After playing side-scrolling puzzle-platformer, Terrian Saga: KR-17 it was very apparent that the guys from Wonderfling had a passion for the genre. They managed to faithfully capture the essence of classic games such as Commander Keen and Bio Menace while injecting their own ideas into the mix. We were lucky enough to catch up with Greg McKnight to find out more about this talented studio

So Many Me is one of the most adorable, not to mention challenging puzzle/platform titles we played this year. It features a cast of cute characters and a vibrant gameworld, but isn’t afraid to provide you with a rigorous mental workout.

If navigating tricky obstacle courses at high speed while controlling an overweight action figurine sounds like fun you definitely won’t want to miss out on Action Henk.

We checked out the rather fun voxel based online first person shooter, Blockstorm, a while back and it won us over with its addictive gameplay. The focus on easy character customization and level design also allows players to really personalize their experience. The game is still in Early Access and the developers are hard at work on the next update, but community manager Luca Eberhart was kind enough to quickly answer some of our questions

It is not every day that we get to experience Greek-themed first person adventures, so Depths of Fear :: Knossos impressed us despite some rough edges. The unique atmosphere and interesting blend of stealth and action certainly provides a very memorable experience. Surprisingly enough it is the work of just one person, so we had to get in touch and find out more

The Last Door – Collector’s Edition might have had us almost jumping out of our skins a few times, but the compelling story kept us coming back for more. It is not often that a point & click adventure, especially one with intentionally low resolution visuals is able to pull this off so we were very grateful when Raúl Díez, PR and Community Manager for The Game Kitchen answered some of our questions about the game
PC Game Reviews
The Waste Land is a great entry in the genre and while it is not without its flaws has plenty to offer fans. The gameworld is absolutely huge and the retro inspired visuals are spot on. There are also plenty of enemies to battle as well as huge bosses that take some skill to take down. The open world design is great for players who want to forge their own routes through the game, but can be confusing to those who don’t. Some areas, such as the combat, could have been made more engaging, but fans of the genre will still find plenty to enjoy.
Graphics: Imaginative, gory and very true to the 8-bit titles from which it draws inspiration.
Sound: Some nice tunes, but they repeat way too often which causes repetition.
Gameplay: Challenging and entertaining, but could have been a little more rewarding
Android Game Reviews
It is hard to believe that a game where you only use one button can be this much fun, but UpperCup Football proves that it is possible. The beautiful visuals will draw you in and the addictive gameplay will keep you coming back for more. There is just so much variety in the teams and matches that you will want to keep playing just to see who you are up against next. UpperCup Football is definitely one of my favourite Android titles and one that will remain on my tablet for quite some time.
Gameplay: Very entertaining and incredibly addictive.
Graphics: Beautiful pixel art with tons of variety.
Sound: Catchy tunes and great sound effects
