Nelly Cootalot: The Fowl Fleet
I’ve LP’d the previous installment , Kickstarted the sequel, and was rather looking forward to this. Let’s break down my impressions, from least important to the most:
Graphics: I kinda miss the original hand-drawn look. It had a unique charm to it that the smoother and less unique 3d models lack.
Voicework: Quite good all around. Except from some British TV guy – apparently everyone were so excited to have him on that they forgot to check whether his voice fits the character.

As I have been following the game’s author’s main work for a while, (which I would highly recommend to most people on the planet) I finally brought myself to buying the game during a sale. The drawing style is simple, but atmospheric, the voice-acting is mostly superb and the few birds one gets to see up close are truly adorable. The highlight of the game definitely are the song-bits, which are completely insane and oddly catchy. Bought it during a sale and thought it was quite sweet. Especially for a game both written and animated by someone who, as far as I understand, only dabbles in game-development.

Kitten Adventures in City Park
This little hand-drawn game is so sweet and cute that I don’t have the right words to write about it!!
It’s very simple as a game; you control a cute kitten through the city and you’ve got to retrieve lost things from your mistress.
The atmosphere is super cute, and the voice acting to me is awesome.
Every ambientation is hand-drawn and there are no animations in game, just transitions from one place to the other one.
It’s not your classic point and click game, you don’t have to do particular things or combine items - you don’t even have an inventory. It’s more of a super cute hand-drawn adventure :)

I’ve seen enough games to be bored immediately by most of them, but if there’s one thing that’ll always catch my interest it’s the passion project. That passion has hooks, and those hooks are what makes Kitten Adventures so compelling. It’s the quintessential passion project, and that’s the lynchpin upon which the game―and your enjoyment―hinges.
I frontload the core of the review because I guarantee the one minute elevator pitch will turn most of you off: it’s a very simple, deliberately primitive childrens' game in renpy where you listen to a bunch of seven-year olds talk at you, then go click on a bunch of things so they can talk at you some more. A sort of babby’s first adventure game. Odds are unless you have strong opinions on the Pajama Sam or Putt-Putt series yours is turning against this game. Perfectly reasonable, but a terrible mistake.

htoL#NiQ: The Firefly Diary
There are 2 main features in this game - gameplay itself and the storyline.
If you like games like Braid, Limbo and games with either very complicated story, or story that is told vaguely, but is very touching when you take your time to understand it - this is absolutely worth buying. Warning though - story is actually a pretty dark one, despite game’s initial cute appearance and lovely soundtrack. And even though the ending is pretty solid, some things that happen in a middle of it are not obvious even after you finish the game. Still, overall - great story.

htol#NIQ, or Hotaru no Nikki (if you want a clearer pronounciation), reminds me a lot of various indie puzzle platformers such as Limbo, and Braid. It is also a dark and twisted puzzle platformer game.
You control a firefly that controls a young girl and that firefly acts as her guide. You also control a firefly within her shadows that can manoeuvre its way through other shadows and use it to do things like activate switches, cut roots, stun shadow monsters, and more.
The controls are very simple and all you need is just your mouse to play. You can play the game with a controller, sure, but as it was originally a Vita title where you used the touchscreen to control the firefly, the mouse is a natural with this game.

Little Dragons Café
As a lover of relaxing games like Harvest Moon and Animal Crossing, I thoroughly enjoyed this game.
The world is adorable, as are the characters. Being able to fly freely is something I’ve really wanted in a game, and Little Dragon’s Café has a great mechanic for flying.
Although I didn’t like that the characters make wide turns, I quickly got used to the controls. In fact, this helps during battle because you can buy your dragon time to kill the creature by making it do a wide turn.
The story isn’t amazing, but it’s rather cute. Overall, I do like the variety of characters, although many of them were kind of mean and unpleasant at first.

This review has been edited to reflect new information.
Update: Since My Time at Portia fans/marketing are review bombing this game (and other, similar titles) to try to destroy Portia’s competition? I wanted to draw attention to how both Portia and Little Dragon’s Cafe have the same Metacritic score (I’m using the Switch version of LDC as the PC version doesn’t have enough reviews to be comparable).

Super Phantom Cat
Hurts to say it, since I really enjoyed this game and will probably come back again to finish off the last world/bonus levels I ignored.
But absolutely don’t buy this.
It’s from a Chinese mobile game company who completely abandoned the project, it was poorly ported over (something I ignored when I originally bought it, blinded by my love for cats and platformers).
You’ll find tons of reviews that had issues with their controller working, I didn’t face this problem but I believe this completely, due to the series of other problems I faced.

