Osteya

In Brief

Osteya is a 2D pixel art platformer from the publisher 'Volens Nolens Games' and kindly given away for free today via Falcoware games..

You can Steam community reviews of the game HERE and a few game play videos of Osteya HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE

Unfortunately I've got a really important meeting with the builder that ripped me off several years ago (for a considerable amount of money). He is visiting later this afternoon with his legal team to look at the work (and lack of) that we are suing him for. I need time to prepare for his visit so won't have time to post a full review today. My recommendation; if you enjoy platformers that aren't too hard, then this is worth downloading. :)

I've only had a short time to check this game out. Overall it seems a reasonable and easy to medium difficulty platformer with 40 levels to work through. I've included several images below that list the various key bindings you'll need to play the game .

Useful links to other free games. :) :) :)
The latest game from Epic Games changes is Season 2 of 3 out of 10 - (Caffeinated super-powers, sentient AIs, and rival game studios all stand in the way of Shovelworks studios as they struggle to finally make a game that scores better than “3 out of 10”. Will this be the Season that they finally do it?), with three more games to be added this week; i.e. Deponia: The Complete Journey, Ken Follett's The Pillars of the Earth and The First Tree.

Please see Delenn's threads for Steam and Non Steam freebies HERE and HERE respectively. It’s worth adding these to your favourites and checking regularly for available freebies. Most are only free for a specific time. If you miss the deadline you’ll miss out. Once added to your account, each game is yours to keep.

Notes on Security

I scanned a zipped copy of the installed game and it found zero hits from 60 antimalware engines. The downloaded executable may include some low level adware that only opens your browser to Falcowares home page after the game has installed, but does not inject any malware into your system. When your browser is opened to Falcowares home page it earns them some money, part of which is given to the developer of the game for allowing the game to be given away free. You can see the results of the scan via the following link:
