No Pineapple Left Behind is a comical and satirical look at how schools function in the US through the lens of a strategy game. The mechanics are easy to understand for players who don't play a lot of strategy games, but substantial enough to stay interesting. The controls are simple, the visuals are pleasing, and the audio fits the mood well, too. I recommend giving it a shot if you enjoy dark humor, manipulating digital pineapples or children, and underpaying employees to improve your bottom line.

Axiom Verge is a very polished and well-made game. It draws inspiration from the Metroid series but does enough different to keep itself interesting. I highly recommend it!

Pros:

• The art, audio, and gameplay are all excellent.
  
• Lots of different weapons with unique functions.
  
• Good length (took me about 11 hours to complete), not including speedrun options

Cons:

• Secret areas can feel too hidden at times, forcing you to drill on every wall tile looking for breakable blocks.
  
• The weapons feel optional and like they're placed in random locations; obtaining one doesn't feel like a special event.
  
• The teleporting controls can be annoying. Slightly moving the joystick sometimes sends you in unintended directions.

This game is great! If you love classic platformers like Mega Man and roguelikes like Binding of Isaac you'll definitely enjoy this game. The controls are tight, the music is fantastic, and the gameplay is addicting.
