Shooting, kittens, Santa Claus, fantasy, and an FPS in the style of Wolfenstein 3D and DOOM – this weekly column offers a few minutes of healthy interactive fun. Let's play!
Gato Navideño
Gato Navideño is a graphic adventure where the kitten Bonte knocks down the Christmas tree, scattering the red ornaments, those round ones that hang on the tree. The goal of the game is to collect the twenty Christmas ornaments scattered throughout the house. The first ones you'll find in plain sight or hidden under objects. The hardest are guarded by terrible riddles that will require you to use your intellect. Search each room carefully, collecting items that might help you solve puzzles in another room. If you find all the ornaments, you'll finally discover why the cat hated the Christmas tree.
Santa Run 3
Santa Run 3 is a challenging action-packed platformer. Santa Claus is running late for Christmas and his reindeer refuse to take him. Will he make it to the toy store in time? You must reach the bus stops before the vehicle arrives; otherwise, you won't be able to leave the North Pole to deliver gifts. Control Santa through levels where you have to run and jump between platforms while dodging all kinds of deadly traps. To make things worse, some reindeer and penguins want to harm you, but the trickiest part is the strict countdown clock that never stops ticking. Run, Santa, run!
Diseveled
Diseveled is a great game with fights, jumps, acrobatics, magic, and the occasional puzzle scattered through the levels. You control a hero who, by order of the kingdom's wizards, must infiltrate a castle full of demons to destroy the evil advancing on the land. You attack with a sword and can perform special and magical attacks that consume energy from your magic meter. As you progress, you'll find treasure chests, some guarded by enemies or deadly traps. Excellent from every angle, full of action, fights, and adventure.
LAB
LAB is a return to the origins of first-person shooters, inspired by classics like Wolfenstein 3D and DOOM, but with unique graphics, music, and level design. Explore and escape a scientific laboratory overrun by mutants that you must eliminate one by one. This game features pseudo-3D environments and keyboard controls, where you have to pick up every weapon you find, improving your health and armor while fighting all kinds of mutants. Excellent production for fans of classic FPS games.
Ourobos
Ourobos is an action-platformer where you control a space agent equipped with a pistol. A space explorer loses communication with the inhabitants of the planet Ourobos; your mission is to visit the planet and find out what happened while defending yourself against the wildlife and dangers there. You move with the arrow keys, shoot with X, and jump with Z. Watch your bullets because ammunition is scarce. With Game Boy Advance graphics (more or less) and classic but intense action, this game is an excellent example of the old guard.
