Deathbulge: Battle of the Band is an RPG game with a musical theme. But it’s not your usual RPG. With its own quirkiness and unique gameplay, the game is genuinely FUNTASTIC in every aspect of it.



Deathbulge is a Rock band, with Faye, Ian, and Brim as their member (this 3 is the MC and playable character). They joined a competition called Battle of the Band, but they didn’t know that they got scammed by the demon that organized it, because they didn’t read the contract! Now cursed, their music can damage people! They go on an adventure looking for a way to undo the curse before the competition start. So the PSA here is, always read the contract before sign them.

In case you didn’t know, Deathbulge is a webcomic that you can find on their site. They put a TONS of easter egg in the game, but don’t worry, you can still enjoy it even not knowing anything about the comic. But if you do, it’s cool to find them here and there. And the overall story of the game feels like reading their comic for the entirety of the game, nonstop unpredictable comedy, and also engaging to keep going.

I realllllly like the gameplay they made, cause it’s something new and fresh to me. It’s a turn-based game with an active meter bar, BUT it’s for your whole team. Here the kicker, you put status effect on the meter bar, so it only affects when the player goes through the bar. The system itself is simple to learn, but tricky to master. And with so many different types of enemies and their own effects, you need to adapt real time.

Just like classic RPG, you can customize your equipment and stuff, but they use music terms so it’s cool! And what even cooler than that, is you can change character class, and your appearance also changed! You can be EMO GOTH or HARDCORE ROCK or even SATANIC METAL, choose your own build.

I might be biased, but I’m a fan of their art style. Everything in the game is never boring, and I mean it. From the main characters, their expressions, NPC, and environment, you always find something amusing.

While the game is musical and band theme, don’t expect it to be like rhythm game. But they did a great job making the OST and music and SFX so fun and cool. I can easily chill while listening to their hometown OST.

Preface, if you don’t know what Hololive is, Hololive is a Vtuber agency that consist of Japan, English, and Indonesia branch. And what is that to do with the game? This game is a fan-made based on Hololive. This game is made with full passion and love for Hololive, and not just for the talents, but also for the fans.



The gameplay is like Vampire Survivor, where you fight a horde of enemies using auto attack with power up you pick up randomly. The differences are, every other element of the game is based on Hololive. All the characters are the Vtuber from Hololive. All the weapons, items, stages, enemies, are from hololive lore, and it’s very accurate.

The gameplay itself is really simple, but you can challenge yourself with limitations that you can modify easily from the shop. There are also quite challenging achievements to spice up your game if you try to achieve them. And if that is still not enough, you can do Endless or Time Attack and put yourself on leaderboard alongside fellow fans and prove you are the number 1 fan with your Oshi (Fave Character).

What’s more, you asked? You can pull gacha in this game! Don’t worry, it uses in-game money and is not that expensive, so you can collect all the characters easily, and they also have lots of different outfits too!
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3025986554
You still want more?? After you have tired from beating up the hordes, you can come home to HoloHouse, where you can relax, spend money to buy furniture that you can set up on your house, plant some crops, cook, and don’t forget the best part, fishing minigame! Certified best game.
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3025986463
The art is superb!! Cause this game is made by a team of godlike artists, that I follow personally even before the game exist. Every little detail to the animation is a masterpiece, and I’m not exaggerating.
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3025986478
The music is top notch because of course, the music is from Hololive (they are idol focus company). But as always, I also really appreciate a good and fit SFX, and they deliver.


Final Score
10/10

The game might be new on Steam, but I’ve been playing it since Day 1, and never really stop playing it because first, they keep updating it, and with each update there’s a ton of new stuff. And secondly, the game is genuinely fun and balanced. And I think this game is not just for Hololive fans, but for everyone. You might didn’t know what Hololive is at first, but you can try and get to know them from this game, and discover more of the great stuff about them.

Aeterna Noctis is a Metroidvania game, that has almost everything in it. Deep lore story, insane fights, banger music, hardcore platforming, just name it. Play as Noctis, the king of Darkness, and claim back your righteous throne!
Note that this review is based on the first playthrough on Hard difficulty.



Tale as old as time, it’s a clash between Light and Darkness. And Chaos being the God of this world, they curse both Light and Darkness with immortality, fated to dance in eternity with the rights to rules as their prize. Noctis, the king of Darkness, after being ripped out of every power he has, needs to climb back, and face the Queen of Light, just like every repeated cycle before it. Is this cycle gonna be the same just like hundreds before it, or this gonna be the end of it?

