Codename: Black Crow Review
Codename: Black Crow blends the twitch reflex intensity of a 16-bit shooter with the emotional scars of a war story that refuses to glamorize conflict. Beneath the pixel art explosions and brutal boss fights lies a surprisingly human tale about identity, survival, and what happens after the battlefield finally falls silent.
Adventurous Slime Review
A charming retro platformer, Adventurous Slime delivers colourful pixel-art adventures, branching levels, and light RPG progression in a fun, accessible journey through a magical slime kingdom.
Jelly & Toast Review
Sweet, clever, and quietly confident, Jelly & Toast spreads its charm through smart puzzle design and irresistible presentation.
Manafinder Review
Manafinder is a deliberately old-school JRPG that understands exactly what it is trying to emulate, delivering a focused, exploration-driven adventure with thoughtful turn-based combat and strong retro identity, even if its adherence to classic design occasionally limits its modern accessibility.
Soulshard Review
A hauntingly concise puzzle-platformer — Soulshard blends precision gameplay and quiet storytelling into a short but memorable journey through the space between life and redemption.
Stillborn Slayer Review
A brutal, budget-priced roguelike that blends hack-and-slash grit with bullet hell precision — short, savage, and surprisingly satisfying.
Backrooms: Poolrooms Review
A tense, sound-driven survival horror set in the eerie Poolrooms, Backrooms: Poolrooms delivers chilling atmosphere and clever invisible threats — but limited variety holds it back from greatness.
Fred and Jeff: The Atomic Sulfate Review
Ratalaika Games has crafted a delightful homage to classic point-and-click adventures. Fred and Jeff: The Atomic Sulfate balances humor, puzzle-solving, and retro aesthetics into a coherent and highly enjoyable package. It’s quirky, charming, and accessible—a perfect choice for players seeking laughter, nostalgia, and clever gameplay in equal measure.
Tropicalia Review
Tropicalia is a vibrant, colourful life-simulation game that lets players craft their own paradise while balancing exploration, farming, and social relationships. Its charm lies in its open-ended freedom and immersive tropical world, though it occasionally struggles with pacing and depth.
Trenches Review
A deeply satisfying tactical war game that blends thoughtful strategy with tense frontline action. Accessible in its fundamentals but rich in depth, Trenches is a must-play for fans of measured warfare — even if it occasionally stumbles under its own pacing and complexity.
