Hi all!

Our game is called TERROR SQUID. We'd love for you to roast it! :-D

The game is a bullet hell that turns the genre conventions on its head. Instead of reacting to tightly choreographed bullets patterns created by the developers, TERROR SQUID puts the player in the role of the choreographer. Think fast and strategically, and make your own bullet hell.

In advance, thanks for any feedback!

Is it about a squid that runs a terrorist organization?

So it's about dancing around and trying not to trip over the bullet hell patterns you create for yourself? I feel like a name related to dancing or tripping would be more descriptive. Or maybe if the capsule image shows a squid in ballet shoes.

We've created a lore about cult following, religious beliefs and cosmic horror. This is reflected in a teaser video we're making, graphic symbols in the design, voice overs played during the game, naming of the beta versions and pretty much everything we do with the game. Ballet shoes and dancing is quite far from what we're making.

Thanks for taking the time! :D

Its called "Upload_Soul"

Hi everyone,

I'm not a native English speaker, so I really want to know how you think of the name " Floody". This is a party game for 2 to 4 players. You can build platforms, shoot others etc. Who touches the flood will lose the game. The last player wins. I made this name from a children song(

). Hope this game could remind the players some happy memory they had when they were children.

Terror Squid makes me think it's about a giant squid going on a bloody rampage - would totally play that!

Upload Soul sounds interesting! Evokes cyberpunk. Hope its without the "_" tho, that might give it a too nerdy feeling?

Floody seems legit, but I am not a native speaker. :)) Otherwise it feels right for a chilled-out and colourful game.

Hey there!
My game's name is Fuchsia. It (at first glance, at least) is about a machine that runs on a strange concoction of psychedelic flowers.

Our small team is working on 'Simpocalypse' – a post-apocalyptic civilization simulator game

Would love to hear what you think of the game's name? Feel free to roast it!  Grin



We do currently think of expanding the game's name before Beta – so users on Steam can find it easier, and so that they immediately know what the game is about.

Hi,
I don't have a name yet (but some candidates), so ...



It's a motocross racing game with loot (gear), physics puzzles (they are optional) and some unusual mechanics.
USPs should be that it is a mix of exploration, racing and some optional puzzles along the way. In the tutorial you will get a glider. So the player will be airborne quite often.

If you want to see it moving here are some gifs (heavily compressed):


I will link the other gifs (better quality) to save bandwidth.
Cave https://sbr2.kamgam.com/perma/gifs/tutorial-cave.gif
Glider https://sbr2.kamgam.com/perma/gifs/glider.gif

Name ideas which I had (maybe these will spark new ideas, my favourites are first):
airborne motocross
take wing motocross
spring bike ("Spring Break", "Spring colors and emotions", "Spring like in jumping")
wingnut motocross (Wingnut as in a person with big ears - I am not a native speaker. Is this funny, offensive or just bad?)
wing-mounted motocross / Wing Mount Motocross
jump a Motocross (pun like "jump-a-cross", badum tss, meh)
rise Up Motocross (lots of games are called "rise up" already)
skim (too short and also no relation to the game content)
wing rider (lots of other games with this name)
glide cross
on the wing
soar
wind-borne / windborne (don't think that's a good idea right now)
race wing / Wing Race (lost of other games)
ultralight (can it get any more generic?)
Sail in the Sky
ride the sky
roam Racing
ravine Racing (lots of ravines in the game)
peak motocross

Shrug

Thank you for reading it all. As a reward (and if you feel adventurous) here is a link to the .apk file to install via sideloading on your android device. I will make a feedback thread with an .exe soon.

Thanks Gomez

It was originally "Meet the Bad Guys", but i changed it to Unidentified 1942 since story includes Nazis, US secret special forces, UFO:s captured by Nazis, aliens (main theme) and i did not forget zombies and prototypical weapons from nazi superhuman program. Technology from aliens and one crashed UFO.

So, Unidentified 1942.

The name of my game is Basilisk. The word has been around for a while - there is even a Basilisk Games company - and it has been popularised with Harry Potter. However, to date, there hasn't been a game called Basilisk. Now there is: https://basilisk.net.

