Awful but amazing at the same time. The infamous VR Chat the social platform of a modern society is a great experience tbf. I had such an amazing time with my partner recently and we learned A LOT. going to put a ton more time into this its so much fun if you're being smart and safe and defending yourself from weirdos esp if you encounter chasers like me. Enjoy and stay safe, a beautiful times i've had with this game for sure in my past as well.

Pretty decent smb3 style platformer :3 I really enjoyed the art style & presentation (The CRT filter is one of the best i've seen in a indie title) The music was decent but wish there was more as it got kind of repetitive. The game starts out easy but definitely ramps up a lot in difficulty. I also really enjoyed the second playable character which had some very fun movement/combat abilities to use. The story was decent I enjoyed it and its cool to have a aro-ace protaganist. Sadly the level design & sometimes a lack of new enemies/scenery can make it feel repetitive There were some pretty hard levels and the platforming itself could feel a bit tighter (you are kinda floaty) but still a quite enjoyable game! It was very cute & wholesome x3 Maybe I will come back for the bonus world despite how difficult it is.

a older very short mod for hl2 with some fun sections, I enjoyed the grenade segments & the focus with the gravity gun early on.

Really fun goldsource mod that everyone who likes zombies games/modes should try! Very glad that this is on steam now. It's completely remastered/overhauled with a lot of new content qol & tweaks. Its incredible how much work they've put into this mod and it feels fresh once again. ^^

Genuinely one of the most amazing first person shooters I've played! Amazing value here for $5 it's absurd how games 2x3 times this price don't feel this great to play. Some of the BEST feeling guns & movement I've felt in any shooter. Each weapon feels fantastic, distinct, & punchy. The enemies are smart & have good designs/attacks. I adore how fast you can run & bunny hop almost anywhere very fast & far as well. The techno/ambient music is super fitting & has some bangers. The only problem I had was getting lost but it felt super satisfying finally figuring out where to go. A very under appreciated cheap title please go play Zortch if you haven't. This is a superb indie fps that is worth every single penny. Its feels like an amazing modernized blend of Quake 2/Unreal & I absolutely love it. I am now superrr hyped for Zortch 2, thank you for creating this game. :)

For a 2004 game this cry tech engine title is very beautiful. I love the jungle environments & how some of the guns look & feel but the difficulty on this one is pretty crazy. Stealth is a must if you can get away with it, some of the most intense gun fights in a game I've played. I want to say I liked this game a lot but a good handful of sections being way too difficult for their own good & the game crashing for me at the worst times really soured my opinion on this title. Still a classic game that holds up well for the most part & is worth trying but only if you're willing to put up with one of the hardest fps of the early 2000s.

A pretty decent first person shooter, great music, solid gun play & good variety of bosses, enemies, & weapons. I definitely like quake 1 more still due to that game's atmosphere and guns/movement being a lot more interesting & fun to me but this is still a game worth playing in full.

7.8/10

So cute & so much fun :3 Genuinely one of my favorite games i've played this year this cozy title is very relaxing & the movement/platforming is excellent. I just wish this game was longer I might go back & get the rest of the achievements at some point. Very solid indie that i'd recommend to other platformer enjoyers

The first metroidvania i've completed, very good pixel art & sound design. Some of the other robots you meet too are really cute :) The enemies & bosses were all good & felt fair. Really like Haiku's design itself and the sword is fun to use with upgrades. I still haven't 100% this game (The map is literally at 97.7% and i'm losing it trying to find the rest) & i'm not sure if I will but overall I had a solid time. Though I don't love this game it is still solid & worth playing.

One of my favorite games from IOS back then, glad this is still available and on computers. (It is also on the NES as a homebrew known as NESert Golfing) I also recommend it's sequel Golf on Mars It is just as good. I have a lot of nostalgia for desert golf from my childhood. Putt in the seemingly endless random generated deserts and turn off your mind.

The terrain can generate in very interesting/unique patterns to traverse. Occasionally see some cacti or a body of water. Just small details to keep you playing and wonder what the next course could be.

The physics and satisfaction of doing well on a course never gets old for me. It's such a simple but very satisfying little game that I can play for hours on end.

A perfect small game for just relaxing and or just as a thing when you're bored. Genuinely one of my favorite games to play when i'm depressed or not enjoying life to the fullest. Has helped me turn off my mind a lot the past 8 years I've played it. Going to try to reach the end this time since I've played it a lot but still haven't hit the last hole.
