Preview – ZPF
I love a good nouveau retro release. ZPF is a horizontal shooter by the devs of Tanzer and is published by Mega Cat Studios. It bills itself as a Future Metal Fantasy and comes loaded with more colours than you can count (64 probably). Here's an early look at its demo.

Preview – He Is Coming
Roguelites feel like they make up somewhere around half of the indie and small budget sector these days. Autobattlers are maybe a bit less common. So, by the cover, He Is Coming might not sound that novel, but that doesn't mean there are no cards up its sleeve.

Rescued Kusoge – Join me on my quest to see nipples in BMX XXX
I had a long running column during my time at Destructoid, but the new owners delisted one of them. Probably because of the title, but that's dumb anyway. So my lost Weekly Kusoge article on BMX XXX is here now. As always, their loss is your gain.

Review – Off-Peak
Speaking of Cosmo D, why not take a look back at where it all started? Technically, it's not here. But I do talk about Saturn V a bit. No, this review is instead about the start of the loose Off-Peak series of games, appropriately just named Off-Peak.

Preview – Moves of the Diamond Hand
Cosmo D has finally pulled the sheet off of their newest project, Moves of the Diamond Hand. It's being split into four parts and gradually released through Early Access. Taking a page from all the best drug dealers, the first hit is free, afterwards, you will have to pay.

Review – Rock’n Rage
Musicians traveling through time is strangely well-trodden ground. Rock'n Rage could be called a pioneer of it. Maybe? It involves bandmates hitting mummies with their instruments. I'm not sure there's another game like it out there, so that's positive. It's just too bad the quality isn't quite there.

Preview – Promise Mascot Agency
Paradise Killer is an indie gem, and we're currently looking down the barrel of Kaizen Game Works' follow-up, Promise Mascot Agency. It's simultaneously weirder than you're expecting, while also being grounded in a lot of satisfying ways. You'll be seeing the demo during the February 2025 Steam Next Fest.

Review – WWF Betrayal
The Monday Night War had just wrapped up, the WWF had reached new heights, we'd just seen some of the best wrestling games of all time hit the market, and Wayforward released one of its own. That's a great build up, it's just too bad WWF Betrayal is garbage water.

Review – The Rocky Horror Show Video Game (2024)
Do you have some toast on hand to throw at the screen? It's time to look at the subversive impact that the Rocky Horror Picture Show had, illustrated through a personal anecdote. The best kind of anecdote. Also, if there's time, there may be some words on the recent game.

Review – Keep Driving
I'm still on a quest to find the perfect road trip game. I wouldn't have expected an attempt at the concept from the Post Void devs, but that's exactly what Keep Driving is. Taking inspiration from The Oregon Trail, it's maybe not how I envision my ideal road trip, but it's close.
