A great big thank you to the folks at Perfectly Paranormal for allowing me to review their puzzle platformer, Helheim Hassle! Helheim Hassle follows the misadventures of Bjørn, a 14-year-old Viking that’s not really into the idea of dying in battle and going to Valhalla. As fate would have it, Bjørn dies in an act of bravery resulting in him going to Valhalla. Fast forward to the present, we meet Pesto who is from a Hell going to Helheim (Viking Hell) but ends up needing Bjørn’s help (to read runes) in return for his help, Pesto will help Bjørn go to Helheim, the only downside is… Pesto’s magic makes allows Bjørn’s limbs to fall off and move on their own.

Serenity Forge and Atmos Games were awesome enough to let me check out their 2D Platformer Neversong. Neversong is a remake/sequel to Once upon a coma. Players take on the role of a boy named Peet who fell into a coma after seeing his best friend Wren being kidnapped by a mysterious figure known as Dr.Smile. Peet awakens to find himself in a nightmare world where something is wrong with the adults after they looked for him and Wren in the asylum the two youngsters wandered into. Now onto the game itself. When it comes to the controls, it’s so limited that you master it within the first minute of gameplay. Speaking of gameplay, it’s actually quite fun. I’m not big when it comes to puzzles and platformers but Neversong made it quite unique and not very frustrating. Sound; the sound mixing when it comes to cinematics could use some tweaking as it’s a bit louder than the rest of

Headup Games has announced their upcoming game set to be released around Q4 of this year in time for Halloween with their 3D platformer Pumpkin Jack where players take on the role of Jack the pumpkin lord. Pumpkin Jack will take players to a vibrantly colorful world that is peaceful, too peaceful in fact that it made the devil plunge the world in eternal night! The once happy kingdom calls upon a powerful wizard to end this curse but the devil has an ace up his sleeve… Jack, the pumpkin lord! Players will experience gameplay reminiscent of legendary games like Medievil and Jak & Daxter as they must master combo attacks against the forces of good and defeat a variety of foes and unlock new weapons and choose them wisely for battles. Players might lose their heads solving puzzles but Jack will gladly lose his for them to solve physics-based puzzles. Pumpkin Jack will be coming out around the Halloween
