Review by Clark A. Skater Cat is one of those games that has a lot going for it but somewhere along the line it forgets to finish the basics. Making the overly simple endless runner style of gameplay an invigorating one often requires some ingenuity and Skater Cat aims for…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. Cloudbuilt had me excited from the very first screenshot. Here’s a platformer inspired by freerunning, set in a picturesque landscape floating in the skies.

Read MoreReview by Matt S. I don’t think I’ve ever played a game as soulless of Jett Rocket 2. I’ve played plenty of bad games. Terrible games, even. I’ve played hopeless clones, and games so close to the original material to be legitimately arguable as plagiarism. But never have they been…

Read MoreReview by Nick H. Putty Squad is an interesting mishmash of ideas that come together early to create a different kind of platforming experience, but one that may not be suited to everyone. The hero of this game, Putty, is a little blue blob who can jump, float, punch and…
