Fourteen(!) new games released over the last four days.

Note: These impressions are based off 8 minutes of gameplay and are not an accurate assessment of the full product.

Zombies 2.0 – 240 points – Shooter – Download
Nice top down shooter that sees you defend you base from a variety of different enemies. It has decent presentation and an in-depth upgrade system.

 

 

Dodge These Balls – 80 points – Platformer – Download

Extremely simple but surprisingly fun. It plays like the pacifism mode from Geometry Wars 2. You control one ball and must avoid rapidly increasing numbers of other balls.

 

Penguin Slip-Slide Lite – 80 points – Puzzle & Trivia – Download

I didn’t play the original version but this seems like a nice small puzzle game that can be enjoyed by younger gamers.

 

Pastels Square – 400 points – Puzzle & Trivia – Download

An interesting take on the brick-dropping game that sees you make squares of the same color. Lacks polish and is overpriced.

 

Bed Time Nursery Rhymes- 80 points – Family – Download

Collection of narrated nursery rhymes. Shouldn’t parents be reading their kids these themselves?

 

Shellblast HD – 400 points – Puzzle & Trivia – Download

An interesting take on a Minesweeper-like game. Fantastic presentation and some interesting puzzles.

 

Puzzle? – 80 points – Puzzle & Trivia – Download

Collection of word puzzles. The games could be appealing but the presentation is awful.

 

デッドラGO! – 400 points – Strategy & Simulation – Download

Japanese tower defence game. Seems to have a lot of depth and is really polished. It’s a shame that you’ll struggle to play it without knowing Japanese.

 

Nasty – 400 points – Action & Adventure – Download

Nice retro platformer. Challenging and it reminds me of some classic older platformers. The graphics are nice too.

 

Streets of Fury – 240 points – Fighting – Download

Streets of Rage-like game that uses real people for the characters. Innovative and entertaining so well worth a look.

 

Octagon – 240 points – Shooter – Download

Fun shooter where the four face buttons on your controller each fire different colored bullets. Enemies can only be damaged by bullets of the same color. Great presentation.

 

LOLCats – 80 points – Other – Download

Pictures of cats with irritating internet memes.

 

 

Storage Inc- 400 points – Puzzle & Trivia – Download

As a Shenmue fan I loved this. It’s a forklift truck puzzle game that makes you manage a warehouse with your truck and move cargo. Great presentation and a lot of fun.

 

ダウンタウン激凸ドッジボール！ – 800 points – Sports & Recreation – Download

Impressive dodgeball game but is way overpriced at 800 points.
