Air Pressure

Also known as:  N/A

Developer: bentosmile

I like Air Pressure, but it's extremely short...Like beat the game and see one scenario in three minutes and see all scenarios play out in ten minutes short. It's a visual novel, so it was nice to see that style of game get made here in North America (that genre is pretty big in Japan) even if it is extremely short and limited in content. It's worth checking out if you've never experienced a visual novel, so you can see what they're like without having to devote a ton of time into playing one. Otherwise, Air Pressure is just an okay, shy of being passable, and a very, very short potential intro into the genre that is largely ignored outside of Japan. If nothing else, it'll only cost you ten minutes of your life to give it a try, so what've you got to lose?

The Amazing Frog?

Also known as:  N/A

Developer: FAYJU

The Amazing Frog is terrible...But terrible in a good, cheesy way. Terrible in a way where if it was a movie, you’d enjoy watching it just make fun of the trainwreck that it is…but at the same time, it does actually have some decent ideas tossed in to all of the awful gameplay. Anyway, The Amazing Frog is like of like Pain on the Playstation Network, except you get to walk and roam around instead of getting hurled out of a slingshot. The controls aren't the best, the camera kinda stinks, and yet...I couldn't stop playing when it was first released. Now that I’ve played it with updates and such added to it, as I revisit it for this website, I can say that things have improved quite a bit over the initial release…but it’s still pretty bad, and yes, still bad in an entertaining way…Though they did include an ability to make your way into outer space. Controlling clumsy frogs in space make it a game worth playing all on its own. If you don’t mind dealing with a poor game as long as it’s also an entertaining one, then The Amazing Frog will be right up your alley.

American Dream

Also known as:  N/A

Developer: Terry Cavanagh

American Dream is such a basic, stupid game…but I still played through until the end anyway. Then realized that I hadn’t bought any furniture or anything for my house, so played through again for a second time right afterward, just to see if anything changed. I’m glad I did. Anyway, I’m getting ahead of myself. In American Dream, your goal is to earn a million dollars on the stock market. Not a typical stock market, but a stock market where you invest in celebrities. By trading stocks, you can decide to put that money back into the stock market or use it to add stuff to your home. It’s entirely possible to get to the end without investing a single penny into your house…but if you do so, you’re missing out on the insanity. Bibles that double as furniture catalogs to order from and key parties with very poorly-drawn renditions of what happened at said parties (where you’re always told what stocks would be soaring to new heights for the next week) are what’s in store for you. Because that’s the American Dream, I guess. But anyway, this game is okay but it’s honestly not that great, but it works for what it is, and I was entertained enough by it to play through a few times. I have to admit, I enjoyed it a bit more than my score would suggest…it’s a dumb, but entertaining, and quick game that’s well worth checking out if you have access to an Ouya.
