his Dream does what it says on the...
thought bubble? Rather than hurling your
hefty hand cannon at the pins, you’re
taking aim and letting rip. The physics found in
many Dreams is, er, particular, but it’s put to
excellent use as the pins are sent careening and
skittering with every shot. Each blow only gets
more satisfying on the instant replay, but beyond
that, this is a fairly focused train of thought; if
you’re here for something more than gunning for
that strike out, you’re going to be disappointed.
omewhere between both challengers’
flopping around, the fantastically floaty
controls, and that endlessly catchy
theme song, it’s hard not to embrace this
fighter’s silliness. The creator has recently
improved the single-player opponent’s AI too,
meaning that, in the face of all of our malarkey,
at least someone is taking this deadly seriously.
our pleasant solo holiday to the Alps
(which we hear is simply lovely this time
of year) is just about to become a
nightmare. Oh, this winter wonderland looks
innocent enough, but it’s got a dark and splintery
underbelly. You can only sort of steer with the
D-pad and pray that you don’t get overly familiar
with a tree. But, that aside, there’s nothing for
it other than to ski for your life when the yeti
busts onto the snowy scene.

he creator now has a work in progress that improves on almost
everything you see here, but we’re including this fiendishly difficult
side-scroller as it’s a blooming good show for a first project. After
stopping short at a discarded space helmet, this test level hurls everything
it’s got at you, from spooky space aliens to finicky platforming that makes
your low-gravity moon jump especially frustrating – and that’s to say nothing
of the yelp your little astronaut gives when he fails to make re-entry.
ey, you – aren’t you tired of being cute and nice all the time? Don’t
you just wanna go bludgeon waves of hapless slimes into submission?
Well, this side-scrolling platformer will be your dream come true.
Starting off simply enough, you’ll be collecting kitty coins and hearts as you
thump away, but each stage introduces enemies with new quirks to side-step
- or, rather, problem nails to hammer away at. Stage five kicks the challenge
up a notch and proves this is more than just a pretty face.
It’s impossible
not to be endeared
to this walking
natural disaster.
