Astro Flame: Starfighter (XSX) Review with stream
A vertical shooter with a leveling upgrade system, Astro Flame: Starfighter is a Sometimes You published $10 digital download. The gimmick of this shmup comes from the upgrading system. Each defeated enemy drops material that can be collected and then spent to unlock and upgrade numerous ship parts. Besides making the basic firepower cause more […]
Boss Rush: Mythology (XSX) Review with stream
A 2-D fighting game, Boss Rush: Mythology pits you against numerous mythological creatures one at a time. Sort of like mini-Dark Souls, this marionette fighter is challenging, loose, yet slightly technical. You know how in the end of any retro Mega Man game the player is place into a hub screen and you enter a […]
Kraino Origins (Switch) Review
Originally released as a mobile game, Kraino Origins is a retro SNES-style action platformer that feels right at home on Switch. Caught somewhere between Shovel Knight and the original NES Ninja Gaiden, players will have plenty of tough-but-fair levels to traverse and enemies to best. Playing as a skeleton that uses a scythe as a […]
Pronty (Switch) Review
Following the classic Metroid-like formula, Pronty is an action-adventure title set under the sea, but it separates itself by including a couple main gameplay tweaks, for better and worse. You control Pronty, a sea creature that just started his duty of being a Protector when bad fishies start to invade. Even though you have not […]
Silenced: The House (Xbox One) Review with stream
Silenced: The House is a choose-your-path visual novel regarding vulgar teenagers navigating a creepy house and its surrounding area. Swordbreaker and Dull Grey, other Sometimes You released titles, have identical gameplay (or technically, lack thereof) for comparison. That’s the thing. There really isn’t much game here. You just hit the “advance the text” button until […]
Succubus With Guns is a 3rd person shooter with undead combat
Succubus With Guns will be released on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch on November 18, 2022 for $9.99 by Sometimes You.

Solve puzzles to deliver mail in Pnevmo-Capsula
Pnevmo-Capsula will be released on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch on October 19, 2022 for $4.99 by Sometimes You. “Pnevmo-Capsula” is a casual adventure game. You will travel to an alternate utopian atompunk world as a small trolley delivering mail. Time seems to have stopped at the break of 1930-1960 […]
Blood Waves (XSX) Review with stream
Originally released a couple years ago on Xbox One and PS4, an XSX and PS5 version of Blood Waves is now available. Published by Sometimes You, this is a single player horde mode where a Lara Croft lookalike must survive waves of aggressive zombie attacks with severely underpowered firearms. To quickly summarize, this game is […]
Back Again (PS4) Review with stream
Back Again is weird, indie, low-cost first-person platformer that offers a trippy, experimental experience. Listed at a budget-friendly price of $2.99, this hour-long campaign contains an easy Platinum for players that do not invert their Y-axis camera control. Honestly, Back Again is nearly unplayable for me as there is no option to invert the Y-axis. […]
Hillbilly Doomsday (Xbox Series X) Review with stream
Hillbilly Doomsday fits into the Sometimes You library of published titles. It features simple, approachable gameplay. It only costs a few bucks. And it focuses its entire approach around one gimmick, in this case, smacking the crap out of monsters with a wide shovel swing and watching the gory chunks fall everywhere. Despite the over-the-top […]
Why Pizza? (XSX) Review with stream
A purposely outlandish physics-based platformer, Why Pizza? will scratch your head and test your patience. It isn’t a bad platformer, just one that is super weird. It is so strange it might be off-putting to some. Playing as a pizza delivery thing (humanoid but not human) and it is your job to reach the end […]
Retro inspired platformer Hillbilly Doomsday coming to consoles soon
Hillbilly Doomsday will be released on PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch on June 29, 2022 and will be $4.99. Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch versions got -20% discount during two weeks pre-order period. This game is published by Sometimes You. Xbox Series X|S version got -50% discount […]
Platformer, Puzzler, and Delivery Sim Why Pizza? getting console release soon

Remote Life (Xbox One) Review with stream
Created by a single developer, Remote Life is a horizontal shooter with twin-stick controls, host to a dark and disturbing visual style with eerie soundtrack, and has a weapon system and difficulty configuration that makes gameplay fun and accessible. This detailed $20 shmup would be an impressive release for any game development team but that […]
