This is acceptable for the price of free, but with better alternatives like Audiosurf or Beat Hazard, I wouldn't touch this unless you can't play either of those.

Easy achievements, though.

Wow.

This was free.

This is a very well written Kinetic Novel (don't expect branching paths or different endings), delving into one's perception of truth, deceit, and how society and the individual acts and conforms to it. I won't go any further here, I'd feel like I'd be spoiling the story. The artwork's pretty good, and so is the soundtrack.

It has its usual quirks but the ending was very gratifying. It is a bit long and sometimes dragged on for too long, but it was worth it in the end.

Definitely recommend this one.

It is a puzzle ragdoll physics game where you're a bodyguard, tasked with defending "Ronald Rump" from various threats, from snipers to Scorpion from Mortal Kombat lookalikes. Clearly referencing the presidential candidate Donald Trump, you may think at first glance, that since you have to save him all the time, it was made for people who like the man. You'd be wrong. Dead wrong. As the game progresses you'll witness progressively worse nightmare scenarios based on Trump's quotes and controversies.

Silly and disturbing at times, the ragdoll physics provide some funny moments. Thing is, the physics themselves allow for some really frustrating moments as your character may flail about in the exact wrong direction even though you had the right intention. Besides, I didn't even laugh that hard at any point during the game. Your mileage may vary here.

A big issue I have with the game is where it resets your entire progress in the story mode when you finish it. Which is awful because I don't want to have to endure 3 or 4 frustratingly bad puzzles to replay one or two levels I may have found amusing.

Update: With the new update, you're once again in control of Donald Rump, where you now have to wrestle, roundhouse kick those "bad hombres", the immigrants and refugees.

I have to admit, I actually laughed out loud quite a few times with the absurdity of a fat orange wig man rotating like a ballerina as random people, even kid characters, are being projected to oblivion.

Should the game continue to be updated as Trump's presidency goes on, this could turn out to be quite a fun little game, and I now recommend this game, seeing as it manages to still be relevant after the election, unlike all the other Trump games out there. Pleasantly surprised.

I recommend this because the premise is alright and it serves as an okay introduction to a greater series. It has branching paths and dialogue choices with certain characters liking you or disliking you. However, I'd prefer it if said choices didn't actually let you know if they were the best or the worst choice, because as it stands, nothing stops you from going with the "best" choice all the time, like they don't even seem to have negative consequences either.

It's more of a demo showing you what this medieval-ish VN has in store. It was short enough to not outstay its welcome, and I'm looking forward to part two and what not. Yeah, you're not getting a complete story here, but since it is free and functional, try it out.

Surprisingly not as easy at it looks, and its simplicity is its biggest strength.

You're an unnamed soldier, apparently purging this building from the weird and dangerous mutants that infest it. You can carry up to two weapons, and a couple of mines as well. Each floor (except the few last ones) contains a special item that can be carried to one of the NPCs in the hub zone, and by doing this you get rewards.

The action's great, the enemies are varied, with some needing a few retries in order for you to figure out how to beat them (instant death, no continues folks!), but it's short enough that you can push through the challenge and complete it.

It's free and functional, why not?

As far as free visual novels go, this was actually some quality stuff. I mean clichés aside (you being a regular dude, weird girl showing up, the works) the twist in the end and the way the story was told at times really made it worth it.

I'd play it if you a passing interest in the genre at all.

A visual novel about a group of friends from I believe somewhere in Eastern Europe sharing "scary stories".

I highly enjoyed some of the artwork, and while the stories themselves are... nothing to write home about (: , this is free and that alone made it worth it. Really short too, so it won't feel like a waste.

This game is as repetitive and as generic as it gets. You're one of three characters (pick the girl character by the way, she's overpowered) who I assume are participating in a dystopian blood sport where you must kill infected (basically zombies/monsters) and survive.

You have multiple stages to choose from, some of them with a few unique perks. That was alright. I liked that. Especially knowing that one of said stages didn't have this continuous horrible red hue in the stage at all times. I know the game is called Red Risk, but when the powerups also have a red aura, it gets confusing and hard to find.

The waves are always the same, and the enemies are always the same regardless if you're in singleplayer or co-op. They don't have a lot of notable abilities. Some of them will stun you for a few seconds. It gets boring real quickly.

The music is your usual uninspired metal soundtrack that goes along any apocalyptic game of this kind. You won't remember it, but it suits the game.

However, aside from a few hiccups here and there in only a select few stages, this game doesn't really have anything wrong with it. It runs well, it doesn't crash, the multiplayer works fine, and for the price that its at, It just doesn't have anything going for it.

I'd say it's okay if you really can't afford anything else and want to spend 30 minutes killing zombies with your friends. So I'll recommend it only for its low price. It's playable.

Okay, this game? It's bad. I mean, it's really bad.

The plot is the "always memorable" my village and family were attacked and now I have to avenge them kind of thing. Nothing spectacular here. The main character has the personality of a brick, and apparently three voices! Yeah, get this: on story cutscenes he'll sound like this tryhard British nobleman, with horrible voice acting that doesn't even match what the subtitles are showing. His second and third voices? Oh man.

He'll say the same canned 5 lines EVERY TIME he spots an object you can interact with, so get ready to hear "what this is, an object"; or the classic "haha, I'm going to get fat". I say he has two voices ingame because some of these definitely sound like Text to Speech, but when you're not moving, the third voice will come in and start singing...?

You'll traverse through 8 different levels, although if I were you I'd stop at the end of level 1. Level 1 allows you to hear this "amazing" voice acting by yourself, have a few laughs, and be in awe of how bad and glitchy this game is. It's like watching a bad movie with your friends, it has a few "so bad it's good" moments, high comedic value.

The gameplay..? Umm.. It's a spamfest. Yeah there's a skill list but I never paid attention to it, since most mobs just die by spamming the attack button. Even if they defend they'll eventually try to attack you but since you're already spamming you'll almost always attack first. The framerate gets godawful at times, and for this game, there's no reason. It looks like something out of PS2 games, and I have nothing against dated graphics, only poor optimization. I love how the game has ranged weapons, and you can use these, yet there is no normal enemy that thinks of even using a bow. Dark Souls this ain't.

There's this Survival Mode with leaderboards but the bad gameplay doesn't justify its presence whatsoever.

It also started putting in jumping puzzles in a certain level as if the engine itself is good for such things.

The soundtrack...? I remember it had tracks that looped for the entire level, and these can take a while. There's only one combat theme but I wasn't expecting variation there. No track comes to mind. Forgettable at best, annoying at worst.

I am fully aware this was a one man team development for this game and while that is admirable, doing such a sloppy job and making the game so glitchy (i've died randomly in midair, got launched to oblivion, got kicked around chasms, you get the point) and badly optimized won't give you an excuse to put this out there and expect praise. Especially when you're charging money for it.

Please don't waste your money on this.

"What this is, an object". - 10/10

It'll entertain you for 10 minutes until the questions start repeating over and over. There is DLC that will add more questions, sure, but I find the game way too simple to get me interested in buying it, so can't really comment if it's worth it or not. It doesn't track your scores, only has one looping track over and over that gets old real fast, and it is way too simple.

At least I learned a few "fun facts". That's about it.
