Yes.

A surprisingly good game. You play as a semicolon traversing the history of fonts, via interconnected short puzzle-platforming segments. It's a cool but very abstract concept they managed to make a game out of - and it's actually good. Edutainment that doesn't suck.

Perfect.

It's the Super Hexagon + I Bleed Pixels x Castlevaina Symphony of the Night of platformers, except the controls are stiff and not as good. A good game, that's just a few levels of polish away from being a great game.

Get it.

Eh, it's alright. I mean, it feels like a class project, or a cheap phone game. It's alright, but... I dunno, there's tons better on Steam. It's pretty bottom level rock basic, with nothing to distinguish it from its many competitors.

Exceptional.

Extraordinarily difficult, merciless, with (simple) tech trees and a perk system that leaves little to no room for error - and it is magnificent. Hardcore in the original, controller throwing sense of the word - but as rewarding as it is cruel. It tweaks my buttons in all the right ways. To get the most out of it, you should absolutely play with different character profiles, and explore different tech and perks as you level up - some just won't work, some will make things considerably easy. And remember to grind for scrap (the game's currency) - it's easy enough to get, just by playing the game. The random levels are a great touch that adds essentially infinite replayability.

I'm just gonna say it. Tower of Guns, the procedural death labyrinth roguelike fps where you shoot guns to level up your gun and get power ups is... sublime. Very, very basic gameplay, and the graphics are pretty basic for this day and age, but the rhythm and gameplay of it... it's just really what my brain needs right now. There's that word again - it's just... sublime. I agree 100% with TotalBiscuit on this.

Imagine Ikaruga, but as a sidescrolling platformer. Great hardcore platforming SHMUP aciton.
