The main character looks pretty retro so I gave this game a try expecting that sort of thing. It's got a fairly standard platform style to it with some levels including stuff like boxes as obstacles. The idea here is to shoot all the target pink things and then make it to the level exit. Have to admit, I was surprised when I found that the bullets persist should they come to a stop before falling off screen.
Will I play it again?
No, partly because I finished it. In general, it was ok but there was a sense that it was a game by an amateur who wanted to publish something that made basic use of whatever physics engine he had found. I also found that movement and jumping just didn't really feel right to me. That being said, I didn't exactly have high expectations for this game in the first place so after finding that I had completed all the levels and sort of enjoyed it, I guess I have to conclude that it wasn't bad.

This game puts the player in control of a tire on a platformer sort of track. Gather up sufficient speed to make jumps or travel up walls in order to collect oil cans and stars. Collecting all of the oil cans allows the player to progress to the next level. The stars are placed in locations more difficult to get to and are just there to provide a challenge. I believe collecting all the stars in all levels unlocks the 6th level.
Will I play it again?
Nah. I found it enjoyable but it's the sort of game that you only play once. I was a bit surprised to find that this game only had 6 levels to it. It wasn't a bad thing but it made me wonder a bit if the author expected people to only play for a short while.

This is one of those match 3 type of games where there's something going on in the background which is affected by the matches that are made. In this case, in the background you have an army marching on a castle in the style of kind of Nob War style. Matching 3 symbols gives your army additional troops, or more speed, or otherwise attacks the defending castle. In the end, whichever side's troops are reduced to 0 is defeated.
Will I play it again?
Not likely. I'm not sure why I played it as long as I did. I generally like the whole match 3 thing with stuff going on in the back. But it didn't take long playing this one to see there was going to be a problem. While playing, the occasional unselectable block comes up. That's fine and all and expected in a lot of these games. Except that there's no way to get rid of them. I tried to look at it as an added challenge to work around them but I found that when you have quite a few of these blocks, you're likely to end up with no possible moves and no way to remedy that short of starting the level over. To be honest, this only happened a couple times while I was playing but it pretty much reduced the game to sheer luck.
