Timber Tennis: Versus takes far too many liberties with the game of tennis to be enjoyable. Its simple control scheme may be easy to learn, but it proves to be far too basic for both casual and hardcore gamers.

Find the Balance strikes a balance between the world of Jenga and the world of video games. Its control scheme is not a perfect fit for the job, but those looking for a casual title that allows players to be creative can find it here.

URO is a rhythm game that can’t seem to find the beat. Removing an element of timing to the gameplay makes each song overly simplistic, and not matching some of the note charts to each song makes it a challenge to succeed.

Mercury Race’s combo of combat and racing feels like walking and chewing gum at the same time. These two concepts simply do not gel, leading to a disjointed experience when all is said and done.

Steel Vampire’s concept of on-the-fly difficulty settings has merit, but it proves to be far too challenging from the get-go. Its focus on offensive play ultimately puts players at a disadvantage, making it only worthwhile for the most hardened of shmup fans.

Super Captain 3D is an unimaginative shooter that is a follower rather than a leader in the genre. Despite its heroic protagonist, this title plays the part of a villain.

Hexanome is a minimalistic puzzler that skews on the side of obtuse. Throwing players to the wolves without much direction is a bold move, one that will make or break this game for a number of people.

Sonar Beat tries something new with the rhythm game genre, but the small tracklist and spartan stylings do not leave a lasting impression. When paired with its somewhat buggy nature, you have yourself a project that could have used more time in development.

Duke Dashington is over before it even begins, but it provides an interesting puzzle platforming adventure worthy of any treasure hunter.

Toaster Jam is a fun diversion, but it lacks the depth and content needed to keep players coming back. Flying around breakfast-themed environments can be fun, but this may have been better suited as an arcade or mobile title.

JJBoom is a one-note title that lacks any semblance of balance or character. Not only is there a lack of things to do, what is here proves to be far too underdeveloped.

Though INVAXION’s gameplay does not shake up the rhythm game genre, the amount of options available is second to none. Those willing to cut their teeth will find a challenging title that pays tribute to the greats.

Endhall might be small in stature, but it hits all the right notes for a compelling roguelike. Those that like to experiment will find an adventure worth their time, however short it may be.

Life is Pointless lives up to its title by being an absolutely pointless affair. Though players can hit any key to progress, the only two buttons worth pressing are Alt and F4.

Little Comet is a casual title that packs just enough challenge to appeal to more hardcore gamers. Don’t be fooled by its cutesy aesthetics – completionists will have a field day getting every last star.

Synthrun’s broken platforming and bland aesthetics make for an experience that fails to capture the art of parkour or the world of synthwave.

Squidlit is overly simplistic by design, which somewhat works against it. Those that don’t mind a short adventure will enjoy inking their way through its whimsical world, but those looking for something meatier might be disappointed.

Big Dipper’s tale of romance and the holidays has merit, but the game could have used a good copy editor. In its current state, this visual novel is a bit too by-the-books to suggest for those looking for a good story.

Zombie Bitcoin Defense fails to bring anything new to the horde-based shooter genre, proving to be more generic than a B-movie romp.

Cube Mission’s rigid structure does not do it any favors. When paired with its poor optimization, this title quickly becomes a hard sell for even the most diehard of puzzle platformer fans.

Chi Busters is broken on the most fundamental level, and only serves as a vain tribute to the development team and nothing more.

GoatPunks is an incomplete game. Not only is most of the game left unfinished, there is zero balance in the one mode that it does offer.

The Crown of Leaves is a disjointed visual novel that lacks consistency, and its anthropomorphic animals will only appeal to a select few. The end result is something that feels more like fan-fiction than a fully fledged tale.

Unsung Warriors – Prologue does not bode well for the final product. Platforming could use a lot of work, and the current aesthetics leave something to be desired.

Enchanted Path has got a great concept, but it is not taken far enough. Despite its handful of challenging puzzles, it is far too short and full of filler to make any sort of impact in the puzzle platforming space.

Another Sight – Hodge’s Journey drops the ball when it comes to both its level design and its platforming mechanics. Though it is short, it proves to be far too frustrating in the long term to get invested in.

Long Arm of the Law lives up to its title with a robotic appendage that is easy to learn and hard to master. Though it merely serves as a proof of concept, we look forward to seeing the future adventures of Motor Rockwell.

Blask, though a bit on the light side, provides enough challenging puzzles for players to work their grey matter. Those who don’t mind digging around for the right solution will enjoy playing with these beams of light.
