60 Seconds! vs Merek's Market
60 Seconds!
60 Seconds! is a game that offers a fun satirical take on the far-too-unrealistic post-apocalypse survival management genre by making it as hilarious as possible. In this game, you will play as Ted, an average suburban family guy who has just a single minute to dash through his home to pick up as much stuff as he can, including his family members, before diving into the underground bunker he has built in his house. From there, you'll then need to help him and his family survive the day-to-day by making difficult decisions like who to send out to scavenge food, and who should get the most rations. Of course, there's the mutant cockroach infestation that you'll have to deal with...If you love dark comedy and post-apocalyptic games, 60 Seconds! is definitely a game you'll want to play. It's as funny as it is challenging.
Merek's Market
Merek's Market is a whimsical shop simulation game with time management elements, putting you into the running shoes of a shopkeeper in a medieval fantasy period where adventurers are aplenty. Craft and sell a huge variety of useful items, be it armor, weapons, potions, or even… pottery, serve your customers as quickly as possible, and try to upsell your items whenever they decide to haggle!As you play, the levels get increasingly more difficult, making that shiny gold rating a real achievement to get. The game also comes with a host of twists to its gameplay, spicing up the typical time management levels with mini-games and funny dialogues.
If you’re a fan of time management games, Merek’s Market offers the kind of gameplay you seek with a couple of nice twists, slathered with enough tongue-in-cheek humor to make you bark out a laugh once or twice on every level. Although I’ve not tried the game’s co-op, its single-player mode is already very entertaining to play, and challenging too, if you’re aiming for that shiny gold rating. Highly recommended!
