Once Bitten, Twice Dead! is a fun new low poly MMO FPS that allows up to 100 people to play together in a large zombie-infested open world.

Combining DayZ zombie survival gameplay with Minecraft-esque visuals, Once Bitten, Twice Dead! bears some similarities to Unturned. Once Bitten, Twice Dead! feels more geared towards more pure FPS gameplay than the survival-focused Unturned though.

It’s a fun game, especially in multiplayer, perfect for bouts of undead low poly mayhem.

Happy Hell - a fun (and rather gross) 3D platformer that recalls the glory days the 3D Platformer, which sees you helping Spooky Poo the cat escape 9 levels of hell.

All 9 levels of Happy Hell have at least 6 goals that can be completed in many ways. Complete these goals and you’ll be rewarded with a ‘Good Thing’ (think power stars in Mario 64, or the Jiggies in Banjo-Kazooie.)

The visual design is excellent, with a soft and very cartoonish style, which gives the game a pleasant feel (despite being in Hell and fighting snot-shooting flying noses and disembodied feet.) Another nice touch is the cool upgrades that you’ll acquire, unlocking some very handy supernatural powers, from telekinesis to flight – each one altering your characters appearance.

Being a prototype, it does obviously have some rough edges, but overall, it’s a stylish, fun and challenging game that’s pleasantly reminiscent of N64 era 3D platformers. Keep an eye on this, Happy Hell could very well end up being platforming heaven.

Based on real life events and drawing heavy influence from that golden era of JRPG’s from the PSX years. The same blood that kept those classics alive, flows through the veins of Unraveled, a sort of Spirited Away/Chrono Trigger atmosphere follows in its wake.

The game plays like an old school, turn-based RPG, with many places to explore, and creatures to fight, and also features a unique anger/calm based battle system that can really turn the tide of battle.

Unraveled has already been Greenlit for Steam and is now on Kickstarter to make the final push to get the game into the hands of their fans! Hopefully they succeed as it’s an impressive game - a New RPG that already feels like a classic.
