Although its a little content-barren for its price, it's a very entertaining Metroidvania with puzzle elements about a UFO. | + | *Kitten ClanClan: A game that presents a compelling argument that tweening and other techniques commonly used in cheap Flash animations definitely have their place in an aesthetically pleasing game.

| *Kitten ClanClan: A charming take on the Tower Defense genre that managed to make me overcome my dislike of it. Plants vs. Zombies offers a startlingly large amount of content and a lengthy "story mode," as well as simple, but addicting mechanics. Serious strategy enthusiasts might find themselves a little bored, however. | *Kitten ClanClan: A charming take on the Tower Defense genre that managed to make me overcome my dislike of it.

| - | *Kitten ClanClan: A 2.5D Metroidvania with cover shooting mechanics that heavily homages Super Metroid. Extremely well-designed and accessible, the game blends two genres in a way that helps set itself apart from negative terms like "derivative" and "clone." Highly recommended to fans of both genres. | + | *Kitten ClanClan: A 2.5D [[genre:metroidvania]] with cover shooting mechanics that heavily homages Super Metroid.

| *Sniper Honeyviper: Yes! It's not the greatest shmup in the world, but it's got enough unique game mechanics and fine-tuned enemy patterns to be worth your time. If the fanservicey moe girls are a turn-off, rest assured that you won't see much of them while playing. | *Sniper Honeyviper: Yes!
