Mayan Death Robots

Very fun pretty well balanced Worms alternative for two players who have taken a couple of beers and sit in front of the TV with gamepads

This game never goes on sale (the developer folded and there is no publisher), so the $7 price tag is final. Total campaign time was about 4.5 hours. You can play the campaign through with a friend, but other than the boss battles it's a long series of vs matches with various mutators. The closest comparison I can draw to this game is Worms. However, you only control one unit and turns occur simultaneously while map effects are in real time. What's very novel is that every turn you earn a tetromino, and you can spend an action to place any quantity of stockpiled tetrominos up to the maximum of 5. These tetrominos do obey gravity, but only if you cannot place them adjacent to other terrain. As a result, there is a lot of tactical variation depending on who your opponent is playing, where you can place land to block them in and force them to take damage from their own attacks, or otherwise make life difficult for them. Moving is only accomplished by jumping, so basic inconveniences like a slightly high wall can often turn the tide of a match if placed at the right time. The game has a very basic plot surrounding an interstellar television show, and the soundtrack isn't particularly…

criminally underrated

This is essentially Scorched Earth, but with giant Mayan robots. You take turns flinging ammo at each other, with the difficulty of judging angle and power over tough terrain. Try to kill the little worshippers for bonus points. However, I can't seem to get this game to work anymore. It just stays at the title screen.

good gameplay, and especially good music.

a fun worms-esque game to play on the couch.
