A short piece of VR software centered on memorization, originally made for study participants (like me! I found this on Prolific and already got paid).

It's pretty simple: you just need to pick up the specific cubes displayed on the board and place them on a table in less than a minute.

You can play it without receiving an invitation if you really wanna do that for some reason, but you won't be compensated for taking part in the experiment, and your data won't be used for the actual analysis.

I 100%ed it, tried going for Master Emerald rank, and uninstalled the game SO FAST once I realized how bad the grind actually is.

Look, it's a nice and fun little game that feels close to Fall Guys. I had a good time with it for the first few hours around the Global Launch date, but that's about it. Every race, survival round, and ring battle feels the SAME. Just with a different coat of paint. The UI was made with mobile in mind, so you can't actually change anything. No scaling, no option to hide or even move the virtual buttons plastered on the screen, nothing.

Since this is a mobile game first and foremost, there are microtransactions everywhere. So many skins, buddies, and skills are inaccessible for F2P players, and the prices are absolutely ridiculous. I feel like you'd need to run a crypto scam to afford even one of those legendary skins. It also has season passes. WAAAAAAY too many of them, in fact. Between the ads of giving you those "great deals" after your first few matches and the ring limit, it’s an awful system that just pushes players away the moment they’re done with their daily grind.

The worst thing though, is the "ranking" system. Since it is tied to your score, and thus your score multiplier that you increase by buying and upgrading skins, it does not reward skill. It rewards how much of a whale or an unemployed bum with all the time in the world you can be. The game is losing players constantly, so lobbies are filled with braindead bots that jump for joy into the same hole for the fourth time in a row, barely any of them even qualifying (I managed to qualify once by standing still on the first round!).

Just don't bother playing this game. Ever.

wow they weren't lying, these myths really ARE 100% true.

This game's incredibly satisfying, I love how it focuses on fast-paced single-screen encounters rather than precise platforming. Dashing around and flying through each screen while taking pictures is a blast, and getting enough money for the perfect score never gets old.

The controls are real snappy and never felt off to me, the art is lovely, and it's all backed by a great soundtrack and absolutely satisfying sound design. It's got lots of replayability with some nice challenges and plenty of secrets to find. The dialogue's hilarious, with quite a few funny moments and obscure references that got a genuine chuckle out of me.

Only real problem I got is that I wish it had more achievements (and maybe being able to see Golden 100% True on the level select), but other than that it is simply amazing.

It's a decent collection with old and new ways to enjoy the classic Sonic games, but man is it riddled with bugs that will never get fixed.

Demanding system specs, inconsistent frame rates, random stutters, random flashing frames and massive memory leaks.
These ports of 30-year old games literally took up to 22 GB of memory during my sessions!

And like most Sonic games you need to install mods to get some enjoyment out of it.
Ultrafix, Blur Fix, S3&K Music Restoration, HQ OST Compilation, CD Intro Restoration and CD Ending Fix were the ones I used.

But there are things that even mods just can't fix.
Some sections play out differently than the original versions or are impossible to get through due to the weird physics, sometimes you get crushed for simply touching a moving wall and i'm not sure if this happens with replacing any music in the game but it sounds way too crackly.

I wouldn't recommend buying this unless it's on sale. There are plenty of decompilations and fan-made ports of these games that are way better and free.

The game that spawned a new subgenre.

Simple, yet addictive reverse bullet hell (or bullet heaven if you prefer) where you try to survive against large hordes of enemies for as long as possible by filling the screen with projectiles.

There's no need to stress out about aiming or attacking since it's done automatically so all your focus goes towards moving around and avoiding anything that comes too close.

Pure nostalgia, all in one big collection.

I remember playing most of these games on Kongregate and i'm glad that I got to revisit them and even try out some that I have never heard of before.

It even lags just as much as it used to in the old Flash days, which is pretty funny but also kinda adds to the experience.

Thank you dev for creating a childhood for so many people, myself included! ❤

It's a great game but a rushed remaster.

A lot of the charm from the original version isn't present, the menus are completely silent and feel empty, the pre-rendered cutscenes are much more compressed and the performance is absolutely terrible.

It was basically unplayable for me until someone gave out instructions on how opening the .exe in a hex editor and replacing three bytes fixes the bad FPS cap. There's also a way to replace the cutscenes with more high quality ones but I didn't knew about that at the time.

I do not recommend buying this game at full price. Get it on sale, find a copy of the original PC version or emulate it.

A decent free to play MMORPG four player dungeon crawler where you dive deep into the ever-changing Clockworks to reach the core.

Sadly this game seems to be abandoned & hasn't been updated for a long time, and because of that there aren't many active players in-game, which most of the time leads to being alone for a lot of the missions.

The grinding was kind of expected for a game like this, but once you progress further into the main campaign it becomes apparent how bad getting certain materials can get without waiting for the Clockworks to change or buying them from the auction house (if it's available).

Even though the late-game content can be pretty boring and most people consider this game to be "dead", it's still a fun time waster.

And you can get a free hat for Team Fortress 2 as well so that's neat I guess.

It used to be alright, but now the app is very slow & unresponsive and "Launch on Windows Startup" doesn't even work anymore, probably because it's trying to launch it from Steam instead of the executable.

Don't bother spending money on this garbage, just use the free version or stick with Steam Input.

Just like Spelunky HD, but with more content, improvements and deaths!

Spelunky 2 is a roguelike platformer, a very challenging one at that.

You make your way through different areas, each containing various deadly traps and enemies that can end your run in an instant if you're not careful or prepared. Every death can be frustrating, especially when it happens out of nowhere (Spelunky moment) but with knowledge and new discoveries comes confidence. What might have made you panic or anxious before, not knowing how to overcome it, is now only just a small problem in a bunch of other complications.

The improvements are quite nice, like better graphics, more precise movement and local/online multiplayer (Co-op/PvP).
Though if you're going for 100% completion you probably will be playing alone most of the time since a lot of the achievements require you to play non-seeded singleplayer runs.

It is an unforgiving game that will actively try to kill and break you, but once you know everything and are confident enough it will become a rewarding experience.
