We Take a Look at Epic Loon



This past weekend I managed to stream an indie game named Epic Loon, by Macrales Studios and Ukuza Games a fun little platformer that will ruin friendships. This is a supplementary review, if you want to see my first impressions of the game right after I was done playing it, go check the video down below.



Epic Loon is a quite difficult physics platformer where you play as an alien blob that has possessed a VHS belonging to a movie aficionado named Joe. Your sole purpose in life is to ruin Joe’s favorite movies. Clearly, Joe is not to keen on that, and he will do everything in his power to dispose of you and your alien comrades. I have to say, I really loved the visual of the game, and the little live action intro video, it really put me in the mood of the game. The whole “VHS player” setting lends itself to interesting challenges. Joe will fast forward or rewind the tape in order to make your life miserable.

The gameplay is fairly simple, move and jump in your regular alien form, stick to surfaces and fling yourself to other platforms in your goop form. Simple as it might be, the game difficulty ramps up pretty quickly. There is two modes, Story mode and VS mode. I only managed to play the story mode but I gotta say, your alien friends will get in your way and ruin your life. I played Epic Loon by myself and with a bunch of NPC’s because I had nobody to play with, but still, the suckers proved to be just as annoying as any of my friends. I believe that multiplayer is the best part of the game. This game feels specifically designed to play with multiple people, you know, a fun party game that will make you want to strangle your friends. That’s where the replayability of the game lies, after all, there’s not too many levels, four movies in total.

Each level is a parody of famous movies like “Jurassic Land” or “Noferacula”. Even though there are only four movies, they feel quite lengthy thanks to the difficulty. You gotta traverse through different iconic scenes, reaching the portal that will take you to the next one before your friends. I do have some gripes with the game though, I found myself stuck in some parts of the game and it definitely didn’t feel like it was my fault. I couldn’t finish the Alien themed movie just because I found myself out of the level somehow and the AI was too stupid to beat it in order to progress. Even before that, there was a level where I needed to use some alien eggs to travel across the map but due to the nature of the physics of the game, the things bugged off the map making the level ten times more difficult! Also for the life of me, I couldn’t find a way to lower the volume of the game. I had options to turn the voices, sound effects and music off but I couldn’t lower it. These are small complaints that can easily be fixed with future patches though.

My time with Epic Loon was a blast! I intended to stream the game for an hour but I end up streaming for two hours and some change thanks to the salt coursing through my body! You do get some rewards for completing each movie, a costume for your little alien, and I wasn’t going to leave without unlocking that stupid yellow raincoat from Jurassic Land! All and all if you like difficult physic platforming games or if you want to start a fight with your friends, this game might be for you.


Have you played Epic Loon?  What are your thoughts on the game? Let us know. Thank you to Macrales Studios and Ukuza Games for allowing us to play the game. Now I return to the deepest darkest corners of my dwelling. Good-bye, for now, my friends. Before I leave follow me and check out all the games I stream Luiggi Cavanna

A New Def Jam game maybe? Roster Ideas by Corey Floyd

over the past month or so DefJam has been throwing some hints that they might make another fighting game. About two console generations ago (ps2, Xbox, GC) there was a game from EA BIG called Def Jam Vendetta. It was a wrestling style game but with hip-hop artists. DMX would literally kick your ass. Redman & Method Man was the best (and still are) tag team ever. It was a hit !! The follow-up fight for NY was a great sequel with even more artists in fighting form. Then the third one was garbage, hot garbage simmering in garbage juice. It bombed hard. Now it looks like we might get another. Bosslogic even came up with a title. Today I'm gonna come up with who should be in it. Some old, some new, some more gals, and some new dudes. 1. Missy Elliot Missy Elliot has been in the game for a long time. Somehow despite all of her hits, she has never been given the title of queen of hip-hop. In the game, she could be the queen of mean. Give her a footing style that matc

Scissor Seven on Netflix Stream or Skip

STREAM OR SKIP?   Scissor Seven is a Chinese animated series that was streamed in 2018 with the name of Killer Seven. As soon as Netflix streamed this show at the start of 2020, it became a hit globally! With the increasing popularity of Anime, Netflix has created a whole Anime library for anime fans. Scissor Seven is the first Chinese anime being streamed on Netflix. It’s a serious debate on whether to call it an anime or not, but I won’t get into that discussion for now.   Why Should You Watch Scissor Seven? If I needed to coat only a single thing in the list of why you should be watching it that would be the COMEDY! It is hilarious! Seven might not be the best killer, but that Goofy-head is the best entertainer for sure! It is a hilarious satire on the whole hero business, as we can how Seven is nothing but a Professional Goof! Scissors is his ultimate weapon on which he uses his telekinetic abilities. Every Hero needs a sidekick, here our sidekick is an angry bird with
