This was a blast from the past for me. It’s a remake of a game from 1994 called Power Drive that I used to play obsessively on the Sega Megadrive (Genesis). It really nails it.
I’ve been enjoying this too, really nails that 90s feel.
Yes, the game we’ve all been waiting for is finally here: World Flipper is out on an English-language mobile phone application platform near you.
I am finding the combination of pinball (modified with active skills that alter your ball’s movement, or give you multiballs or projectiles) works well with the standard gacha team building stuff. I doubt it will dethrone Holedown as my number one mobile game, but it’s still quite good.
Never Return showed up on my Steam front page and it looks sort of interesting. Still in EA and done by a 4 person team.
After reading your impressions, it sounds like Story mode is the way to play through this game.
Yeah I’d definitely recommend story mode. At first the number of shots allowed seems generous, until you realise that’s because at some point in the level you’re going to be forced to hit the ball through a small gap between two things, whilst also having just the right power to fall into a third thing, and so on.
To add to the misery, there’s no quick way to replay shots or even restart a level. Restarting involves keystrokes, waiting for camera panning, clicks, and finally waiting for your avatar to decide he’s ready with no visual cue for it.
It could’ve been a better game than this, but sadly, it isn’t.
This looks good. That said, while it was novel and cute at first, I’m tired of this low-polygon no-textures look a lot of indie games are going for. I actually really dig how low-polygon models can look, but having everything be flat colors is starting to get old.

Requiring me to dodge or really defend myself in any way is punishingly difficult. :P
I bought Webbed too - it has one of the most charming trailers I’ve ever watched - but I have yet to play it.
I see a few people have put this game on their wishlist.
It seems really cool, but I’ve just left a few messages in the Discussions, because the computer keeps failing to take its turn. I’d hold off on buying until this gets figured out.
Brian posted this back in April with no response so my guess is whoever is developing this doesn’t read steam forums:
Yeah I bought and quickly refunded it because it seemed terribly undercooked.
Yeah, I’d seen your request, and almost reached out to you before buying. My bad. I’m going to put up a review warning others from buying it. It might be the first negative review I’ve got on Steam.
Yeah it’s a shame. I LOVE the concept, but it almost seems to be anandonware right out of the gate.
The dev is the same guy who did the Gods of Havoc trilogy. It looks like they got more support, but never really got finished. He’s probably a guy that likes starting projects more than finishing them.
