Dumpy and Bumpy

Dumpy and Bumpy

Fun little puzzle game with a classic feel. Reminiscent of NES classics like Adventures of Lolo and Kickle Cubicle. Starts off fairly simple but quickly ramps up in to some real challenges that are sure to stump you for a bit. Does a great job of continually adding new mechanics to keep you on your toes. Fantastic pixel art and a fun soundtrack. If you like puzzle games, this is an easy buy at this price.

The game is super adorable

Has a really cute 16 bit aesthetic that looks like it was taken from tetris attack and a few other things

Has two gumpy dinos (which is always a win with me cause I have Bob from bubble bobble tattooed on my arm)

The puzzling is very challenging. It doesn’t feel quite as water tight or smoothly ramped up as a lot of other more famous puzzle games (at least not in the first 50% of the game), but IMO the challenge is still there. Some of the later levels are much easier than some of the earlier levels in the same world. But it’s fine. You still have to beat all 10 to advance anyway! (at least I think you have to beat all 10 to beat a world. at one point I think I might have hit a bug, cause a level spontaneously solved itself without me completing it. that only happened once though and I haven’t reproed it, so I think it isn’t an intended mechanic)

IGEO DX

IGEO DX

Casual But Challenging

Casual in it’s approach but punishing in it’s execution, IGEO DX is a fun and rewarding Sokoban-style puzzle game. Mechanically simple but challenging, players will push and combine like-shapes to solve increasingly complex spatial and logic puzzles.

The goal is simple: clear the board. To remove shapes from the board players will have to push two of the same shape together. Combining shapes can have different effects - combining unlike shapes results in a game over.

However, It’s not always so simple! With pits and walls, the player must move precisely to keep from falling off the board or trapping a shape in a tough spot.

Movement and Logic

IGEO DX thrives on challenging players' abilities to think forward and navigate the steps it will take to clear a level. As the game advances, special tiles and obstacles present additional adversity in moving and completing levels.

Whether you’re slipping on Ice Tiles or engaging Switches to power Doors, you could be one move away from victory or failure.

Beware the Virus

Various tiles in the game are infected by a dangerous virus. Moving into these tiles will infect the player causing their movement to be capped at 10 tiles before they succumb to the disease and fail the level.

Good news, though - there are Curing Tiles ready and waiting to remove that dastardly infection and keep you scooting on!

Lawnmower Game: Pinball

Lawnmower Game: Pinball

This is an interesting Pinball… With a variety of levels, but there are only 6 of them :| No more.

The controls are convenient.

Bought the game as a collection, for less than $1

But I didn’t get the only thing. Why is the game called lawnmower pinball? lol

We’re not going to mow the lawn are we? We just want to play pinball?

I guess this is the kind of commercial move that will increase the popularity of the Lawnmower series of games? I liked that one. It’s unusual ^^

Assembly

Assembly

Assembly is an incredible puzzle game, where your main objective is animal reconstructing from pieces.

This is a family friendly game with cartoony casual graphics for all ages.

But Assembly is not regular puzzle game, it is a 3D puzzle where you need to use your dimensional vision.

Gameplay could not be easy but it is 100% interesting and addictive.

Game contains 21 levels with about 100 pices in everyone.

Chip’s Challenge 2

Chip’s Challenge 2

I started playing the Windows version of Chip’s Challenge way back when I was five years old. It took a good three years to beat the game, but they were three very enjoyable years. Shortly afterward, around 1997 to 1998, I discovered a small online community dedicated to the game, which was buzzing about a potential sequel. Sadly, by the time its development was finished in 1999, the sequel never saw the light of day due to publishing problems. So that should give you an idea of just how much time fans have been waiting to see this game. In the meantime, the CC community grew and started developing its own official fan-made sequels to the original game in lieu of CC2, and CC developer Chuck Sommerville released a successor to his original called Chuck’s Challenge.

It’s Chip’s Challenge 2, and I enjoyed it enough to play through the entirety all at once.

Took over 13 hours. Totally worth it.

Anyway, everything from the original returns here, as well as a huge pile of new elements that, though overwhelming at first, are definitely introduced at a reasonable pace. Some levels have time limits a bit on the short side for their puzzle (often these are bowling ball on rail puzzles) and there are quite a few more short time limit levels in the game: though these are more straightforward, where the time limit merely adds to the challenge rather than frustrates by running out of time right as you’re approaching the finish.

SOK PRO

SOK PRO

Finally, the Dark theme was added to the Sok series!

To be honest, this game is no different from previous versions of the serie and there were even many repetitive stages in it!

Compared to previous versions, no special features and mechanisms have been added to the game, and its level is exactly the same as previous games, and as I said, the only positive thing about this game is that it has a dark theme.

Overall, I don’t think it worth buying, but if you want to buy the full series of games, not bad. tolerable.

Dungeons & Bombs

Dungeons & Bombs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmBW_QWMS_o

A neat, little sokoban puzzle platformer game with crates and bombs as the title suggests. Go through the various levels and rescue the hot bearded princess. Difficulty-wise, it varies nicely over the course of the game with the 50 or so levels getting slightly harder as it progresses. New additions of obstacles makes it fresher and keeps it fun. The puzzles themselves does get you thinking with having to make the moves taken within the levels matter in order to proceed and reach the end of the levels. From alternating pop-up spikes to various dungeon monsters, there are a lot of things to face. Of course, with there being bombs, bombs and more bombs, there are a ton of explosions. Visually, it looks quite cute with the little characters and design of the game. The music and audio is also a great combination with the arcadey and retro type which makes it kinda feel more oldschool. Price is cheap enough being only a dollar, after having a price reduction, so it is worth a try for those interested in a cute, little puzzle game. Those into the sokoban genre is also in for a treat. So overall, is nice little buy.

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:

Chipmunk’s Adventures

Chipmunk’s Adventures

I’ve gotta say, I was pleasantly surprised by this game! If you enjoy puzzle games and can handle retro style graphics it is an excellent pickup, especially for the price it is offered at! Enjoyed it so much I ended up playing the entire thing in one sitting!

What to know going in:

  • A 100% playthrough (3-starring maps) will run you roughly 5-7 hours

  • You aren’t punished for spending seeds, so don’t be afraid to if you need to! No achievement or bonus for not spending them on checkpoints, hints, or the shop upgrade.

Real player with 7.3 hrs in game

Cute pixel graphics, relaxing music, and exciting logic puzzles.

Some levels take a few minutes to solve, but some is pretty hard, especially if you don’t wanna use “tips” and get all three stars (as I did). I really like it and If you’re looking for an addictive logic challenge this game is recommended :)
