I don’t usually do much research when I download demos. They’re free, so there’s really nothing to lose but a little bit of time. With that said, I didn’t expect much from The Jumping Donut, and I didn’t get much, either. I guess I’d kind of describe this game as a puzzle-platformer. As the name…

Q Remastered: Demo Review
Q Remastered is a unique puzzle game that allows you to draw various shapes that fall to the ground due to the forces of gravity. Although it seems like there’s very little you can do with such a feature, this brief demo of 10 stages had an interesting variety of puzzles to solve. At first,…
Boxville: Demo Review
Boxville is a point-and-click puzzle game about sentient cans inhabiting a cardboard city. No one speaks, but rather, communicates completely through drawings. I’ve played plenty of games like this, whether it be When the Past Was Around or The Almost Gone, where you wander around, gather items to use in other locations, and solve puzzles. …
Drowning: Demo Review
Drowning is a short game about a teenage boy struggling with depression. The demo lasts about 15 minutes, and the entire time is spent walking along a path in the forest while text appears. I know the term “walking simulator” can be overused, but there are few games that really illustrate the nickname better than…
Rusty Rabbit: Demo Review
Rusty Rabbit is a Metroidvania about a grumpy old rabbit named Stamp who explores the ruins of Smokestack Mountain in his mech suit, Junkster, in search of even more, well, junk. The demo takes roughly 30-45 minutes to complete, and in that time, you explore two industrial looking areas and meet another group of rust…
Pilo and the Holobook: Demo Review

The graphics are colorful and cartoonish, the characters seem charming, and the gameplay is…lacking. The demo contains the game’s intro and one world, Vast Desert, and took…
Europa: Demo Review
Not to be mistaken for Youropa, the correctly spelled Europa follows an android named Zee on an adventure on one of Jupiter’s moons. It seems mankind relocated here, but aside from some old ruins, no sign of them remains. So what happened? Perhaps the game will answer the questions posed by the demo…

Mario Vs Donkey Kong: Demo Review
Mario Vs Donkey Kong was originally a puzzle-platformer for the GameBoy Advance that was remade for the Nintendo Switch. Donkey Kong wanted to buy one of the new Mini-Mario toys, but after he discovers that they’re all sold out, he decides instead to just rob the toy factory where they’re made! The demo contains four…
Princess Peach: Showtime! – Demo Review
Princess Peach: Showtime! Is Peach’s very own spin-off game, where she is tasked with taking on the leading role in a variety of plays and defeating the Sour Bunch! From what I’ve seen, this game features a variety of gameplay, as Peach changes outfits and, therefore, abilities throughout the game. The demo contains two stages,…
