Loop Knight

Loop Knight

(6/23/2021)

There’s… not much to the game right now, really. Story mode has two levels which are extremely short, and there’s an endless mode as well as a hell (hard) mode.

Your guy walks forward, you build ramps as he goes, or you destroy the ramps with lasers if you don’t need them.

Gameplay feels a bit clunky, I think being able to stay zoomed out while playing would help. I would prefer the guy to be a bit faster, but gravity a bit lighter (less realistic).

Sound and music are decent, and graphics are pretty good. Game also lags a bit, probably needs to be optimized.

Rebots

Rebots

Experience a galactic adventure with your crew of robots

You are working as a middle manager for the Rebots Corporation who specialise in climaforming inhospitable asteroids for aliens. Your character’s aspiration is to become “The Best Employee Ever” but there is a long journey from the bottom to the top. Climb the ranks of the Rebots Corporation, making friends and rivals along the way, as you follow in the footsteps of your mother to become employee #1.

Program robots

To make your robots work, you need to program them. Or rather, you need to instruct your robot managers (supervisors) to instruct your robot workers. Hence, you learn how to program by creating your code and instructions directly in the world and seeing your robot operation automatically carrying out your carefully designed program in real-time.

Build and balance delicate ecosystems

Each alien race has specific requirements for habitats, meaning you need to transform and design ecosystems while dealing with the local fauna and flora that might condone your lease on the land. You are changing the climate of existing ecosystems (climaforming) so you experience first-hand the effects of climate change and migration.

Build relationships with the alien factions you meet

Some aliens enjoy sweltering hot, some live in a swamp, while others like chilly weather. Get to know multiple factions throughout your adventure and learn their preferences to become the best employee of the Rebots Corporation.

Solve challenges in unique ways

Use your ever-growing programming skills with your robots to solve challenges in a variety of ways. Use the available resources to your advantage and leverage the local fauna, flora and resources to assist you in completing your job.

FortressCraft Evolved!

FortressCraft Evolved!

I play every 4x/base building game that comes out. In almost every game, I find myself wishing that X would be automated in some way. Such as, hiring bots, employees, or machines to do marketing, sales, shipping… whatever the task happens to be in the context of the game, and I’m invariably let down every, single, time. No developer has ever gotten this workflow right. In fact, some even argue that too much automation takes away “work” from the game. I’ve hand delivered X item to X person 100 times now; Why do I have to keep doing this same damn mission over and over Elite Dangerous? I literally can’t hire a space mailman to deliver packages? I gotta do it myself? Jesus.

I recieved Fortresscraft Evovled in a Indiegala bundle when it looked to me like a minecraft clone. I didn’t get the bundle for this game, but for another one but I’m glad I did! I didn’t play it until I saw direwolf20 had a let’s play on it, and the name sounded familiar. I’d recommend watching his let’s play or at least part of it:

PoliPlanet

PoliPlanet

Your galaxy is a blank slate; An untamed wilderness full of potential! Travel from planet to planet and develop each one into a beautiful village, town, or city through the use of machines and crafting!

Physics-Based Interaction

Actions in PoliPlanet are generally completed by interacting with the physical world rather than through the use of menus and UI. Whether it’s gathering resources, loading machines, or planting trees, it’s all done in real time and space.

Free-Form Building

No grids, no point & click. Whether it’s a segment or a complete structure, you’re free to build wherever and however you want. Let your creativity flourish!

Real Relationships

Citizens in PoliPlanet are not mindless NPCs who follow a predetermined set of instructions. They build complex relationships with the player and each other. Treat them well!

Natural Progression

As you develop your skills, you’ll learn more about the resources at your disposal and gain the ability to craft bigger and better structures and machines. As your planets become more inviting, NPCs will begin take notice. If they like them enough, they might even fly over in their rocket ship and take up residence! But of course, everyone is different. A merchant might want to see a few other citizens living on your planet before they’re willing to set up shop. They need someone to sell to after all!

Elaborate Procedural Generation

Each planet is unique, with its own resources and features! So what if your citizens are requesting some plant life on your sandy, desert planet? Well, it’s off to your spaceship to search for a shiny new planet, lush with trees and plants! But how will you get them back to your civilization? Rockets? An overly complicated tube system? Build a transportation robot who exists solely to carry out your every request? It’s up to you!

Battle Crate Simulator

Battle Crate Simulator

In this box-by-box physics simulation, you build ships out of crates to blast enemies and carry cargo. With two modes available, work your way up from a dingy to a battleship in adventure mode or arrange a battle in the sandbox!

Build ships using an array of components with different stats and an assortment of weapons with their own strengths and weaknesses. Each box moves independently so damage to any ship will greatly affect it’s performance; using the targeting feature, you can instruct your ship’s hardpoints to strike critical blows. You are also able to save and load your designs into any mode, allowing you to test your adventure mode designs in sandbox battles to reveal their weaknesses. This game was designed to be very “menu-light”, so most interaction takes place directly with visual objects to create a smooth and simple take on the vehicular build-and-battle genre.

Available Modes

1. Adventure Mode

  • Build a ship with limited supplies and try to survive on the open sea!

  • Trade goods from markets by transporting supplies in custom built freighter ships.

  • Arm you ship and fight the fleets of ambient ships you’ll encounter.

  • Accept quests to fight challenging enemy designs and conquer the seas.

In adventure mode, a open world environment awaits for you to explore with custom battle crate ships. By trading, stealing goods from NPC ships or scraping enemy ships you defeat, you can earn resources to unlock new crates and build bigger ships. Random encounters on the open sea present challenges and opportunities; you may find a cargo ship worth pillaging or aggressive pirates may spill your goods into the sea!

2. Sandbox Mode

  • Create a custom battle with as many object as you’d like.

  • Set teams and join either by starting the game.

  • Restart will reset your designs so you can tweak and start it again!

In sandbox mode, you can create custom battles with your own ship designs. Set up two opposing fleets and watch them battle to the end. Want to tweak something shortly after starting? No worries, just reset and all your setup work is preserved!

The Penguin IQ Test

The Penguin IQ Test

A roundabout 5-6 hour indie puzzle game at the moment. You need to figure out where to place your arrows to change the path of the penguin.

There are ~ 65 levels right now with some being explanatory when a new mechanic is introduced.

Maybe there should be in a few levels a limit of arrows to make it more difficult. I personally would prefer some kind of incentive to optimize your solutions - right now it doesn’t matter how fast/good your solution is as long as it solves the puzzle.

Now with added workshop items there is more content and you could create your own levels or play for example my created levels ;)

This is a brilliant and fun game. I have not quite finished it yet as of the time of this review but I’m pretty close so I’d say this game should take about 3 hours to complete in its current state. That gives £3.10/hour, which is reasonably good value. The best part is, however, that the game is not finished. I can definitively see the story stretching on much further than it does right now, which will be good. The art style is very simple and pixelated but I personally like this. The puzzles are mostly fun using some interesting game mechanics. However, a few of the forest levels seem a little odd and after a while the mechanics get a little boring. Therefore, I feel that introducing some new arrow types, perhaps playing with the speed or having a temporary arrow that can be used twice, would be nice. I’d also like to see some further use of the bridge.
