Have tons of games thanks to various bundles, but don't play them much due to time constraints :/. A bit more active on Steam.

I've only played three levels of this, and I can already tell that this is an awesome game. I have a non-Desura version of this, so it won't appear on my list. I'll be doing a giveaway of the Desura key on r/GameKeyDump
It's a simple "auto beat-em up" (that really should be ported to mobile if isn't already) that is reminiscent of Kung Fu from the NES, but taken to an extreme. Use the left mouse to attack enemes in your left zone, and right mouse button for those on your right. (PC version) That's pretty much it! Button spamming will cause you harm, so you must time your attacks correctly. There are also enemies that require you to enter the inputs in a correct order and timing that is much like QTE events from many modern games. It does this with very well animated stick figures with a overly stereotypical and extreme Chinese Kung-Fu Movie personality.
My only argument is that much of the graphical assets have that "cheap flash game look" which is a strange juxtaposition to the well drawn character art in the menus, and the use of textures for stuff like grass, water, etc in the map. There's not alot of unity in the art style, but I can easily deal with it for the game's rock solid gameplay
I thouroughly enjoyed this game (despite the lack of controller support, forcing me to use JoyToKey to use a controller) up until the Nueron boss battle, which is among the most annoying boss battles I've ever played. It requires a convoulted process of dropping nearly all your gear, only being able to hit the boss by climbing around the arena, and being forced to pour out and completely loose any health potions you have while he's constantly doing damage to you. Absurdly irritating. Watch a video of this battle or see some reviews before you put money into this.
A very solid and slick Sega/SNES inspired platformer. However, this game isn't CRT friendly, so you need a monitor with a resolution more than 1024x768. Game isn't too hard, and some may say a tad easy - it can be beat well within 4-6 hours with few level retries. I personally find this a good thing as are a ton of games in my backlog, so this game did exactly what it needed to do. Minus two points simply because of the resolution issue (wasn't a problem on my laptop) and some may find it too short (though, he price is fair, so maybe 9 is more fitting honestly)
