Unlocked

Unlocked

A very relaxing, wander through the seasons. It didn’t take me long to start enjoying this experience. I wouldn’t really call it a game. There are things to find yet it is more relaxing to wander the landscape and ‘happen’ upon the small number of items. There is really nothing to ‘beat’ except your own anxiety over trying to locate the achievements quickly. I believe this defeats what is offered; some time to explore the seasons and enjoy the soundtrack. The music is lovely and manages to add a calming nature to whatever time is spent ‘wandering’ the landscape.

Unlocked is really good value for money because you get 3 games enfolded in one. Each game has a different story and each level has a different environment. All the variety maintains your interest. Each game has a host of collectables for you to find at your leisure and some are cunningly hidden. The worlds are not big enough to get overly lost, but challenging enough to get frustrated.

In Unlocked, you are an alien on earth and each level is a season. Game play involves you finding all the clocks which will open the door to the next level and some tubes. There is no clock to beat, so it is a calming experience to leisurely find what you need. The gentle music in the background adds to the ambience. There is one tricky platform area in this game.

Get ready for the jump scares! I had to change the language option at the start menu, which was no prob. I liked the tutorial instructions at the beginning, and the short background. I played for about 20 minutes and didn’t find anything but lost all 4 of my lives, so it may take some time to find all the trinkets. It may have been made by a new creator (which I was definitely fine with) and I absolutely enjoyed it. I plan on playing again when my neighbor isn’t asleep :P

I honestly don’t want to waste words on this one.

There are timestamps in the video I suggest that the developer watches the review section so you can fix your game.

The Dream Libra had

The Dream Libra had

It was a fun little game… my only complaint is not about the game but that I earned all the achievements and then discovered what “Profile Features Limited” means. I’ve never noticed this note on any other games but now I know this game doesn’t appear in my “Perfect Games”… why Steam???

Otherwise, good luck figuring out the trash can… you can do it… and the Elixir mission… lol. They were tough but doable. Nice touch by the game dev to make those a challenge.

The Dream Libra had

This game is a really simple adventure indie game. I really enjoyed playing this game, I like the genre and games with strange atmosphere and funny and weird quest. Sure the story might be mind shocking to genre savvy people but I liked the twist anyways. Plus I am a big fan of how the quest tied in with the story/message of the game. The game does have issues with it inventory and picking up items. It was really annoying trying to get an item off the floor and no way to toggle to it. Also the way way you shoot your gun. Sometimes I am clicking directly at the enemy but it doesn’t connect and takes a few tries before they die. Also there is some game mechanic that felt useless like the heart v body stats? I am not sure if the affects the ending. There is some spelling and grammar errors but this guy is doing everything himself and it is way better than other translations it brings charm anyways.

I love this game, and if you like games like Animal Crossing you will probably like it too.

It is a cute little game which allows you to help out ghosts by fulfilling the tasks they give you.

You also build a camp for yourself, take care of animals, harvest plants and flowers, decorate the island etc.

Everyday you get a few tasks and some things you can harvest, but after those are done you may have to wait till tomorrow to get new ones, so the game is more of a gradual story and a slow burn (which I like a lot because I do not have the time for major games at the moment).

A lovely game with interesting new ideas, stymied by poor design decisions that make it a chore. If you like Stardew Valley type games, and don’t mind the restrictions usually found on mobile, it could be for you.

Good:

  • Interesting characters, a slow burn unravelling of their stories

  • A nice ‘illumination’ mechanic whereby helping spirits each day lights up the area and enables resource harvesting. Feels rewarding and like you’re making progress.

  • Lots of outfits and recipes to collect for collector / crafter types

Lil Big Invasion

Lil Big Invasion

Awesome indie game with way enough content to fit the bill. Its kinda like Pikmin except they are trapped in dungeons and you must find and rescue them.

Really loved the sound and the art-style. Dungeons are getting way harder and better later on and the boss fights are fun. It took me some time to get used to the controls tho. Exploration is great IF you figure out how the moths and the worms do work… which is not part of the tutorial :/

It’s cute but challenging and worth the money.

This is a fun little action adventure game, developed by my former colleague Andreas. It’s so cute, but challenging ‘til the last minute and the sounds are really funny, even if the little fireflies sometimes don’t behave as you want them to. But that’s the trick of the game and you’ll soon know how to handle them right in order to crack some highscores. Overall, an awesome game!

Glyph is challenging and relaxing platformer. That’s a rare combination to see but in this case it really works well. There are multiple different level themes with their own personal soundtracks to create nice and relaxing atmosphere. Some are darker while others raise you above to clouds.

The learning curve in this game has been balanced well with the levels. At the beginning you feel like you can collect everything quite easily and you get in to nice mood. Then levels get harder but you don’t really notice it that well because you start to be in control of your character and it does what you want it to do.Even harder levels won’t feel impassable because you’re not forced to collect everything and the mechanics are simple to learn. What you need is little creativity to reach harder places.

One of the smoothest platformers I’ve ever played. It can be a bit frustrating when you first are learning, but once you get the hang of it, you literally start to fly. The world is your oyster- er… scarab!

  1. The levels are condensed, short and mostly unique, providing amazing replay value after hundreds of attempts. They’re also in a 3D space, so optimization becomes more of an interesting challenge! (I definitely haven’t played Broken Road 1000 times, what are you talking about)

  2. You can choose the levels you want to play and which ones you don’t, providing relief if a level isn’t your speed.