If you are an achievement hunter DO NOT buy this game!
I have tried so hard to like this game, but its just not good. It has such cute graphics and the overall gameplay feel is very casual and straightforward. Its just super badly made which is such ashame! There is a glitch with the achievements not unlocking, bugs where the game progress will reset itself and the controls are bad. The keyboard bindings are horrible and I heard some people have problems with their controllers in this game. I personally didn’t get this bug and played with controller, but the movements are sluggish and at times frustrating. Sometimes you have to time your jumps to perfection, but the controls simply aren’t good enough for that kinda gameplay, which leads to tons of frustration.

Changed
wow… this is the best $7 I ever spent on a video game. I didn’t expect I would love this game so much, I love all the puzzles, and how interactive everything there is. There’s so much stuff in the game to interact with, and lots of dialogue to get from interacting from Puro or things around the room. The setting of this game is also really cool to me, it’s a post apocalyptic world where everyone has turned into furries, and when you get “transufurred” there’s artwork and scenes where you get to watch it all happen, dying in this game is like art, there’s something new with each death, I really liked that. I love Puro, getting to talk to him and make a bond with him going through the game. I highly recommend this game, it’s only a few dollars and I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would

This is a really fun game! Do NOT play this if you don’t like furrys, or do, its about trying to survive and NOT become a furry. Anyway, its a fun, difficult, angering puzzle game that I’ve have meltdowns about several time! its great and I would fully recommend this game! Also, Try not to destroy you computer while playing this game.

Deer & Boy
Deer & Boy is a poetic cinematic platformer where you follow the journey of a boy who, after a tragic event, decides to escape his own fate of reality.
In this runaway, he will meet a fawn and eventually tame it.
The animal will gradually grow throughout the story and will become an essential and protective companion.
This deer will help the boy to find the strength to rebuild himself and finally emerge grown up from this experience.
Solve puzzles and avoid enemies standing in your way.
Falcon Age
An entertaining birb hunting and robot smashing game.
Played in VR, and had a lot of fun playing with your falcon and going through the story.
There were some elements that seemed a bit unpolished, it feels like there was intended to be more to the story and setting that never came to fruition, was a bit short in that respect, and while it gives you different dialogue options it’s really unclear as to how much it really affects your playthrough or the ending (in some cases there is only one answer that lets you continue). Also, at least in VR it seemed difficult to be precise in moving objects with your electric whip, making one sidequest unnecessarily difficult - this may be easier outside of VR, but the feeling of being being -in- the world was hard to give up.
– Real player with 14.5 hrs in game
Note: I played this as the Desktop, Non-VR version. I don’t use VR, so I didn’t play that version.
I was keeping my eye on this game for a while, so I was so excited when it finally came to Steam! Because I was excited about it, I might be a bit biased.
Beautiful looking game! The only thing in this game that didn’t look good was, when you gave the falcon different colour feathers, their feathers looked a bit weird. Other than the feathers, everything looked good! The storyline was interesting and engaging, but short. It would have been nice to have a game like this have more gameplay in it. I normally don’t mind short games, but I really wish this one was longer, because it was so much fun!

Lockdown Hero
A Collectathon Platformer with Farming mechanics, Lockdown Hero is a 3d platformer where you explore your surroundings,gather materials ,learn skills in order to combat the threat of a virus. Gameplay reminds me of early 2000s platformers and farming/gathering mechanics from games such as stardew valley and animal crossing. The premise of the games is quite simple really collect resources such as alcohol and toilet paper while evading or tackling the virus. The virus itself instantly kills your player as you come in contact with it thus you need to find alcohol which kills the virus. You then manage your supply of Toilet paper and alcohol in order to buy/trade with npcs throughout the map. Npcs may also send you to do tasks that reward you such as with unlockable skills,clothing and resources. Exploration is a must as the city is where you spend most of your time and need to take a boat in order to access the other areas. Controls of this game such as double jumping and dashing feels like any 3d platformer unlocking more of these skills greatly helps your movement ability. All i can say is that Lockdown Hero is an enjoyable game with many things to do and unlockable content justt waiting to be discovered

Pros and Cons
Pros
– Lockdown Hero is a game that feels like a completely new concept and not just a (good) recycled one.
– There are many side quests in this game next to the main quest.
– There is a casino with many mini-games to play where you can earn new equipment.
– You can learn many skills to access new areas.
– The progress system feels fair and is also rewarding.
– The game continues after you have found the cure instead of just rewinding time to before finding the cure.
– The game is one of the most addictive ones I have played in a while.
