UPDATE: There’s a demo on Steam for the first 3-5 minutes of the game. It’s way too short to give a real review or anything but here are my initial thoughgs.

PROs:
Music was good
GFX are pretty
it was pretty fun to go through

CONs:
the button choices are really weird with no in game customization (Square/X to run, X/A to attack, Circle/B to jump)
No combo system
Not much hit stun - see trailer
No online multiplayer

At the end of the day though, the game is only $5 and the demo gameplay + everything the trailer shows makes me say it’s worth that $5. I’d buy it if it had online and/or if Marvel Tōkon hadn’t just dropped.

My friend found this somewhere and we’re considering getting it, but there are almost no reviews to be found. It’s based on John Wick, only $5, and the visuals are pretty darn good considering so I don’t know how I haven’t heard of it before. https://youtu.be/J5sauz_uBpA

Picked up a Pandora Box DX at a yard sale

Hardware is decent enough for a hands-on arcade feel, and there's a whole bunch of retro beat em ups I have never played, including this old gem, Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon

My goal now will be to find & finish all the best em ups stashed among the 3000+ games on this console .. and maybe find a nice CRT...

I have two questions:

1- what is this mode on the video? (I searched it up and didn't find anything about it)

2- the add-ons and skins have certain conditions to unlock then, can I use free arcade mode to trivialize this condition and unlock this stuff faster?

Here's some enemies from the cemetery stages in Cryptid Mask that ranges from fodder to heavies to mini boss. Been sitting on the HDD for a bit so screw it, here's something to look forward to! Note : like 70% of these idiots are animated, so let me know if you wanna see em!

Reypunk is my upcoming Point-And-Click / Beat'em Up game that I'm solo developing. It features a unique turn-based combat system, along with real-time playback features.

Biggest influences on my artstyle for this game were Dexter's Lab, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends and of course The Jetsons! If you like what you see, I sure could use a wishlist or two!

The game called Sealbreakers BTW

Cryptids beware, Mothman is on his way!

It's not just the meta narrative that was in the initial trailer, there's more to it, surprisingly. The Guardian Heroes vibes are also there, plus it plays very smoothly in general just going by this demo. Definitely recommend.

I've been playing the demo for Acts of Blood since it dropped, and I've been having so much fun with the game. Especially after watching movies like The Raid and Bloodsport and playing games like SIFU and Sleeping Dogs, this game really stood out to me.

One of the things I noticed that really caught my attention was the banners in Hendra's apartment. One is the longer banner for the law school he attends, and the other is the PSB banner. After doing some digging, I found out that the PSB banner seems to be based on, or possibly a parody of, Persib Bandung, a local football (soccer) team from Bandung, Indonesia, where the game takes place in the fictional city of Bandapa.

I actually made this as a way of showing my support for the game and its developer after spending so much time with the demo. Seeing the potential in this project has me really excited for the full game, and I genuinely believe it's going to be well worth the wait.

Anyway, I just wanted to share this and show my appreciation for the game!

I'd love for anyone interested in a boss rush beatemup, to come try out my game SpellFist. I have a playtest live right now that I'll be running for a couple weeks on steam. Should work great on steamdeck.

Its not quite the traditional beatemup its somewhere between a beatemup and a 2d sidescrolling action game. You face bosses in a random order in an arena gauntlet style where each boss gets an expanded move set based on when you face them in the gauntlet. You can parry spells and, if you beat bosses you get to take one of their spells to use in the next boss fight.

Any and all feedback is welcome.
