It’s a good game, but could use some improvements.

Hoa
GRAPHICS / AESTHETIC : 20/10
PLAYTIME (2-5 hours ): 4/10
MUSIC : 20/10
STORY: 6.5/10
GAMEPLAY: 4/10
PRICE: 10/10
(I know it might seem like a high price for a short game but you need to remember that this is an indie studio and I believe the price reflects the healthy payment the artists would receive for the time they spent pouring love and detail into every crevice)
should you get this game? YES! I think everyone should experience a game of this beauty. But if you’re someone who strictly wants to get a new game for the game elements, this might not be for you, if you like the aestheic and are okay playing something for the story and experience then definitely get this game!!

Summary:
Hoa is a game where spectical and whismy take the forefront of the experience: and if those things don’t matter to you, then it’s probably not a game for you. It’s not trying to be an interesting platformer in any sort of way. Sure, the mechanics here work and the controls are responsive enough, but many of the elements act as a minor challenge at best despite some puzzling have to be done. But that’s not what the game is trying to really test: it’s taking you on an adventure for you to get lost in the beautiful visuals, the environment that tells a story in each area, and the ultimately uplifting story that will make you feel your troubles melt away for that day.

NENA
Looks can be deceiving. Before I even say anything about the gameplay, Nena has the best ending I ever experienced in a video game (it’s that special), make sure to watch the credits all the way, and please don’t spoil it for others. The puzzle mechanics are very good, you can take control of the enemies and objects, and even redirect the projectiles in mid-air which creates some very creative gameplay. I also really enjoyed the narrative, I only wish it had more exploration because the way you can interact with the world is so fun. It’s not very long, only about 60 minutes if you not grinding the achievements. I could go on and talk more about the game, but if you play it all the way, I think you will realize that making the game was probably not the most important thing ;). My heart… Just awwwwwwwwwwwww

One of the cutest games EVER! 3
Best ending EVER, like American Beetle said!!! I simply had to play this through instantly because of their glowing review!
I recommend playing this with the controller, like the game says; because I think one would have some difficulty playing otherwise, since aiming and moving is important.
I found that the game has just the right difficulty! Was super fun to go about the puzzles and enemies! Plus, the dialog is so charming and lovely 3

Raji: An Ancient Epic
Glossary:
Asuras – Half Brothers of the Hindu Gods but bascially Demons
Devas – the Hindu Gods.
Once in a while, an uncut gem arrives in the gaming market. You see this game on the Steam Store, and you’re amazed. It’s dazzling splendour, it’s the fantastic art design and its engaging story. Then you realise that this uncut gem remains an uncut gem because it has more potential. It has so much potential that if expanded with DLCs and free updates, this game can become even greater. The main strength of this game is a strong story and a solid artistic design. Its puzzles are fun, but they can be complex for a beginner at first. I failed many times having to defeat multiple bosses and it was frustrating, to say the least. Many moments kept me scratching my head on how to defeat the Asuras.

A Day
The first 1-2 hours I thought the game was absolutely brilliant. Not paying attention to the description of the game on the store page that mentioned you’re going for a high score, I kept thinking I was unravelling a puzzle that had a bunch of pieces that needed to be put together to have a grand finale of a story. There is an absolute gem of an idea for a game here but I think having simply made it high score driven instead of more narrative focused is a huge missed opportunity. I loved and hated this one. Loved the concept, hated the fact that after 3 hours I felt empty knowing that I was just going for points instead of something bigger.

‘‘Sonder: the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own’’.
That’s how A Day makes me feel.
The game is short and beautifully crafted, you play a different cast of characters each with their abilities, goals, and needs, over the course of a day
the Goal of the game is slowly stitching the fate of every character in a way that in the end, they can help each other.

Short adventure about healing people’s inner worlds from corruption
You play as Azure the frog healer in the village floating on the sky. The lands of people’s inner world’s have been corrupted by dark-ooze and the only way to stop it from spreading all over the environment is by cleaning it. The corruption may spawn vile creatures, who spread the corruption further. Use your trusty cleangun to shoot foam that corrodes the vile spread and the hydration spell slab for rejuvenating the lands. It is your duty to heal the villagers, will you help?
It is up to you to clean the spreading vile corruption, so pick up your cleangun and start blasting!
Each area’s corruption is unique in some way and as the corruption mutates, don’t be frightened though as your array of tools will also upgrade along the way.
After getting the corruption cleaned the lands are dry and lifeless, that’s there the hydration spell slab comes in.
Use the hydration spell to breath new life into the lands like a painter with a blank canvas, the environment will thank you!
You live in a small village on a floating island somewhere high above the clouds, oddly enough you or the other villages don’t know how you and the others got there in the first place.
The village is cozy and peaceful, away from problems of the other worlds and a home for you and others. You’ll also have your own house to decorate and furnish to your liking, pick up those hydration crystals to buy some furniture!
Aruna
Do not buy this game. There are better flash player games out there. Simplistic platformer that has very little in terms of everything. The game looked totally different when first uploaded to steam by the way.

This game is simply brilliant !
It’s designed around puzzles you need to solve in order to exit each level. First ones are very easy, which kept me satisfied enough to continue and try to crack those puzzles as fast as i can. But i have to admit, last ones are super tricky and took me a lot of thinking to crack. I’m amazed by the progressive difficulty of the game, as you go deeper and deeper into those caves. Something which is indeed not easy to balance. Thankfully, the developper had the smart idea to add one element at each level to complicate the puzzles and thus, making them each time more thrillng to solve. Furthermore, they sometimes have a known mechanic you experiment in a previous solved one (to keep confidence), and a new mechanic, which forced me sometimes to change the way i think in order to crack it properly.

Edit to review: Absolutely amazing game it took me forever to figure out some of the puzzles so hopefully my play through will be helpful! This game requires you to constantly think outside of the box to solve puzzles especially in the later floors with a ton of neat mechanics which makes it challenging but super rewarding as you progress. The music in the game is chill and the environment looks really nice and mellow as well that gives you a peaceful feeling as you want to destroy your computer as you stretch your brain to the limits trying to progress. The creator of this game made this in a year by himself! which I can’t even fathom the amount of work it took to come up with those puzzles, mechanics, and make them all work together. The story is interesting and well thought out also you learn about two races and a cycle of rebirth which makes you want to continue to progress as well! Definitely recommend this game and if you get stuck check my walk through for some help ^_^

It’s a very short game, but the dialogue in this game made me wish it was longer. Genuinely funny and enjoyable experience.
