Anima Flux: Co-Op Metroidvania Mayhem

How far are you willing to go for the sake of humanity? Would you transfer your soul to another soldier? In Anima Flux, that is the only way to escape the certain death that awaits..

OUR VERDICT

Why we chose this game?

Anima Flux earns our Game of the Week spotlight for being a brilliantly crafted love letter to co-op Metroidvania fans. With its adrenaline-pumping action, richly stylized dystopian world, and seamless character-switching mechanics, it doesn’t just revive the genre; it elevates it. This is indie ambition at its finest, and we couldn’t be more excited to champion it.

Game of the (16th) Week, 2025

Jet Scalawag: The King of Shooters stood out to us this week not just for its explosive action, but for its sharp execution and confident style. It delivers a fast-paced shooter experience that feels both retro and refreshingly original, with precise controls, clever level design, and a visual flair that makes every moment feel larger than life.

What ultimately secured its spot as our Game of the Week is how effortlessly it blends arcade chaos with thoughtful design. It's a game that knows exactly what it wants to be. And hits the mark with style.

Game of the (15th) Week, 2025

Every now and then, a game drops into our inbox that just makes us grin. Defend from Candyland did exactly that. We didn’t expect to fall in love with a pastel-splattered tower defense game full of evil gummy bears and jelly beans... but here we are.

It’s creative, it’s self-aware, and it’s genuinely fun. More importantly, it reminded us that indie games can be bold, weird, and still mechanically tight. That’s why it’s our Game of the Week; not just because it’s polished, but because it surprised us in the best way.

Game of the (14th) Week, 2025

The Hell: City Builder of the Dead earns its place as our Game of the Week for its inventive twist on the city-building genre. Instead of managing farms and factories, you're orchestrating torment and expansion in the underworld—yet it never feels like a gimmick.

What makes it stand out is the balance it strikes between dark humor and genuinely engaging mechanics. The game invites players to think strategically while embracing its hellish theme with confidence and creativity. It's a rare case where concept, tone, and gameplay are all working in sync, and the result is something that feels truly original.