The way the game told the story is beautiful. Complete with anime-esque cutscene and narrated by soothing voice, read out the tragic and poetic story that happened between the King and the Queen. Not only that, we can learn what happened in the past through NPC and monologue and such. Both the main story and side quest story equally interesting to made me want to keep playing just see what happen next.

There’s a lot to unpack here, so I just point out the most notable one. Noctis have a skill tree that you can expand your EXP with to enhance your skills. The good thing is there’s 3 main paths of skills to choose from. The bad thing is you can’t acquire all the skills in the game. It designed that way because the level is capped and all the available skills points in the game is not enough to get all the skills. But the game allows you to reset your acquired skills point and re choose what you want.

The content of the game is MASSIVE. Noctis can acquire new weapons, new abilities, new charms, even new music! But it always comes with a catch. With a massive list of things to do, even the main story, the game doesn’t really have a clear navigation to help you to get to your goal. You need to pay attention to the very detail of the dialogue to get the idea where to go next. Speaking of paying attention, you need to remember the details of what you acquired, because you can’t see the details on the Menu loadout, it only shows the legend.
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3001028922
A map is a MUST. Because the map doesn’t get revealed after you going through them and it is total darkness. Only by buying a map you can see the map. While it is cheap, it can get annoying if you pass the NPC that sells them and can’t find your way in the new area.
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3001028805
Now to the main course, the combat. Noctis is versatile at combat, and so are the enemies. You can build your own playstyle by choosing which charm to use and which skills you level up. Whether you like melee or range, high risk high reward, or play safely. The enemies, both bosses and minions, are exceptionally creative and aggressive. All of them are challenging with their own unique taste and rewarding when you beat them.

The platforming, is on point. Not so tight, but not too easy either. My only complaint is there are some places that easy to get in, but very hard to get out, and you end up die in that closed space area and leaving your soul behind. But other than that, you get to experience a crazy kind of platforming challenge. The game even has a special dedicated challenge for platforming with time score globally to compete with other players.

The world in Aeterna Noctis has grown on me. I didn’t really like it at first, but after seeing a vast variety of the characters, especially each area with their own unique scenery and enemies, I love it. They have a subtle feeling when you are in it. From a dark grim place, into a colorful sky, even space! But then again, here comes my little complaint. Not only do they put beautiful background, but they also put something on the foreground too, that sometimes blocking the view. It only happened a few times, but still it gets annoying when you fall or get hit by something you can’t see.
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3001028900
Not many times have I encountered a Metroidvania game with full dub. Even though they use VA, I don’t know which language they use. It not stopping there, the music especially the boss music, is a total banger. It’s a little bit of enjoyment whenever I need to redo the boss fight, which is nice. The SFX overall is also clean. This is something that sometimes goes under radar until it goes bad, so I appreciate they put thoughts into this too.

• Aeterna Noctis Virtuoso (Coming soon as per writing of this review)

Final Score
8.5/10

While this game is almost perfect on paper, but I can’t help sometimes I felt the game is too much and end up tired after playing instead of satisfied. Nonetheless Aeterna Noctis is a super solid game in every aspect of it. The dev also announced 2 other new games that share the same Aeterna universe, and I will definitely be checking them out too!

/ᐠ.ꞈ.ᐟ\ Quest is an action RPG game with fantasy theme, filled with cute and cool ✧/ᐠ-ꞈ-ᐟ\



We land feet first into the journey, with one goal. To save our kidnapped sister from the mysterious masked figure. Start as a helpless and weak /ᐠ ̞ ‸ ̞ᐟ\, we hone our paws and claws while doing Quests so that we get stronger to defeat the evil villain! Or are we… ?

That being said, the main story is pretty solid, with some of the lore too. And not just that, the side quests also have interesting and fun stories by themselves. Honestly impressive with what they put in for such a short game.

The first thing I noticed about the game is how unique the area we play in. It feels like we are walking on top of the world map. The core gameplay is as the title said, there’s a lot of quests. In exchange for helping the catvilization, we could get equipment and upgrades to help ease our journey.
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2981803315
For the combat mechanics, we use weapon and MAGIC! Yes, we can learn magic such as fire and ice and many more to defeat our enemies. You can wear your equipment toward more slashing build or magic build, it’s up to your liking. For me purrsonally, I choose whichever is cooler, because fashion > meta build.
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2981803303
While the game is quite short, they have Mew Game+, which you can replay and bring all your possessions into a new game. And if that is not enough, you can also pick modifiers into your new game for all of you hardcore gamers, because it really do be challenging.

ITS CUTEEEEEE （ꏿ ω ꏿ）
Not only the cats, but also the world, the equipments, its everything! Well the enemies not so much, but you can kill them, so it’s all good.

It’s not an epic journey without epic music to serenade our epic fight against epic bosses. The music that played is orchestral OST that fit purrfectly with fantasy and medieval-esque theme

• None

Final Score
8/10

I got the game when it was on discount for a really cheap price, and I didn’t expect to get a full fun experience from it! The story is fun and still serious enough to be paid attention to. The gameplay is simple yet fun with all the magic. The world is really pleasing in the eyes. Overall, this is a really fun game and very worth the price even in full.

Blue Fire is a 3D action platformer, where you play as a classic Nameless-Chosen-Warrior to fight the Evil Shadow and save the corrupted lands. If that is not edgy enough, our protagonist is a dual wielding sword, wearing a hoodie and a mask! With glowing eyes! (Honestly, that is my reason I got this game). As mysterious as he is, we delve deep into the floating castle, to unsolved the mystery behind the chaos inside the castle.



As I stated above, there’s not much going on with our protagonist, except his fashion choice. With that, we awake in a castle, already corrupted with darkness. Then we proceed to meet NPCs, that told us, that we are the only hope to save the world. That’s it.

There’s not much lore either, except from what the NPC told us. And I don’t feel any kind of urgency to save the world ASAP, because the NPC is living their life peacefully doing their business.

It’s an action platformer game. But honestly, it’s more like 90% platforming, and 10% action. Don’t expect much from the dual blade that we had, because we can only do a simple 3 attack combo. There is only 1 (ONE) blade related skill. And even that, it more useful for platforming (it said so in the loading screen tips, and all the enhancement of that said skill is to increase length or heights of the movement).

For that reason, the game is more enjoyable when you get all the traversal skills like double jump and wall run etc, because the map itself is precise platforming (even in the city, you need to parkour your way from house to house).

The game is pretty generous with the in-game currency. You need to break objects to get money, and defeat enemies to get souls. Both are for upgrades and buying stuff. Not much grinding is needed.

To increase the health bar, we need to do platforming challenges called the voids, which I think, this is the core of the game. Because there are more of this challenge than the bosses and type of enemies combined. It’s very clear that the Dev put more effort into the platforming challenge than the combat mechanic.

There is an accessory system called Spirits that we can equipped to enhance our abilities. But then again, more than half of them are for the convenience for platforming, like increasing dash length and remove fall damage, etc.
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2976241913
On the brighter side, there are some NPCs with their problems we can help to give a bit variety in the game.

The focus here is our character, which we can change our hoodie into something our liking through the game.
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2976241973
Other than that, all of them are mediocre to meh. Almost all the NPCs are designed like blobs with a bit of a cosmetic slap on them. That also applies to the enemy’s design, which most of them is just a slight difference and change of color. That also applies to the world design too, which all of them are really bland, and oversaturated with a single color.
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2976241936
This is that type of game, where our character is mute, and all the other characters just make grunt noise whenever they talk. The music overall is pretty chill, and the boss’s music fight is quite good. Not bad, nothing memorable either.

• Void of Sorrows (FREE). I didn’t play the DLC.

Final Score
4.5/10

This game barely passes my bar, because I gotta admit, the platforming challenges really deliver, and the cool looking protagonist. I dropped this game when I first played it (ver 1.XX something) because it was so unbearable and boring. Years passed, I powered through the game and it became more enjoyable bearable. This game has more potential to be more Action-Platformer game, rather than Platformer-Action game.

Mini Motorways is a real-time management simulation game, where you need to build roads to avoid traffic jam as the city you manage grow bigger with time



None. The story is you come to an empty city, watch it expand, and then see it become a concrete jungle, like in real life :)

The premise of the game is simple. There is 2 types of building that spawn randomly at a given random time. The small one (I called it a house) and the big one (I called it a store). All you need to do is connect the house to the store by building roads, so the car can go to the store and go back. You get one point each time the car makes it back to the house.

