A good variety of easy games this week. Shy Dogs was my favorite, but it’s nice to have a selection from a variety of genres.

Estimated Completion Time: 30 minutes
Publisher: eastasiasoft
Developers: DERIK DF, eastasiasoft
Release Date: June 5, 2024
Xbox Store Links: Xbox
Playstation Store Links: PS4/PS5

Just the one achievement list available on Xbox. The game is release with a TU, so there’s 2,000 Gamerscore up for grabs from the start. On PlayStation there’s the stack available between PS4 and PS5 along with the cross-buy.

Ghost Teen Escape from Limbo offers an enjoyable blend of platforming and puzzle challenges. With 50 stages to explore, players must cleverly exploit their ghostly abilities to progress. Utilize death strategically to navigate obstacles, then resurrect to advance towards the stage exit. Each level presents the task of collecting a key and reaching the exit to complete the levels. The game is easy and provides a fun and quick experience.

Run & Jump Guy (Xbox One, Xbox X|S)

Estimated Completion Time: 30 minutes – 1 hour
Publisher: TERNOX
Developers: Chepurniy Yevgeniy
Release Date: June 5, 2024
Xbox Store Links: Xbox

Run & Jump Guy is only available on Xbox this week. There’s just the one achievement list.

Run & Jump Guy is a bit of a Super Mario Bros. light. It’s a platformer consisting of 3 worlds, but you won’t find Bowser or a princess at the end. There are coin blocks and sometimes these contain power ups, such as fireballs, water bubbles that allow you to jump higher and farther, and a heart container that enables you to take an extra hit. There’s also pipes with piranha plants and pipes that take you to secret areas. To finish it off each level ends with a flag post to jump on.

The game is pretty simple and the levels are quick. It’s a nice quick and easy 1,000 Gamerscore.

Rider’s Spirits (Xbox One, Xbox X|S,PS4, PS5)

Estimated Completion Time: 2-3 hours (Best Guess, will be very skill dependent)
Publisher: Ratalaika Games
Developers: Genki, Masaya, Shinyuden
Release Date: June 7, 2024
Xbox Store Links: Xbox
Playstation Store Links: PS4/PS5

One achievement list available on Xbox. On PlayStation there’s another PS4 and PS5 stack along with the cross-buy option.

Rider’s Spirits is a port of the Super Famicom racing game Bike Daisuki! Hashiriya Kon released in 1994. If Run & Jump Guy is a Super Mario Bros. light, then this game is a Super Mario Kart racer light. As with some of the other Super Famicom game ports this game comes with some special options. You can use a rewind feature to help when you mess up on any track. You also have power ups available in your inventory that can be used. In order to earn all the achievements and trophies you’ll need to finish the 3 Grand Prix racing events. To unlock the harder Grand Prix’s you will need to come first in the lower level Grand Prix. This game may be harder than the other ports, so make ample use of the rewind feature if necessary.

Shy Dogs Hidden Orchestra (Xbox One, Xbox X|S)

Estimated Completion Time: 1-2 hours
Publisher: Lucky Raccoon Games
Developers: Enchant Games
Release Date: June 7, 2024
Xbox Store Links: Xbox

Just the one achievement list on Xbox. Unfortunately there’s no PlayStation release at this time.

Shy Dogs Hidden Orchestra is a super cute hidden object game. Your goal is to find all the dogs hidden throughout the levels. You will also find 3 hidden puzzle pieces in each level. The puzzle pieces unlock clues to find the last hidden dog. You will need to select the correct “found” dogs in order to have the secret dog reveal itself on each level.

I love these hidden object Gamerscore games. They’re a very chill way to pass the time.

Dash & Roll (Xbox One, Xbox X|S, PS4, PS5)

Estimated Completion Time: **not sure at this time
Publisher: EpiXR Games
Developers: EpiXR Games
Release Date: June 7, 2024
Xbox Store Links: Xbox
Playstation Store Links: PS4 (Currently 45% off until June 20th)

Just the one achievement list available on both Xbox and on trophy list on PlayStation.

Dash & Roll is a new game from EpiXr Games. It’s like a giant Labyrinth marble game. You need to roll your marble through all of the levels tilting to the end. You have the ability to jump, dash as well as stop on a dime. Dash into crystals scattered throughout the level to unlock the end gate. This game might potentially be a longer EpiXR game, but as their games are usually easier this one is on the list for the week. In 20 minutes I was able to unlock 300 of the 1,000 Gamerscore. This is definitely a game where you will need to use some patience.
