To play perfectly and still lose is what Mahjong is all about.

Bit.Trip Rerunner is a love letter to the entire Bit.Trip series. It's like seeing an old friend you haven't seen in years and picking up right where you left it. If you're a fan of Bit.Trip or the Runner games it's worth your time.

Rerunner has all the quality of life and enhancements from the later Runner games like checkpoints and dancing so if you found the original Runner to be too punishing but still liked the game it's worth looking at Rerunner.

An exemplary game for precision platformers. It's in the same class as games like Celeste, Super Meat Boy, and N++. If you love these kinds of games you owe it to yourself to play Mr. Run and Jump.

Race the Sun has a lot of depth to it for how simple the controls are, don't let the simpliscity deceive you. There's still a reason to come back to this game once you unlock everything because the world generation will be different tomorrow. There's also Apocolypse mode if you're feeling suicidal and want something intense.

Great game if you're looking for something arcadey or to pass the time.

SkyDrift reminds me a lot of Crimson Skies with some Diddy Kong Racing plane racing mixed in. SkyDrift rewards risky flight paths and gives you bonuses for style. It's as fun as that sounds. Controller is HIGHLY recommended for this game. Keyboard/Mouse just doesn't cut it for flying games. The game itself is great, but the online community is non-existant. Buy this game only if you have friends that will play it with you because the single player doesn't last that long, maybe about 3-4 hours, unless you intend to 100% it.

A few times I played this game online seemed to have a few problems with the netcode with players not synchronizing properly. I would appear to finish first by a long shot only to be given third place. I'm not sure if it was a problem with the player connections or if it's the netcode, but no one plays this game online anymore unfortunately so I have no idea if it was fixed or not.

This game is relentlessly difficult and fun, even more so with friends.

It's more fun and addicting than it looks.

Runner 2 surpasses its predecessor in every way. The look may be different but it's still very much like the first Bit Trip Runner but on completely different level. The difficulty curve is smoothed out, accessible to casual players yet challenging for the veterans, the music is fantastic, and you have the soothing voice of Charles Martinet (aka the voice of Mario). Runner 2 is one of the best platformers I've ever played.

This game somehow manages to give colored rectangles and squares character and personality. I usually don't go into indie platformers and end up getting a fantastic narrative. The platforming is compelling enough gameplay wise and the narrative is amazing despite looking so simplistic.

New puzzle mechanics, beautiful environments, and online co-op makes Trine 2 pass its predecessor and thensome. Your characters have new abilities to play with this time around, but they still have the same basic functions. If you enjoyed Trine, you should buy Trine 2.
