Devcats always make great games and this is no exception! A fun hidden object game, with a number of references to their other cat games. Well-made, no bs hiding spots (though some of the interactable spots are tricky) and a cute little story to tie everything together. If you haven't tried their other hidden cat games, they're all fun for a few hours :)

Really enjoyed this demo! I really like how the different types of dice interact with each other. I'm excited to see what new ideas will show up in the full release!

It's definitely worth a few hours to see if you like it :)


To the devs, endless mode might be more interesting if you bring back the boss to fight again. I kept clearing floor after floor to see if anything would change (got to 120 and had enough at that point). I get it's a demo though so no worries if it's not your focus!

I think it's a pretty fun game! On my first go at it, the mechanics were interesting, but it felt really tough to make progress. Enemies did a lot of damage mid game and there just wasn't enough healing or abilities to maneuveur properly.
I decided to come back and give it another shot. I upgraded level-up speed and starting taking a health potion in, things started to click! I could manage all of the enemies while feeling like a powerful hero.

Still though, I beat the game with archer and thought the game was just fine. But I decided to up the difficulty to savage to get some of the achievements. As I was trying out some of the other characters (starting with the thief), they just seemed so underpowered. I couldn't clear all the enemies to progress. I said ♥♥♥♥ it, I'm gonna spam invisibility and sneak past everything, while taking out a few enemies for level ups. AND IT WORKED! Suddenly a tedious run through the dungeon became MUCH more strategic as I had to work around the class restraints. I had so much more fun on this second "playthrough" and it made every class feel unique. Now was it necessary to make an achievement "run through EVERY level with ALL 6 characters"? God no, it really dragged at the end

But all in all I did really enjoy going through this little gem of a game!

Banzai Escape 2 is clunky, strange game. And somehow it's really entertaining! There's not a lot to it, each level will have you complete objectives (like saving hostages) while you gun down constant waves of enemies. It's the kind of game where its infinite spawns until you complete the task. But it's just...fun? They've got a bunch of different guns and perks, with 3 tiers (grey->blue->gold) that are fun to try out.
They also have an interesting mechanic where the blue currency that buys guns and augments are what heal you in combat, so you try to preserve them as much as you can. Pretty neat idea!

After just over 6 hours, I've done one run of the levels released. You can prestige them in a way by beating them with harder enemies and there's an achievement for doing it 10 times :o
But I think I'm happy with where I reached. It definitely was a game worth trying and its free!

I tried this because people were saying it causes motion sickness. I didn't feel sick, but the way you control the ship, I'm not surprised people have trouble with this one. Anyway, for a free game, it's pretty good. You'll be doing the same thing every level with 3 difficulties. Avoid obstacles while driving over speed boosts to stay ahead of the virus and collecting currency to upgrade your ship or give you more time. It's pretty basic, but I enjoyed it enough to go for the achievements. Getting 3 stars on everything can be frustrating because it involves collecting almost all the currency in a level and sometimes you just can't turn the ship fast enough. But again, worth a few hours of play

A beautiful tribute from a grandson to his grandfather. It's an important story to tell, a painful past in Canada's history. My heart breaks when I hear these stories. The Book of Distance does a great job of bringing you into the scene, with little objects to interact with. Sure, it's only around a half hour, but it's free game that's worth your time.

It is a bit finicky with Steam VR. I had to try a couple methods to get it working. But when it finally let me watch, I enjoyed the ride!

I like sniping games + I like anime art style -> perfect game for me!

Seriously though, the missions are unique and while nothing is really revolutionary, it's fun for the time you play it. Around 5 hours for me to 100% it, and I'm sure I'll come back every once in awhile to play some missions again. If you're wondering, there's no bullet drop or wind to deal with, just crosshair swaying that can be mitigated with level ups.
Still worth the $10 if you ask me!

What a story. I originally played this because Spike Chunsoft made Danganronpa and I thoroughly enjoyed that series. But this game, it blew all my expectations out of the water. The gameplay was interesting with the many branching paths and switching perspectives on the same story. The story twists were unexpected and huge. The characters grew and changed. The endings...there was so much to like in the bad ends! Some were hilariously comedic. Others were downright chilling. It added so much interesting content to the game, I was wanting stop the main story just to see these alternate paths! Plus, after you beat the main story, there's bonus content to go through! My play time will keep going up.

My only gripe with this game is the lack of a skip text feature. Some bad endings shared dialogue with the correct pathway and the only way to "speed up" was by holding the "next" button and it barely made it go any faster. So yeah, parts felt a bit a slow.

But besides that, this game really caught me off guard and has elevated itself to one of my favourite visual novels of all time! If you're on the fence on this game, I'd heavily recommend you give it a try. Check it out, especially when it goes on sale!

My hour count should show how much I love this game. Joining on Day 1 and still playing. The movement is satisfying and you always feel like you're getting better. There is a lot of progression when you start out and it'll take a number of hours to get all the relics and bless all the whips! There's even movement options to master, like ledge boosting and crouch jump storage that reminds me of the hours I spent in TF2 learning rocket/sticky jumping.

It's not without faults, some complain about the difficulty, others mention the guardians needing work. What I can say is that the game is evolving and the devs host a Q&A biweekly on the Devolver twitch channel and the discord has plenty of people to interact with and make suggestions.
All I want to point out is that this is truly an Early Access game. The core system is there, with plenty to love and dig your teeth into. As the devs roll out update after update, things are improving and changing. They are passionate about this, and want to see it succeed. But it is a small team who can only work so fast. I recommend you give it a shot and see how this grows!

Original review:
I can see this turning into something special! The whip adds so many movement options when compared to a standard platformer. The more you play, the more you're able to judge whip distance, platforms to skip, and ideal routes to get to the exit. Day 1 I was concerned when I saw many of the same sections repeated in the many temples I ran through, but coming back the 2nd day, I saw new variants and different treasure hiding spots! As long as the layouts keep changing, I'm sure this will keep being enjoyable. Not to mention, the different whips change your game plan. One lets you get more coins from chests, but if any phantoms grab the chest before you, you get nothing. So you have to be quick, or wait until later levels to get coins for perks.

I've really been enjoying this one and would recommend you give it a shot!

The writing is clever and it's a really fun game to explore! I found after a few hours, I looked up a few endings, did some in game, and have set it aside since. It's one of those "experience" types of games that don't have a lot of replayability but are well-worth their price. Maybe get it on sale if you're not sure, but I'm sure you'll get some fun out of it!
