Puzzle Party
I’m usually not a huge fan of puzzle games, which is why I was surprised by how much fun I had with Puzzle Party. The difficulty varies, some levels were easy, some it took me a lot of trial and error to figure out, but even I with my pea brain eventually managed to beat all 92 of them one way or another.
The game has a story, which is probably its weakest point. Still, while it never really captivated me all that much, I also never found it distracting either.
To me, Puzzle Party’s strongest point is the atmosphere. I never felt frustrated, even when I messed up a level for the tenth time. Something about the space background, the deep rumble of the ambient noise, and the simple graphics just has a calming effect on me (also the sound effects, which all have a super satisfying crunchiness to them).

The puzzles are easy to mess up, and with no undo button, restarting some of them from the beginning can be a pain, but they’re fun, even the one’s i designed and don’t remember how to complete.
The later levels can be more frustrating, with the complexity reaching ‘ugh’ levels, but i cant really complain…
i just wish i did better. Not that i made ALL the levels, but in retrospect- If i designed all my puzzles around restarting quickly, they would of been better.
I’m still going to recommend it, because its a fun little puzzle game if you’re out of cheap little puzzle games to play

Super fun game! Would recommend if you like a game that makes you thing about your moves every step of the way 10/10. The artwork in this game is amazing along with the animations that go along with it. The story is great and the adventure that it takes you on along the way. Hope you get this game and enjoy it as much as I did :')

Quick Description:
-A cute little flower saves the day in a grappling hook adventure! A few abrupt difficulty spikes aside, this is a fun and creative mini metroidvania that is well worth the asking price for fans of the genre.
What’s Good:
-Checks most of the boxes for what is expected from a metroidvania. The entire world is interconnected, there are several unlockable upgrades that allow you to explore once unreachable areas, and there are fun collectibles to be found.
-Really adorable art design and color scheme. Each biome has it’s own theme and color, along w/ new enemies and environmental hazards.

Elder Puzzle
Let me start off by saying, the achievement Level 11 is glitched. Even after completing every level I still can’t get it to pop so that is a little annoying. However, the game is actually pretty fun. The puzzles don’t take too long but they are quite enjoyable and well put together. The game is rather short but is pretty fun for $0.50 or $1.

Elder Puzzle is a “template flip”, that is to say, it’s a “game” that has been produced by copying a game template or using a game construction kit, and changing a few things. In this case it was a game construction kit/template for doing a simple jigsaw puzzle game with retro pixel “art” pictures.
This is deplorably low quality bundle trash. No professional effort was made in terms of game development, copying a template/using a game construction kit requires no talent, and unsurprisingly produces products that have little to no value as games, especially when compared to the work of professional developers who create genuine products for gamers. It’s almost as bad as an outright asset flip.

Space Debris
This is a great party game for rock-blasting retro space fun. I love the drop in/drop out feature and the massive number of gamepads supported.
There’s also a bit more to it than you might expect:
Several ships to choose from, each with their own unique style
Bring dead allies back to life
Collect space dust to power up
Collect debris from destroyed alien ships to unlock new ships and upgrades
Play it now! you know you want to.

Wild Times
Repetitive. Repetitive. Repetitive.
No pause, no save, no fun.

A top down shooter that reminds me of Sunset Riders from consoles long ago. Take a look at my video posted above to get a sense of gameplay. Be mindful to take note of the control scheme listed on the store page as there are no in game reminders. I found myself jabbing at the keyboard trying to find out but not before being murdered by the first enemy over and over again. I will say that the pace of the game is a bit slow and because of that level progression is very slow. I spent 20 minutes on mission 2 and never completed it.
