FACTS AND FUTURES is a game where you need to tune a radio in order to match the wave patterns to decode a message to you.

The source is unknown, but it’s likely from another reality that’s delivering an important message about the dangers of the world’s false information to the people. The game is a puzzle game at its cor, and you need to match two sets of waves with each other by tuning the amplitude, frequency, phase, and ripple settings. The game gets pretty difficult at later levels, so you’ll need to think and be on your toes since the controls are a bit sensitive.

If you like puzzle games, try out FACTS AND FUTURES for yourself. The game is unique and decodes a mysterious message for you to uncover.

Stori is a pretty comic strip game where you play as a character going through a storybook adventure.

The game has you controlling a forest spirit and a robot where you can switch between the two by pressing a key. They each have their own ability and complement each other- you’ll need to use both of their abilities in order to progress through the game. The forest spirit can manipulate the edge of the comic book frame in order to add borders and create barriers or platforms in order to get across obstacles.

The robot can destroy borders and create new paths that were first nonexistent.

Stori is a very relaxing and calming game. Just get immersed into the world and have a good time.

The game is pretty fun to play and offers a unique experience that only some other games can capture, but at the same time, it needs some polish. It has gorgeous artwork and very nice puzzle platformer design. But it’s a pretty short game with some minor awkward moments. Still worth a play though just because it’s so damn unique.

Try it out using the link and see the goregeous artwork for yourself.

Wahkan is a super pretty 2D puzzle-platforming adventure game with a twist that I simply adore.

You need to draw platforms, buildings, and structures in order to help create a path through levels within a shaman’s mind. You play as a Native American who gains access to the mind of a shaman to prove some ritual or something. You explore the mind and all the thoughts and feelings that come along with it. It’s a beautiful and trippy place.

You use your powers to draw stuff in order to make progress through the levels and use a variety of powers that can be used at your will in order to make progress. You have the power to create ropes that can chain objects together or create bouncy structures that can give you air in order to reach higher ledges or draw solid structures like bridges. The game gives you plenty of creativity in order to progress and there’s no limit or “proper” way to beat the game.

Wahkan comes with its share of bugs, but being such a freedom-chasing game, it’s expected. The game is still worth a play through just because it’s so freakin’ awesome.

Hearth is a top-down survival game where you need to keep your fire going.

If it runs out, the game’s over.

It’ll instantly remind you of The Long Dark. You’re in the freezing winters and it’s snowing. You need to scour the land in search of wood, resources, and items in order to keep the fire burning. The catch is that you can also use the resources to craft weapons, light sources, or build other tools to help you work more efficiently. Everything is burnable, but everything also has a purpose.

You need to do some resource management and decide whether to burn it and keep the hearth going or utilize it and make it into something that’ll benefit you int he long run.

The world is filled with random things to collect and there are a few monsters here and there. The game is still in early dev, but it lays out a nice foundation.

Try out Hearth and see if you can keep the fire going.

Flashing Lights is an awesome unique concept I haven’t come across before.

It’s a city simulator where you play the role of emergency services like police officers, firefighters, and even paramedics in a huge GTA-like city.

It’s an online persistent open-world game that’s best played with other players, but the game also has an offline single-player mode as well. You get to choose whether you want to be a crime-stopping policeman, a life-saving paramedic, or a fire-extinguishing firefighter.

Each “department” has its equipment that’s yours to use! You can use vehicles like fire trucks, ambulances, and police cruisers. You also have their own assorted items and equips to use. It’s pretty much like what you’d expect in real life. Each department has their own sort of arsenal for you to use and do your job.

Yes, you have a job. You have to fulfill your responsibilities and playing online means you get to help (and be helped) by other players.

Of course, some tasks are easier than others. you’ll be doing stuff like writing parking tickets for violations, chasing speeding criminals, and even checking speeds of vehicles. The game is something I’ve never seen before and looks like a very interesting game.

Sometimes you’ll have to combine different departments together in order to take care of emergencies that arise. That means you’ll have to combine forces with the other players in order to work together. You could be playing as the police and take down some criminals in a high-speed chase while the firefighters take care of fires that are caused by their arson and the ambulance is there to help injured pedestrians.

You may have to divide your first responder force among the three forces which is where your friends will come n to help!

Flashing Lights is basically like GTA but with a twist. The game is focused on helping the people rather than causing destruction. It’s a fireman, policeman, and ambulance simulator. The game is all about being the best-employed hero you can be!

The world is a thriving and bustling city and it’s a huge open world. It’s huge and offers plenty of things to do. You can sign up for the alpha right now using the link below. It’s an online open-world game that’s awesome in terms of the concept. It’s gonna be interesting to see how this game turns out.

Starmancer is an awesome simulator that takes place in a space station situated in the far reaches of outer space!

It’s an isometric space sim that has you managing, building, and expanding a space station that’s been heavily damaged. You’re a hybrid between a human and computer and your job is to repair and save the last remaining biological humans in the entire universe.