The challenge is you have limited roads, and you can only connect the house and the store with the same color. Worry not, you get supplies like roads, traffic lights, motorways, etc after a week pass. So what is the goal then? Mini Motorways is a high score type of game. Get as many points as you can, how many days you can last managing the traffic, and your score gonna be submitted to the leaderboards.
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2833100384

If that is not challenging enough for you, Mini Motorways have daily and weekly challenge, and also unique challenge per map once you get enough score on said map. The difference is, that you will get modifiers, that affect how you build the roads. It can be good stuff, but mostly bad stuff
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2833100368

The style is minimalistic, and still bearable to see even if it is crowded. There is a day mode, night mode, and simple color mode (I think, they didn’t state the name of the mode) to choose from while you play the game.

As I said earlier, this game is heavily based on color. Good thing is, they have color blind mode, which you can customize to your condition if you have one.
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2833100399

This is the only thing that I don’t like from this game, they don’t have BGM. All they have is SFX and white noise ASMR-ish of traffic sounds. Not that I didn’t enjoy that, but a nice soothing BGM would be nice to calm the nerve while stressing over managing the traffic


Final Score
8.5/10

My friend hooks me on this game. Seeing them play and have a thought, I probably could do better than that, that’s how it started. I love how they have a friend's leaderboard, which made me competitive about the game. And even though this is a single-player game, it made me feel like playing together with friends

You play as a cute little red mage named Soli, that can use a power to bend reality and defy the physic. Use them as your advantage to defeat creepy monsters that dwell around and solve the puzzles along your way.



It was all quiet and peaceful in the Vaiya, but everything changed when the demon attacked. Soli being one of the survivors and gifted with the magical power to control power from a portal, set a path to find the source of the evil and put an end to it.
The story is a simple premise where you fight your way to find the demon that causes all the rampage. There is not much more into it from what I have seen it, no development or buildup along the way. Definitely not the strong suit of the game.
Unbound is a heavy puzzle with a tight platformer. Even though Soli is a Mage, he’s not built for a fight. You died with any direct contact with any enemy and hazardous environment. Also, you can’t fight an enemy directly. You must be tricky with how you use the ability to avoid the enemy or defeat them.
About the portal's power, you gain access to use that power once you go through the portal, and you lose it if you exit the portal. The game feels like a segmented puzzle world where you can only use what the game dictates to you what power you can use in a certain area.
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2700645443
On the bright side, you can find skills like double jump and dash, your daily dose of platforming skills, and that permanent. There are not many skills to acquire and nothing memorable about them.
What I like in Unbound is their puzzle really does be challenging my brain. You need to find a way to utilize the power creatively. On other hand, I don’t like how they make some of the jumps is so tight to make it. What I meant by that is you need to get so close to the edge of the ledge to jump to make it to the other end. It is unnecessary and not fun.
They have a single side quest, where you need to find missing villagers. There’s no reward to it besides the game achievement. But you can find all the missing villagers you rescue in one area and they speak some cryptic sentences that I don’t get what they mean.
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2700645316
The art is great! Especially the enemies, they are intended to be creepy, and yes they do creep me out to the point I don’t want to stare too much at them. But most of the other NPC is similar to our character, a hoodie mage, with just differentiation of size and color.
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2700645389
The ambiance music is nice and fits perfectly with the atmosphere of each area. It gave tranquility feeling even in the darkest place.


Final Score
7/10

Unbound: Worlds Apart turn out to be heavily on the puzzle side rather than adventure and exploring I feel like. There was a prolog demo at first on the store to get a little taste of the game, but they removed it now. Even though the overalls seem kind of bland and mediocre for me, but the gameplay is pretty solid with great art and a reasonable price. Still a good game if you like to train your brain and mechanical platforming skill.

The unique point that made me take this game is, an adventure with your Gran? Never had that before! Also, I love the bow as the main weapon. Combine with cute art and it became my cup of tea, and it is a fun game from start to finish! It gives a quite new feel to action platformer and it keeps getting better towards the end.



The story is simple, a bunch of slimes invades (duh) your village. All the villager is escaping, except your Gran. She turns back to search for the source of the sudden slime attack. You being a good Granddaughter you are, gotta follow your Gran and put up with all her shenanigans.

