As a fan of the Tao Te Ching, I picked this game up on a whim shortly after release.

It appears simple but has challenged my patience as a Zen koan does to the student.

Choices appear to be mapped as the player walks on the trapezoid block, which denotes a forked path, with what looks like two Asian characters on it. Each character is a set of three horizontal lines be they solid or halved – called “trigrams.” Walking over the forked block, a trigram appears onscreen at right.*

*A web search of ‘trigrams i ching’ yields info on decoding the eight trigrams of the Taoist I Ching and the 64 hexagrams, corresponding to 64 levels in the game. Each hexagram presents a philosophy, to start the level. www -dot- taoistiching -dot- org

Gravity

Gravity

Gravity is a single player first person puzzle game set in the mysterious and futuristic Labyrinth. The player must solve the mystery of who they are and why he is trapped there. To solve the puzzles and survive the player will change the direction of gravity, not merely reversing it, but to any of the six directions. This will move the player as well as objects through space. The puzzles are extremely varied with no two being the same, giving players a constant challenge and perpetual novelty.

Written for 1561’s Thoughts - Honest reviews, for busy people.

The Line is a tricky puzzle game with a Snake-like twist. I ran into a few small bugs that I think will be patched soon, but otherwise the game is a rather fun and unique concept. 6/10

Default Unreal Physics and Assets AKA DUPA Project

Default Unreal Physics and Assets AKA DUPA Project

Simple yet amusing FPP puzzler with physics, unlimited bullets, limited graphics, secret extras, poor puns, lousy jokes and a short lesson of Polish. 20 levels (or more), 10 dictionary pages (unless something changes), several obscure references (some over 50 years old). Never intended to be an overly serious project, started as an attempt to learn basics of Unreal Engine, grew to the point where I wasn’t afraid of showing it to my friends. Don’t expect a ground breaking game and you shall receive.

PRO: I was recommended to play this game from Emika Games and I’m really glad I did, I thoroughly enjoyed it! The puzzles are easy enough to figure out, just make sure you check everywhere. Some of the locations for numbers and notes are cleverly hidden. The jump scares are amazing and quite literally had me screaming like a little girl. LOL Overall the story is easy to figure out if you read the notes!

CON: Really my only complaint with the game is the “Bully” outside the building has severe small PP energy. He chases you non-stop and your only hope to get away is to get in the building. You can not hide from him or distract him. I personally think this would add a good and fair element to the game if you could. The ladders would sometimes bug out and not allow the player to climb up them, which is a problem when you’re trying to escape the “Bully”.

So this game started out slow but quickly picked up speed and became quite enjoyable. The threadbare story isn’t outstanding but I think it’s only there as window dressing. The star of the show here is the sudden scares that lurk around corners and down dark hallways! You Must also has some good puzzles that had me stumped a couple of times and there’s even three possible endings I believe - two of which I managed to get in my two-hour play through. The visuals aren’t anything spectacular but it’s got some good sound design. I didn’t experience any bugs or glitches. For the asking price, I can recommend this one!

Mini Car Money Chase

Mini Car Money Chase

Nice game, with good graphics and gameplay.

It’s simple and fun to play, it’s also quite relaxing (until you have cops showing up from everywhere that is).

Would be even better with more vehicle options (thinking of war tanks) and some sort of boost (nitrous oxide or something) to the cars.

I highly recommend getting this game it is really worth the tiny price no limits on how high you can go with this game :)

RISING BONEvR

RISING BONEvR

The game focuses on physical interaction with the world, and how dynamic everything in it. Most of the tasks can be solved in different ways. E.g: to pass the closed door, you can find a key, or destroy the padlock, or break the window nearby, or find the underpass

Each circle of hell is a level where you need to climb as high as possible at any cost. Haron will take you to next level. If desired, you can find funny or creepy secrets, part of story, or collectible items
