We were recently contacted by the solo developer of Dergham Games about his upcoming game, Light Dude, a “skill-based action game” where the “level hides when you move”. I recently played the demo for myself, which contains 9 levels and a boss fight. These levels teach you the basics of the game, and the concept…

I like to work on art and writing and was inspired by video games and movies and other such things. I love when I find creative stories and characters, and I try to make my own. So far, I've been unsuccessful, but I'm trying.
Ranking the Banjo-Kazooie Mumbo Transformations
After my most recent playthrough of one of my favorite games of all time, Banjo-Kazooie, I thought it would be fun to do a handful of ranking posts. I’ve already ranked all of the game’s 9 delightful worlds, and now I’d like to rank all of the transformations. Although Mumbo’s magic in Banjo-Kazooie isn’t quite…
An Overdue Banjo-Kazooie World Ranking
With my Nintendo 64 currently packed up, I finally decided to give in and purchase that Expansion Pack for Nintendo Switch Online so I could revisit some of my all-time favorite games. We’ve actually discussed the Banjo-Kazooie franchise many times over the years, but I can’t believe I never ranked these sprawling and colorful worlds…
The Duck’s Initial Thoughts on Hollow Knight: Silksong
As usual, I’m a bit late to the party, but I’ve finally gotten around to playing the long-awaited Hollow Knight sequel, Silksong. This time, we’re playing as the nimble Hornet in the haunted kingdom of Pharloom. And instead of bugs being infected with a nasty disease, there are bugs being controlled by…some different sort of…
Analyzing the Two Super Mario Galaxy Movie Trailers
After the massive success of The Super Mario Brothers Movie from 2023 (because we do NOT talk about the live-action movie from 30 years prior), it was no surprise that they’re making another one. What is surprising, however, is that they’re skipping straight to Super Mario Galaxy, with some elements from other games thrown into…
Bruma: Demo Review
Bruma (Spanish for haze) is a lovely platformer with a unique art style about a cat named Luna who must seek out an old lady’s lost memories. According to the game’s Steam page and Kickstarter, you will explore an abandoned city submerged in a mysterious mist, where you can use traps or stealth to deal…
The Last Cube: Demo Review
The Last Cube is a deceptively simple looking puzzle game where you play as one of the most unassuming characters ever. A cube. Silly though it may feel to play as a basic geometrical shape, this game actually had some decent puzzles that made me think. At the same time, the demo’s 4.5 levels could…
Top 10 Most Aggravating Levels from Donkey Kong Country 3
Being my least favorite Donkey Kong Country game in the original trilogy, I could still admit in my previous list that this game has plenty of fun and memorable levels. It also has plenty of evil ones that I despise to varying degrees of white-hot hatred. Whether it’s dealing with a level that doesn’t even…
Conquistadorio: Demo Review
Conquistadorio is a puzzle game about a retired conqueror who became a hermit. And I suppose he’s become about as reclusive as one can get, as the demo opens with his coffin being unearthed by some rather large bugs! Yikes! I was drawn to this game mainly due to the interesting art style, which is…
Ranking the Worlds of KH: Birth By Sleep
As I continue my Kingdom Hearts marathon, my next stop was Birth by Sleep, a prequel that was originally released for the PSP, but which eventually came to consoles. Each of the three playable characters has their own story, during which you’ll be exploring different portions of the same worlds and experiencing different pieces of…
