Toasterball (Switch, PC)
Add Comment
Posted on January 29th, 2024 by
Toasterball is kind of a mix between volleyball and soccer. You and up to three other opponents (two on each team) volley and bounce the ball and try to make it to the other team’s goal to score points. Whoever gets to five first wins. Oh yeah, and you also play as toasters! Use the L and R buttons to flip and move left and right. And press them both down and release to launch toast to volley the ball around. Just don’t hold down too long or you’ll burn the toast! Toasterball is available on Switch and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.
Colored Effects (Switch, PC)
Posted on January 24th, 2024 by
Colored Effects is a 2D single screen puzzle platformer. You play as a little dude with a cape, and when you travel over puddles of color, your cape turns to that color and you get a special skill. For instance, yellow gives you the power to dash, blue lets you double jump, and you can shoot projectiles with red, among others. The game is available on Switch and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.
Uzzuzzu My Pet: Golf Dash (Switch)
Posted on January 22nd, 2024 by
A large orange dog, a fat pink cat, a cute grey and white kitten, and a little white puppy are the stars of Uzzuzzu My Pet. Supposedly they are in short little CG animated segments on TikTok, and are popular in South Korea…I guess? I don’t know, I don’t mess with TikTok. I reviewed a game with them earlier, but it was just a virtual coloring book. Well now they’re back with a for real game on Switch called Uzzuzzu My Pet: Golf Dash, and it’s kind of a cross between golf and WarioWare.
Ravva and the Phantom Library (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S, PC)
Posted on January 17th, 2024 by
This is actually a sequel to a game I reviewed a couple of years ago called Ravva and the Cyclops Curse. Ravva is a young owl sorceress who has adventures with her four summoned monster friends. One day while exploring the forest, they came across a mysterious library that wasn’t there before, and inside are magical books that can take you to different worlds. But evil ghosts suck Ravva inside the library, and now she has to get out! This game is a retro 8 bit styled 2-D platformer and it’s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.

Chipmonk! is a 2D side scrolling beat ‘em up where you play as one of three little chipmunks: Gray, Cheeks, or Red, as they beat up (presumably) other bad critters like rats, mice, badgers, porcupines, raccoons, and more. It’s silly and goofy and available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.

Visco Collection (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S, PC)
Posted on January 3rd, 2024 by
Usually when I review an arcade game collection, it’s from a company that most everyone knows. Like Namco, Capcom, Taito, etc. But who the heck is Visco? Well, they mostly made a lot of obscure arcade titles for SNK’s NEO GEO arcade system. And now there’s a collection of some of those games. It’s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here. So let’s take a look at the games!

Swap and rotate tiles to create a path for a traveler in The Traveler’s Path. And that’s it, no story or anything like that. This game is available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.
Alien Hominid Invasion (Switch, Xbox One, X/S, PC)
Posted on December 27th, 2023 by
I have so many good memories playing The Behemoth’s games and visiting their booth at PAX. It all started with Alien Hominid. I had this game on the GameCube, but it originally started out as a Flash game on Newgrounds. It was a hand drawn 2D run-and-gun that was very similar to Metal Slug, with lots of goofy humor and challenge. Since then I’ve enjoyed playing and reviewing other games from them, like Castle Crashers (one of the best beat ‘em ups ever made), and BattleBlock Theater. And now they’re back where they started with Alien Hominid Invasion, a brand new game with a multiplayer focus, but still fun for one. It’s available on some game consoles and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.
