SEBI 16

Some beautiful little games, surprisingly deep, love it!

Great collection of very polished pico-8 games.

I bought this game because I want to see more collections of smaller games on Steam and I think this fit the bill. That being said, how good are the games? Actually pretty decent! The Arcade and platformer games are the strongest of the bunch, while I believe the Puzzle and Strategy games are sorely lacking. The art in all of the games is expressive and does a good job making the games feel unique, even if some are clearly spiritual successors to previous ones. The music is a mixed bag, I'd say half the tracks are great and half of them are meh. My fave games, ranked in order from top to bottom: Oh, High! This hits that "Newgrounds flash game that I'm still addicted to after years away from it" itch pretty effectively, even if the game isn't all that pleasant to look at. Planet Digger This one might rival some of Punkcake Deliceux's games. Very challenging but fair and fun to control once you get the hang of it. Possibly the best game in the entire pack. Dropblop Okay this Puzzle game is the best one. Simple but reflex-heavy. Feels like both Bomberman and an ultra-fast LCD game. If you added a few more block types and changed the background music a couple times, you could sell this by itself for like 3 bucks. Berry Brother It's "I Demand Coffee" but better and actually functions correctly the entire time. I like the perspective gimmick even though it could've done more. If you like games like this, go play OOO or VVVVVV, too. Breakolf It is a simple idea that works for the exact length of time the game lasts and not a moment longer. Kattenouten Of all the games with odd or weird controls, this one felt the best and most fun to play, unfortunately it's also criminally short. I'd like to see a full game of this! Some games that don't work well: Cards With Personalities This one has a lot of information on tiny cards, and is very impressive from a graphical asset stance, but doesn't feel all that good to play or strategize in. I've heard the full version on Steam is better, so give that a try if you want something more fleshed out. Flanet It's tower defense with one solution (just plant cannons and jump sometimes) and zero strategy. Kinda pointless and boring. Fervour This one could have been good, but the limited view and attacking in combat didn't feel good at all to control. Bland environment and enemies. Needed more time to develop. Dice Mice This one is just boring. It's Dicey Dungeons but Yahtzee with zero personality and slow battles. Ironically enough, both this game and Cards with Personalities did not leave a lasting impression on me at all. Overall, not a bad collection, but nothing too amazing to write home about either. I mostly enjoyed my time with Sebi 16! 6.5/10.
