About This Game

Over 13 years, and over 130 games. All made by one hobbyist-turned-full-time developer. And now, for the first time, available in one cohesive package in the form of NAL Is Alive!

NAL Is Alive is a compendium containing everything by NAL, released under the NALGames pseudonym between 2003 and today, wrapped up in a launcher that also universally tracks your statistics and highscores for each game*, the latter being compared against the world in Steam-exclusive online leaderboards*.

Containing the good - Maddening Relapse 2! Hi Me Ro Me! Innoquous 4! Ne Touchez Pas! Prisnhax! Frankenfirearm! Lab Wagon!

And the bad - Aardvark Cwm! Gemocide! Clickfire!

...and almost everything inbetween! Ever wanted to work it on a pogo stick? SohoPogoHo hears you! Fancy going around peeing on people? Signal Failure! You can assume the role of a redhead killing your opposers of the world in Infidels, or become a little robot fixing the big robot it resides in with Titan Tighten.

Need a rhythm game fix while also improving your touch typing proficiency? Bullet Hills sees you typing to the music! Need a music game that has instead has no rhythm? Melodika gets you to suck a stream of icons into a recepticle to any track of your choosing! Need to inject yourself to help forget the nightmarous legion of female stalkers planning on kissing you to death? Yeah, that's in here too with Overly Attracted Stalkers. So's the one where you're a dog in a ball unloading clips of everything from water pistols to rocket shotguns at mutant bags of blood - Lyssandra and the Amplegores. And the one where you get to play an interactive advert for a fictional Japanese dish cleaner while a man touts its superior viscosity to you, Japanese Infomercial.

All of these and more, being taken through an ongoing process to bring them up to spec* - dropping the MIDI music from the really old stuff in favour of more listenable MP3s, knocking every game's resolution and FPS up to 1080p/60 (potentially again up to 4K in the future), improving their gameplay and their graphics, adding the aforementioned Steam leaderboards... you name it.

It's presented in a somewhat light-hearted way, and many of the games are pretty silly, but this pack truly does represent a huge chunk of my life - everything I made independently from being an 11 year old kid that had to download Game Maker 5.0 onto a school computer and bring it home on 3.5" floppy discs thanks to the speed of my home internet, to a currently 25 year old making games and other stuff full-time.

*Please note: not all games will support the update features during NAL Is Alive's Early Access development. As of writing, approx 80 games contain Steam Leaderboards, and approx 40 are completely upscaled to 1080p/60.

Collection of 130+ games made by a single guy over the course of 13 years. It's not a bad idea to put your works together into a comprehensive package and considering you only pay a euro for all of this, it's also a good bargain. Just keep in mind that none of the games are exactly of the best quality and usually take only a few minutes to beat.

Well, what can i say about this? I have waited for this game a long time and now it`s finally released! Is the game worth its money or not? I`m kinda in ambivalent moods right now... i don`t regret buying this game. Well, it`s technically not one game, but a whole game collection with an enormous amount of games. Here`s the point: Some of these games are really good, but some aren`t (at least in my opinion). Some games are incredibly boring and not fun at all and that`s really unfortunate. On the contrary there are many really great games which i really enjoy, but those are not the majority right now. Even so I do reccommend this game for players who want a challenge in different minigames and try various mechanics. For those i`d definitely reccommend this game. The achievement challenges are incredibly good and it`s fun to reach those achievement limits. The enormous amount of games justifies the price of 15 euros, but in the current state (21.12.2016) i`d reccommend you to buy this ...

At the moment, I don´t feel this game is worth it, unless you get it on sale. The Games I felt were a little more than time wasters are; -Ne Touchez Pas 3 -Seventy Two Outrageous People -Rockit -Infidels -La Rollaux -1n23g4r -Lab Wagon -Four Versus the world -Soundproof cell To make this game worth it the creator should add some story, select a few games chronologically and commentate over them. How he/she/else thought when making those games, just something to make this more enjoyable. Try to interact more with the player. That is why we want to sit through walking simulators. And many of these games weren´t that impressive, although some were creative and kind of interesting, it still felt a little bit like a walking simulator, but without a story. So please add some commentary. Most of the games were meh and it kind of frustated me because I played this in two sittings. Perhaps it´s more enjoyable to play one game at a time and take breaks in between. So it might not be the d...

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could pla...

My gambling addict friend said if I post a review on NAL Is Alive and it gets 350 likes and 150 Awards that he will buy me a case of beer and some vodka . So I'm just gonna leave this here.

This "game" has 130 games and most are quote similar to each others. But it's super low price, is not bad. It has many "brainrotting" time killing games. For achievements hunters, who likes to get 100% I cant recommend this game, since achievements are buggy. They are not broken, but buggy and you need to try several time and have lotsa lucks to get them.

This is a super impressive lineup of games by just one person. A lot of them aren't great, sure, but there are definitely a good number of gems in there. 130 games over 13 years is insane, and there is a ton of creativity in here.
