Incredipede
You might be looking at this game and thinking “Wow, that’s one unique game!”, but the most unique aspect of this game is that the achievements ask you to do things in the real world.
This game wants you to go outside and explore your own backyard. It wants you to look closely at the insects and plants that you probably haven’t looked at since you were very young kids.
That is amazing.
I recommend taking a break to do an achievement anytime you get stuck on a level, and then go back to laughing out loud at the acrobatics of your creature.

This is the exact definition of incrediphillia. One of the best indie games on steam without a doubt. There are no physic engine based games that can compare to Incredipede. I’m sure most of you have played some sort of flash game some place where the whole point is to create some sort of contraption, building, or any kind of construct. What I think makes this stand apart from the rest is the mere fact you create a simple character with odd physics, like some sort of construct, with movable parts. You are really only limited to your own imagination. You can create pretty gnarly stuff and get through the various levels. The game itself has some replayability as well. The game allows you to do the levels on Easy, which gives you a premade design to finish the levels, and then you have the Hard mode, which starts you off with the base of the character Quozzle, which is just her round eye. By the way, when you finish the game, don’t fret. There is a level editor included in the game. You can create some fun levels and you can share them with your friends as well. I really can’t think of any negative things the game has. It is a pretty solid title, and I believe the price is just right for such a game. With that I say, whatever you do this Summer, it won’t be as fun as Incredipede. All bugs wish they could have as many limbs as the gal in this game. Every purchase of this game helps fund research for limb growth of bugs, so open those wallets to make their life easier.

Lowsy
so! this game is one dollar. this is a truly unfair price - i think it could go fine at eight, to be honest. but what exactly is it?
with the grid and tick system and variety of parts, you might initially think it’s a zachlike, but it isn’t quite. there are 13 levels, and they don’t build off of each other or progress smoothly - they showcase entirely different conundrums. I’ve only beaten the easiest few, but i’ve had to carefully map out a maze of hands, do speed changes on two perpendicular lines of eyes to avoid collision, and stall out eyes in a box until the level ends automatically. every level is a completely separate puzzle, and they’re all very fun! it’s like a game made of only special challenge levels

Orbital Shipyards
This game has some amazing potential and is just a flat out fun little game! The dev is a steely-eyed-missile-man who takes feedback and genuinely tries to make the game as fun and complete as possible.
The game is a voxel spaceship building game with realistic physics and low-level aerodynamics. Those who played Kerbal Space Program will recognize the importance of Center of Mass/Thrust and delta-V in each direction. I can basically describe the sandbox as KSP arcade mode. The PvE is fun and challenging. The dev seems to have space for much more to be added, so we’ll have to see what comes down the line.

Summary: Orbital Shipyard gives a fantastic and fun showcase of the game’s shipbuilding and PVE and Scenario modes, all of which bring their own unique enjoyment. Despite the modes all being very early in development, the potential and promise they present, makes it a game that all space sim fans should at the very least check out.
A full detailed video preview can be viewed here:

Gameplay:
As a whole the gameplay to Orbital Shipyard while indeed extremely early shows a massive amount of potential and promise, with a variety of content that will cater to many different audiences. Builders looking to customise and build up their own space ships. Space dogfighting enthusiasts and even those who like to create their own battle scenes and record them to share with the world. There is something for everyone here.

Candy Machine
Candy Machine runs unacceptably slowly, has extremely poor to outright non-existent tutorialisation, and a UI that doesn’t scale with almost any of the available resolutions that it offers in the launcher.
The $9 asking price is almost offensive, given that this game’s polish (or lack thereof) is something that would still be considered a disappointment of a $0.49 game. It could almost be considered worthwhile for the sub-$1 price point if you REALLY love the genre but have no money and are willing to put up with a mutilated version of it, but for this price just get one of the many, many games that do it much better.

I would say that for the game’s current state it’s ok. But the machines/conveyors need to not place when you click on a menu. It gets a bit frustrating when you have to delete something that you didn’t place over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. Other then that, it’s a good game so far with some very good potential to it!

Amborettio
Amborettio is an interesting game with a unique story behind it. I was impressed with the details in the backstory and I enjoyed collecting materials to build the required tools for the game. For the price, I would recommend this game to everybody who is interested. The solo developer has completed impressive work with this game at a fair price. I look forward to seeing the future games that this developer publishes.