The Mooseman (XSX) Review with stream
The Mooseman, now available on XSX and PS5 with visual enhancements over the original release, is a game that is much more focused on the narrative and overall experience than the actual gameplay. It is not bad, just different. Because this game is so far out there, it feels like a Nakana.io title when in […]
Music Racer: Ultimate is a dynamic music-based racing game
Published by ‘Sometimes You’, Music Racer: Ultimate is a dynamic music-based racing game where you not only get to choose your ride but your very own rhythm too! Music Racer: Ultimate will be released on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One on March 4th. It will be priced at $6.99 USD […]
Summertime Madness (XSX) Review with stream
A single player first person puzzle game, Summertime Madness is a walking simulator and has similar gameplay to In Rays Of The Light, another Sometimes You published title. Without a UI or any direction on what to do, the landscape subtly guides the player on where to go next, creating a memorable experience. There is […]
SNK Vs. Capcom: Card Fighters’ Clash (Switch) Review
When SNK released the Neogeo Pocket Color Selection Vol.1 on Switch and later on Steam, there was hope that eventually a Vol.2 would become available. Until (if) that day comes, NGPC fans now have one additional game to enjoy, SNK VS Capcom: Card Fighters’ Clash and Code Mystics once again worked their magic to create […]
First-person puzzle game Summertime Madness coming to consoles soon

Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch versions got -20% discount during two weeks pre-order period. Xbox Series X|S version got -50% discount for owners […]
Angry Alligator (PS4) Review with stream
From the banner graphic, screenshots, and trailer, Angry Alligator seems like it is a Feeding Frenzy-style arcade action game but first impressions can lie. Instead, AA is a broken mess of an open-world action game with light RPG mechanics that could very well drive the player to drink. Starting in the corner of the map, […]
Catty & Batty: The Spirit Guide (Xbox One) Review with stream
Another low cost, simple digital download by Sometimes You, Catty & Batty: The Spirit Guide is basically a ChuChu Rocket-lite. Instead of guiding mice to an exit while avoiding cats like in Sega’s neglected multiplayer puzzler, players take control of a hand drawn cat (or a bat) to guide spirits to a goal. ChuChu Rocket […]
Sometimes You releasing two puzzle games soon – Energy Cycle and Energy Cycle Edge
Energy Cycle and Energy Cycle Edge coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S this October. Remastered versions of classic puzzle games. Now you can play them in 4K resolution! Energy Cycle will be released on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles on October 20, 2021 for $2.99. Xbox Series X|S version got -20% discount for […]
Boulder Dash Deluxe (Xbox One) Review with stream
Boulder Dash Deluxe is a bit of an odd release considering Boulder Dash 30th Anniversary was released a year ago. Using the same engine, gameplay, and overall presentation, Boulder Dash Deluxe is essentially a $15 expansion pack to the 30th Anniversary despite being two titles individually released. If you never played Boulder Dash before, you […]
Catty & Batty: The Spirit Guide is an upcoming hand-drawn co-op tower defense title
Catty & Batty: The Spirit Guide will be released on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch on October 13, 2021. Like most other Sometimes You titles, this game has a $4.99 price. Catty & Batty: The Spirit Guide is a casual couch co-op puzzle game, inspired by Lemmings and […]
Mask of Mists (Xbox Series X) Review
Mask of Mists originally launched on Xbox One about one year ago. Now, Sometimes You has released a specific version for Xbox Series X. The asking price is $15 but Xbox One owners looking to upgrade can get a 50% discount. In short, this newer Xbox Series X version plays exactly like the Xbox One […]
Alveole (Xbox One) Review with stream
Originally starting as a hobby and the product of hack-a-thons, Alveole is an experimental puzzle game built about a single theme – cage. With a unique minimalistic presentation and only using a single button, Alveole isn’t a bad game by any means, just a really odd one with limited replay value. Playing as a stick […]
In Rays of the Light (Xbox Series X/S) Review
Originally released in 2012 as The Light, In Rays of the Light, published by Sometimes You, is a self-guided walking simulator. Playing as a solo man with no indication on where to go or what to do, the ultimate goal is to explore an abandoned city block that is empty, dreary, but still creepily beautiful. […]
Witchcrafty (Vita) Review
