I’d be pleasantly surprised to see KOH2 out this year.

Hey, watch out! I got smacked down by Thomas W. Chick when I mentioned Crucible was the exact opposite of little or indie. (And now it’s the opposite of a game.)

2D platformer, building + defense

5332

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.

5333

I’ve been enjoying this too, really nails that 90s feel.

5334

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.

5335

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.

5336

After reading your impressions, it sounds like Story mode is the way to play through this game.

5337

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.

5338

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.

Webbed looks pretty great!

Requiring me to dodge or really defend myself in any way is punishingly difficult. :P

5347

Ooh, finally! I’ve been following this for ages, now that Tom has split off that pesky Arboria discussion I can see the true news that it’s been released! I have always had mixed results with “slingshot / grappling” hook style mechanics, but this has cute spiders so how can it be bad?

5348

@Chappers bought it a couple of weeks ago and it sure is an eyecatcher.

5349

I bought Webbed too - it has one of the most charming trailers I’ve ever watched - but I have yet to play it.

5350

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:
