A Bird Story

A Bird Story

While it is set in the same universe as To The Moon, A Bird Story is a standalone narrative with its own beginning and end. It is a very short experience with minimal interaction and no dialogue, but the beautiful music and thought-provoking scenes make it worthwhile. It’s definitely not going to be everyone’s cup of tea, though, so don’t expect it to be a To The Moon sequel.

Gameplay: Short and linear with very little interaction.

Graphics: The same 16-bit style as To The Moon.

Sound: No voice acting, but the soundtrack is beautiful

Roundguard

Roundguard

It would be easy to dismiss Roundguard as a Peggle clone, but this is far from the case. While it uses the same addictive formula as Popcap’s title, the developers have wrapped it up in a full-fledged dungeon crawler complete with health, enemies, bosses, and loot. Roundguard is also not a game you’ll complete once and be done with, as the roguelike elements, character classes, relics, and randomized elements boost its replay value. The game has a surprising amount of depth but is simple enough to understand that even casual players will have a blast.

Gameplay: The game is easy to pick up and play but addictive enough to keep you hooked.

Graphics: Roundguard features charming characters, and even the enemies look great.

Sound: The audio consists of catchy music and upbeat sound effects
