Instead of running away from the monster, I want to run away from this game. Dark Night seems to do absolutely nothing right: from a blurry settings menu, to an inescapable failed ending. Even the jumpscares are poor - a rather dull face lacking any form of monster/fictitious horror character characteristics, almost sliding up the screen: did anyone even blink, let alone flinch?

Cobi Treasure Deluxe is as original as it is entertaining: not really. A very vanilla game that feels like it would belong on a website for kids Flash games, and looks like one of those games that would cost a dollar or so, sold at some obscure store in the mid-2000s.

A very bland and boring match game. NZ$10.29 is absolutely ridiculous for a game of the same quality of a free mobile game.

Giving this a reluctant positive recommendation - it only just takes my liking,

It's a cute 2D platformer game that provides a bit of a challenge. The game has no tutorial, but your objective is rather obvious anyway. There are plenty of levels and plenty of content, especially for a NZ$1.29 game.
However, the graphics are 'uncomfortable'. As someone else reviewing the game said, pixel & minimalistic graphics do not work well together.

A rather lacklustre game: not very visually appealing and the game lacks overall excitement. The tutorial was absolutely useless - "how to play" is just a gigantic wall of text that seems to say a lot but nothing at the same time. Throughout the small amount of time I spent actually playing the game, I had absolutely no clue what I was doing but hey, at least I won?

Audiosurf on a lot of steroids. The main objective is to avoid the barriers with your arrow-thingy, using A & D (or the left & right arrow keys). The game is really well designed with the game having many resolutions, a fantastic soundtrack, and is very graphically pleasing. My one issue with the game is that it's too fast for my liking, and there's no difficulty modes - but regardless, overall, BARRIER X is a fantastic game.

A brilliant puzzle game with nice 3D cartoon-y graphics. The game has you play as a dog (subconscious) attempting to guide Bob, a sleepwalker, to bed without falling over the side. You control where Bob walks with a green apple, which makes him turn right. This requires a bit more thinking as right is the only way you can make John turn.

The music is nice and the slightly strange sounding narrator makes him sound more interesting. The game does get a little repetitive, but it's a great game to complete in more than one sitting!

A very well made indie game with amazing graphics, a nice interface, a useful tutorial, plenty of music and SFX to prevent the game from sounding empty, and a story behind the game! The game gets a bit repetitive due to the main objective being destroying asteroids, and the voice acting is atrocious - but overall, this is a very good game. Would recommend when it's on sale (currently 90% off) - it's very expensive at regular retail price.

A cute little game where you control an animal of your choice, and avoid the creatures running towards you by clicking the left mouse button to change which part of the ground you are running on.

The game has little replayability, in that if you fail, you'll need to start over and this gets a bit boring after a while.
The game also appears to run in a fixed-size window, although at least it's not annoyingly small.

It's a rather enjoyable game and is great as something to play to kill time.

A rather dull shooting game with an interface far too small. There seems to be little objective and absolutely no story whatsoever. Basically, you manage a fighter ship that has to kill some weird looking mythical creature and have to wait until you eventually kill it (whilst stopping your ship from being destroyed), or more likely - wait until your ship is destroyed.

The tutorial is a pain to follow. But most importantly, The game has been abandoned.

Definitely do NOT buy this game for the asking price. Don't even get it on sale.
