Unemployment Quest - Pass the Preachy

I know this is a bit of a weird game for me to be reviewing, especially right after I made a post detailing me searching for work and finding it tough. That said that probably makes good FOR actually reviewing this game, a kickstarter funded RPG-Maker title, made specifically to tackle the issue of people who are having trouble just finding work, dealing with the stress, worry and nervousness of jobsearching in general.

 

Unhack - Everyone do the Worm!

Unhack is an odd little title that centres around 'Unhacking' computers and systems. Aka: Removing viruses from them. To do this you have to speed around various levels, avoiding dangers, ten levels and full voice acting is present and a lot of effort has gone into the game... So why, after finishing it, do I feel let down?

Marvins Mittens - Cute Cute and Double Cute

Marvin's Mittens is a rather cute little platformer where you, as Marvin, explores the forests, cliffs and caves around your house in order to find a lost mitten. Its not on steam yet but it has been greenlit so its worth giving a good look-over at this game and maybe, just maybe I can convince you to try and pick it up.

Lasercat - Retro-ness

Another game from the depths of Desura is Lasercat, a game previously on Xbox Indie Games and ported across to the PC. It also happens to be pretty retro-flavoured. There be some jumping, some avoiding enemies and... trivia? I guess I better get stuck in then!

//N.P.P.D. Rush// : The Milk of Ultra Violet - Um... What?

Note: The main dev of this game has since changed the game completely, turning a slightly intresting but flawed title into a completely unplayable mess. I'm not doing a full page review of the new 'Game' as quite frankly, I don't want to touch it again if needs be. I'll keep this up though just to showcase what the game used to be.

So this morning, went and grabbed myself the Groupees Retro 2 bundle and one of the games I wound up picking up was this little weird title (Which for sanity's sake, I shall be just referring to as NPPD). So I installed it, played it and finished it in under half an hour (Whoops. There's one MAJOR mark against it already). So how was it? Uh... Interesting...

Arson & Plunder - Beat Em Up Basics

When I was young my dad owned an Amiga and with it, a good selection of games. One of those titles was Golden Axe and I played that over and over again, finishing it multiple times and beating Death Adder. Have I gone back to that game in many years? No. Why? I have to admit, I am worried that my memories of the game could be ruined on playing it again now and games like this only serve to add on to that train of thought.

Ampu-Tea - Easy Mode Done

I shall begin with three simple words. F**k this Game. Thats right, this is a rage game pure and simple with controls and mechanisms ripped right from 'Surgeon Simulator' and the goal is to make tea. The controls suck, the graphics are basic and the game itself is incredibly buggy at the best of times making a frustrating experience all the more frustrating. (Oh look my hand got stuck in the table. Or the mug. Or the water dispenser...)

This is not a game. This is a torture tool and a way for youtubers to earn easily impressed subscribers by screaming at the camera. Just avoid at all costs.

Murder at the Lisbon Hotel - Case Solved

Another more 'Oddball' title here, finished up and presented thusly. This time being the adventure mystery title 'Murder at the Lisbon Hotel' to try and solve the case of the mysterious suicide of Mr Love. And by suicide we mean murder obviously.

Love+, Platformance Temple Death/Castle Pain and The Network - Four Desura Done

Throwing in four titles here all at once, all very short titles completed in one day and all four available over Desura for £1.99 each. Lets dig into the buffet of unknown titles shall we?
