WoMen in Science
Fun farming game, you have to make things instead of buying which is kind of awesome, but I got to winter and still hadn’t found a bucket to milk the cow, so very little money was coming in so I just started a new game, I’m hoping I can figure out how to milk the cow, it would help get through winter as well as being able to cook, but I really like the game and its kind of being made as we play.

I think that this game deserves a lot of positive feedback, so I really wanted to give it a thumbs up!
It’s much better than I’ve expected considering that it’s still an early access. You can easily enjoy it at this stage of game development and it’s surely worth your time and money. If you love science, technology or just wish that you could play game like Stardew Valley but with added bonus of gaining insights of how things work in real life - give it a go! I also love the dialogs and general game story that makes you feel that you’re being part of enlightened and progressive community.

Potato Party: The Potatomancer
In a city where nature and technology unite in harmony, a tournament begins. A great tragedy is remembered, and the actions of the exceptional are honored. The curtain rises on a glorious stage of wood and steel, and at the end, a crown of legend. Storms surge across the battlefield, as gravity twists and meteors tear through the air. Let the games begin.
Potato Party: The Potatomancer is an in-development competitive party platformer in which potatoes in mech suits compete in an array of head-to-head arena challenges to crown a victor, who can turn the laws of nature against their opponents.
Key features:
4-WAY RUMBLE
- Try game modes including King of the Hill and Capture The Flag as you dash, jump, and blast your way to victory. With free-for-all and team play options, the glory of victory can be shared with others or yours alone.
REWRITE THE LAWS OF NATURE
- With each round you win, you may choose a new force of nature to unleash upon your opponents for the next round.
NETWORKED/LOCAL PLAY
- Play with friends locally or create and compete in online rooms. Customize your game mode, level, and more to organize a tournament of epic proportions.
LEVELS & INTERACTABLES GALORE
- Compete across a myriad of levels, each with a unique set of challenges and interactables that could determine your success or seal your defeat. Use your environment and its gifts to your advantage as you seek victory, but beware, as your opponents will undoubtedly do the same…

Vilmonic
Vilmonic is a sandbox game which focuses on the evolution of alien species called anims; they adapt to environments, go extinct, go through periods of population peaks… Anims change shape as they try to find a way to fulfil their role in a niche, when faced with competition from other anims. I have high hopes for this game, and I believe the developer will continue to grow it.
Vilmonic for me is a concept game, it is still in beta as I write this, the game has potential to inspire many into pursuing perhaps even careers in genetics, or simply educating people in times where evolution has been considered controversial. It has a friendly aesthetic for new users, the control schemes can be somewhat clunky.

The ONLY modern A-Life game you can do a successful Wolfing Run.
For the young ones, that is a term coined by the Creatures series community, which has been on the net since 1999.
Wolfing is leaving your artificial lifeforms to their own devices for several hours, maybe while at work or sleeping, and coming back to a population that has changed, persisted, and survived natural selection factors. Mods are needed for Creatures 2’s bugs but the three games can theoretically support a “wild” population of creatures without player input for extended periods.

The Signal State
Great little Zach-like. If you like this genre of fiddly little programming games, you’ll like this. If you’re not interested in the genre, you won’t.
Pros of this particular game:
+Charming analog aesthetics. The game’s UI feels very “physical” and low-tech in a neat way.
+Minimalist but reasonably interesting story. I’m all about workers seizing the means of production.
+Good soundtrack. Really helps you get into that zen programming mode.
+More accessible than most games in this genre, as difficulty curve is lower. This might be a con for you, if you’re super good at this genre and really want a challenge, but I think difficulty curve is in that sweet spot challenging without feeling like you now have a second job learning an imaginary programming language.

This game falls short on so many aspects and makes so many dubious design decisions that makes me wonder whether the devs actually know what they’re doing:
- UI/UX:
The main UI, a physical rack representing modules, is just bad, period. Now before you yell blindly, “but node-based programming is the future!”, please note that the game does not feature node-based programming: actual node-based programming would be like Scratch, LabVIEW or Blender nodes. This game’s UI represents specifically DAW skeuomorphism, notably Propellerhead’s Reason. It is also a design decision from the last century, done by nobody else, and being commonly criticized around all the time. Also, DAWs don’t have a million tiny modules like this game.

Moons of Ardan
So I really wanted to like this game….. And I do!
I figured Id give this a try not expecting it to be all that since it’s very early access and cheap, boy was I surprised by a well thought out, fun game to play with no crashes or errors. Yes it has some teething issues of course and those are annoying flashing lights when night time comes, the lights seem to flicker a bit. Also, if you send feedback it will not lock the mouse and keyboard to the feedback page, so if you go to edit you will be spinning your world and placing random buildings all over. Other than those 2 things its silky smooth really.

Short version: game has potential, but needs a lot of work.
Long version: It runs at a solid 6 fps once you start getting things set up on the other moons. Increasing or decreasing the graphics settings (which give no indication as to what they actually change) seems to do nothing. There is no way to change keybinds, the sound effects are (probably) just default sounds that come with the Unity engine. Switching views to the other moons is clunky at best, and painful at the aforementioned 6 fps. This feels more like something that should be on a kickstarter as a proof of concept rather than released as even an Early Access game. The music is decent, albeit a bit repetitive. The balancing feels a little off, though that’s to be expected for an early access title.
