Some more interesting stuff this post. A good few games I didn't know anything about and was just jumping in totally blind.

Nice concept and looks great. But I just cant get over how sticky the jumping and general movement. I found the game just began to become increasingly frustrating once it started demanding more platforming precision that the controls gave you.
3/5
Procyon
A reasonably standard side on shooter. Has good snappy controls and the guns are fairly enjoyable to use. The unique thing is your ship has a rapidly regenerating shield which if you fire when it is up you get empowered shots that seem like the only way to destroy some of the larger foes before they fly off screen. The problems with it are I found the ship designs to be really dull and uninspired and the general graphics are very plain with the only exception being some of the weapon effects. The empowered version of your lightning gun type thing looks pretty awesome as it cuts through the enemies. Overall, I enjoyed it though and if you are a shooter fan who can look past the slightly cheap look graphics then I think you might get a lot out of it too.

Schein
Schein is a puzzle platformer where you can alter the environment around you by shining different lights on them. Its not completely unlike Closure. Its not a completely horrible concept but dimension jumping is done so much in puzzle platformers, I couldnt help but be a little bored by it. They begin to experiment with the different lights to form puzzles but it just didnt go crazy enough to grab my interest. Also it took all of existence to install and start up which was a bit odd.
3/5

skyRogue
In its current state skyRogue is a survival flight arcade sim that throws you into a box area with a bunch of enemies. I really like the simple art style although it does present this problem that is in a lot of flight sims where it feels like you are just not moving with any speed which is only emphasized by the fact that you are annoying sluggish in this game. There is a simple enjoyment to this game, but the slow plane combined with just the feeling of inability once the missiles start flying at you made this thing not something I would go back to.
3/5
Slayin'
Solid concept and controls well, but just a little simple for me. The main problem of Slayin is you just have so much health, the game lasts longer but it takes away any sense of danger and stress. By the time you are getting overwhelmed by the enemies I found myself wanting to get overwhelmed simply to put as end to the game.
2/5
I also remembered we have a highscore competition going on for this game. So this is my best result.
That's 28306 with 2 bosses down.
