EarthNight

Platform: Switch
December 3, 2019
EarthNight is a hand-painted roguelike runner about the dragon apocalypse. Dragons have taken over the Earth and exiled the decimated human population to outer space. Our outraged heroes Stanley and Sydney decide to skydive to the planet’s surface, taking out as many dragons as they can on their way. In terms of gameplay, Stanley is a good pick for beginners given his simpler control scheme. Sydney is for experts, with a less intuitive — but ultimately more rewarding — control scheme.

The characters can cancel normal attacks into special attacks, release themselves from enemy grabs and perform several chain movements. You will feel the power of controlling a character that perfectly responds to your actions! Story: In a far future, Earth was devastated by mutants who took control after a worldwide catastrophic event known as "the big pulse", a global scale electromagnetic pulse that put an end to all electronic technology on the planet. Humans are now enslaved by mutants led by "The Boss" in a world ruled by "the law of the jungle". However, not everything is lost two humans and a mutant rebel are willing to fight in order to stop this madness. Will they be strong enough? Well... that's up to you! Main Characters: Gal: A girl who escaped from traders of humans. She's an expert in her own kick-boxing-derived martial art. While her attacks don't have a long reach, her speed and agility have no equal and her technique and endurance are pretty good too. She is capable of avoiding almost every attack, an ability that comes in handy when facing multiple foes. Ricardo: A minotaur human-rights activist and a powerful wrestler. He's not very fast and his technique isn't as good as his comrades', but he has a pretty long reach, and his power and endurance are amazing. He's capable of destroying any enemy in record time! F. Norris: A runaway ninja whose past is a mystery. He's the one who mastered the ninjutsu style known as "the forbidden technique". While he might be pretty fragile compared to Gal or Ricardo, he has a great combination of reach, power and speed, plus an amazing technique that (when mastered) can take control of any situation. Credits: All the game (graphics, design and programing) was created by Sebastián García, while the full OST (composed of more than 40 great tracks!) was created by Gonzalo Varela.

Super Dodgeball Beats

Super Dodgeball Beats

Platform: Switch
September 12, 2019
You only have to glance through any sports newspaper to see that Dodgeball has become the most important sport in the world … well, at least in the newspapers that we read… we place ourselves in the present, in Japan, where three bad students from a secondary school set up a Dogdeball team, in the hope of achieving the popularity that has so escaped them. They will begin by facing teams from other schools in the neighborhood (Initiation Tournament). This tournament will be very short, in which the player faces two teams, in an elimination round. They will go to a final which they will lose (we fix it so that it is so), but the team against which they lose will be disqualified, so they give us a place in the National Major League. Here we play, in a league format (although in a single game, there is no return match), against a total of 10 teams. The top 8 go on to play in the Play-Offs for the title. In fact, our protagonists set up an amateur team and, almost by accident, will find themselves involved in the most important world Dodgeball competitions. Now it’s time to battle it out in the arena to try to win the championship
