The final Ace of Issue 1 went to Plyuk
retrosouls.itch.io/plyukzx
A 'technical tour de force' according to Jamie, this spectacular platform-puzzler left jaws agape with its looks, and backed it up with a fun self-cloning mechanic and some tricky levels. As Mpk summed up, this was 'a treat, frankly.'

Quadrax, awoken from its 30-year slumber and translated, picked up Ace number 6. Sloany praised the 'really special' animation of the main characters, while Al raved about this 'darn cool unearthed gem'. It's another puzzle game, with a cool tomb-raiding theme.

We stayed in puzzle territory for Ace number 5, the immaculate Skill Team. Jamie praised its polish and modern sensibilities, Mpk called it a 'charming brainscratcher' and Sloany declared it 'an extremely satisfying ride'.

Ace number 4 went to Master Piece, a brain-taxing solitaire chess puzzler.
Sloany admired its 'outright fiendish' levels, while Dave reckoned it was a 'fascinating riff on the 900-year-old boardgame'.

Throbbing Headache DX picked up Ace number 3. This is a tricky single-screen platformer with a unique jumping mechanic. Sloany noted that the levels were 'well designed, with a fiendish, almost sadistic, edge' while Mpk praised it as 'thoroughly fresh'

The second Ace in Issue 1 went to MoonRn, an double-jumping runner-style platformer with atmospheric visuals and cool music. Al called it a 'fun jaunt', while Dave pronounced it a 'quirky, fun, well-made runner game'.

First up was Crazy Burger : our first review and our first Ace.
Jamie led the review of this frantic, high-pressure plate-spinner, preferring it to both recycling and Katy Perry, while Dave called it a ‘triumph for the Menyiques team and Boriel Basic’
