Shattered Planet is one of those games that are impossible to play only once. It is so addictive that I found myself returning to it again and again even after getting my character killed in a myriad of ways. Between the daily challenges and endless mode there is enough content here to keep players hooked for a very, very long time. This is not a game to start playing if you value your free time!
Gameplay: Simple to play, but highly addictive.
Graphics: Bold, colorful and features tons of item designs.
Sound: Mostly tranquil, but speeds up when there is action

Sound: Some nice voice overs and effects

If you played Crimsonland before, the updated version is definitely a nostalgic blast from the past.

Gameplay: A simple, yet addictive top down shooter which is enhanced with some great perks.
Graphics: Improved over the original version, but still pretty basic.
Sound: Suits the game nicely, but doesn’t really stand out

Heroes of Loot is a great title for when you need a quick action fix and don’t want to get bogged down with small details like inventory management or stat allocation. You simply race through dungeon floors, killing everything in sight and grabbing whatever loot you can find. It doesn’t have a lot of depth, but since dungeons are randomly generated and increase in difficulty the more you play the replay value is quite high. It is also very reasonably priced, which means there is no excuse for not giving it a shot.
Gameplay: The focus is very much on action and there isn’t much that gets in the way of that.
Graphics: Some lovely pixel art visuals with nice enemy designs.
Sound: Decent, but the sound effects are a little underwhelming

Mystik Belle features an addictive blend of classic platforming Metroidvania-inspired exploration and a healthy dose of point-and-click adventure-style puzzles. The beautiful pixel art visuals are a definite plus, and the charming characters, as well as varied locations, will keep you hooked. The puzzles and limited inventory might not appeal to players looking for a more traditional Metroidvania-style platformer, but Mystik Belle is definitely worth checking out.
Gameplay: Mystik Belle has many areas to explore, many clever puzzles, and some huge bosses to defeat.
Graphics: The game boasts beautiful pixel art visuals with large, detailed sprites and memorable backgrounds.
Sound: The audio is impressive and features a catchy chiptune soundtrack
