Lylia's Deadline Clearance Thoughts:
Lylia goes full 3D, looking like a Dreamcast game, where the first game looked like something from late Saturn era. Gameplay is mostly the same solid stuff like last time, aside from increased movement options. The dropped frames during the more open camera scenes are solely to blame on OBS, the game runs perfectly at 60 FPS for me.

Xenogunner Returns Thoughts:
An early alpha of a sequel to a Mega Man/Treasure hybrid, which I sadly haven't played yet, as it flew under my radar, but it looks cool.

Strato Freaks 2 Thoughts:
A sequel to a game originally made in 2009 and then finished in 2023, heavily inspired by Fantasy Zone/Defender and instead of a full long run of stages, you instead go stage-by-stage via level select. You have a "resurrection timer", where when it runs out, if you lose all your health, it's game over, but if you want big scores for the stars, you need to loop the stage section a fair bit, building up big combos to then cashout. Not sure if the characters have any perks, seems they are mostly just skins.

Home World Run Thoughts:
A sequel to Aliens Go Home Run, a hybrid of Breakout and Space Invaders goes action-platformer beat 'em up. And if you don't know that game, then maybe you might recognize Skeleton Boomerang, as the artist and musician (+TEK) worked on them. This game looks really nice, beautiful graphics and banging soundtrack. Sadly, I think the demo's bugged on the last fight, as I fought the boss for 10 minutes straight with no visual indicator about being defeated.
