Diamo XL
Diamo XL is yet another fun game from nickervision, definitely worth it
==========
I’ve been looking forward to this game the moment the images used in the description of the steam store page got uploaded on the dev’s account, now the question is: was it worth waiting for?
Positive:
-
the games starts simple and gets progressively harder
-
the main game is really easy to understand, leaving the entire focus game up to you mastering it, which is exactly what this game was striving for
Negative:

Diamo XL is an amazing creation by Nickervision Studios that has kept me enticed for the short period of time that I have owned it, and I presume that it will continue to do so for many more hours to come.
Essentially, Diamo XL is a game in which you try to create the outline of a diamond, moving your ball along the path from line to line. Once you have traced all the outlines you will get more points which are, points. No description needed because I assume that everyone knows what a point is. After you have been moving for a bit, you’ll notice the amount of points you get exponentially increases. This is dependant on the multiplier. You earn a higher multiplier by constantly moving around the diamond and staying alive.

I loved this game when I was offered an early access Steam key by the developer and I think this game is easily worth the price of admission ($5 USD on launch day)…
Here’s a video of “Box: The Game” and my first impressions from back in November of 2018:

My “First Impressions” Scores:
Value: 35/40 - Strong value here for the type and amount of unique puzzles you get to solve.
Fun: 24/30 - The most subjective part of my scoring here, but if you like good puzzle games, you’re sure to agree!

This game’s surprisingly smart and catchy. Impressive how a single mechanic can be so interestings, it’s like a playing a sort of new tetris, one action to perform but to perform it really well or fail and restart. Price is very fair too.
I love when indie games are like this, a small but well implemented clean idea instead of shooting for the stars but with a confused vision of what they want to achieve.
Well done guys!

Bing Bong XL
The game is 80 eurocents or your regional equivalent, point being that it costs nearly nothing, while delivering similar quality Nickervision’s earlier games have.
The game isn’t meant to be much, just a simple score attack game that you might play for a little bit and never touch again. It does this well, and manages to stay fun despite the repetitive gameplay, and I feel like I’ve already gotten my money’s worth at 1,6 hours. In this time, I managed to get almost all the achievements, and I’ll probably play it a bunch more considering the other games Nickervision has made.

This game is fun, with the game mechanics and the music working very well together. It’s easy to find yourself lost trying to keep putting your personal best score. I recommend picking up this game if you like simplistic, minimalist games that challenge you to incrementally improve your read and react response to the game environment.
I’m stealing a conclusion paragraph from user tautegory: “Overall, I would say that Bing Bong is the distillation of the quintessential Nickervision mechanics. Everything works well together and creates a fun time waster. To be honest I was expecting a shallow and empty design like most abstract arcade games on mobile. I was pleasantly surprised and glad I picked up these games.”

NeoBalls
You get what you paid for, 2K achievements at minimum price. If you’re an achievement hunter looking to increase the number of achievements on your profile showcase, then I highly recommend buying this. Else don’t waste your money. This is not a game, it’s just a way of distributing achievements.

If you are tired and have a bad mood, forget about everything, turn on the brain and play. This game is for you! Destroy the cubes with the help of the neoshar. Throw the ball right at the target and score points. Put your record!

Core Defense
Very well-designed Tower Defense game that also incorporates active elements (abilities which you can “cast” after a cooldown) and a random reward mechanism (“choose 1 out of 3”) after each wave of enemies.
This means that all upgrades and additional abilities/towers are basically randomized but you get to choose one out of a random selection (which still allows for a lot of choice), and the randomness is also tailored to what you already have,
so there won’t ever be a completely useless upgrade up for selection.

So adding a review after testing a bit of the new DLC.
The game is difficult, punishes small mistakes immediately and is addictive to a point. The amount of hours I have despite the lack of content beyond “now do it again but slightly harder” speaks to how quick it is to fire up a new game and carry on.
Prior to the DLC an update added a feature I’d been looking for to speed up to 5x so I could quickly go through waves where I don’t have to take an active part, but along with this patch the game has started to run very slowly. Not something I’d expect from something that looks like a decade old flash game.

Protect Your Fool
Good game, smart design. tests the player’s speed.
There are times when on the screen there are many objects, challenging.
Possibly it would be a fun game in VR.
On mobile it would be faster and more practical to click on objects on the screen.
Enjoy.

Aquarium Simulator
To call this an “aquarium simulator” is a gross overstatement. If anything, a screensaver simulator, perhaps?
There is little (alright, close to nothing) to actually do and whatever you do has no effect at all. If you don’t “feed” your “fish” (which resemble more a poor cartoon approximation, even in cartoonish style), nothing happens. If you pack 500 fish in the tank, same as if there were 2, except you get more eggs, which you then have to click one by one to harvest (I’ve garnered around 400 in one sitting after two hours with the game closed), which gives you more money… with which you can buy, well nothing much really. Just more of the same fish approximation.

This game, this damn game. It broke me. I never ever thought I would find the perfect game, but here it is, I have found the diamond in the rough. For such an amazing, powerful, impactful, experience, it’s too cheap. In my opinion, this piece of art is way too cheap.
If I had known that Aquarium Simulator would have been this amazing, I would have demanded they raise the price for me.
My life has peaked, I have experienced many amazing things, nothing as powerful and divine as this creation.
I have no complaints, I have no problems, After such an experience, my life is complete. Thank you BJgamesIND, thank you for creating such a master piece, thank you for the graphics, thank you for the time. thank you.

reky
Very challenging, but fun! Minimal in its conception with use of color to contribute interest. Unique use of cubes in ways to motivate one to seek the solution, but forgiving in its offerings of undo the previous move or restart the puzzle. Refreshingly creative!!

Beyondthosehills, one indie games development studio which comes from Greece, it have two works-Reky and The Minims(This review only according to Reky). As a puzzle game, it accomplished the mission which the ability of solving conundrums from players is leveling up with the difficulty of it.
The diversity of gameplay make more possibility
From the most simplest way that only need to move one cube on the specified site to create a path through the shift and the cooperation of two types of colors, then the changing of cubes which have many colors, the difficulty of it is increasing slowly, from one to ten. No obvious up and down display on the difficulty, the whole difficulty carve is a little uneven, but the tendency is steady. The design of levels includes many ways, such as going to the end with rising and downing cubes or crossing many black portals to escape. Not only can get fun with exploring the right path by myself step by step, but also can experience the double difficulty from the adjustment of colors and blocks under by the same frame.

Super Hexagon
Minimalist perfection.
You can only go left, go right, or do nothing at all. That’s all of the options you have.
This game pushes this minimalistic rendition of dodge to the utter maximum.
The game starts out hard and doesn’t get easier, but getting better at the game is incredibly rewarding. Your mistakes are always your own, your high score often just barely out of reach.
The game doesn’t ever let up in terms of ramping difficulty, but also doesn’t get tedious or boring.
You’ll first just have to dodge simple obstacles coming at you, then learn patterns to deal with complex obstacles, while the game just gets faster and faster.
