Dadish 2

After finishing a year with Daily Dadish, I wasn't ready to quit, but I didn't particularly want to replay any levels, so I went straight into Dadish 2. I was a little surprised by how much lengthier and more difficult the levels could be than the average Daily Dadish stage, but I was happy not to be locked to just one a day anymore. In fact, I would often find myself beating three or four in a row whenever I would pick the game up. There wasn't much more to the game than in either of the ones I had played previously, but more of a good thing is still a good thing!

Dadish 2 runs on the same engine as before, and while it introduces a slew of new enemy types beyond that of the first game, I had already encountered them all multiple times in Daily Dadish. However, there was one unexpected new feature that stood out and will likely be what I most remember about the game. The first boss of the original game, Burgurgular, returns as an ally that Dadish can ride on, creating brand new auto-scroller stages. These new levels are not common, but they are a fun break from the usual formula and help give Dadish 2 a bit of its own identity.

As the third game I've played in a very iterative series, there's not much I can think to say that won't sound repetitive. I feel a little weird writing a review this short after so many years, but Dadish 2 truly is just more Dadish. I've enjoyed the whole series so far, and having already started Dadish 3 and Dadish 3D at the time of writing this review, I can pretty confidently state that my opinion won't change in that regard. Like the rest of the series, Dadish 2 is short, but it is still a lot of fun and I can easily recommend it.

Meow Tower: Nonogram Pictogram

Image
I seem to have a thing for mobile games about cats, and I am a huge fan of Nintendo 's Picross series. Normally those two interests don't overlap, but Meow Tower changed that. Combining the fun of befriending cute cartoon cats and solving intricate number puzzles hooked me immediately. While it's technically not a Picross game, seeing as that is a Nintendo trademark, the nonogram puzzles are still the same, and I loved being able to play them on my phone. Granted, there have been plenty of options to play these kinds of puzzles on the phone for years, but Meow Tower  sets itself apart from the rabble thanks to its stellar aesthetic. The developers behind this game are true artists. While it's a solid, straightforward nonogram game at its core, Meow Tower just looks so much better to play than any of the numerous generic options that crowd the app stores. The bubbly sticker-book style used for the art and menus gives Meow Tower a lot of charm and personality from t

Splatoon

As one of Nintendo 's first new IPs in a while, Splatoon was kind of a big deal, but as one of the only quality online multiplayer shooters on the WiiU , Splatoon was definitely a big deal. Touting a unique approach to multiplayer shooters where covering the ground in your team's color is more important than getting the most "kills," this game may not sound that appealing to the average Call of Duty addict. However, the combination of impressive controls, a unique (probably post-apocalyptic) world, and truly well-designed competitive modes makes this an absolute blast to play. Not to mention its phenomenal single-player campaign to top it all off. Making use of the gamepad's gyro controls to facilitate keyboard-and-mouse level precision, and screen to make the necessary glances at the map a breeze, Splatoon felt like one of the most intuitively designed shooters of its era. When playing online, your goal is simple - using your ink-based-weapon loadout of choice

Space Lich Omega

Image
Inspired by the ever popular Candy Box and Candy Box 2 , Space Lich Omega is an browser-based RPG adventure with an almost entirely ASCII display. However, it chose to step away from the established fantasy style of it's inspiration for a more science-fantasy theme. I ended up having a fun time with this game, despite its need for a little polish, thanks to the unique story and hilarious pop-culture Easter eggs that can be discovered throughout the different explorable locations. Despite the crude-ish interface, I never had any trouble navigating throughout the game. I actually ended up beating it in a relatively short time, especially when I had my gunk production going all out, allowing me to jump my health up enormously. Although I did need to do a little grinding every now and then for an item that I missed, that didn't interfere with my enjoyment too much. Ultimately, this is no Candy Box , but it still has its merits and is worth playing if you ever find yourself in
