| Chico and the Magic Orchards DX on Daikon Games |
The game takes a minute to load but runs smoothly after that. Its retro pixel art and customizable borders capture a nostalgic handheld vibe.
With simple controls, you move, jump, and use a versatile walnut to solve puzzles, open paths, and hit switches. The walnut respawns at checkpoints, keeping frustration low.
Short stages feature straightforward goals like collecting coins and finding keys. Coins unlock extras, but missing one requires replaying the level.
Though brief, the game’s retro charm make it an enjoyable experience!

Welcome to Volume I of a high adrenaline, fast-paced Boomer Shooter where you have only one goal: spread furious mayhem among the scumbags keeping you locked up. Stuck looking for an exit? Just punch through walls and then shoot the suckers behind them.
The game’s art and gameplay style are very enjoyable, offering a nostalgic nod to classic boomer shooters. However, technical issues hold it back. Audio balance is off, with some sounds far too loud, and I frequently encountered glitches, including falling out of the map. Performance also suffered during intense action, with noticeable frame rate drops during boss fights. While the game shows great potential, these bugs and performance issues hinder the overall experience. With more polish, it could be a good game, but for now, it feels like a promising project in need of refinement.

Thank you Monkey for gifting this game to the channel for us to enjoy!
Very comfy, cozy game with amazing scenery. It’s not incredibly difficult but it doesn’t really hold your hand either. You can get lost looking for the next objective but it’s okay because there are beautiful visuals and the soundtrack is super relaxing. This is not a game I would normally play but it was an enjoyable experience! Looking forward to the sequel!

| Forgive Me Father 2 on Steam |
The game combines dark comic visuals with Lovecraftian horror for a uniquely eerie atmosphere, as if pulled from a supernatural graphic novel. Fluid movement, an intense soundtrack, and brutal, weighty weapons create fast-paced combat that challenges both reflexes and strategy, demanding quick, skillful decisions.

Grab your trench coat, tune your sixth sense and join the Darkside Division as they investigate the outright bizarre, the downright dangerous and the confusing cases of Twin Lakes. Flesh-hungry tentacles, mafian zombies, and the occasional missing sock are no match for The Darkside Detective.

Simple but fun point and clicker! I really enjoyed the quirky humor and music throughout.

| RUINER on Steam |
Incredible visuals, an amazing soundtrack, and engaging gameplay! It's challenging but definitely doable. I had a blast dashing around with melee weapons—it’s super fast-paced. I casually finished the story in roughly 10 hours and really enjoyed the experience.

| Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice on Steam |
It’s an emotional ride filled with themes of regret, doubt, terror, and anguish, but there’s also that tiny flicker of hope that keeps you going. I loved how it ties into Norse mythology; the optional lore bits add such depth and are really fascinating to explore. You can truly feel the love and dedication Ninja Theory poured into this game, especially in how they collaborated with scientists and mental health professionals to accurately depict the struggles faced by those who suffer from these conditions. It’s clear they wanted to create a respectful and authentic representation, which I deeply appreciate.
I finished the game in just under 10 hours, and I was blown away by the stunning graphics, powerful audio, and compelling story. I am really looking forward to playing Hellblade 2!

My Friend Pedro is a violent ballet about friendship, imagination, and one man’s struggle to obliterate anyone in his path at the behest of a sentient banana.
What an absolute wild ride this game was! I had a blast from start to finish. The gameplay mechanics and the soundtrack were fantastic. What I really enjoyed was how the game constantly introduced new elements as you progressed, so it never felt repetitive or stale.
The variety of items you could interact with was such a treat. Pulling off a perfect environmental takedown felt incredibly satisfying, like I was part of the world, manipulating it to my advantage.
Banana says pew pew, you pew pew.

Introducing Rectangle Guy, a brand new game by The Bare Minimum Studios. Rectangle Guy (game) features Rectangle Guy (character) in this platforming adventure! With many challenging levels and exciting boss fights, there's no shortage of things to do and see in this wacky game.
Simple yet challenging, this game strikes a perfect balance between heart and humor—clearly, a lot of passion went into crafting every detail. The humor throughout had me smiling even during the most intense moments, and the level design is nothing short of brilliant. Each theme feels fresh, and while the challenges push you, they never feel impossible, just the right amount of tricky. Plus, the soundtrack? Pure fun! It added so much to the experience, making even the toughest sections enjoyable. You can really feel the love in this one. Great job, dev, truly!

