8/10 Great Pixel graphics, good soundtrack, RPG elements are a nice twist. Great price to scratch that nostalgic itch. A bit challenging but nothing too hard. actually quite fun.

Not without flaws, but Wizorb is a fun time if you manage your expectations. It's NOT an RPG although there is a neutral town where you can give NPCs money to fix up buildings providing some benefits to you. Personally I'm a big fan of the visual style and music, though they might not be for everyone. Challenging as hell, and the ball gets going pretty fast which can make the screen feel a little claustrophobic. For the price, there's a lot of fun here.

I'd recommend it for €1.50 if you want an easy breakout clone with some minimal stuff from RPG games. Game would be better with more and better execution of RPG elements. The wind magic ability was pretty useless too. But enjoyment was found here.

Arkanoid + Zelda Minish Cap 8/10 I was not expecting to like this game as much as I did, but it was a very nice surprise. I bought it as a Tribute Games' fan that wanted to try their whole repertoire and soon found myself addicted to this game. While simple, the game is ingenious in the way it works around the usual shortcomings of the brick breaker/breakout/arkanoid subgenre. You have 2 "magic abilities" with 2 variations (one being normal and the other being precision based upon pressing a button at the moment of contact) for a total of 4 skills: a straight fireball, engulfing the ball in flames so it goes through multiple bricks, a wind gust to change the balls' trajectory and a specific power that allows you to control the trajectory manually for a few seconds. I never played anything but the hardcore difficulty so I can't speak for the normal difficulty balance, but I thought it was pretty well balanced given the abilities you have up until late game. There are online leaderboards but I honestly don't understand the scores presented at the top, they feel like they were done by cheating. I would appreciate the option to pick every stage individually instead of having to repeat the whole stage/world in order to get to where I want. Bosses were a nice inclusion. Achievements are all pretty interesting other than the grind one (get 50k gold which is just a time sink, could be improved by having a gold multiplier for not dying instead of the "IMMORTAL" bonus, would make it far less tedious and still encourage skill play). There is an unlockable "SUPER ATTACK" that you can use once in every stage and the process of unlocking it was fun, it is very useful tro make grinding much easier later as it can really cut the time you need to spend on a stage AND reset the ball/throw once used. All in all, I can clearly see this was a game made with a defined scope to jump into the XNA boom of early XBLA days. It is my favorite Arkanoid game on steam, right beside Strikey Sisters (which I also recommend). Would love competitive play to be more incentivized, but the game pretty much nails everything it set out to do. Highly recommended, just don't expect more than what it is.

Having just completed all the achievements in Wizorb, I can confidently say this game is a delightful blend of nostalgia and innovation. From the moment I started playing, I was drawn into its charming world, and now, after countless hours of fun, I’m excited to share my experience. **Gameplay and Mechanics** Wizorb is a unique take on the classic brick-breaker genre, infusing it with RPG elements that add depth and variety. As Cyrus, a wizard capable of transforming into a magical orb, players must navigate through numerous levels, destroying blocks and defeating enemies. The controls are smooth, and the power-ups add a strategic layer that keeps each level feeling fresh and exciting. Mastering the game’s mechanics to achieve all the achievements was both challenging and immensely rewarding. **Graphics and Sound** The retro pixel art style is vibrant and meticulously crafted, evoking the charm of classic 16-bit games. Each level is beautifully designed, with a diverse range of environments that keep the visual experience engaging. The soundtrack complements the visuals perfectly, with catchy tunes that enhance the nostalgic feel while adding to the overall immersion. **Storyline** While Wizorb’s story is minimal, it’s enjoyable and serves as a perfect backdrop to the gameplay. The quest to save the kingdom of Gorudo from an evil curse is straightforward but engaging. The brief interactions with townsfolk and the incremental rebuilding of the village add a sense of progression and purpose, making every brick broken feel meaningful. **Achievements and Replayability** Earning all the achievements was a satisfying journey, offering a variety of challenges that kept me coming back for more. Each achievement is thoughtfully designed, encouraging players to explore different aspects of the game and perfect their skills. The sense of accomplishment from unlocking every achievement added an extra layer of enjoyment to the experience. **Final Thoughts** Wizorb is a delightful indie gem that combines the best elements of classic brick-breakers and RPGs. Its retro aesthetic, coupled with engaging gameplay and a charmingly minimal story, provides a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Completing all the achievements was a testament to the game’s ability to captivate and entertain. If you’re a fan of retro games or simply looking for something unique and fun, Wizorb is definitely worth your time. I had a great time playing Wizorb, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a nostalgic yet fresh gaming experience.
