Really cute endless runner with a distinctive gimmick: the whip, activated in midair to try and extinguish any candle on the path, as they are essential to multiply the final score; just managing to not fall as long as possible doesn't cut it. Even before that gimmick is revealed, the homages to [b]Castlevania[/b] are clear, with a couple of 8-bit styled tracks being outright remixes of famous music from the Konami franchise. The Game Boy inspired graphics are nice, and the unlockable palettes are quite faithful to the different "styles" of the old Nintendo portable we are used to, including the 4-color palettes of the Super Game Boy accessory. I don't know if it happened randomly or because of specific conditions, but at some points I got a "What a horrible night to have a curse..." message, folllowed by having to play with a Virtual Boy palette - cursed indeed.

It's a fun game with classic Gameboy vibes, but this time it's 4K capable instead of a small DOT Matrix screen The developer Sean Noonan is a great guy as well currently working on a new title called SENTRY by Fireblade Software which is a retro shooter

Wonderful game with awesome chiptunes! Definitely inspired by: 1. Castlevania, with its music and whipping mechanics against candles 2. The on-rails platformer levels in Super Mario Bros. 3 3. The speed of Sonic the Hedgehog All of this makes for great gameplay based on judgment and relfex-based button presses. It's a simple game, but it has a lot of value despite its simplicity.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.

Rust price: why the cheap keys vanished, and when to buy

The Rust price has two answers: an official one that barely moves, and a reseller one that sat in single digits for 95 days and then disappeared. Our record shows both.
