I have like another 8 pages of similar titles but you get the idea.
I'm sure there are a couple gems in there but they're not anything I've ever heard of, so I figure they'll be languishing on The List even if I put 'em up.
Also, remember people - check the First Post in this thread to see the aforementioned List - it has a ton of stuff from prior years still left!
¤The Swapper: is a gimmicky kinda pretty (not pixel art at least) platformer that would only really interest people who get charmed by its aesthetics/themes or platformers fans for an OK game.
¤Super Hexagon: is one of those frustrating games requiring precision and focus, recommended to masochists who like that kinda stuff.
¤Sproggiwood: I don't know, seems like just another rogue like from that wave of them, probably someone who likes those kind of games and can stand the art direction would like it.
¤Shutshimi: I also don't know, but it seems to be a mix of rogue lite and Metal Slug, not sure who would be interested in it.
¤Secrets of Raetikon: looks like another 2D metroidvania shaved to the bone with some pretty visual on top to compensate.
¤Robot Roller-Derby Disco Dodgeball: someone has given glowing recommendation to me, but I think it's one of those hit and miss 'sports'/party games.
¤Tumblestone: looks like an interesting gimmicky game, there's been surprising success in reinventing the earliest gameplay elements of video game history so it's probably as enjoyable as the reviews suggest.
¤Ballistick: I wouldn't recommend to anyone.
¤Dusty Revenge: Co-Op Edition don't know this game, doesn't seem worth learning about honestly.
¤Luna's Wandering Stars: Seems to be another space physics game, those can be interesting but I don't think anyone but the nerdiest of space enthusiast need more than one of those types of games.
¤Monster Loves You: really oversells itself, I think someone going in blind would probably find some enjoyment in it?
¤Potatoman: Seeks the Troof Never played, never heard of; Not surprising since it's a pixel art game.
¤Maize: I've asked for this because someone recommended it to me for the humor.
¤Scanner Sombre: artsy bullshit, some people like that but I can rarely stand it for more than ten minutes.
¤Sanctum 2: I don't know what people see in this game, if someone takes it up I'd love to know why its good.
¤On Rusty Trails: Like most platformers ever the gameplay is OK and your enjoyment depends on what you like of the art direction and themes.
¤Painters Guild: Anther unfinished game it seems, the reviews paint it as a basic turn your brain off management with no value.
¤Master Spy:
Very good music done by RAC, I still listen to the soundtrack. As for the game itself well, it's a very very tight stealth platformer, most level seem to be designed to be played at the rhythm of the music. I never managed to finish it but I enjoyed it overall despite the frustration.
¤Mirage: Arcane Warfare: Pretty sure this game is dead.
¤Chime Sharp: someone bitched at me about this, I assume from the reception this game was only of interest for the people who played the original and they were very disappointed.
¤Headlander: I actually don't know anything about this, which is weird since it seems to be my type of game.
¤FreeCell Quest: Never played but you would be surprised at how well people have managed to remake such traditionnal games, I'm going to assume its safe to recommend for people who are interested by looking at the store page.
¤LostWinds: Someone recommended this to me a few times then I never heard of it again, probably another OK platformer.
¤Mr. Shifty: A beat'em up I generally don't like those kind of games but it seems to be competent enough to please the regulars of the genre.
¤Tooth and Tail: Surprised you haven't heard about it, some people were hyping this game as a new competitive RTS. Overall it's fine and the humor is dark enough to please me.
¤Dungeon of the Endless: I've asked for this to complete my Endless game collection.
¤Tross: Never heard of this looks like an epileptic attack.
