Spin the World

In Brief
Spin the World is a side scrolling action adventure platformer. You can see a video of game play HERE

The Game
Spin the World is a reasonable not too challenging 2D action platformer. Get to the end of the level picking up extra ammo and weapons, kill all the monsters and avoid the spikes and pits. You get four lives; if you lose them all you'll have to start from the beginning again. There are save points in each level, so that if you die and still have some lives left you go back to the last save point. If you leave the game before finishing a level when you return you can choose to return to the last save point or start a new game. Starting a new game will wipe any progress you have made.

This reminds me of platformers from 15-20 years ago, with a retro feel to it. It's quite forgiving when jumping from one platform to the other, which makes this an ideal game for those not as familiar with or find platformers hard to beat. If you are low on ammo, there are plenty of marked crates (with the letter A) that contain extra ammo. You will need at least one bullet to break open a crate.

Overall a reasonable platformer for novice players.

Other Free Games
The latest game from Epic called The Lion's Song a narrative adventure game is now live HERE . Tomorrow's game hasn't been announced yet.

Please see Delenns threads for Steam and Non Steam freebies HERE and HERE respectively. It’s worth adding these to your favorites 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, it’s yours to keep. Delenn has recently posted details of three Steam games that are temporarily free. One may be until it leaves early access??? - i.e. Tower Ball - Incremental Tower Defense plus are Keyboard Killers still free but Galaxium a Space Invader game and Dream Machine: Chapter 1 & 2 were just removed at 6pm UK time today.

You'll find hundreds of freeware games of all arcade and indie genres on Itch.io and Caimans Games as well as other sources. Please do check out the game discussion forums for older posts HERE (the sticky section is useful). Many of the earlier posts may be out of date with respect to the links I and others have provided to the free games; however, you only need to know the name of the game to find most of them via other sources. Many of those games from 2008 to around 2017 were posted as part of a project to supplement the lack of weekday games when the game giveaway went to weekend only games around Easter 2008 (mainly instigated due to the financial crisis of 2008) until November 2018 when Falcoware stepped into the weekday slot; however, from around 2015 onwards we did start to get the occasional Steam key for various games offered as limited giveaways, with a restriction on the number of keys available (anywhere from 25 to 2000+). These included over 60 decent AAA games and indie arcade games ; for example some of the better AAA games included , lucky Warhammer: Vermintide 1 & 2 plus DLC for version 2; Dreadlands, Mount & Blade: Warband, Immortal Unchained and Conan Exiles.

I've not posted details of any Indie Gala freebies since my older computer went on the Fritz back in October last year. Since then Indie Gala have added quite a few more free games, some of which are definitely worth downloading. You can find the latest freebies HERE and their showcase list, which includes all the freebies still current; (many of which have been included for a couple of years now) HERE.

It’s worth adding these links to your favorites 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, they are 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:
