Vizzle
Vizzle is an interesting and unique game with a low initial barrier and manageable learning curve. Highly suggested!

They are puzzles with moving subjects, taken from nature, real movies made in HD video.
Great graphics, there are 9 puzzles to choose from, they are playable several times, because each figure has many levels,
the first are easy, then the pieces increase and you also have to turn them to find the right position.
The playability is excellent, very simple you have to take the pieces that are divided all the same in a square shape and drag them to the right place, as a reference we can use the white border on the pieces this refers to the outer edge.

Slime 64
Slime 64 is a 3D Collectathon Platformer inspired by the 64-bit era!
Play as four uniquely strong elemental Slimes in any order you’d like as they meet each other on their journey and combine their powers to save the world from the diabolical Wurl Tzun and his ever-expanding enterprise. The Geo Keys and Golden Bells will unlock new worlds to explore as you amass your strength in numbers (and your pile of goodies).
Meet the Slimes!
Fly through the air with Winona, zip through water at high speed with Marsh, dash and jump farther and higher with Ash, and build up insane speed rolling around as Tuff. These four slimes hail from all around the world, but through their adventures will meet and fuse, allowing their powers to be used at the same time!
Choose a Visual Style
Some people prefer jaggy edges and scanlines, others prefer crystal clear sight. Play the game with Nostalgia Goggles set to On, HD Remaster, or Blinding!
Adaptive Soundtrack
Catchy tunes inspired by the style and tone of yesteryear combined with some smart programming help capture that classic exploration feel.
All sorts of challenges!
Do you like platforming? How about puzzle solving? Speedrunning? As fans of all of the above, we’re pushing Slime 64 to be the best it can be, and to offer something for everyone.

Stories of Mara
I always have a soft spot for the lore of a well-crafted world, and that is exactly what this game gives you. Summer in Mara (and Deiland for that matter) do a wonderful job of creating rich, heartfelt worlds. As such is the case it can be hard to fit everything into one game, and that is where this game fills in.
A good remimder that we each have our own story and motivations, not just “the blacksmith”
Chibig Studio remains a bit of a hidden gem in the game community. Each release full of heart and genuine care for their community. Stories of Mara is no exception.

Stories of Mara is a short free slice-of life visual novel. Only the first chapter is released for now. This episodic tale presents lots of diverse characters you could see before if you’ve played Summer in Mara. I haven’t. And I’m sure I was missing something but this game may be played separately for sure. As I understood the main chars are missing and we just have the chance to know better some of the side characters. For such a short story the number of chars was really great and the way they looked was quite unique. In general, the game is very bright and kinda relaxing. I’m not a fan of dating sims or mini games. I prefer just to read and make choices, the more the better. But here making different boat models was surprisingly great fun. The very image of MC able to fix anything was rather appealing.

Boinihi: The Ki Codex
This is a remarkable game. I’ve played other Black Cube games so was familiar with a part of the back lore. Boinihi took me a little while to embrace. At first, it felt slow and the interface is a bit awkward at times. I kept wandering in a circle. But, the art is interesting (Asian themes), the voice acting easy to listen to, and the music is a beautiful score by Yazorius. Finally, I effected a change and I became totally captivated. Time stood still for me as I worked through each challenge that was presented and it took me more hours than I like to admit to work through it all.

Another excellent addition to The Black Cube series! This time using a slightly different approach, a hybrid of first person and 3rd person views. A very intriguing story to follow as you discover the mysteries of Boinihi and The K’i Codex. The scifi world is full of beauty and atmosphere with an amazing soundtrack that compliments throughout. Unique cutscenes, fx, and animations help bring life to Boinihi as well as some excellent voice overs. It’s these little details that really help it stand out! And let’s not forget the excellent puzzles which are well integrated and have just the right touch of difficulty, but don’t expect an easy adventure. You will need to think and take notes in order to solve these enigmas. :) Overall, if you are a fan of The Black Cube series and scifi myst-like adventures then you are certainly in for a treat!

Slime’s Journey
Slime’s Journey is a really fun side scrolling game reminiscent of old sega genesis and super nintendo games. You are a young slime orphaned by an evil shaman that has taken your parents and you are the only one able to save them! It’s the first of many slime games I’ve yet to play and it was simple and fun! You get to dress up your slime and find powerups. You have to keep a map in your mind of where you need to back track to once acquiring certain powerups, and it was a little difficult, but I managed it just fine.

Dairy Dave
I really enjoyed my time with this game so far!
I love the art style and animations. The pixel art is simple yet so vibrant and fun to look at.
I really enjoyed the visual feedback from the large milk bottle filling up as you milk the cows to the cow’s heart broken expressions when you miss your chance at milking them.
The short 12 page backstory was quirky and silly, put a smile on my face.
Something about this just gives me nostalgia of playing flash games in my free time as a kid idk
TLDR? Fun and simple little runner, would recommend

I’ve played this for over 10hrs on my phone, I love it! Very simple but there is still alot of subtle things you need to learn if you wanna get a high score (my best is 150k which is currently 3rd).
Probably works better as a mobile game but it’s free and there are no ads or mtx (how did the dev intend to make any money lol?) so there is literally no downside to downloading it. Very polished, no bugs fun game loop. Strong recommend if you like high score games!

Ant Empire
I would absolutely recommend this exceptionally unique and very deep RTS, but be aware that it’s not for everyone and the game still needs some fine tuning.
There are quite a few negative reviews that never game a fair chance, and one that suspected it was a scam because of a major issue preventing some people from playing. I can verify that issue has definitely been resolved - however, there are still some minor bugs/issues.
Get this game if:
-You like well-crafted, deep real-time strategy games that are turn-based.

It’s 2021, I’m riding around on a bug mount I farmed in Classic WoW with the help of some sick bros. I just figure let’s look around for some bug games, stumble upon this beauty. If you enjoy games like Civ, give it a try, plan on staying in my own colony digging to the bottom of this game and a bottle suntory. If you’re a gamer, like me who reads these reviews, you will not be disappoint. Now let me get back to that bottle.
