From the Press Release
Spicy Horse Games announced that closed beta signups for its upcoming title The Gate--formerly Hell Invaders--are now underway. PC and Mac players around the world are invited to sign up and battle devils and demons to determine the King of the Underworld via a unique blend of card collecting and real time strategy.

Conquering the abyss will require guts and guile, but there are some things that help along the way:
  • Collect the most diabolical team of Hell's finest monsters and defeat your rivals, both demonic and human
  • Equip your team with the most powerful skills and spells
  • Level each team member by sacrificing other, weaker team members along the way
  • Trade with other players to build your team
  • Work with other players to fight through numerous arenas and big, bad Bosses too powerful for one would-be king alone
  • Strategically and tactically manage your team as they fight through Hell.

 The first 10,000 players to sign up will enter the initial round of testing and get a first look at the awesome new game from the makers of Alice: Madness Returns and Akaneiro: Demon Hunters.

Crazy Kung Fu: A chunky, focused fitness‑meets‑reflex fighter (VR Game Review)

Crazy Kung Fu transforms martial‑arts training into a physical rhythm game that sharpens reflexes and raises your heart rate: fast, reflex‑driven, calorie‑burning gameplay wrapped in deep moddability. What started as a focused VR reflex trainer has evolved into a vibrant, community‑shaped practice arena; richer environments, meaningful cosmetic rewards, and new systems that push precision, stamina, and skill growth in equal measure. What the game is • High‑intensity reflex combat : Fast, physical gameplay that maps your hands and body to punching, dodging, and blocking; scoring rewards precise timing and optimal range so every movement matters. • Deep, varied content : 72 handcrafted levels across four distinct modes (Train, Fight, Focus/Compete, Workout/Event), with modifiers and multi‑tier difficulties that scale from welcoming warmups to brutal, pro‑level tests. • Distinct, atmospheric arenas : Six immersive environments; from intimate dojos to a tranquil bamboo forest; each with b...

Captain Wayne: Vacation Desperation - Retro Rampage on Orca Isle (Game Review)

Captain Wayne: Vacation Desperation detonates with hand‑drawn, ink‑drenched visuals and breakneck retro shooter action, grafting a double‑barreled shotgun onto a sailor’s arm and sending him on a gleefully gory rampage across Orca Isle. Released November 25, 2025 by Ciaran Games LLC and published by Silver Lining Interactive, the game fuses frantic boomer‑shooter gunplay with over‑the‑top animated cutscenes, a ripping, adrenaline‑driven soundtrack, and an endless arena mode that keeps the chaos replayable, equal parts cartoon carnage and twitch‑focused design that rewards speed, improvisation, and a taste for glorious destruction.

Haymaker: VR Brawling, Up Close - Authentic, physics‑first combat that turns your body into the controller. (Game Review)

Haymaker is a physics‑first VR brawler in active Early Access that prioritizes authentic, body‑driven melee and high replayability. Its core systems are already playable: weighty, physics‑based hand interactions for grabbing, grappling, and striking; gesture‑driven kicks and knees that reward full‑body motion; adaptive AI that reads and reacts to the battlefield; and sandbox encounters that encourage improvisation with props and environment. Many systems remain in prototype; levels, progression loops, and some modes are still being shaped, but the mechanical foundation is solid and satisfying. The studio is deliberately using Early Access as a development lab: player feedback will guide tuning, bug fixes, and content expansion, so the game you play now is a promising glimpse of a more polished, content‑rich brawler to come. Core systems and combat • Physics‑driven hands : Interactions are governed by a weight‑aware physics model that responds to force, angle, and momentum; so grabs, h...
