Army of Numbers

As a math nerd, I love it. I’m happy that there’s finally a quick game I can play to relax that still makes me think instead of just brainlessly push buttons and swipe. This is what this genre should be.

StopTime Drive

StopTime Drive

StopTime Drive is a unique turn-based racing puzzle game that combines arcade racing with a top-down view and an opportunity to think over each move. A slightly oldschool and hardcore, with the original mechanics and different ways for passing!

The player controls the car, which has many obstacles along the way from other cars and repair pits. Mad scientists from the organisation StopTime stopped time on the track and gave player’s car the ability to instantly move in space. They placed in the way a lot of power-ups so these tracks can be completed.

Three ways of play - fast passage, collection of coins and collection of atoms.

The mechanics in the game are a little hard for beginners, but eventually you can get used to it and get the most hardcore achievements!

  • 16 main levels

  • 9 short levels

  • 3 types of power-ups

  • 3 ways of play for medals

Main features

  • Turn-based racing

  • A dynamic puzzle game

  • Original mechanics

  • Hardcore rules

  • Pleasant music and atmosphere

  • Different variants for passing

  • Easter eggs

This game’s best feature is the background sound. The game is simple, move around and get the words without getting nicked by one of the hazards.

Read about this on r/languagelearninng on reddit, really enjoying it so far :) Love the ability to upload your own vocab lists. The music is great, although I’d like to see the option to use your own at some point in the future. I teach English and this is something I think a lot of my students would enjoy instead of using regular flashcard apps. Great idea!

Cubixx HD

Cubixx HD

5 stars out of 5; it is like the classic game Qix, but based off a cube stage, and it’s possible to play co-op or MP [5 thoughts]

1. i love this game, to me it is very similar to tetris. simplistic but not easy to master

2. soundtrack has some very decent moments

3. picking your laser’s color will change the sound that it makes… this is huge, imagine if sound #1 annoys the hell out of you

4. depth, beating most of the lower stages will not be difficult. making it to stage 50 on arcade will be

This game is a remake version of a Cubixx game from PSP and I think its pretty good to have a content that isn’t available from PSP.

Its basicly a Qix in a nutshell, its a Mixed ideas between Qix and 3D Perspective, giving a Fast-Paced Arcade Slice and Dice gameplay.

Its really addicting to play this game, and added Steam Leaderboard brings more competitive to the gameplay.

The only thing that I really wish is Multiplayer, since this game supports up to 8 players, if I’m not mistaken, and I really wish if there’s an Online mode where you can play multiplayer also.

NecroWorm

NecroWorm

Nice ambience with bugs and horrible controls

What this game is: This is a timed puzzle game with a cartoonish side. You litterally are a worm that has to eat his way through a setup in order to solve it by eating every available object (be it a brain, a skull, etc.) in a certain amount of time. You can make your way through one space only once, so you have to make sure not to put yourself in position of crossing your path.

How does it work? It presents 120 setups, on three pages, that you have to solve. Depending on the time you took in solving the puzzle (by eating everything there is to eat), you get from one to three skulls. From there, you are allowed to continue solving other puzzles, unless you want to get a better score (and thus more skulls).

I came into Omnom Necropolis expecting a classic snake game, but found that this is more of a hybrid of the old snake game and a puzzler. Basically the goal of each level is to each each of the yucky dead things as quickly as possible without boxing yourself in. As you move you grow with every step (slither?) so you cannot enter the same space twice making it a bit of a challenge. I found that it’s easier if I don’t think too much about it and kind of get a broad idea of how to clear the board then tweak it out from there. This works pretty well except on some of the harder levels where things get a bit insane. There is a hint feature that shows you a completion path, but use it sparingly as it only gives you a quick flash and they are limited. Graphics and sound suit the mood and it looks nice enough: I tested it on my low-end machine and it ran smoothly so that’s nice. I’m slightly bummed that it does not support gamepads – because of this I cannot stream it to my shield or play it on the GPD Win easily. All in all if you like puzzly type games you will likely enjoy Omnom’s different approach to the genre. Plus it’s only 3 bucks. Good game to add to the Halloween playlist.

Pipe Mania

A very interesting game!

Real player with 10.9 hrs in game

I got to admit, all I really wanted was a slightly upgraded version of the Win 3.1 Pipe Dream. This version is similar and offers a few nice quality of life improvements, but it makes the game unnecessarily complicated and suffers from technical issues: it manages to run slower than Crysis, has broken videos and no display settings to speak of. There is also a fairly long intro that makes each gameplay session a commitment.

Regrowth

Regrowth

Take some time off and relax

Regrowth is a game that I could enjoy even when i had little time to myself. The various mechanics - which on their own look pretty simple and self explanatory- and layouts of the puzzles make for an intriguing and often challenging experience. Quite often changing mindsets and/or gradual optimisation were the keys to solving the levels, and it gives the player a good amount of satisfaction each time it all finally comes together.

I think these kind of puzzle games are a nice way to keep ones mind thinking on simpler things for a while, in a cute, relaxing atmosphere, so I’d definitely it recommend for anyone.

Real player with 11.8 hrs in game

The game is a realy refreshing experience, especially nowadays when everything is about reflection time, high speed hand-eye coordination. I find it amazingly important for these hidden gems to exist, so a troubled mind can find some peace. Regrowth has a charming, fantasy-like look, which fits in greatly with the immersive story with which anybody could relate. The puzzles are just challenging enough to create some intellecutal relaxation after a hard day’s mental work. However, besides all those points I have mentioned, the most important aspect of the game is…you can plant some green dude! :D

DUSK ‘82: ULTIMATE EDITION

DUSK ‘82: ULTIMATE EDITION

Dusk ‘82 has reminded me of how awesome dungeon crawlers are, as well as the fun and sometimes tricky puzzles within them. If it’s okay to compare it to other games, I’d say there are elements/influences of Ultima, Rogue, Chip’s Challenge and even ZZT in here, intentional or otherwise. It combines a lot of what made those games fun to play and turns it up to 11.

It’s short, sweet and the world is your oyster in terms of customisation and level creation so hopefully this will be one of the most community-serviced titles on this platforms as it has the potential to be.

Another master piece of David Szymanski, DUSK 82 has to offer a great 8-bit action-puzzler that was used as the prequel of the original classic cult shooter DUSK.

Created in such a simple style, this game reached the expectations that the fans were hopping for the next title of the DUSK series.

I enjoyed the puzzles that the game delivered including the music that was adapted from the first game successfully, meaning that I didnt even felt boring while doing the run of the entire game.

In my final review I would give:
