The Trial of Kharzoid Title Screen

Posted on June 25, 2022October 25, 2022 by Pascal Belisle

Title screen done! Meet Kharzoid, the evil necromant. This badboy takes a full 4k of background tile, but I think it’s worth it

Gameplay with 4 paddles

Posted on June 15, 2022November 12, 2022 by Pascal Belisle

Here’s some gameplay with 4 paddles. I added temporary music from “The Immortal”, that’s the kind of ambiance I will go for.

Anguna Scourge of the Goblin King Review

Posted on May 3, 2022October 24, 2022 by Pascal Belisle

I must say that I have mixed feelings. I certainly enjoyed it. There is some nice pixel art, the music is good and there’s a huge map to explore. But don’t expect this game to be what it isn’t. It’s a monster slasher with some RPG elements, it isn’t Zelda, nor Crystalis.

Space Raft Review

Posted on April 23, 2022October 24, 2022 by Pascal Belisle

I didn’t know what to expect but I did enjoy it. It is weird, it is challenging, it is fun. You play as a band member, you can switch between them, each having his own weapon.  That’s a nice feature, although I played as TJay most of the time.

Spacegulls Review

Posted on April 11, 2022October 24, 2022 by Pascal Belisle

I finally played Spacegulls, from the creators of Micro Mages and Böbl. It’s a charming little platformer starring a space seagull who must rescue some seagull cosmonauts. The first version of Spacegulls was made in 1 week and won 1st place in the NESdev Compo 2020/21. Man, I wish I could develop such a nice…

Eyra, The Crow Maiden Review

Posted on March 21, 2022October 24, 2022 by Pascal Belisle

While mindlessly browsing eBay to find some hidden gems for my NES collection, I stumbled upon Eyra, The Crow Maiden. I had never heard of it, but it looked cool and I like to support homebrew developers, so I bought it. The game feels like an early NES title that was recently rediscovered. The game…

Super Painter Review

Posted on March 14, 2022October 24, 2022 by Pascal Belisle

I always liked floor-painting games. There was Miner 2049er on the ColecoVision, City Connection on the NES and now there is Super Painter! The concept is simple enough: you paint floors and walls while avoiding enemies. The graphics are cute and colorful. The music is nice and entertaining. The controls are a bit difficult to…

L’Abbaye Des Morts Review

Posted on March 9, 2022October 24, 2022 by Pascal Belisle

I just finished L’Abbaye Des Morts. The graphics are nice and varied. The music is also well done, sometime stressful, sometimes more ambient. There is something beautiful, even poetic, about the game.

The Adventures of Panzer Review

Posted on February 27, 2022October 24, 2022 by Pascal Belisle

The Adventures of Panzer feels like an unfinished game. I wanted to like this game. In fact, I did enjoy the first times I played it. The humoristic dialogs are fun to read and the graphics are nice. However, it has major bugs and graphical glitches. Now, don’t get me wrong. I know this is…
