It's finally Friday, time for the weekend! Here are two more platform puzzle games by Hempuli as well as a racing simulation game by Volvo.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bulletsss
Bulletsss is puzzle platformer that uses bullets in interesting ways. It is a sequel of BulletZORZ but I don't recommend the old version because this is such a huge improvement. In this game bullets are quite large and move slowly so you can use them as platforms to reach otherwise inaccessible areas. You can also shoot bullets near a wall/floor to launch yourself a high speeds and break through blocks. Collect all the crystals and reach the goal flag to complete each level. Hard mode places a limit on the amount of bullets you have to the minimum amount necessary to complete each level.
Bullets is a sequel to BulletZORZ, and it keeps the main idea of the game but adds in some new features. In case you haven't played the prequel, Bulletsss is a puzzle platformer where bullets have an important role. The game has all the gameplay-related information in it, so you shouldn't have to take a look at the readme this time! Smirk from Modarchive composed the music, which is called 'sinetech'.

GENERIC
This game is a generic platformer. Collect the items and touch the goal flag to complete each level. You also have a laser gun to shoot enemies. Aside from that there's really not much to say, well except for the interesting twist... :)
GENERIC is yet another platformer with an interesting twist! There isn't much more to say about this, since, as you know, twists are best to be seen by yourselves! Use WSAD to move and mouse to aim.

Volvo - The Game
Volvo - The Game was created as a showcase for the Volvo S60 Concept car. It was created by SimBin, the makers of the GTR series of racing simulation games. The game comes with 7 cars (the S60 concept has a normal and a race version) and 2 tracks. The S60 concept is of course really fast and easy to handle. I really like the Chayaka track; it has nice wide roads and plenty of straight-aways. The Gothenburg track is much harder with narrow roads and sharp corners. Because this is a simulation the cars handle as you expect in the real world. Also, don't expect to be able to take shortcuts without being disqualified. Great game if you like simulations.
The racing game announced in April by Volvo Cars and game development company SimBin can be played with five racing legends in addition to the new Volvo S60 Concept. They are Volvo models that many people will remember from the STCC and BTCC racing series.
Players will be able to choose between the Volvo C30 which is competing in this year's STCC ( Swedish Touring Car Championship), the STCC Volvo S60 that participated a few years ago, the Volvo S40 that participated with notable success in the BTCC (the British Touring Car Championship) the Volvo 850, the estate car that became a legend in the BTCC, and finally a true racing classic, the iconic Volvo 240 Turbo Group A.
There is a choice of two tracks: Gothenburg Eco Drive Arena in Göteborg, Sweden, and Chayaka outside Kiev in the Ukraine. Volvo - The Game is the only virtual racing game in the world to include this Ukrainian track.
The game offers a choice of skill levels: "novice with all the driver assistance technology activated such as ABS brakes, "semi-pro", and finally "pro" where there is no assistance whatsoever.
