Mirage - NG015



New Game 015 - Mirage by ghost_dad

Mirage is a work in progress, but it is already tons of fun.  I'm going to call it a bi-platformer, because as the player, you control both an astronaut, and his mirror-world doppleganger.  The worlds are very similar, but not quite.  Which leads to some very interesting gameplay.  Check it out for yourself!

All I can really say at this point is, be prepared to see this screen a lot.

Crashlands - NG013



New Game 013:  Crashlands

My "100 New Games in 2018" odyssey continues with Crashlands from Butterscotch Shenanigans.  I've been watching the show Dev Diary which tells the story of Butterscotch Shenanigans (a team started by three brothers in St. Louis).  I went looking for the game on Steam, and lo and behold, it's already part of my 1,022 game library!

Crashlands is an exploration/crafting/survival game.  As a player, you explore the world, gather resources, craft better gear and tools, womp on some of the native fauna, and complete quests for colorful NPCs.  So far I am enjoying the relaxing nature of the collecting and crafting, but there is  excitement to be had when womping on the wompits and other alien beasts.
