This game is great if you like a relatively classic space shooter with a very hearty dose of challenge!
In this one, you collect your power-ups that enemies drop in-game. Enemy projectiles come at you remarkably fast and tight-knit so that you have to keep on your toes. Also, the limited space you have to manoeuvre makes it difficult to destroy everything when a swarm comes. Finally, your high score begins at zero regardless of which level you start on, so if your aim is to get a better high score, start at level 1 each time.
I'm not exactly sure though whether the different coloured laser upgrades do different damage, for instance, does the red laser do more damage than the blue since you have to wait longer to get it? Also, with how fast-paced this one is, switching rockets or "secondary weapon" gets pretty cumbersome in the heat of battle. I end up just saving all rockets for the boss at the end.
Overall, this is a good, challenging space shooter worth returning to now and then.

In agreement with other reviewers, this is definitely better than the first. I love that the workers don't have to run back to base and that to collect resources, you just click on them after the workers are finished in a building. Graphics are also a little sharper than the first as well. I like the addition of a level-completion currency (scarabs) that is later used for power-ups. I'm glad the gameplay is more extensive than the first, and I hope there's room to stockpile! I might just buy this one!
I recommend this game!

This is a nice, solid time management game where the Egyptian theme qualifies it, if you like Ancient Egypt in the first place. Gameplay is a little limited though, with not much room to take it up a notch and stockpile. You mainly just have to finish the level quickly enough to get the gold scarab. Graphics are okay, nothing too special. The storyline is an interesting addition, it plays a larger role than the story usually would in a time management. Mostly cool for the theme, but I'm not sure if I'll buy it...
Uncover dark forces emanating from the heart of Old Town and be spellbound by this adorably ghoulish horror-themed puzzle game!

Spooky Bonus is quite a fun match 3. I like the unique pieces and the unusual "bombs" and power-ups. The best part however is the house you can add decorations to and the background art for the boards. Definitely one to come back to in October!
I recommend this game!
A hostile alien fleet threatens humankind. Your mission? Collect the pieces of the top secret weapon that can destroy them all.

Ahh, where to begin? Basically every aspect you can think of about a top-down scroller, and this has the best of it. The sharp, twinkling graphics. The numerous different laser shots, missile sounds, and other ambient clicks and zaps. It's just so perfect. And gameplay is the perfect balance between casual and challenging. Once you get the hang of the controls and what each weapon does, you really can own and master a level. Also, when it comes to your ship and weapons, Astro Avenger is more immersive than the basic shooter, giving the player many different weapon types, upgrades, and ways to equip your ship! This is definitely worth the money in my opinion.
I recommend this game!

GAAH, WHY DOESN'T THIS HAVE A MILLION 5-STAR REVIEWS?!?!
This is exactly the type of pirate game I've been looking for all along! Sail around using your arrow-keys and fire those cannons until the spacebar breaks!!! Pick up crates from sunken vessels for gold, point-multipliers, or cannonball upgrades! Use timing and trajectory to fire upon doddering ships before they're within range! Sail around and enjoy the sharp, bright graphics!
The only negative is that your ship is not customizable. I'd have thought you could at least change the colour of the sails or upgrade to a different class ship. You have to look at the same ship the entire game.
Otherwise, The Perfect Pirate Game!!!

So far I've really liked this game. The graphics are quite sharp and gameplay is so simple even a 1-year-old zombie could play! The levels get steadily more challenging although I haven't encountered a downright impossible one yet. I love how your main zombie is customizable! All in all, definitely worth the money.
I recommend this game!

After looking at the video and screenshots, this game looked so fun. I downloaded it, and the game opens, but only the menu items and the crosshairs render. I can't see any background or even what I'm shooting at. I've fiddled with all the settings in the pre-game prompt, but it's still just a black background when I open the game.
Master this fun and challenging Match-3 game inspired by the magical world of witches and wizards!

Secrets of Magic: Book of Spells is intricately fun and sufficiently Potter-esque to attract any witch or wizard.
The graphics are sharp and properly good, along with deeper gameplay than the usual match 3. Yes, the story is pretty cheesy, but the player can easily gloss over it. The gameplay and graphics both justify spending the money to buy it. I can't wait 'til October when I'll be putting hours and hours into this game!
Oh, and the Music! The music will cause you to put up your Halloween decorations in June, hehehe!

Yes, Magic Life is overtly Potter-esque to the point where Michael Gambon should be in the credits. For this reason, the game is good but also a little disappointing because it was so short and shallow. For example, the number of items in the shops is laughable. Only the colours of items are customizable. You can finish the game easily in under two hours. By the time you're finished: you've learned all the spells, studied all the subjects, completed all the gym programs, bought everything in every shop, become Minister for Magic, upgraded your house to the max, eaten everything in both the tavern and bistro, seen every show etc. There's just no variation in gameplay. Playing through a second time, there's nothing to do differently except maybe finish everything faster so you can accrue loads of money before the final duel. I might play Magic Life again for the novelty of it, but once you've reached the top, there's nowhere to go.
I recommend this game!
