Developer Quote : An all-new HD adventure from WayForward: makers of Ducktales Remastered, Adventure Time, & Contra 4!
Game Info Quote : Who is Shantae? Why, she's the star of the game! She’s a human/genie hybrid (a Half-Genie) who hair-whips monsters with her ponytail, and belly dances to transform into magical creatures. She explores Sequin Land, solves labyrinths, trashes epic bosses, and foils the busty buccaneer Risky Boots, always managing to save the day! She's been featured in three daring adventures, all designed exclusively for Nintendo handhelds. Now Shantae's headed for the living room, but her core gameplay elements will remain intact. As the player it's your job to find the source of this new evil power and banish it once and for all. The story is doled out in chapters, with each chapter introducing new subplots, friends & foes, a new Transformation to discover, puzzles to solve, hazards to overcome, and a Boss to conquer.

Whilom: Sins - A 2D Brawler RPG to kick ass! (Kickstarter+Demo)

Game Type : 2D Brawler RPG
Developer/Project By : Gregory Willis Jr
Kickstarter Goal : $25,000
Developer Quote :  Streets of Rage meets Final Fantasy in this 2D Brawler RPG with a stylized anime & comic book aesthetic.
Game Info Quote : In Whilom: Sins you play as Ceon, a government agent sent on a mission to find remnants of a secret order that conducted human experimentation and trafficking. Through out your journey you'll uncover the truths behind The Soulless War, Ceon's afflictions, and why sometimes forgetting the past is the best path. As you control Ceon, you'll have a barrage of moves similar to most brawlers (Beat'em up) in your arsenal. One of the biggest differences in our game mechanics as a brawler, is the action doesn't feel spamy. While completing combos you can unlock special abilities during battle to be used to gain the upper hand on foes. There will be attack delays, where attempting to use the wrong move at the wrong time may end up getting you killed. As a RPG hybrid as well, you will be able to unlock and upgrade abilities, make moral decisions that increase or decrease your chances of success, and more. In Whilom your characters don't automatically "level up". You gain EXP like most RPGs, but how you choose to use that EXP will determine your own personal Ceon.
Release : March 2014
Systems : PC,MAC, LINUX(?),PS3(?)

Oliver and Spike Dimension Jumpers - HQ Adventure Platformer

Welcome to Oliver & Spike, developed by Rock Pocket Games. A beautiful Adventure Platformer with Puzzle and Exploration mechanics mixed in, that would look good on any screen. This Adventure Platformer is full of eye candy, it's amazing how far games of this type have come since I was a kid. You might ask, what does Dimension Jumping have to do with this game? Well, each world you play on has at least three parallel dimensions to explore and use. Each of these dimensions has its own storyline, quest-arcs, npcs, fauna and flora but most importantly: different physical laws. Each dimension is fully explorable, which opens up this Platformer to a huge amount of gaming possibilities
