‘Super Chuckie Egg’ Review: A Cracking Puzzle Platformer

Ruan Shiels — Fri, 10 Aug 2018 13:00:27 +0000

Chuckie Egg has been around pretty much forever. Originating in 1983, it’s the gaming equivalent of a stegosaurus, which means Super Chuckie Egg is like a cyborg stegosaurus with a laser jetpack. Needless to say, that’s a good thing. The game stars Harry, an intrepid chick with a penchant for golden eggs. Like the best remakes, it shares some DNA with its distant ancestor in the form of some accessible yet tricky gameplay, but it’s slick enough to appeal to […]

Ruan Shiels — Sun, 08 Oct 2017 14:42:16 +0000

Confession: I very nearly slept on Ryan Carag’s Cat Bird! (out now, free). I’m so glad I didn’t, though, because this charming, challenging retro platformer ended up being one of my favorite games of the year so far. I loved playing through it so much, in fact, that the moment I beat its final boss, I got straight in touch with Ryan to pick his brains about the game, its development, and what the future holds for it. Here’s what he had to say… Thanks so […]

Pixel Smash’s Super Powerboy recently turned one, and to celebrate, it’s on sale for $0.99 — its lowest price yet.

If you’re one of them, I highly recommend you pick up the game while it’s on sale. Super Powerboy really is a ton of challenging, action-packed fun and — as you can see in the trailer below — it also boasts some of the most beautiful visuals […]