All the story is conveyed by their actions and bubble speech like in comics, but it uses a cute emote instead. The overall tone of the story is kind of funny and wholesome. Even tho you clearly look tired and mad with your Gran, you still care and have a good time with her. And she also taking care of you. Really a heartwarming adventure.
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2574468433

It's your daily dose of platformer, you jump around avoiding an environmental hazard, and finding skills for you to equip to buff you up. Your only weapon is a bow, and you use a charge of the quiver to attack. It does refill over time, but it refills slowly. You need to accurately shoot the enemies, so you don’t waste time waiting for your quiver to recharge.

Along the journey, you find new abilities like double jump and such. The most interesting one is you gonna get the ability to teleport to where you shoot your arrow. That is when the game becomes more fluid and challenging, with more freedom of movement.

The game is separated between stages, with more than 40 stages. On each stage, there are stars and hidden stars that you can collect. Most of the time it is just for completion or an achievement purpose, but sometimes you are required to get it to progress further.

In some stages, you go together with your Gran. She can move by herself, but she has limitations. You need to escort her out of harm's way to the finish line. Also, some of the actions need both of you to do together. While your Gran has their own health bar, they regenerate. But your own health didn’t regen. You need to find a checkpoint or life pickup to restore your health.
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2574468477

There’s a time you play as Gran as well. It is a nice change of pace in a while, and it got even more fun, in the end, to play as Gran. Overall, I love the gameplay mechanic, it is the main strong point of the game in my opinion.
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2574468498

I’m a fan of cute art style. That is always the first thing I noticed when I am browsing games. While they are cute, the coloring is kind of bland. They have a graphic choice in settings, I put it to the highest, and still the color in the solid base without shading for example the girl's hair. It doesn’t really bother me that much, it's just my opinion that it could be better.

They have no voice act, or even dialogue, to begin with. But their choice of music is nice and on point with their theme of the stage. I also like the SFX like when their emote pop up, that just makes it cuter and I like it.


Final Score
8/10

To be honest, I didn’t expect it to be so much fun at the start. I kinda expect it to be an easy game, but it turns out quite challenging in a fun way. It is not punishing you that hard, and you can go nuts jumping around. Definitely a hidden gem even it's just a short one.

The second game from Hazelight, the dev from “A Way Out”, this time with more colorful and cartoony approach! I never play A Way Out before, but seeing everyone playing It Takes Two and seeing a glimpse of how beautiful the game is, I immediately bought the game at full price. Didn’t regret any of it!

You only need one copy of the game to play together with your partner. And it uses a dedicated server as far as I know, and I have low to zero connectivity issues. The game did crash for both of us one time, but never happen again.



You are playing as Husband(Cody) and Wife(May). Your marriage is on the verge of the end, but your Daughter(Rose) makes a wish that both of you can reconcile and fix your marriage. Through the help of a magical love book (Dr. Hakim), both of you turn into a living miniature doll! To revert the magic, you must follow the guidance of Dr. Hakim on what to do to fix your relationship with your partner. To be cooperative, to be understanding with each other, listen to your partner, spare your time for each other, to reignite the love deep inside!

Along the adventure, you gonna keep bantering with your partner about everything, and that is when we start to see the reason behind the divorce decision. But along with those, you also rediscover a little thing about your partner, that made you love them. A reminiscence of memory you spent together, from the silliest, dull thing, to a romantic one. Overall it is a heartwarming, hilarious, and joyful experience that you never gonna forget.

At first glance, it looks like a Toy Story game, where you shrink and inanimate objects came alive. There are not a lot of enemies to fight with, but there’s a ton of puzzles and you need teamwork to do all of that, including defeating an enemy. Segmented with chapters, and each chapter has a unique theme that gives you a whole other experience that feels like a brand new game.

The control move you can do is pretty basic, and you got a special item on each chapter to use, and you got a different item with your partner. It is predetermined on what you get on who are you playing as. Even tho the item does a simple thing, the application on the game is so genius and so varied, making solving a puzzle is not a daunting task, but a fun way to experimenting. The game is 3rd person view and sometimes there’s a shooter segment, but it still quite comfortable to play it with a controller.

