Purgatory Prime is a low-tech and highly surrealist super slow colleactathon game. When entering the game, you are welcomed by an bureaucrat who tells you that there is nothing to do; that would be the sense of the whole thing. But that’s not true: You can search and collect eggs. I won’t tell you much […]

The roots of all our problems
The roots of all our problems has a gameplay could be described as connatural to „Flappy Birds“, but with a strong focus towards story and graphical design. The games story is about a flying seed that searches for a place to grow but can’t do so as the whole space is either destroyed or occupied […]
Shippy 1984
Shippy 1984 is a arcade shoot em up game that is heavily inspired by early genre classics but modernizes their gameplay to some extend. Nearly everybody played „Space Invaders“ or some more or less faithful remake. Shippy 1984 introduces some minor updates, but doesn’t change the well working basic formula: You move within a narrow […]
Rusty Blade / Hoch_Tief
Rusty Blade is a narrative game with a strong focus on story and visuals. The games of the developer that I played attempt to explore the boundary between image, text, and video game (often with some philosophical hook attached) – but they are quite active in various fields, so I recommend to check out their […]
Luggage Retrieval Officer
Welcome back. Todays game is Lugagge Retrieval Officer, a puzzle game made for the Gameboy Advance. The games concept is simple and you are likely to have seen in in a similar incarnation before: Your goal is to get a red suitcase to the luggage caches exit, but the way is blocked by the other […]
Spring break
I hoped to be able to do another video game review today, but since I had some work left to do on the „Wondrous Pixel Turtle“ (a little side project I of mine) this didn’t worked out. In two days I’ll go abroad for a week, and after that my April is going to be […]
Dead Ascend
Dead Ascend is a short Point and Click-Adventure. The games story takes place in a post apocalyptic setting – zombies chased you to a tower, and you need to reach the top to escape. The riddles you need to solve to clear the way are rather balanced – pretty straightforward and fair, but not just […]
Ben Was Assimilated
Ben Was Assimilated is a short, turn based hack’n slash game. The game is pretty straightforward: By using the arrow keys you navigate through a 2D top-down world. When you act in any way all enemies on the map will act as well and either move or – if they are in range – attack […]
A Palace for Fools
A Palace for Fools is a browser-only 2D platformer/Metroidvania. The games story is inspired by the story of the Tower of Babel: A highly engineered civilization created a floating palace to take the place of their previous, seemingly gratuitous goddess – and was consequently destroyed. You take the role of a lone survivor, awakened from […]
Venzone
Venzone is a ASCII platformer game that uses minimal means to create a astonishingly dense, mysterious atmosphere. The game is set in the Carnic Alps (the area the eponymous town of Venzone is located at), takes inspiration from both the local landscapes, fairytales, and myths, and comes with a tutorial stage and two short but […]
