Bigger And Better: Return To New York, Part 1
Play New York 2018 is over! Moving to the center of Manhattan means more space, so developers can show more games. Most games are displayed on the first floor, but many games are displayed on the second floor in a narrow space. Although I have such shortcomings, I try to see that some game producers have nostalgia for me before the exhibition, and other programmers carefully read the cause of the exhibition. Let’s have a look.
Kingdom Bashi
Kingdom BashiUp to 4 characters can play cooperative or anti PC games. The developer Matthew Allen Estro invited me to watch his game to see if I could beat him. What was the result? I can’t make it. In fact, Matthew knows his game better than I do.
Get obvious inspiration from it.The tower falls and rises.In addition to greater freedom of movementKingdom BashiWhen I got the controller from Matt, I had a clear goal. Kill another character again and again until the time is up. The man who kills the most wins. It’s quite a standard “last stop”.
The game has strict control and interesting mechanism. Depending on the character you choose, you can throw a flower ball, spear or arrow at the opponent. The aim can be up, right, left, down and diagonal. If you are in a dash animation, you can also capture the movement of dashes such as arrows. If you sprint, but can’t protect yourself from being hit, a short delay before you do it again will make you easy to attack. In addition, you can only sprint in one direction, not in a neutral position. This is the difficult way I found.
A powerful weapon emerges from the chest that appears on the battlefield. One cannot see; the other is to give shields; one thing will slow you down to freezing. This almost guarantees your freedom to kill. In the few minutes of our game, Matt kept killing me. My only victory was that he knocked him down when he explained something to me.
Kingdom BashiThis is an interesting multiplayer gameThe tower falls and rises.When both players are ready to shoot arrows at each other, they can not only maintain the tension of the title, but also take the lead. It is still in an impressive good state, and only one developer is developing itKingdom BashiNow it can also be played on the widescreen. You can download the demo and view the following trailer here. I’ll find you next time, Matt!
Straight face
The title of the developer The Sheep ‘s Meow,Straight face, unique automatic scrolling. When the small water drops in your eyes are killed by ruthless arrows and other cruel shapes, shift to the right.
Through all stages, you will meet other children. Take them to add more excitement to your life. Pop up a pageIcaru, your avatarStraight faceYou can switch between light and dark colors to suit your environment. The challenge comes from the fact that you can’t see yourself when you mix together. So you should feel your position when you enter the intestines and stomach. Beautiful things.
When I passed the first level, I was surprised to avoid the jagged shape, and I reached the end. I want to make a circle around the geometry, pushing in small circles of light or dark at the same time. Because the circle needs precision, I tried several times. If you want to actually collide with the boss, you may have to deliberately hurt him.
Besides my problems with my boss,Straight faceThis is a great game. I like its premise and main game concepts. Especially when you hide, you must use your inner feelings to determine where your spots are. Steam and Xbox One will be launched soon, and more platforms have not been published yet.

No body, go home.
Another game of “sheep’s meow”,No body, go home.Turn you or you and your friends into ghosts to explore the old houses haunted by human beings. The goal of each stage is to reach the end while eating candy and cake. So a typical Saturday night.
I finally didNo body, go home.With the sheep’s meow. We played in sync. One of us always approaches the other to help him or her grab candy or distract the enemy. Humans can only aim at one ghost at a time, so one of us should worry about one person and the other should pass by. We also silently agreed to look for secret cakes at all levels. Seems to have found my soul mate.
No body, go home.A lot of happiness comes from playing with others, but this is a very interesting title. It’s fun to sail in the environment. Especially when light contrasts with total darkness, you have to feel your way. The strange sound made by ghosts when they jump is also very cute. Look forNo body, go home.In 2019, Steam will launch more platforms.
