You just hold down W for endless time and move around cars that take no skill to avoid.... it's pretty to look at for about 5 minutes but that's it. maybe if you wanna just vedge out and listen to music and turn your brain off to let your reflexes take over, this would be good for that.... but there's probably plenty of other games better at that. this feels more like a tech demo than a game.

Honestly a pretty garbage game. Not the worst racing game I've played on Steam, but pretty bad. i got it to see if it might scratch some of that F-Zero or Wipeout itch for a cheap price. and well once you get the hang of the bad controls, it's way too easy and stupid. there's 2 achievements and they aren't even for real races in the game. since this is a limited profile game, it's not even worth getting it for the easy achievements as they don't' effect your game completion average or total games 100% anyways. can't even showcase the achievements. there's really no point to this game unless you want to pay 99 cents for a lack luster F-zero clone that's way too easy.

This is an absolutely garbage racing game. I only got it in the first place because on the outside it looks like a clone of Need for Speed Underground which I used to love on the Game Cube.

This is barely a shell of that game, terrible.
I played for just a few minutes and already it was nearly unplayable with how bad it's set up. My first race, there's no indication of which direction I'm supposed to go. I'm bumper to bumper with another car, and the race starts. well i gun it going forward, and the CPU car does a 180 and starts racing in the other direction.... apparently the race started us both backwards and I was supposed to turn around also? there was absolutely no indication of that what so ever.

so I tried the race over again. this time.. the CPU car went forward! when I thought I was supposed to spin around, again no indication at all. I tried to go forward then... and well it's sort of an open city map... and the track or race you're supposed to take is not marked at all, not even on the mini map. I had no idea where I was supposed to be racing and then the CPU car crashed into a wall and got stuck... before finally moving on the invisible race track that I didn't know how to follow.

terrible terrible racing game.

The story of this game is pretty cool, I'll give it that. and I have a bias to praise it a bit as last year, (2024), we used this game for our Mother's Day project on Hyper Frost Productions YouTube. a Voice acting dub for it.

However... this game plays and controls like crap. most egregiously the jump has a delay. and for a 3D platformer, that is a death sentence. there's almost a quarter second delay from hitting space to jump to your character actually jumping. so trying to run and time your jumps from one platform to another makes every level a slog to get through.
finally figured out if I stop holding W just before I hit space to jump, and then hit W again once I'm air born it makes the jumping a tad easier. However it was still a night mare to get through. dying constantly, not by fault of the player but by fault of the horrible controls and the jump delay.
there's also no way to adjust the turn speed or sensitivity from the mouse, which really throws it off. and I don't know if this was an issue on my computer or if it was the game, but it would lag randomly at times when I was trying to do precise movements. so between the delayed jump, the laggy game movement, and the ramped up turning speed from the mouse it was difficult to get through it all. somehow I still managed to get through he game in a merciful 30 minutes.
Which shows the game is also very short comparatively.
but it has a very good story, with a gut wrenching ending.

the one downside to the story though is shoe horning in gender crap about the baby choosing it's own gender. which is nonsense. thankfully that was the only left wing crap in the game I could tell.

the cow lady was sexy though.
but with how horrible the game's controls are, I can not recommend this game. just go watch the fan dub of it on the Hyper Frost Productions channel. we did voice acting for every thing in the game, except the gender part, skipped that.

This game and Neon Drive were made by the same company. It feels like Neon Drive was a proto type for what this game, 80's Night, would be come.

This is still barely a game though, but is still a big improvement over Neon Drive.

So what's the objective of this game? you hold W to drive straight, you use A and D to turn left and right to change lanes and avoid hitting other cars. You keep driving as to get points. that's it.
you get achievements based on points.

In order to get said achievements, you have to quit the game. so if you do go from 0 to 5000 in one setting, you will get every single achievement in the game at the same time. Making it look like you used SAM or something like that, so be aware.

Anyways, so how is this game different from Neon Drive?

Both have 4 lanes of traffic, however in Neon Drive, the right lane is always empty so you can just stay there and keep going. In 80s Night, all 4 lanes have traffic so it's already an improvement there making it you actually have to play'
In Neon Drive, there's no auto straighten. so you're constantly tapping A and D to try to stay in the lane you're in till you change. but they improved that in this game. once you finish turning, you automatically straighten out going forward, very good!
This game has achievements where Neon Drive does not.
There does seem to be more progression to actually work for in Neon Drive, as you earn money by driving and can buy different cars. I never earned enough to buy one as the game was too boring for me to play more than a few minutes with no achievements to go for.
80s Night isn't much better but at least there's achievements to work for. I played it long enough to get them all, and that's it.

this is barely a game, good for shutting your mind off for a bit to just passively drive with reflexes as you listen to a podcast to get achievements.
Neither this nor Neon Drive have music.
If you just want an easy driving game you can get a bunch of Letter achievements for, play this for about 20 minutes and you're good. Don't bother with Neon Drive.

this one is hardly worth it either.

