JUMP! is really well done. I’m enjoying it thoroughly – even though I suck at it
Regarding Alien Encounters, I don’t see how the developer can call a game that spends the majority of its time (judging by videos) in a third person view a FPS. Bad choice of words. Unless of course you can play the whole thing in either third person or first person, then this should be included in the description instead of reading “A Sci-Fi first person shooter”.
Try it and you’ll see. It’s only a 3rd-person-ish looking FPS. Basically, where you would normally see a gun, you see a guy.
Hi chaps,
I’ve tried ‘Arkedo Series – 01 JUMP!’ off your list. Have to say I really enjoyed it. Very clean and fun game.
will try the rest soon. My only observation for Jump is during the first level I wanted to go back to the menu and buy, but couldnt find the option. Had to go back to the dashboard. Let me give you my money damn you…
but very good stuff anyway!
