Tuesday, April 14th, 2015: Out of the swamp, finally

The last four days have been exceptionally dry. However, a few games were released amid the muck. Notably in this list is Kingdom Come and Puzzlewood Quests, two puzzlers that both use a fantasy theme, have pretty good progression systems, although pretty much use story and characterization only as concepts rather than fully formed systems.

Running Strike uses a Mario Kart fighting mechanic, while sticking to a basic run and jump strategy against other players. It's notable that your opponents are always real players with a minimal emoticon chat system.

Flappy Death Run is funny, but other than that it's a pit of freemium dredge. The last three mentioned (Valkyrie Bullet, Stone of Souls, and Final Strike) all seem exceptionally unfinished, but deserve a place for at least "standing out" from the cornucopia of ugh that has been released (so far) this week.
