I wish Poland were real

One of the kind.

So, let me explain it quickly: this game is a sokoban/bomberman hybrid. This combination works really well and gives a lot of possibilities to create an interesting game. And here comes the problem: level design in this game is horrible.

There are 3 worlds, 18 levels each and I can't really say that even one of them was memorable. You have a bunch of crates/barrels randomly spread over the level, a few extra bombs and bunch of enemies. Out of those 54 levels maybe 10 did look like they weren't auto-generated. In the arctic world there was ONE SINGLE LEVEL with a new mechanic that made the boxes slide after you push them. And that's it. That's all. Used once in the entire game. Everything else stays the same and the only thing that changes between worlds is the tile set.

Overall, this game is something like 3,5/10. Movement feels clunky, enemies' AI is rather poor and the most importantly the game is super repetitive and linear.

BattleBlock Theater, Super Crate Box and Streets of Rogue all combined together.

That's it, all you need to know. Simply amazing, just play it.

"Oomph, Uugh, Where is it?"

Pros:
● Amazing graphics
● Nice animations
● Smooth movement
● Destructible voxel-based environment
● Good soundtrack

When it comes to cons it's hard to just list them without saying anything about the game. There are some game design issues that make ARKOS kinda forgetable:

● First of all, you have only 1 ammo type and all the weapons (except for the teleport) are just better ammo/dmg ratio with same projectile types. There is no point of using previous weapons once you unlock the stronger one, which makes you end up playing almost the entire game with same wand.
● The second issue are enemies - most of them will just slowly walk towards you, dealing dmg on collision. Some of them can shoot as well. The only thing that changes through the game is that enemies will get recolored sprites and more HP. I think there was only 1 or 2 enemies with some special attack.
● And the third: the level design. There were a bunch of levels where the main path was hidden behind secrets. I have a bunch of experience with this sort of things so for most of time looking for the secrets felt really nice and intuitive. However, there were some levels where finding the main path was actually way harder than finding all the secrets in the level - making players run all around the map and hugging the walls is a really questionable gameplay design.

Overally I liked the game (mostly for the nostalgy it gave me). Yet, it's still far away from being a memorable experience.

Fun and short game with some N++ vibes.

Really nice tribute to classic lunar lander. There are 10 world, each with some unique gimmick. Most of the levels were actually fun to play. Worth giving a try.

I absolutely love this one.

BPM is a unique combination of FPS, rogue-lite and rhythm game. And yeah, that works suprisingly well.
So, this is what BPM has to offer:

● Unique and interesting gameplay - The stronger aspect of the game. BPM is fast-paced, smooth and really satisfying to play.
● Great replayability value - huge variety of items, weapons and skills. Lots of different rooms and enemy types.
● Amazing soundtrack - I really love it. Fits the game perfectly and doesn't feel repetitive even after long hours of playing the game. Also, you can import your own songs.

There are also some minor flows worth mentioning:

● Item balance - some items are straight OP, so when the run 'clicks' you are basically unstoppable
● Difficulty curve - once you get to 3-1 (which is half of the run) the game actually becomes way easier until the very end of the run
● Enemies and indicators - some enemies are way more deadly than the others. Since the mob spawns are random, sometimes you'll just get destroyed by enemy that you didn't even know was in the crowded room. This is a big issue for 1hp characters. Enemies like Guardian or Clockwork Soul should be way more visible and easier to spot. They also should make some unique and easily recognizable sounds before starting the attack sequence.
● Monochrome - as much as I actually like the monochrome estetics, they causes some problems with clarity. For a such fast-paced game the contrast between the enemies/projectiles and enviroment should be much stronger.

So yeah, just grab it and play it.

TL;DR: Space Bob is a tribute to good ol' lunar lander, but with a few nice twists.

Your goal is to harvest all kind of resources from the planet surface and transport them to your mother ship. The gameplay mostly revolves around solving various logistic problems: how to gather and transport heavy objects using your lander and grappling hooks. Anything that fits into mothership's dock can be salvaged. Anything. That also includes your enemies and a few other environmental hazards. It's really fun to spend time trying to figure out how to secure and transport stuff efficiently while managing your fuel and the other resources at the same time.

Summing up, this is a really decent game with a lot of content. Even tho the gameplay loop is relatively simple (discover new planet, harvest, upgrade, survive) there is still a lot of other stuff the game has to offer. If you like physics based games, resource management and exploration this is the game for you.
