⛳️🏌️♂️ What The Golf? | Review | Nintendo Switch | "The TRUE Zany Golf" ⛳️🏌️♂️ #WhatTheGolf @tribandtweets #IndieGames #GameDev
As a fan of both golf and video games, any time the two collide, I fly into action on a pedal-powered whirligig that uses crossed 9-irons as rotors whilst screaming my battle cry of ‘Tommy Armour III’. I also have a penchant for Warioware-Esque mini-games and so What the Golf? appears to be genetically designed for my gaming palette. Good.

🦜🐦🦉 Fledgling Heroes | Review | Nintendo Switch | "It's Time To Tap & Flap" 🦜🐦🦉 @FledglingHeroes #GameDev #IndieGames #Nindies
Fledgling Heroes is giving me the Flappy Bird vibes but with more feathers and finesse. It has a lovely looking hand-drawn style of graphics and an ultra-tight control system that is easy to learn and hard to master. This is one slick fun video game.
The game does feel very much like a mobile game that has been brought to the switch but that’s no bad thing as the game feels right at home on the Nintendo Switch and gives you a nice zen experience while you flap through this relatively short but fun side-scrolling flapper.

🕹️ I Played That At My Mate's House 🕹️ #Retrogaming #C64 #Commodore64
When I chart back my journey through video games over the years and I think back to my childhood years of playing video games a pivotal moment in video games always took place at a mates house.
From my first moments of seeing a Spectrum to the point where I realised I needed a PC these moments were all borne from a visit to a friend’s house who had the latest console or the coolest game of the time.
So let’s get into my own personal time machine and head on back to those key moments from when I was growing up and discovering video games for the first time.

⬛️ ⬛️ Crew 167: The Grand Block Odyssey | Review | PC | "Block Kicking Fun!" ⬛️ ⬛️ @oddbreezeGames #GameDev #IndieGame
In Crew 167: The Grand Block Odyssey you play as a character called Crew 167 who finds himself alone on a spaceship hurtling towards a destination called Hope 9.
The game plays on the fact that Crew 167 is Isolated and his mind begins to create hallucinations to keep him entertained on this lonely journey.
The cinematic cut scenes attempt to dive into the mind of the character as he tries to make sense of the world around him and the gameplay centres on block-pushing puzzles of old.

🖥️👩🔬 The Advantages of a PPI Calculator in Console Gaming 🖥️👩🔬
The Advantages of a PPI calculator in console gaming
Some modern-day consoles give you a top cut gaming experience in terms of resolution and view. A lot depends on the screen size you are using. In other words, to get the best quality view, you should be aware of the correct PPI value. It defines the number of pixels recommended per inch for the screen. To get accurate measures, you obviously cannot take a measuring tape, count each inch and inject the values in the formula. A good PPI calculator accurately determines the value of pixel per inch in a hassle-free and accurate manner.

⚔️👑 ⏪ Farabel | Review | Nintendo Switch | "Get Some Of That Sweet Sweet Queen Healing!" ⚔️👑 ⏪ @FrogamesFarabel #GameDev #IndieGames
I've been playing Farabel on my Switch Lite* recently and I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised by this Turn-Based Strategy game from Frogames.
Farabel is a turn-based strategy game whereby you start at the end of the story and as you progress through the story mode you level down instead of up.
At your disposal, you have various units that you able to command to beat the enemy to a pulp. As the king, you command these units and also have the power to utilise a limited ability of time rewind within battle which can really even up the odds within the battle for you when used right.

A mash-up of genres that kept me completely hooked for the first few hours, Vigor is a free-to-play title that stands out from the crowd but eventually devolves into standard fayre.
Set in a post-apocalyptic Norway, Vigor casts you as a lone survivor desperately trying to make a living in a series of encounters, empty except for the other players who want their bullets to connect with your head at startling speeds.

💥 What Is Quake Champions, And Why Should You Check It Out? 💥
Of course, the single-player campaign is excellent, full of smart level design choices and well-crafted monster encounters, but that’s not where people’s hearts are.
Quake’s massively influential multiplayer arena mode still draws players on a regular basis because it offers a pure shooter experience many modern games can’t match.

🧛♂️ Vampire The Masquerade: Coteries of New York | Switch | Review | "Fangs For The Memories" 🧛♂️ #GameDev #IndieGames
An interactive visual novel set in White Wolf Publishing’s ‘World of Darkness’ made most familiar to gamers by Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines, a cult title released back in 2004 by Troika Games, Vampire the Masquerade: Coteries of New York (VTM:COTN) is a visual novel with light adventure elements in the form of choices that the player can make.
Whilst this means the game is quite casual in nature, the brevity of the writing and length of the game (3 hours or so) means that it feels accessible and doesn’t get too bogged down in dense text.
On the other hand, those who are used to such heavy-duty visual novels may feel short-changed here.

📚🕳️ The Longing | Preview | PC | "A CAVERNOUS ULTRA-SLOW IDLE ADVENTURE" 🕳️📚 @AnselmPyta #GameDev #IndieGames
It seems strange to be writing a preview of a game that is released but, as the game takes 400 days (real-time) to complete, it felt the only way to proceed.
The game begins with an underground giant king creating your character (the Shade) from the palm of his hand and tasking you to watch over him for 400 days as he sleeps.
Following this, he promptly drops off and you are left to your own devices, wandering the labyrinthine caves and rooms that make up ‘The Kingdom’ and listening to him gently snoring.

🧙♀️🥔 Wunderling | Review | Nintendo Switch | *Wunderling ist Wunderbar!* 🧙♀️🥔 @retroidofficial #GameDev #IndieGames
Set in a colourful, 16-bit world, Wunderling casts you as a potato-ish henchman of the land’s ‘evil’ witch, a broomstick-riding little tinker that spreads the gospel of her wickedness through the medium of an anthropomorphic cow with a TV camera strapped to its back, natch.
At the start of your quest – which will take you across many dozens of levels – you are stomped by the hero, Carrot Man, on his way to rescue Princess Pea (any similarities to existing video game characters are purely coincidental) and brought back to life by the witch and told to stop Carrot Man at all costs, thus your adventure begins.

🧛♀️🦇 Bloodlust 2: Nemesis | Review | PC | "No ‘Suck’ Jokes, Please." 🧛♀️🦇 @Vampire_RPG #GameDev #IndieGames
It’s always impressive to see what extremely small development teams can achieve on a budget, especially when tackling a genre that is usually associated with both expanse and expense.
An Action/RPG hybrid presented in third-person view that takes its cue from a mashup of both Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines (mood, lore and setting) and the Diablo series (heavy focus on loot and dungeon crawling), it aims high but the focus on the more repetitive aspects detracts from the more impressive touches that Bloodlust 2: Nemesis has to offer.
