked and the abilities of already obtained ones improves.
