Attempt[42]
Good concept with bad controls.
First person platform puzzler
In Attempt 42 you have to touch a number of blocks to finish a level. Whenever you are standing on a block, you have the ability to rotate the world over one axis. Basically you’re always jumping or falling from one block to another, especially in the time mode in which you have to finish within a sharp time. The world also turns when you follow a curved platform, or when you approach a block from its side.

A bit like Tetris from within, could be better
The customary unnecessary intro
This game seemed interesting at first, did have steam cards, and well, overall seemed kind of promising. Not sure if I would ever buy it of the shelve thou. To be honest, probably not, but strangely I wouldn’t mind playing the demo of the second version, as the game is promising if things are improved, and the concept of the game is better. Ok, lets get into it.
The Game
The games is a mixture between a puzzle solver and se gravity action game, which very much reminds to games such as Valve’s Portal logic, without the graphics and the budget to do most things else. The game is set out as an First Person Shooter (“FPS”). It took some time before the mouse was configured in a playable manner. The first impression was that it moved a bit slow, and the goal or objective of the game was not immediately obvious, at least to me, but I have been known to take more time to understand this kind of games. I hate tutorials as much as the next guy, but when you are an indie, maybe you make things a bit more user friendly at the start of the game. No, it is not that I haven’t played FPS before -I am totally acquainted with the WASD controls- it is more about not exactly knowing what is to be done at the start of the game. Every game has its learning curve, but some clues, some more context to what is going in in the surroundings or in the game’s universe itself would be of great help, if it’s not too much to ask, that is.

Maximum immersion — music and visuals resonate with your actions

A colorful world — a cycle of day and night, clouds floating across the sky, an endless ocean and vivid effects
-
No pressure — play at your own pace
-
A bit of a mystery — what is this place talking about and what kind of Tower is it?

Transpire
Very simple game that is fun to speedrun. When you get rocket launcher it gets really fast and exciting.

A fun short game to speedrun. You get powerups/abilities as you go through each level, once you have all of them it becomes really fast and fun to navigate around. (Once you get the hang of it).

1984 Rewired
1984 Rewired is a Fun game at a reasonable price. It seems pretty polished, but I have found some visual bugs when playing. Keep in mind at the time of me writing this review it is still in early access. I’ve sunk 3 hours into this game on the first day of buying it before i got burnt out and needed a break. Overall, I would recommend buying it if you are looking for a fast paced high energy game with a unique look. This game is also perfect for speedrunning or to have in the background of a commentary YouTube video.

Good fps platformer with a ton of content.
Worth the 8 bucks for sure, doubly so if you’re a completionist.

Back again
A great and fun platformer with a cool aesthetic, good music and a nice little story packed in voiced by Dexter Manning
Definitely recommend playing it and for its price, it’s a steal!
– Real player with 4.0 hrs in game
Simple visual style, cryptic and creepy narrative, some chill music, and some platforming that, when you get the hang of it, can be cleared easily. The checkpoint system is the real punisher, but are well spaced-out. Give it a go when you can!

Gorge
I’ve really had a lot of fun with this game. It’s free, but it could easily be sold for some money. I think how all of this was made was executed perfectly and I want/ can’t wait to see a speedrun of this game.
– Real player with 18.1 hrs in game
This game is very fun to speedrun, but there are minor physics bugs. Also there is a part right before reservoir where you can clip through the ceiling in a tunnel. It is very fun though and relaxing. The worst part is the game will freeze as it renders in new parts and it screws you so hard when trying to wall run at certain parts because you just fall off.

SEUM: Speedrunners from Hell
I wasn’t aware of SEUM up until I had played its demo (now removed from the Store). In less than one hour, I was completely convinced that this game had immense potential, so I added it to my wishlist and waited for a sale. Six months later, here I am writing a review for it.
SEUM is a first person platformer where you have to complete each level as fast as possible. Featuring a leaderboard system, you can track your times, your friend’s and the worldwide records for every level. The scores are reset on every season, to make sure the top scores are fair without fixed exploits. It is technically an incentive to come back to it once in a while in case being on top is something you love.

This game is a ton of fun. Fast paced, perfect controls, great music, tons of levels, and full of little references. It can be a bit difficult at times, but it rarely ever feels unfair. A couple of time limits feel a little strict, but it’s not too bad. Really, you get a lot of content for the price. And it’s on sale now, so that’s even better.
I’ve only played through about 50 levels, so I see that things are different later on, I will update my review.
The game doesn’t hold your hand, but it also doesn’t hold you back either. You can play the game properly and go through each level as fast as you can. Or you can take your time, and come back later when you are ready for a better time.
