To be honest, I’m not too fond of puzzle games. Sure I’ll play some Bejeweled here and there when I’m standing in line waiting to pay for my coffee, but I don’t go out of my way to play a puzzle game unlike other genres. Puzzle games just don’t click with me.

Copy Kitty is a set of interesting mechanics wrapped in a lesson on bad visual design

Copy Kitty is a game where a cat with the ability to steal other’s abilities gets sent a military training program by her strange uncle. It’s also a solid action game that combines Gunstar Heroes style weapon mixing with an almost Bangai-O sense of level design that’s built to get you to explore the myriad applications of your weapons. Now I’m a big fan of Treasure, so having Copy Kitty hit some of those same notes solidified it as action excellence for me. 

I still found a lot to dislike about it, however.

Neverending Nightmares Review

Neverending Nightmares
Developer - Infinitap Games

PC (Steam) and Ouya (reviewed on PC)
Rating - N/A

Neverending Nightmares is not fun. As I played it, it became a game I became reluctant to return to. From start to finish, it was an experience that left me feeling ridden with anxiety. That’s also exactly the way it should be.

Built as a conduit to channel the depressive and intrusive thoughts that creator Matt Gilgenbach experienced following the commercial failure of the studio’s previous game, Retro/Grade, Neverending Nightmares is grave deep in oppressive atmosphere. From the very start Nightmares makes it clear that the experience won’t be fun.
