Super Jagger Bomb is an arcade action title from Spanish software soloist CheapeeSoft Games.

From boutique Brazilian dev Naoka Games and prolific publisher eastasiasoft, we have Rayland. It’s a very simple concept and we wish we could say it’s been fully fleshed out to a bigger game. You see, Rayland is another bite sized effort with just forty two levels from start to finish. […]

Drunken Fist 2: Zombie Hangover is the latest bite-sized effort from our pals at eastasiasoft. As is becoming increasingly familiar, what we’ve got here is a seemingly slight effort, though with more polish than the itch.io stuff punted out by Ratalaika.

Divination, stylised as //DIVINATION\\, opens with a warning that it depicts disturbing imagery and themes.

From three-man Kiwi developer Rainbite (of Vita/PS4 adventure Reverie) and prolific shoot-em-up publisher Eastasiasoft comes Trigger Witch.