A very enjoyable Idle Game.
Starts out outside just as a run down old haunted house, but by the time you get late game it's decked out like the most epic and sick Halloween Party you could imagine. With witches flying around, a Lovecraft horror squid reaching out the bottom, and zombies shimming around all around.
Also unlock other rooms, like a prepper bunker, the main hall, and a mad scientist lair in the basement. as well as a haunted bathroom in the most recent update as of the time of this review.

I'm not one to explain to you what an idle game is or how they work, just that this is a good fun one.

This is one of those games I wish there was a middle option on the reviews. not recommended but not a full on dislike either.

The basics of this game is you play an unnamed astronaut sent to Mars to investigate an SOS and the loss of contact with the residents on the colony there. Once arriving, he has to defend various generators from mutants/aliens/Martians/something. It's not really clear what they are, and only one of the cutscenes references them as "mutants".
The game looks like a typical Flash game of old and not very complex. basically a 2D wave survival game with you against a bunch of mindless enemies that only walk back and forth. there's different types of mutans, starting with just the red ones. but every few levels or less, a new variant appears, from green ones that tank 4 times as many shots, to speedy blue ones that much faster but can't take a hit. and flying ones that move slow but do a lot of damage. The enemies will path find towards the generator on each mission and start attacking it, or if you get close enough to them they will attack you also, however they never specifically go after you, even in the last level that has no generator and you just have to kill a bunch of them.
If they destroy the generator, which has a health bar, you lose, or if you lose your health you lose. The game is fairly easy and power ups like health or other weapons spawn constantly. so it's difficult to actually die. I never actually died. but I did struggle on one of the levels where they kept destroying the generator. but I finally figured out the pattern on the 4th try and beat it no problem. I didn't lose any other rounds.

You have unlimited ammo in your gun, but 4 shots before an automatic reload. you can also pick up temporary weapons around the map that spawn and range from faster firing machine gun with a larger magazine to a big plasma gun to even a 3 shot plasma shotgun. Each one also has unlimited ammo but with reloading needed after a few shots. however each one you can only have for 30 seconds.

the game isn't bad, but needs some quality of life updates to be good. for one you have no idea how many enemies you have to kill for the round to end. There is no enemy counter, there is no progress bar or any time limit. there's no indication at all on your progress during a round. you just have to keep killing mutants until it says you win. these can last from 5 to 10 minutes sometimes. there really needs to be an indicator of how many to kill.

there's 12 rounds where you defend a generator. they aren't to difficult except for one. and then the final round 13 is you just have to kill a bunch of them till you win. no generator. it's not difficult, just needs improvements. If you don't die or have to start over, you can beat it in about an hour. It's nothing to write home about but can be a fun little time waster for an hour.

Not bad... but not good. and there's enough material here I can make a voice acting video on Hyper Frost Productions.

A fun puzzle game with cool mechanics. Not too hard to pick up, can be a bit to master, but should only take you maybe an hour or two max to beat it.

Good game, short and fun puzzle. Nice scares.
It's very short, good story, and very well done for a free project. I talked with the developer and she and her friend did this as an intern project while trying to apply for Blizzard. so this is very impressive.

this game starts out fun for the first few levels but becomes an absolute slog later on.

In order to progress each level, you hide a number of Easter Eggs as the bunny and then get to the exit. To do this there are highlighted circles that randomly spawn in locations on the map, every time you are defeated or start a level over they are in new locations at random. you have to walk to a circle, press "Z" to drop an egg there and then go to the next. once you do like 3 of 3, 5 of 5, or 6 of 6.. you then return to the exit and have a 5 second extraction timer.
If kids walking around the map find an egg, they steal it and you have to go retrieve it from the base they take it to and hide it again. if they see you with their vision cone, you lose. if they get 3 of your eggs to the HQ and you don't get them back in 30 seconds, you lose.

These kids arn't difficult to avoid in the first few levels but it can get annoying figuring out a good timing to put eggs in circles and then sprint to the exit and extract before one is found. this becomes soooo tedious in later levels, to the point I had to stop on level 12 as the sheer random chance of the placement of the circles and the walking of the kids makes it a massive game of luck and timing.

The achievements are tied to collectables, carrots in each level. you can get the carrot achievement separate from beating the level or not. that's my recommended strategy. starting a new level, don't worry about hiding eggs. try to find all the carrots in one life without being spotted to get the achievement. then do the eggs. you do not have to do them at the same time.

Here's an issue.. level 8 is broken. You're supposed to collect 6 carrots on level 8 to get the achievement for that level. There are only 5 carrots. I am not the only one who's found this problem. level 8 achievement is impossible to get without tools and i do not advocate for that at all. Unless you're a filthy cheater, it is impossible to get the level 8 achievement. so if you do have the achievement, people know you cheated.

that is all. don't get this game
