Lenna's Inception - Zelda like game goes early access


Fans of Zelda might like this action-adventure with it's top down view and sword swinging combat, as Lenna's Inception by Tom Coxon is now available in early access. You play as Lenna who is out on a quest to hunt down the Archangel that has slaughtered her students, and believe me if the game looks this retroish good, they could be onto a winner.

Pizzarian - The coolest retro inspired shoot em up we've seen this year!


Jeddy recently gave us the heads up that their retro inspired shoot em up, Pizzarian is now available to buy through the main website and will soon be available on Desura. A game that looks so damn cool and has a unique style to it in both gameplay and ideas. Pizzarian has you delivering pizzas to the moons of Jupiter, and using the money you make to buy new space ships and upgrade your pizza shop. Although you will have to watch out for other competitors! But what makes this game rather unique is making money by pulling off stunts and there are two game play mode styles available. A top scroller and a side scroller, both feature game boy style palettes, of which I'm very fond of! But the question is, is it good? My answer is YES, plus you really can't go wrong with a PC price of $2.99.

Abandoned - Platformer inspired by the Game Boy and Game Boy Advance games


Game Type : Platformer
Developer : TheLastNomad
Game Info Quote : In Abandoned, you play as an urban explorer tasked with discovering the cause of the abandonment of the city of Saraceno. When you arrive, it appears not every one has left, but there is no sign of anyone around except for graffiti on the walls and notes left around the city. The more you explore, the more lonely it feels and the more you want to find human contact, but when you eventually do, you will realise you were better of alone. Abandoned is a 2D exploration based platformer inspired by the Game Boy and Game Boy Advance games of the early 2000s, as well as many other games of that era, and more recent ones like the inFamous and Condemned series'.
