The Cool Biker Game With a Temporary Name is a badass biker racing game with tons of customisation options, procedurally generated levels and lots of Road Rash-style violence.

It’s a fun arcade racer where you race against (and beat up) a selection of larger than life characters (including bears) on a selection of procedurally generated highways while listening to Trash Metal.  As well as the standard Arcade racing, there’s a nice range fun gamely modes, including a Mario Kart-Style ’Mustache Mode’ with some ridiculous power-ups, ‘Long Jump’ and 'Offroad Tree Slalom’.  

It’s an Arcade Racer that all about the fun, revelling in it’s own silliness. The Cool Biker Game With a Temporary Name does have a name, it’s name is 'Fun!’

Wild Warfare is a class-and-vehicle based FPS, starring tooled up woodland creatures, from the nimble rabbit to a chain-gun wielding bear.

Gameplay bears some similarities to Team Fortress, with it’s class based FPS warfare, a great cartoony graphical style and hats.  The Alpha is fast paced, chaotic fun, with three game modes, three classes, one Armored Walker, and six hats. With a little help from Kickstarter,  the devs plan on making all of those numbers much bigger and add a little polish to the game.

It’s a vibrant and colourful FPS with a firm emphasis on fun and maiming furry creatures.  Impressively it’s just been Greenilt on Steam after just 5 days, so it looks set to offer a furrier, sillier alternative to Team Fortress 2.

21 Bytes is an open world third person action game where you play as an ephemeral with a short life span, that can only be prolonged by killing creatures or smashing secret stones.

You start off as a weak little ephemeral, with only a club, a spear and 60 seconds left to live.  Your only option is to dash between and kill the weaker enemies, building up your power, unlocking upgrades and collecting weaponry.  The low poly world is deceptively large, full of secrets, hidden areas and special white creatures that unlock extra powers.  You’ll start off being petrified of the huge black monsters that roam the land, but once you’re fully levelled up and packing some powerful weaponry, you’ll be actively hunting them down.

There’s no health bar in 21 Bytes, just a timer constantly counting down, increasing when you kill something and decreasing when you get hit.When you die, you’ll lose all your XP but you keep the weaponry you’ve accrued and extra powers.  You can also hunt down a special monster with a black aura in the area that you died to get your XP and upgrades back.  As the game is in Alpha, some areas aren’t completed yet, but it includes the large central area, and a volcano area with a huge boss which drops a powerful weapon when killed.

It’s an addictive game, that packs some deceptively deep gameplay and a exploration into it’s low poly world.  Low poly high fun gaming.
