Ninjah is a colourful, fast paced platform game from Evildrbin. The general idea is to get from point A to B as quickly as possible with the help of your elastic ninja rope and your slow motion abilities (space). The slowdown mode is very helpful, since things tend to get tricky after a while. Move around using WASD-controls. Who can resist a grappling hook game? Not me.

So, there's been a lot of posts about this game on other sites, but that doesn't stop me from joining in on the slapping. Rose & Camellia invites you to the elegant art of female conflict, where you slap your opponent, drawing a slapping trajectory with your mouse and attempting to evade and counter-attack incoming slaps. Enough said.

The Crypts of Despair. I love a good title. This is a dungeon crawl with back-to-basics graphics and controls. You can hack and slash your way down to level 30, but I have to warn you though, this game is fairly difficult. There's a quicksave system in this version (F5 to save, F6 to load), and if you're lucky, you'll come across a few slimes in certain depths. Watch your step.

Balloon Fight is, in non-harmful terms, classic multiplayer mayhem. I had no idea it was so "very similar" to arcade game Joust before I played it on XBLA a couple of weeks ago. I guess the concept of flying balloons is more comprehensible than riding some kind of ostrich with lances and stuff. Anyhooo... Balloon Fight was ported to the NES in the mid-eighties. It's clean and simple, but most of all, it's still fun.
Available now thru Virtual Console. You can also play it in your browser, here.
This is an old, token post. Not that the game itself is disappointing in any way (on the contrary), but simply because it's summer. Sporadic bursts of elusive Swedish sunlight makes video game blogging a hassle. So, I'm going to keep it to the point: Chalk is about drawing lines (using your mouse) across shapes to destroy them, or to reflect bullets back at your enemies. The right mouse button controls movement, while the left is used to draw lines. It's a very polished game from Joakim Sandberg, a swede who also made Noitu Love, et al.
In my opinion, this outing is far more original than his previous titles, and deserves all the attention. Highly recommended. Six levels.