Run, Jump, Dash, and Bawk your way through this quirky infinite runner. As a charming chicken with superpowers, you’ll collect whacky items, catch rowdy rascals and soar to new highscores in Super BAWK BAWK Chicken!
I haven't played an endless runner style game with this much insanity! The devs definitely had a ton of fun making this and it shows!
A delightful mix of obstacles ready to trip up little Clucky, all set against a range of charming map areas that keep things fresh and fun. What’s really cool is that you can adjust the starting run speed letting you either blast off at full speed or ease into it with a slower pace—either way, you'll hit that same final sprint! Plus, the music and sound effects? Absolutely adorable and perfectly crafted. I spent over 9 hours in my first play of this game helping Clucky turn into fried chicken because I died a lot.
Let it be known - ya boy bambamthetanman had the lowest high score on multiple levels! (Lethal Magpie)

Set in a far corner of space, Valfaris is a heavy metal infused 2D action-platformer and the next game from the team behind Unity Awards finalist, Slain: Back From Hell. Brutal combat. Deadly enemies. Stunning pixel art. Savage soundtrack. Get ready to rip the galaxy a new wormhole.
HOLY SH*T THIS GAME IS DIFFICULT!
That being said, I haven't played a game like this in quite some time and I had a lot of fun. Gotta have the patience of the gods to get through this unless you're a hardcore player of this style game. Beautiful pixel art and heavy metal soundtrack/sound effects. It ran buttery smooth while streaming and recording among a plethora of other things running on my PC at the same time. Haven't finished it yet but gonna come back for seconds!

Rollerdrome is a BAFTA award-winning third person action shooter that seamlessly blends high octane, visceral combat with fluid movement and tricking mechanics into one complementary and challenging whole, to create an original adrenaline-pumping shooter experience like no other.
I've never played anything quite like this before. I did an 8+ hour stream of Rollerdrome, and it was a blast to play! Imagine Max Payne meets Tony Hawk’s, and you’ve got the essence of this game. The soundtrack is fun, the weapons are fun to use and the comic book art style is something I really liked. The game demands a lot of multitasking since everything happens fast, but that was incredibly enjoyable for me.

Race your space pod through a procedurally generated gauntlet of space stations, asteroids, and industrial megastructures in this single-player sci-fi endless runner. Test your limits, compete on global leaderboards for top rankings, and become a master pilot where speed is your plaything.
| Descent Vector: Space Runner on Steam |I had a lot of fun with this. The gameplay is simple but quite the challenge. Eating jalapenos every time I died was pretty funny too! The controls are smooth, and the sense of speed is spot on, making every close call feel like a true victory.

An action based shooter based in Australia where everything wants to kill you.

Roo-roos creeping up on you? Check! Venomous spiders? Check! Goats? Check! Lightning strikes sparking fires all around you? Check! It’s the Australian outback, where everything that moves—and even Mother Nature herself—seems determined to take you down.
I had an absolute blast playing this game and look forward to coming back to it in the future, especially as updates are released. It looks fantastic and runs incredibly well. It's truly impressive what one dev can do. He is actively working on updates for the game and very open to feedback.
-
Great game and enjoyable soundtrack! The maps are fun and well thought out. I normally play with M&K (mouse and keyboard) but I actually preferred to play this game with a controller. No issues on my PC while running a ton of other things and streaming!

| The Textorcist: The Story of Ray Bibbia on Steam |
This was a tough nut to play but so addicting at the same time! I've played bullet-hell games before but never while typing. I had a couple of glitches but fun dialogue and story, definitely worth checking out if you enjoy a challenge!
-
| Effie on Steam |
Cute game with fun puzzles, great voice acting, and great overall aesthetic! I had a couple of spots where I had to reload due to glitches but I still enjoyed the game!
-
| Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn on Steam |
Having never played any Souls or Soulslike game before, I was unsure if I would enjoy this one. However, after charging into the first boss fight with no gear and spending a few hours learning how to defeat him, I'm now hooked! The mobility in this game is fantastic. Despite experiencing some performance stuttering and crashes, I've still been having an absolute blast!
-
| The Henry Stickmin Collection |
These games bring back the old Newgrounds memories. Hilarious antics whether choosing the right or wrong answers. I had crashing when playing, even when I turned the resolution down to 1080. Other than that, I had a great time!
-
Beautiful game and some of those puzzles had me stumped! Very "Lovecraftian" but remained its own story at heart.
-
What more could you ask for with wild physics and racing? I played this on stream and connected the eject to a command the chat could use for even more fun. EJECTO SEATO CUZ!

| Chicken Police - Paint it RED! on Steam |
This was a fun noir detective themed game! I really didn't know what to expect going in to this but I came out having had a good time! The voice acting and music really set the tone and the puzzles were great!
