Blastboard
I’m playing this now with 3 friends and I have to say…I’m very surprised! This is actually a real fun game to play in a group and a great time killer when solo. I run 3 screens and it works fine. More features/DLC would be cool or even Workshop. For the price you can’t lose IMHO.

Oatmeal
I’ve never felt so deeply invested and emotional about a game about oatmeal. This game made me feel triumph and pain, made me hate space and ice, and I’ve also removed all the oatmeal from my house as a result due to the trauma.

Stand by Me is a gem of a game. It’s fun, challenging, and charming as heck. If you like arcadey games with a great soundtrack and addicting mechanics, do not sleep on this one.

Chocolate makes you happy
CMYH is another Physics puzzle in the style of the ZUP series (just saying for reference, ok - I’m not about to get into which came first, the chicken or the egg on this matter LOL).
So anyway, CMYH is innovative and fun and different enough that I feel it deserves a place at the table, too. Most of the levels were on the easier end of the scale, but a few were devilishly difficult, and you WILL NOT find any Guides or Youtube playthroughs to help you, and for me, that made the challenges more rewarding when all 50 levels were completed. CMYH gets a thumbs up. I picked it up during the 2017 Steam Autumn Sale, and feel I got my money’s worth - Cheers

I just finished this game, and I’ve gotta say…
I’m glad I have all of them.
Because just like chocolate,
One just isn’t enough.
The game ran smoothly, the graphics and controls were simple and easy to understand, and the game overall was, dare I say, short and sweet.
I recommend this game to anyone that likes or is looking for simple and sometimes quite challenging puzzles, short games, inexpensive games, sweets in their games, physics games, or games that don’t hold your hand.
I disrecommend this game to anyone that dislikes or can’t stand puzzles, simple games, short games, sweets in their games, physics games, or games that don’t take you step by step through instructions on everything to do.

CubePuzzle
a very interesting game that can keep you busy for long evenings! it strains the brain well to solve problems, I advise you to play alone or with friends. I bought it at a discount and am happy with the game, for such money it is a very cool game

This is quite an interesting game. Many levels, solutions, which makes the game varied and interesting. A good puzzle, something to think about, will stir your brain well, it is always good to do it. I advise everyone to get this game, good luck in solving puzzles.

Chocolate makes you happy 3
Another casual physicsbased puzzlegame that doesn’t require too much effort and is something rather alright to play between larger and longer games.
50 levels with somewhat varying puzzles will keep you busy from half an hour to few hours, however there is a ton of these already and once you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all.
5/10, for those days you just don’t want to think about anything

Chocolate makes you happy 5
fun but not as the same interesting as the Zup games
– Real player with 24.9 hrs in game
These games just keep getting worse, this one starts off with a bunch of the same levels as chocolate makes you happy always start with. Then it introduces the same game-mechanics you also already knew from the other parts in this series and then there are some nearly impossible levels because they require ridiculous timing (which just means a lot of trial and error)
Don’t buy, pls just don’t encourage them to make more of this shit.

Next 4
first of all, i really enjoy to minimalist puzzle games like Oik and Zup!
Then i bought Next 1-2-3-4, i enjoyed that games aswell…
Let me explain why I marked this game as I don’t recommend it.
seriously in this game physics are so inconsistent, i literally stucked 1 hour in a ‘3 clicks level’. lets say you detonate a bomb. the box goes 5 meters ahead but if you try again, the bomb goes 3 meters or 7 meters ahead., its so random…
i was stubborn… finally i have passed level 93.

Amazing concept of the game.
-
Challenging levels.

Lovely achievements.

Deserve buying.

UNTITLED
Fantastic physics based puzzle game. Short-ish but for the price it is worth every penny. Minimalist style makes the mechanics easy to understand, and the ramp in puzzle complexity is perfect. One or two puzzles near the end teetered on being annoying, but nothing impossible, definite buy!

Vive: Great puzzle game where you use both hands to move and throw different colored cubes that each have different physics properties. The goal is usually to get cubes to hit a same-colored area. It’s a lot of fun and makes you think.

Bars and Balance
I just really didn’t care for this game. Mostly, I hated the look of it. I think the pastels are supposed to be soothing but I found them difficult to see. Sometimes the monochromatic pieces are so simlarly colored it can be difficult to discern where one piece ends and the next starts. I also found the background to have a vaguely dystopian-nightmare feel that made me uneasy.
As for gameplay, the idea is interesting but there were times where it was hard to tell what the solution was without trial and error because the pieces simply did not line up where they should based on the angles being displayed. For instance, it might look like one piece is totally on another piece until you change the view and then you relize it’s not aligned and is hanging over the edge. That would be fine if it was part of the challenge but it doesn’t appear to be. Hanging off the edge doesn’t seem to effect the physics at all in some puzzles (I.e. a piece that isn’t aligned correctly over another piece when viewed from multiple angles will still behave as if it is when solving the puzzle). This can make what should be a game based on intuition and logic a little wonky at times, which is not the same as being difficult.

This game is the most fitting example I have found for the idea of “Addition by Subtraction”. Everything centers around the main theme of balancing bars. There is no need for flashy animations or quick-reflex action; the game stands on its own. The atmosphere is nice, and it reminds me of one of my favorite puzzle games, Polarium. I was actually very surprised by some of the solutions I discovered, and even when my ideas failed, I learned the purpose of some of the pieces I original did not think were important. I recommend this game to everyone with patience and a keen eye for what is good. Well done.