You can find dozens of minigame along the way, that you can procrastinate with to compete with your partner to determine who is better. You can play as long as you want, and even replay it from the main menu once you find it. There are also a few easter eggs to be found, and a fun achievement to unlock.
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2540118727

This one is one of the main reasons that made me bought it. Not only is it rendered beautifully, but the art style is so cute and fun! They go hardcore on details and with each chapter with whole new themed, you never gonna be bored with it. From a simple garage, into a snowy field, underwater, and another magical world you dive into, be prepared to be awed by it.
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2540118678

The music overall is having a cheerful atmosphere, knowing this is a fun and joyful game. The one that takes the trophy in my opinion is the voice cast behind the characters. With Cody and May being the ones constantly communicating, bickering, and joking, their character is really shown by their voice acting. And Dr. Hakim, it’s a either love it or hate it situation with Dr. Hakim, but in a good way! No matter what you feel about Dr. Hakim, he is a character that keeps lingering in your mind till the end of the game.


Final Score
9/10

It is the best game I played so far in 2021. What really impress me is as my experience playing it with my partner, we do bickering in real life like Cody and May while playing it, and at the same time, we also being competitive while playing the minigames, also all the silly things that we can to in the game. All the experience Cody and May get in the game, in a way, also reflect to us as a player. Our feelings are mutual with Cody and May, and I think that is intended by the dev, and that’s what makes it’s a great game.

Welcome to the DANDY ACE magic show! I know most of you guys have played that son of a.. that son of Hades I mean. But this is my first time do a roguelike, so don’t expect any comparison. Without further ado, hope you enjoy my review of the show below!




My name is Dandy Ace, a top-tier fabulous magician! My third nemesis, Lele the Green-eyed illusionist, drive-by jealousy of my fame, trade his soul for a Cursed Mirror, to trap me and my two assistants in a mirror world. I must find a way out of this maze and fight through hordes of enemies and bosses.

Along my journey, Lele narrating my struggle from above. And instead of an illusionist, he is more of a Meme master.
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2442818753
You can shut him up from the setting, but to be honest, I like Lele. It is gonna so lonely without him chattering.

When I got Isekai-ed into the mirror world, my magic card got scatter all around the world. Fortunately, I got 3 types of the card at the start.

• Blue Card, is a movement card. It allows me to dash or blink to avoid attacks.
  
• Pink Card, is a basic attack card.
  
• Yellow Card, is a control card. It has a variety of effects to control a crowd of enemies like stun or binding and many more.

I can only equip a total of 8 cards, 4 as main card and 4 as upgrade card. Every card doesn’t matter the color of it, it can be used as a main or an upgrade of the main card. I can easily swap my card at any time, even during combat. Every card has damage and a cooldown, and a tier level of the card. The higher the level of a card, the higher the damage.

When I defeat the enemy, they drop money and sometimes a shard or even a card. I can spend the money at the shop I found occasionally at the maze to buy a card. For the shards, I can spend it on my assistant Jolly Jolly to unlock a new card or permanent buff. As for my other assistant Jenny Jenny, she will give me a Trinket. It gives me a passive buff. I can only take 1 at every start of the map and I can only bring 3 Trinket with me.

When I eventually die, I lost all of my cards, money, shards, and trinkets. Lele really enjoying the struggle I must endure all over again. But every buff purchased by shards is still intact. So I got that going for me, which is nice.

As you may know, most magic show is best to perform with a live audience, that’s why I have a Twitch Mode! Twitch mode allows me to interact with the live viewer from my Twitch. They can vote on what card I could get, spawn a challenge to make my show more interesting, or even impersonate Lele and fight me. But sadly no one come to my live show, I have no experience of it. *sad noises*

The name says it all, me and my two beautiful assistants will show you flashy and superb magic! All of my magic cards have a unique way to make you dazzled. I also must give a prop to Lele and his mirror world. The interior of the world is neatly designed and even has thematic on each map. Even the resident of the world, they are cute and fitting for my show, but they are still deadly.

Every good show has good music. But not only music, but you also gonna get soothed with my voice! Prop to the VA that gives me and the others a voice. You don’t know VA? It's Ventriloquism Art of course! But most of the time you will be hearing Lele narrating. He is really chatty.


Final Score
8/10

Here some words from my sponsor of the show:
As my first entry of roguelike game, Dandy Ace did a good job that makes me engage to keep me curious and keep trying. It easy to learn and not so hard to master, it has a good learning curve that teaches me how positioning and not spamming is really matter. And combining the cards and see how it goes is fun and there’s a ton of it!
