"Hatoful Boyfriend (2014)" welcomes players into the utterly unique world of St. PigeoNation’s Institute, an elite high school exclusively for talented birds, where you are the sole human student. As a sophomore, your primary goal is to navigate the feathered social scene and find love amidst a diverse cast of avian suitors – ranging from narcoleptic school instructors to tough pigeon biker gangs. This delightful remake of Hato Moa’s cult-favorite avian dating sim enhances the original with a brand-new scenario and ending, alongside intertwining narratives, hidden stories, and surprise paramours that ensure extensive replayability. While charming your chosen bird with "sensual birdfeed" like Calm Corn or Bitter Black Beans, you'll also manage your character's stats through elective classes, as St. PigeoNation’s holds dark secrets and unexpected twists that can lead to anything from true love to grim conspiracies and even murder. Hatoful Boyfriend (2014) earns its spot among Mediatonic's best by perfectly demonstrating the developer's impressive versatility and their talent for crafting unexpectedly charming and high-quality gaming experiences. Though Mediatonic is widely recognized for *Fall Guys*, their work on this cult classic remake showcased their ability to skillfully adapt and enhance a niche Japanese visual novel, translating Hato Moa's original vision into a polished, engaging, and accessible title for a broader Western audience. The 2014 version, developed by Mediatonic, not only faithfully preserved the game's distinct blend of whimsical humor, genuine romance, and surprisingly dark, genre-bending sci-fi elements but also added new content and improved overall player experience, solidifying their reputation for delivering unique and captivating games beyond their more mainstream hits.

Set entirely on the elaborate spectacle of a theatre stage, the game cleverly prioritizes "performance over pummeling," encouraging players to electrify the audience with stylish takedowns, reversals, and devastating linked attacks. Players relive the most spectacular moments of the Baron’s life across 22 incredible acts, battling over 50 hideous enemies drawn from his recollections, from the deserts of Cairo to the depths of Atlantis.

"Who's That Flying?!" casts players as the "Guardian of Earth," a powerful hero famed for their HYPER-POWERED LASER ARM and a knack for keeping the planet safe – and impressing the ladies. This self-assured protector, however, finds their reputation (and Earth itself) in peril when a devastating invasion of Doom Beasts strikes, embarrassingly coinciding with a magazine photo-shoot. With their awesome talent and flair, players must now defend cities from ravenous hordes, battling through 15 story mode levels featuring 11 enemy types and 5 gigantic boss battles. Beyond the immediate threat, you'll also have to clear your name against accusations of gross incompetence from the Galactic Council of Justice, all while uncovering the true mastermind behind the attacks. The game offers extensive replayability with 4 Infinite Mode and 24 Challenge Mode Stages, alongside unlockable content like 14 Bonus Magazine articles, 12 Glittering Awards, dramatic courtroom cutscenes, and full Steam Achievements and Leaderboards. "Who's That Flying?!" earns its place among Mediatonic's best thanks to its quintessential blend of quirky humor, accessible yet engaging gameplay, and inventive genre-bending. Released in 2011, it perfectly exemplifies the studio's knack for taking a familiar concept – in this case, a side-scrolling shooter and tower defense hybrid – and infusing it with their distinctive charm and originality. The game's premise, with a narcissistic superhero facing both alien invasion and a galactic lawsuit due to their own incompetence, is classic Mediatonic wit, delivering laughs alongside intense action. Its vibrant art style, combined with addictive arcade-style gameplay across diverse modes and a wealth of unlockable content, showcases the meticulous design and replayability that defined many of Mediatonic's pre-Fall Guys successes. It stands as a testament to their consistent ability to deliver memorable, unique, and highly entertaining experiences that punch well above their weight.
