I enjoyed my time with The Flame in the Flood, especially after researching the crafting options and mentally creating a list of objectives that I felt would lead me to success.
In time, you'll come to recognize situations where you should slow down but these unexpected deaths and frustrations will never fully disappear.
Flywrench is best compared to some of the other games that were developed at the start of the indie gaming boom a decade ago.
Typoman: Revised isn't afraid to test your wits and word descrambling abilities as well as your grasp of the English language (I don't think there would be any way for non-English speakers to complete the campaign).

NeuroVoider shines much brighter in multiplayer.
Developer Videocult took a brave chance with Rain World.
A Rose in the Twilight's dark and atmospheric tone contrasts well with the budding story of friendship between two unlikely individuals but it's the well-crafted and clever puzzles built on just a few simple mechanics that make it a must-play for any puzzle game fan.
Bulletstorm was a great game in 2011 and it's just as enjoyable in 2017.
I don't anticipate that Kero Blaster will have the kind of staying power that Cave Story has but it's a satisfying and challenging sidescroller that retro gaming fans will definitely appreciate.
The Deer God feels like a bit of a chore to play with simple missions and a lack of any interesting or varied level structure.
The robust world and intricate combat system are Cosmic Star Heroine's shining stars but neither aspect is without flaws.
Elliot Quest is a fun and challenging throwback to gaming of long ago and will appeal mostly to those with nostalgia for classic action-adventure games.
Randall has the markings of a decent game, especially when it comes to platforming but the bad dialogue, bizarre design choices, dull combat, and overall glitchiness make it hard for me to recommend in its current state.
Playing Superhot is probably the closest I'll ever come to feeling like James Bond.
I can't say enough good things about Sundered.
The high level of difficulty makes it hard for me to recommend Deadcore to anyone but first-person platformer fanatics.
Graceful Explosion Machine boasts exciting and frantic shooting action, colorful visuals, and a well implemented combo scoring system.
Despite having some enjoyable puzzles, the choppy performance and sterile world make ChromaGun a far cry from the genius that is Portal.
