A solid month of games as usual, cheers and congrats to all the game devs! Always a blast when Madness Day comes around as I love indulging in some good ol' action violence: how ironic then that my favorite one of the batch was actually cutesy ITAZURA MADNESS, haha! Oh well, there's always MADFPS 2 to give me my bloody, chunky shotgun gibs.


While the list was dominated by Madness and plenty of good games, definitely don't sleep on some of the other ones featured lower down the list, such as:




And while you're at it, give The Last Slice demo a whirl so you can provide feedback to make their final version the best it can be when it comes out on Steam!



(and wishlist it on steam here to give it some publicity if ya like it: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1219540/Last_Slice/)
