Whilst it does have a single-player story mode in which you play as a penis named John on a mission to get a date to his high-school reunion, it is a game best enjoyed with company. Genital Jousting is silly and explicit, a NSFW, casual, party game. I know, I know! It’s a little over £5, but if you’re as mature as me, it’s a lot of laughs for the money! You need to stay alive for 500 seconds (just over 8 mins), which sounds straight forward until you realise that only <0.1% of the game’s players have managed it. If you buy Devil Daggers on Steam, it has a singular achievement, but don’t be thinking it’ll be an easy 100% completion. This, in addition to the online leaderboard, makes for a fairly addictive experience. The game has a fairly simple premise and each game can be (very) short but is implemented well with fast-paced gameplay, varied mechanics and smooth controls. With that lesson learnt, you go on to fight up to 13 different enemies, collecting power-up crystals from towers as you progress. You start in a dark, wall-less room, pick up your dagger and just as you start to wonder what you should be doing, you get attacked by flying skulls and killed. you’ll see! Devil Daggers – £3.99Īvailable on: Steam, Humble, GOG, directly from the developerĭevil Daggers is a fun and brutal little FPS game with an early 90’s feel and some creepy lighting and sound effects. Now to ponder the moral dilemma of whether or not to uninstall the game. There are games within the games and games within those a bit like a pixelated Inception, just with more ponies. I enjoyed the puzzles for the most part, but the randomness of the pony sections made them frustrating at times. Pony Island involves navigating your way around a computer, hacking away and deleting core files, though it’s difficult to explain why without spoilers. The music keeps to the same retro style and does match the game but did get repetitive after a while in some parts. There are some more colourful sections but the themes and overall atmosphere are no less dark. The game has a glitchy 90’s feel and for the most part uses a black and white, pixelated art style. I entered into the experience not really knowing what to expect and was confronted with a puzzle before I could even start the game, though I guess this means I already had? Pony Island has elements from a number of genres but could be loosely defined as a psychological puzzle game. It also has a fair amount of replayability if you want to discover different ways of killing or complete levels in their entirety. The game was a lot of fun and provided something a little different. This provides a quirky contrast to the undeniably violent premise of the game. Observation is key, making note of peoples’ routines and the use of objects will make for much cleaner kills.ĭeath Coming has a very cute, pixel-graphic art style, with music and sound effects to match. Killing selected targets and progressing to the next level is pretty doable, but more planning is required to get multiple kills and truly complete each level. Working out the different ways objects and the surroundings can be used provides a fun puzzle aspect to the game, however, strategy is essential for success. In a manner reminiscent of the Final Destination films of the 2000s, the aim is to utilise the surroundings to create unavoidable accidents, killing those whose time you deem to be up. Each level has a different setting, group of people, and special targets. The player starts the game by dying and goes on to be informed they will now fulfil the role of ‘reaper’, an agent of death.

Available on: Steam, Humble, Apple Store,ĭeath Coming is a morbid strategy puzzle game in which the aim is to end the lives of the everyday folk in each scenario.