Tons of credit must be given to Sometimes You and Pigeon Dev Games for releasing one of the last games to be commercially available on the PlayStation Vita. Witchcrafty, a Metroidvanai-lite, feels like it is the younger brother of Sometimes You’s other favorable platformer, Sir Lovelot, while incorporating the wonderfully composed techno-y tunes of Explosive […]
Arkan: The Dog Adventurer (Xbox One) Review with stream
The latest release by Sometimes You, Arkan: The Dog Adventurer takes classic Arkanoid (single player Pong) and turns it into a thoughtful twin-stick shooter. The approach is so simple but yet so effective it is a wonder why this formula has not been demonstrated previously. Playing as a wizard Shiba Inu, the goal is to […]
Competitive puzzle game Mind Maze gets PS Vita and Console release in July 2021
Mind Maze will be released on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Nintendo Switch and Xbox One on July 20th for $4.99. Mind Maze is a logical competitive game based on capturing of the playing field and will be released by Sometimes You. Put walls, build a labyrinth, capture cells of playing field. Do not […]
BitMaster (Xbox One) Review with stream
BitMaster is a new twin stick shooter by Sometimes You. It only costs $5 but unfortunately plays like an action game built on a tight budget. From a maze-like environment, the goal is to kill all the plainly designed geometric shapes until the boss appears. The concept is simple enough but gameplay falters at every […]
Cyjin: The Cyborg Ninja (PC) (Early Access) Review
Tired of intense platformers mostly being required to play with a controller? Worry not, there is a half robot half ninja cyborg featured precision platformer with great potential sitting in the development stage. Even early access to the game can give you the overall scope of what this game will look like in its fully-fledged […]
Twin-Stick Shooter Bitmaster coming to Xbox One and Switch in June
Bitmaster will be released on Nintendo Switch and Xbox One on June 23, 2021 for $4.99. This game will be released by Sometimes You. Bitmaster is a dynamic and colorful twin-stick shooter. You need to destroy the enemies and collect power-ups to improve weapons. Game balance changes periodically, which makes the game unpredictable and difficult […]
Dull Grey (Xbox One) Review with stream
A digital novel with a minimalistic visual style and gameplay, Dull Grey is a cold tale about oppression, opportunities, and choices. It isn’t often a game this dark fully absorbs its namesake. There isn’t much game here as the player only selects one of two options at certain points of the narrative. Taking the role […]
Escape from Life Inc (Xbox One) Review
Made by a 15 year old developer and published by Sometimes you, Escape from Life Inc is a Lost Vikings-style puzzle platformer with a comedic narrative. The graphical presentation looks like it was created in MS Paint but don’t let the visuals be distracting as this 3-5 hour romp plays better than you might assume. […]
Doodle Devil: 3volution (Xbox One) Review
Doodle Devil: 3volution is described as a puzzle world game by JoyBits, the development studio, but I think it might be better described as a lesson in confusion. With no goal, direction, or reason why, I don’t think I have ever been more confused by gameplay. Explaining what Doodle Devil: 3volution is not an easy […]
Dungeons & Bombs (Xbox One) Review
Continuing their trend of releasing adorably cute short-burst arcade style games, Sometimes You has released Dungeons & Bombs, a puzzle game that seems to run on the Explosive Jake engine. Although it might look like a Bomberman clone from screenshots, this is a trial and error puzzle game through and through. Playing as a knight […]
Sir Lovelot (Xbox One) Review with stream
Developed by Pixel Games and published by Sometimes You, Sir Lovelot is a highly entertaining Meat Boy-like platformer that is never overly difficult. Instead of focusing on reaching the end of a brutally designed stage, the focus instead is placed a little more on exploration and collecting a couple key items all from a charming […]
Escape from Life Inc was made by a 15 year old and is published by Sometimes You
Escape from Life Inc will be released on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and Xbox One on March 31st. The price is $9.99. You didn’t have any legs… so we gave you some! “Escape from Life Inc” is a quirky story-driven puzzle platformer, where you switch between three animals: a walking fish, an arrogant […]
GraviFire (Xbox One) Review
GraviFire by Sometimes You is a simple 2D block pushing puzzle game that is best played in short bursts. The player controls a wisp of fire that has been abducted by aliens, outfitted with a space suit, and forced to push blocks onto switches. There are a total of 50 levels to complete with some […]
