The youngest Nobel Prize winner Minna Vellamo is assigned with the mission of finding back lost stars. She chose to be accompanied by a robot named Harvey for him being a …robot. Little does she know, Harvey is the clumsiest and most talkative robot ever.

One day before departure, Minna was told that “Electric Eel” Janus White will also be joining the team. Being depressed for a very long time since retirement, the former footballer signed himself up to the project. He believed that this is the only opportunity to find back his old-day glory and to prove to the public that he is still a hero.

Will Janus achieve what he is looking for? Often described as bold, independent and determined, will Minna get along well with Janus?

Mystery Swords

Just like the first basic trash title by this ‘developer’ called “Space Adventures” this is nothing more than a game template, an asset flip, a base foundation to start making a game. A bare bones start a thousand miles away from being ready to sell.

Just more lazy trash by another lazy guy who wishes he was an actual “developer”. Running a photo copier on a book doesn’t make you an author, and what this guy has done definitely doesn’t make him a “developer”.

Gold Miner

Gold Miner

This is just some old game that’s been rehashed. The music is dreadful and on a loop that only lasts a few seconds.

It is also very buggy. I gave up after the cable just went off screen never to reappear and then I couldn’t even exit without force-closing the game.

One to avoid.

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

Spring Bonus

Spring Bonus

This is the second casual coffee-break friendly match-3 I’ve played from Grey Alien, and I’m going to say this is an improvement over Holiday Bonus Gold. Besides there being a lot more variety in your screen-to-screen goals (you may have to match a certain number of a particular tiles, allow some unmatchable tiles to drop down the bottom, break some frozen tiles or a combination), the easy access to the Timed mode gives the game a lot more urgency. I’m usually not a fan of hurried puzzle games, but until level 98 (curse you level 98…), I had no problems beating the allotted times for each round. Cheerful music, though the art does look a bit Hallmark card-ish. Looking forward to rounding out the trilogy with Spooky Bonus next.

Enjoyable cute Match-3 with good game length (played through all 100 levels). Nice for relaxing :)

Soundtrack gets annoying after a while, though you can disable it.

There are no Steam cards, Steam backgrounds or achievements for it though.

Washed Up!

Great puzzle game. The timed mode is very addictive!

Real player with 89.5 hrs in game

Really fun tetris block style game with lots of little bits of detail that make it a pleasure to play and fun soothing music. Two modes classic (3 strike system) or time trial. Range of difficulties from extremly chilled to frantic with online leaderboards and some fun achievements.

Minor annoyance the block rotation is finicky when squeezing gaps and is hard to predict.

Overall it does what it says on the tin. You should know from the desc if it’s your sort of game. Would recommend.

Hexagon World

Hexagon World

No. Just no. Do NOT pull the trigger on Hexagon World.

It’s pretty feature-free. The only controls are to 1) add land; 2) add water; 3) make a set of hexes desert; 4) make a set of hexes snow. That’s it. Nothing else. If you play this for 5 minutes, you’ve done everything you’re ever going to do with it.

Two menus (house and bomb) aren’t even implemented. No way to change the speed. No way to change the sound volume. No way to scroll the map – you can only zoom in and out on the center point. The cool airplanes? Just dots on the screen; you can’t even see what they’re doing unless it’s happening near the screen center. Switching from flat earth to globe view often results in just a black screen.

Hyperblade

Hyperblade

I am sorry, I reviewed this game negatively in past, this is a fun game. I think my GPU the GTX 1070 was running hot due to the weather or hardware issues. I have played all the maps that would load for me. The last two would not load. I liked this game it is like other racing games but it is different in the way that you have to control a drone. I really like the countdown that is a great feature because it reminds me of old-school racing games, which I loved in the past. It takes some getting used to how to control the drone but after you get a hang of it, flying will become easy. I did not play multiplayer but there is a multiplayer mode that you can race your friends online or in-person locally. I look forward to seeing what the devs add in the future.

Suddenly Meow

Suddenly Meow

It’s the best Macht 3 game I’ve played for many reasons that I’ll explain:

Generally this genre is based only on matching 3 or more gems or objects and scoring, it can be good as a pastime but it is a bit of a repetition because you always do the same things every level.

“Suddenly Meow” is different because you do not have to match gems at random, but according to a scheme that we must understand to create a road and allow our cat to get to the fish.

Each level changes because while we play we have to break boxes, run magnets to move objects, cut down bushes to find hidden objects and more; it is not a passive game but active because it is necessary to reason and understand how to set a suitable path for Tim

Suddenly Meow is a match 3 that took me by surprise. It was exceptionally good and refreshing! I would categorize it as classic puzzle and not just a simple match 3. This is not only because it runs in 3 different modes (relaxing, limited moved and timed) but mainly because of the “tasks” you need to do to clear each level. The first 20-30 out of 90 levels keep introducing you to new mechanics and “tasks” as well as mini games and your hideout (aka a type of “level up” system).

You are trying to help the cat make its way through the forest that got lost in. The introduction of the new elements in the puzzles are very smooth and clear and if you get confused, a help book is available to remind you of how it works. You also get a hideout early on in which you unlock various power ups and decorate your cat’s hideout with them.

Android is a 2D platformer very similar to Brøderbund’s classic Lode Runner.

The goal is to guide an android around each level, collecting every bag of gold on the screen while avoiding roving enemies and collecting bonus fruit. As with Lode Runner, gameplay involves running, climbing, hanging, and dropping bombs in order to dig holes or trap enemies.
