EA: Rhythmy is a hardcore bullet hell-like rhythm game that requires more hand-eye coordination than I have to offer. Everything is well polished and perfectly timed to the music. 6/10

bookmark_borderRushdown Revolt Alpha (2020) Review
While the Rushdown Revolt alpha is certainly rough around the edges, it offers a unique “spark” system that allows a lot of variety to your combo opportunities.
I ran into a few odd bugs, such as a part of the fourth tutorial that cannot be completed and issues with online matchmaking (getting stuck on 100% or entering into an empty match). The glitches are forgivable though, since it is an early alpha meant to iron out exactly those.
Personally, I think the spark system is a bit too complex/hectic for me to enjoy, but I do find it fun at times. I think part of my struggle with it was due to the floaty physics, but that is something that I would get used to with practice. 6/10
bookmark_borderUnion (2020) Review
Union is a minimalistic puzzle game where you need to complete the paths between shapes by rotating or moving tiles. It’s simple in concept, but turns out to be quite fun in practice. 7/10
bookmark_borderMosaique Neko Waifus 3 (2020) Review
Once again, Mosaique Neko Waifus 3 proves to be the top of its genre by offering full animations, a varied skill tree, and a plot that develops through relationships with each girl. 7.5/10
bookmark_borderDanMachi: Infinite Combate (2020) Review
Spun off from the anime/manga of the same name, Infinite Combate offers a dungeon crawling grind with a simple/rough combat system. It’s fun for fans, but might be tough to play otherwise. 6/10
bookmark_borderThe Line (2020) Review
The Line is a tricky puzzle game with a Snake-like twist. I ran into a few small bugs that I think will be patched soon, but otherwise the game is a rather fun and unique concept. 6/10
bookmark_borderWarriors of the Nile (2020) Review
Warriors of the Nile is a turn-based tile-based strategy where you control a party of three heroes and upgrade them after each battle. It’s fun and definitely something I want to come back to. 7/10
bookmark_borderSpooky Chase (2020) Review
PR: Spooky Chase is an arcade platformer with (thankfully) short levels where you compete against your past movements. It’s difficult but interesting, and requires a lot of forethought. 6/10
bookmark_borderDungeon Throne (2020) Review
PR: Dungeon Throne is rather simple and could use more layout variation, but it offers a fun platforming challenge as you magic your way through procedurally generated dungeons. 7/10
bookmark_borderFae Tactics (2020) Review
Fae Tactics is a turn-based strategy featuring Peony and her pet bird/dog as they travel through a dangerous world. The pixel art is beautiful, and combat definitely requires some planning. 7/10
