Hi! Allow me to pimp a project by two friends of my, talented game developers Josiah Tobin and Ruben Rodriguez.
Watch the trailer of Worlds Beyond: http://www.kickstart...ut-the-end-of-t
A really cool 2D RPG with an intriguing story about the end of the world, or better yet, the new reality after the end of the one we know. Really interesting.
Pledged 250$!
I can vouch for the guys being diligent and talented. Some 6 years ago they developed one of the best games in the compiler I use, a cool Zelda-style action-adventure game entitled Lynn's Legacy. It's free: http://games.freebas...yid.php?input=2
So yeah, if intrigued by their past work or the new project, pledge! These guys deserve it.

Only one review (mine). Just a generally depressing thing. Any chance for you finding more time in the near future?

C'mon! I know life gets in the way, but almost half year without updates!
You wouldn't believe how rare these sites are on the internet, fully dedicated to freeware games (that actually review stuff). Would like to see this site dying like Gamehippo.
Stupid industry will kill us all.
Rant over.

Thanks for accepting my review. If only I had more time for this. Sadly, game dev bug won't leave me, so from time to time I gotta try it myself too.

Hi. I see the site hasn't been updated for some time now. Not sure if my contribution will be appreciated and if someone has the time to add it to the site. You already featuring my review of Spuds Quest.
Recently I discovered Hyper Princess Pitch, a brilliant top-down shooter by the author of Iji. I think it should be featured on Reloaded.org.
Hope my review is up to your standards.
***************************************************
Hyper Princess Pitch is an absolutely marvelous top-down, single screen shooter by Daniel Remar, also known for his equally excellent Iji and Hero games.
Described as a remake of a less known DOS action game Operation: Carnage from 1996, Hyper Princess Pitch takes a spin on the original serious Alien-style SF story and delivers something several times more fun and exhilarating to play.
While copying the gameplay of Operation: Carnage, the design is more in the vein of Llamatron or maybe "Bullet hell" shooters, frantic and relentless.
The story places the player in the role of Princess Pitch who has a mission to take vengeance on Mecha Santa and his robot elves for not getting a Christmas present. Now, the plot might sound silly and trivial and the idea of playing a spoiled brat not very attractive, but the way the story is delivered and the Princess designed, including superb voice acting, is pure brilliance and will make you fall in love with the game world and the main character immediately.
As I previously said, the gameplay is single screen based, with each screen (room) featuring several waves of enemies, previously present in the room or swarming from various gates. The goal is to destroy them using 3 weapons at your disposal (brick gun - unlimited ammo, ice, rainbow), taking the least amount of damage, all in order to proceed to the next room. Hyper Princess Pitch's gameplay features a wide range of enemies, from regular robot elves, lethal toy trains to flying battle sleds. The game is divided into 4 levels, with each level featuring its final boss, and each level boss requires a different tactic for victory. To reach the last room of the level the player can take several paths, which increases the replay value of the game, among other features I'll brush off later. The gameplay is also enriched with many powerups, bonus items and special moves the Princess can perform. In a nutshell, it's impossible to be bored by this game. The engine is smooth and flawless and the controls are simple as it gets. With arrow keys you move the princess, while with the other two action keys you shoot or change weapons. While shooting and moving the direction of gun fire remains the same, which is an important feature to use when fending off enemies.
The game allows you to play in 5 difficulty levels, with every completed difficulty level unlocking new secrets, so the game is rewarding to replay several times, even more having in mind the previously mentioned multipath level design. It's not the longest game out there, which is the only flaw I can think of, but this fact is compensated almost completely by the replay value features.
Hyper Princess Pitch above all boasts with its brilliantly energetic and flamboyant design, one that is so beautifully consistent, starting from the opening, main menu, delivery of the story, to all the smaller and bigger details that make the gameplay. The very graphical design is flawless, including wonderful and effective retro graphics, vibrant animation and various graphics effects. Despite the screen being crammed with enemies and explosions for the most of time, the action is always clear and you never feel overwhelmed with content.
On the top of brilliant graphical design, Daniel Remar doesn't drop the ball when it comes to sounds effects that accompany the game's retro style perfectly, and he also manages to acquire the talents of Niklas Ström for the original game soundtrack.
One of the best freeware "discoveries" for me in the last two years and a game I can recommend to anyone, anytime, who ever that person happens to be or think he/she is.
Positive points
* fun and exhilarating gameplay
* excellent and vibrant retro design (the whole package)
Negative points
* relatively short game
My score: 4.5

Not sure I share your enthusiasm Frodo. The game is way too short for such a score (3.5 would be realistic to me). It features mere 4 scenes. And I didn't find the story that interesting. The graphics are very good, but not that much animation in the game beside the main character, so I'm not sure how much the developer is really skilled.
I suggest you revisit Cedric and the Revolution and Reactor 9 to put this micro-game in better perspective.

Played it for 2 more hours. Not sure it's gonna happen. To much gameplay padding in my opinion.

Seems like a typical hack and slash RPG, adequately executed. I like the post-apocalyptic setting, and maybe in the next episodes this is exploited better, but episode 1 doesn't start with a really intriguing premise. It's classical "protect the town from invading monsters" fare. What I do like is the dog companion. An interesting idea. Not sure if the initial set up is motivating enough for me to continue playing from the first 30 minutes. It will stay on my hard disc however.

It plays just like the original. Only, I was never a fan of carbon copies of the old classics, especially if we have available emulators that play them perfectly. I hope the developer had the original source.

Witchcraft Adventure is a wonderful dungeon crawler that combines two game modes, the classic Dungeon Master first-person view, and a top-down view mode where you continue playing the game after you die (but can also revive yourself).
The game beautifully combines these two modes and results in superb gameplay experience.
Excellent old-school graphics.
Programmed in the language I use, so was lucky to be introduced to it like that.

Man, I love this. Never got used to post Quake FPSs, while Wolfenstein was too cartoonish to me. So anything Doom-like is pure gold too me. So old-school, but still intense. Now let me try finish the first level again. 
Edit: Done! On with it!