A basilisk is a type of snake or serpent and the game is a sort of modern snakes and ladders, except that there are only snakes! The word basilisk is also associated with the city of Basel in Switzerland, a city I have many associations with - my youngest daughter was born there - so it is personal too.

Game instructions are on the landing page, alongside the game itself, or are available by hitting the '?' button in the game console.

Mind you that I'm an amateur, I just often sound like I know what I'm talking about.
So lets get to roasting. :D

Agents x Monsters - Good name because player knows what to expect! It is not a great name though, for that it lacks some "spunk" or smthng. But that is hard to add without knowing more about the game.

Unrealcraft - Did you name it like this because its a Minecraft in Unreal engine? While it doesn't sound bad, you must realize that this is a lazy name. The only thing in it thats about the game itself is the "craft" part, and you basically expect the player to assume that you mean "minecraft". All names should also answer the question "what makes me different" - and you picked the engine as the answer, not a gameplay mechanic or anything! My point is: If there is anything about the game that makes it different from Minecraft, aside the engine, frameworks, libraries and tools used to make it, you should definitely use it in the name, because right now your name is basically sayin only "Minecraft shiny", which is not a good advertisement for your game. Wink

Fuchsia - how you describe the game, I wouldnt guess that, maybe because I dont know (or dont remember) what Fuchsia means. :p Edit: Oh its a flower. Ok most ppl could know that I guess. xD But if its actually about machines and psychedelic stuff, maybe make that clearer? (some ideas: "Flowers and dreams", "Digital Ecstasy", "My life with Fuchsia" xD ...none is the right for you probably, its just to give you a gist)

HANDMADEDEATHLABYRINTH - if it was alone like this, i would absolutely love it (it definitely has its originality), i dont really get the "issue 0" thing tho, seems unnecessary to me to add that to the game name (unless its "important").

Simpocalypse - Eeeeee this doesn't sound right , sorry. I know there's "apocalypse" in there, and probably a "simulation"... or a sim city / the sims reference... but put together like this, it actually feels like you combined "apocalypse" with "SIMPO", which... doesnt mean anything I think. xD That's just how it sounds to me. If the game is about simulating (or may I dare to say creating) apocalypse, maybe call it something like "1-2-3 Ragnarok". Doesn't need to be "funny" nor "serious", my point is "try not to confuse the potential player". Tongue

Airborne Motocross - sounds fine to me, although I would personally go with something "lighter" and with more "fun" in it, like the Spring Bike (which I like but I dont know if everyone would :D).

Unidentified 1942 - now don't take my opinions too seriously, but to me this is not a good name: the "unidentified" doesnt roll off the tounge at all and the search engines will probably mostly disregard/misunderstand it (kinda like the human mind in this case), so what you're left with as the real name is just the "1942", which is... well, isnt there like a million of games like that out there already? I know you tried to imply the UFO with "Unidentified", but I really dont think thats enough.
I actually liked "Meet the Bad Guys" more, but I do get why it's not ideal. Still, unless you want your game to take itself very seriously, I would just drop the "1942" thing and go for something "wilder", like "Nazis, Aliens, and Me". :p (or even "Aliens, HITLER, and me" - hitler is a juicy name that brings more attention than plain nazis Grin btw if u need a movie to watch, check out Jojo Rabbit)

Basilisk - is a decent name for something that looks like a snake. Grin Although more fantasy-oriented players might expect more from the game. Also the name is rather serious, it doesnt say "its a fun game for chillin" ("basilisk", as a word, unlike "snake", implies something huge), which is what you might want to be saying here. I admit I barely tried out the game but I'd name it more in a direction of "I'll eat you first" than "Snake(not)". Wink

Thank you for your feedback. "Spring Bike" was my attempt to base the name of a pun of "Spring Break", which people tend to like. But I then decided it's too far fetched :-)

A comment on your "hitler" recommendation for the Unidentified 1942. One might run into trouble in german speaking countries, especially if used with nazis. It has a bad connotation there. There was a movie with nazis from the moon called "Iron Sky". Maybe a variation of that could be interesting.
