The developers included themselves in the game. They may be killed too. Your choices will have consequences, which will lead you towards one of the many different game endings.

Developer Wales Interactive has revealed that Typoman is coming to the Nintendo Switch. The word-based puzzle platformer will arrive on the console on February 22 thanks to Brainseed Factory porting it from the Wii U version that had earlier released. Typoman uses letters and words to interact with gameplay, with the player able to put together phrases or words that will then take on the properties of whatever they managed to spell. The game will retail for $12.99 / $9.99 but will have a 20% discount when it first arrives on the eShop. “We’ve been following Typoman for quite some time, ever since Brainseed Factory and Wales Interactive featured together on the Nintendo stand at Gamescom 2015,” said David Banner of Wales Interactive. “We admired the creativity and originality that the game possesses and we’re thrilled to now be publishing the game on Switch. Originally released on Wii U, we can’t wait to bring Typoman to the new generation of Nintendo console this February.”

N++ Review

N++ Review

, , , , 0

N+ was one of the most highly acclaimed indie platformers of the last generation. With its deceptively simple controls and concept, it managed to dazzle players across the Xbox Live Arcade and other platforms. Thanks to a distinctive style and increasingly complex levels it was also able to become a game that critics recommended to everyone. In that sense, N++ has plenty to live up to if it is to be considered a success. The title works in almost exactly the same way as its predecessor. You are a ninja who will die if they hit any sort of enemy or dangerous obstacle. Falling with enough speed is also deadly, as is running out of the gold metabolism. This means that you have to avoid being hit whilst making it to the exit and collecting as many gold pieces as possible to increase your lifespan. The only tools at your disposal are the ability to run and jump. The main challenge comes from making it to the exit. There are

Black The Fall Review (Xbox One)

Black The Fall Review (Xbox One)

, , , , 0

Black The Fall is the first game from new developer Sand Sailor Studio. At first glimpse it will probably instantly remind you of the likes of Inside, another monochromatic puzzle platformer. Yet, when you get down to the nitty gritty it becomes obvious that Black The Fall is a very different game, in terms of its underlying themes and plot as well as the way it plays. Of course, none of that matters unless it is a good game, so let’s take a look at it. While most recent games of this type have attempted to be cryptic and mysterious in terms of their overall story, Black The Fall is much more open about its influences and message. It is intended to be a harsh criticism of oppression and is obviously heavily inspired by the communist regime that its Romanian developers had to endure. The harrowing communist future that is Black The Fall is bleak to an exaggerated extreme. The rows of buildings are just carbon copies of each other.

Seasons After Fall (Xbox One) Review

Seasons After Fall (Xbox One) Review

, , , , 0

Out of all of the genres available in the gaming industry, the 2D sidescrolling platformer has seen the biggest boost from the advent of indie developers. What was once a dying art form has become the go-to field for small studios looking to make their mark in the world. In that respect, Seasons After Fall has a great deal of competition to vie with as it releases on the Xbox One for the first time. The only thing remains to be seen is whether it can stand out on its own merits in what is a crowded domain. In this game, you start off as a rather large seed in a mysterious location. Rising up to The Sanctuary, you soon take control of a nearby fox that becomes your physical form, allowing you to travel around the world. Your journey is started by a disembodied voice that directs you to your next task. Unlike many other games in this genre, Seasons After Fall does not rely on pure platforming skills

It looks like the Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 will be releasing at some point in the near future, as the bundle has been rated for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in South Korea. The ratings board entry reveals that this collection will include Mega Man 7 through 10, ensuring that all of the classic titles from the series are available on the latest consoles. The moves isn’t that much of a surprise considering that Capcom  have already released an earlier collection of the first six Mega Man games last year to moderate success. The timing also fits as developer Digital Eclipse has just finished work on the Disney Afternoon Collection.

Metrico+ (Xbox One) Review

Metrico+ (Xbox One) Review

, , , , , 0

From the very first instance of starting up Metrico, it is clear that it is a very minimalist experience. The visuals are sparse, the controls simplified, and the gameplay rather basic. Even the entire premise of the title is minimal, with you being charged with manipulating the world to overcome obstacles using your own movement as the catalyst. While this might sound like a very compelling experience, Metrico ends up being a charming and challenging game that impresses with its subtle presentation and difficult puzzles. The game instantly throws you into the first of six levels without any real instruction or tutorial. Instead of listening to directions, you simply have to discover how your actions interact with the world and control obstacles. Some will move as you jump, others will slide into new positions when you travel to the left. Each area is different and requires you to experiment with exactly how you move around until you get to the right answer. It strikes a careful balance between not telling

Mekazoo (Xbox One) Review

Mekazoo (Xbox One) Review

, , , 0

Mekazoo is a platformer that sees the player traverse the world using different forms of mechanical animals that all have their own unique abilities. According to the studio behind the title, it is inspired by the iconic platform games of the past, though it isn’t clear exactly that it is the positive aspects of those classics that they have brought forward. The first thing you will notice about the game is its rather distinctive art style. The team behind the game have gone with a sort of cross between old school platformers and neon lights that creates a rather bizarre but memorable look. The 2.5D perspective also means that the game can experiment with different transitions and employ some cool effects as you travel around the different landscapes. Unfortunately, it can also become somewhat distracting at times and it is incredibly easy to lose sight of yourself amongst the bright flashes that are constantly displaying on the screen. This is compounded by the performance issues that severely hamper the overall

Cyber Chicken Lands On Steam

Cyber Chicken Lands On Steam

Cyber Chicken – a 2.5D side-scrolling action platformer set in a dystopian New York City of the future – has launched on Steam. Play as a military-grade cyber-organism facing a cyberpunk revolt in this balls-to-the-wall homage to ‘80s action heroes. The Fakebook, Big Bucks Coffee, and intergalactic leader GW have played you for a fool. They had you wasting your time chasing after scrawny cyberpunks instead of the real villains. It’s time to take these corporate giants down … one bullet at a time. Equip a Magnum 357,000, Napalm Flamethrower, Sawed-Off Howitzer, Thermonuclear Dual Uzis, and more — must-haves if you want to make a dent in the universe. You can also upgrade your weapons and platforming abilities at Big Bucks vending machines — but avoid going into debt: If you owe money (and fail to pay on time), the nastiest corporate accountant known to man (“The Collector”) will track you, kill you — then steal all of your hard earned upgrades. Thomas Brooke, creator of the game, spoke about the
