Duke Dashington Remastered

Pleasantly casual.

Meh

dat games surprisingly good

Loved it. It's a pure precision platformer that is low on frills. Pretty much, "OK, git gud" from start, but the difficulty never really spikes beyond medium. It's a crying shame that this game isn't more widely known.

This is just okay. There's a ton of levels, but they're all single screens and on a 10 second time limit, so there's really not a lot of game, all things considered. Each biome packs quite a bit in terms of unique obstacles, so it's almost "too little" for the amount of mechanics it has, but nothing feels underutilised and it's good for games leaving you wanting more. Oh, basic gameplay is "you have a Wario like air dash, navigate these levels", though given the format it's never too puzzlish (most levels have perfectly readable solutions, even if a very small handful require finessing the ideal timings). Only the third "dungeon" out of the five particularly shakes gameplay up with a "major change area gimmick", everything else just iteratres on the same basic concepts, even if as mentioned above there's a rather good obstacle variety. Not the best bang for your buck if you were to purchase it alone, but as part of the developer's bundles it's perfectly acceptable, doubly so with the excellent discount it gets. I guess for people who are heavily into replaying fast paced platformers it might be particularly appealing.
