Bloat
I usually play puzzle games to relax after work.
This game is amazing. It’s both really calming and aesthetic in every way. The music and scenery is really original and both perfectly complement each other.
The tutorials are easy to follow and intuitive, so both children and adults can play and enjoy.
I find gameplay is a great experience overall and so far (I have yet to finish it) the difficulty is a perfect ramp up for where you are in the game. Showing mechanics as you progress in a slow and understanding fashion.

Loved it!
Good puzzles, but not too hard. So it’s one of those rare games that can give you a challenge, but you can actually beat it!
I love short games that don’t waste my time, and don’t have bugs.
This is why I love indie games.
Also amazing soundtrack. Spotify when??

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.

Nice little indiegame. It is a 2d platform-shooter with nice visuals and great handling. It is very short, around 40 minutes, but i had great fun, playing it. The achievements are easy to get.

This game…. in simple words.. painful. Unfortunately i thought it would be a fun indie game to checkout but after playing it for about an hour and getting nowhere I am calling this a bust. The camera and motion controls are lacking. Interacting with objects is awful. Its makes noises like you have done something but nothing occurs. There is no clear direction and although in most games that take that approach this is a subtle suggestion on flow to the story where as this game has not flow at all. Honestly its like painful. I don’t want to crush developers but in this case it needs some TLC. Def not trying again.

OVIVO
Quite an unusual game, fantastic visual design! It feels like half a post modern art installation and half a puzzle-platformer.
Although the core gameplay mechanic is very simple(you switch between two colors) they’ve managed to build surprisingly rich set of different gameplay elements with it.
Art design is definitely something. The amount of hidden references and allusions is just mind blowing and I definitely haven’t spotted all of them.
Special praise for the soundtrack, it goes perfectly with both the general feel of the game and specifics of each level.

My goodness this game is simply stunning. The visual style speaks for itself; if you’re interested in this almost sort of Native American or tribal white-on-black starkness, you know this game is for you already and you should play it. The mechanics feel just like they should and there’s only one annoying bit where left and right get reversed (I raged a little bit). The music is great but they are fixed songs on loops, not responsive to your actions or the progression of the level as in 140 for example. Still, excellent compositions that fit the game’s mood perfectly.

SOULBOUND
For starters, this is quite a linear platformer, not a metroidvania.
There big checkpoints indicating a shift in the “level” and sometimes mini checkpoints which you can get a save point. The goal is to collect three “souls” which act as keys for the next level. Without them, you can’t move on. So within the level you must pick up the souls and come back to the exit to move on.
There are no permanent upgrades. Just “powerups” to pick up with one time use like double jump. The problem lies with the time rewind power up. There was hardly a tutorial on it and when it expects you to use it, it expects you to use it the right way. If not, it doesn’t respawn again and your only option is suicide and restart from the checkpoint.