A horrible disaster struck on planet Earth and this caused humans to migrate over to the Starmancer ships. An initiative was enforced that had the remaining humans board a fleet of rescue ships (also called ark ships).

You were once a human as well with the rest of the crowd, but you somehow walked into the wrong fusing tank and now you’re part computer and part human. Somehow you also end up waking up in the far universe with your ark ship suffering heavy damaged and your computer storage is also damaged (as in your own computer systems are malfunctioning).

Because of this, you have no idea what’s happened and now your only task is to have the remaining humans on your ship. That’s where you start building a space colony for the survival of the final humans! Build a base! Expand! Explore! Prevent extinction!

The isometric view fits the game perfectly and will instantly have you thinking of games like Faster Than Light and Dwarf Fortress. Your action all have consequences with lots fo different outcomes depending on what you do and the decisions you make. You have to do all the basic sim things you’d expect- build a colony, expand it, explore, and defined it. Watch your colonists’ needs and supply enough resources to keep them alive.

Each colonist functions as an individual person. They have specific and unique personalities, backstories, and aspects that each influence the game overall. They can even form relationships with each other and also establish a hierarchy amongst themselves. There are space pirates about and they’ll definitely try to loot your stuff. You also have to form alliances with other races in order to progress. You can even do missions and trade with nearly everyone.

Starmancer takes the space sim concept even further than typical management games. The fact that each colonist is unique makes this feel like an actual space sim game where the people actually matter. You could get used to knowing one sim is a happy person and the other has a terrible attitude.

Each colonist also has a job, morale rating, skills, and even an inventory. They also have needs, nutrition, and can even get diseases or body parts damaged that can affect their effectiveness.

The station can be completely customized with different colors, tiling, and furnished with rugs, paintings, posters, windows, and even curtains. The game uses power and water grids as well powered by machines and wires. There are also repair machines that can help fix stuff as everything has durability ratings as well.

The game also has temperature, oxygen, and even radiation ratings that you need to consider to keep your colonists happy.

You’ll grow attached to them and actually want to help them survive (or not). Couple that with branching paths and decision making with cute and adorable isometric 2D graphics, and you have yourself the next FTL or Rimworld challenger.

Starmancer is currently available as a demo on Kickstarter. You can only build a ship in creative mode so far. But you get a nice feeling of how the game plays and you’ll instantly be reminded of Rollercoaster Tycoon.

Check it out and keep your eyes peeled for the next great space sim!

Zappy Boy is an awesome little quirky adventure game where you play as a freaky little Electrical Spirit.

The game has you traveling through the game’s levels through electrical wires you control with your mouse. You need to carefully guide him through each level and reach the end to progress, but it’s never as easy as it sounds!

It’s a sidescrolling platformer game (kinda) where you need to watch out for environmental hazards like cats and crows that want to take the spark out of you! You need to reach the end of the level in order to power up a house or building that’s in desperate need of some electrical power. Zappy Boy to the rescue.

The game uses a 2.5D plane with detailed and colorful artwork that looks like Mario in Unity or something. Each level has you zapping your way through the city, farms, and more. You’ll also go through a variety of environments that differ in the environment and even time of day.

You travel by electrical wires which you can “leap” from one to the next one. You draw them with your mouse and they have to “flow” properly in order for Zappy Boy to jump from one to the next.

Each level also has some sweet collectibles you can snag in the form variously-sized stars. Zappy Boy is a very nicely detailed adventure platformer game that’s worth a play through.

It’s a unique concept that I haven’t seen before and creativity in platformers is always welcome. Check out Zappy Boy for yourself using the link below. It’s a relaxing, awesome, and unique little adventure indie game.

Christmas Present is a unique sidescrolling platformer where you play as Santa trapped in a computer.

It’s a festive little game that has you running around between different browser windows on a Windows computer with a blank desktop! Your only goal is to look for hidden presents on each level and collect them. but it’s not just any platformer- Santa’s got special abilities as well.

After all, he’s magical, isn’t he?

The game starts out in one giant browser (which forms the level’s boundaries) and you need to jump from platform to platform using individual browser windows (what happened to tabs?).

There’s a present in each window and you need to find them all. There are 6 levels in total. Some of the windows are also Mac windows…on a Windows background.

it’s a pretty awesome concept that’s difficult to explain. But the game is pretty entertaining nonetheless. Each individual browser window has a different Santa that you need to control and move around. They can merge together if you get two or more of them in the same window together- and you’ll have to in order to use them as stepping stones to reach higher ledges!

Christman Present isn’t a difficult platformer nor one that’ll last you for days. It can be completed fairly quickly, but it’s more for the festive spirit and the unique concept of this platformer. It like combines Santa, Christmas, and Google Chrome all into one game. You ain’t gonna find that anywhere else.

It plays in your browser so you can play in your browser!

The levels are well-done and it’s a pretty tight platformer that’s just for the holidays.

We chose this game just for the holidays. Have fun and try it out.

Happy holidays from Peach’s Castle! Expect treats all year round for 2018!

(Yeah, we’re a day late. We had too much…eggnog last night.)
