Captain Soda

Not quite done with this game yet but so far it has been quite a joy to play through with it's simple setup with loads of weapons and equipment to deal with wave based obstacles in single screen levels that remind me of old arcade games.

Super-smooth arcade vibes

A real labour of love that feels fun and fresh to play The developer's Splatoon influence shines through in the aesthetic. The graphics are colourful, the music is energetic, and the unlockables are creatively designed You can feel the attention to detail from the menu navigation, the weapon tunings, and even quitting to desktop The combat feels punchy, especially the first time you knock an enemy into a wall. I cleared the first world in about 30 minutes but revisiting each level for the challenges really made me think about enemy spawns and weapon breakpoints. I found a niche use for each item, even the starting gun Navigating the levels will take some getting used to but it shouldn't take long Give it a try!

Highly addicting, super polished, and full of customization. Difficulty feels well designed and the bonus challenges are great fun, requiring you to rethink your loadout. High skill ceiling for those who love dexterity focused gameplay.

This one really brought me back to all the pixel art platformers I used to play on miniclip and nitrome as a kid, but with a more polished arcade-like feel. I love the music and the cheeky names on the enemies. Poggers, my beloathed. The gameplay seems straightforward at first but, the level layout, enemies, and projectile behaviour work well together to make really fun aha moments. I lowkey suck at platformers now (my reaction speed ain't what it used to be) and that usually makes me bounce right off them, but this one seems to hit the perfect flappy bird goldilocks zone where even if I die on a level, my immediate response is always "no I can definitely do better than that!" and I'm right back in it. Well done.

A really fun and addictive game. The on-hit feedback, the monster design, and the mechanism of refilling soda as ammo are all great. The cute drawing style makes it feel less heavy to play than other games. And the difficulty of each level's optional challenge is really balanced. Would for sure recommend this.