Cloud Gardens
When I first went to play Cloud Gardens, I didn’t know what to expect. Come to find out, that’s exactly how you should approach this game.
Cloud Gardens is a unique experience that’s hard to describe or compare. It’s partly a gardening simulator, partly a Dystopian landscape builder, and partly a puzzle game that is both satisfying and without frustration. Any and all preconceptions I had about the game were dashed as soon as I started playing it.
Not only is the game beautiful and unique, but it also hits all the right marks: The controls and level design are absolutely on point. It’s so much effortless fun working your way through level after level, and when you fail a level it’s no big deal to go back and try it again. As a matter of fact, you’ll look forward to it.

This game is so satisfying! At first it’s so simple you might think you’re playing a repetitive and boring experience, but it quickly gets more and more creative and captivating. Some levels are shorter and offer less room for wild creativity, which creates a good pacing considering the large amount of levels in the game (I’m not even halfway through apparently).
I almost never write a review before completing a game, but this is something else. Good vibe with simple and solid mechanics, charming pixel art, and a surprising amount of player agency: you’re growing plants, sure, but also placing (or dropping) all kinds of objects near your plants to make them grow. Those objects let you create storytelling in every scene, then make great foundations for more procedurally-creative plant growth. This is also why the initial simplicity might be misleading: at first, there’s not much room to expand, but wait until you add vehicles and buildings on larger levels to see the true potential of the game. There’s a puzzle element to it, too, for reaching 100% and completing each level.

World of Wonder
It’s gorgeous. The vistas are stunning and once you fart around with some upgrades you can really rip around the place pretty quick.
By no means is it perfect, but for ten bucks it’s an easy recommendation.

Yikes.
Performance is hideous.
The gameplay is bland, you just surf from one area to the next, reading tutorials that are missing text because of the environment is covering it up.
The controls work sometimes and the grab detection is nonsense.
If you actually make it to an area without the numerous crashing you will get a sword with no vibration feedback.
And just as the lack of feedback so is the music. All you hear is wind.
Next area you get a gun thats not finished modelled.
And finally you get out of the tutorial just to get to an area filled with puzzles.

FISHERY
This could be a very lovely game, I cant recommend it at this point, but I have high hopes this could be getting somewhere.
What I like:
The style is lovely! The fish and plants are stylized to a point to make it look artsy, but you still recognize every species, it is realy beautifully made.
The animations are very cute, the fish chase each other, nibble on plants and decorations, I love it. :)
I like that the fish are breeding and the babys are realy cute.
What I dont like:
I played with one tank for 63 ingame days. In that time I had 3 adult platys and a ton of babys.

I’ve been keeping fish for a long time and it has been my dream to find an, detailed and good fish keeping game. Over the years all the fish keeping games I found were either very old or abandoned. But fishery might finally be the game. It has many things already added so it’s a perfect early access game. It does lack a lot of stuff. But it is still good enough to provide you fun until new updates roll out. Fishery already provides the things you would want in an aquarium game. It already has 18 fish species that are for now mostly freshwater and it has 17 plant species that come in different sizes and variants. There are lots of decoration items that help you create the aquarium you always wanted. There are around 10 substrates. I think they can add more into substrates. Such as different substrates being beneficial for different situations. Or they can just add more substrates or even substrate mixing. One of my favorite features of fishery is the plumbing system. Not only it is unique but the idea of being able to hide all the filtration and heaters an all that stuff is amazing. And lastly something no other game has (At least from what I’ve played.) breeding. So far there is a single gamemode. Sandbox. But a career mode is coming. I would say if you so far like this game consider a few things: First it’s early access so there is a possibility you might not find the content you need. Second the game is slightly more detailed for some people. Third if you love saltwater more there aren’t many fish or plant variants yet.

Weed Shop 2
Although I was disappointed to find the game was no longer available on the Play Store, I found an APK ;)
Now for Weed Shop 2: Basically the same as the previous generation, PC tuned graphics still aren’t mindblowing, but they’re decent enough and bearable. Updates are still rolling out; I have to say I’m quite impressed by the presentation of such a good game from a solo developer! Keep up the great work kid! Procedurally grown weed is fun to watch; knock out burglars, and vandals, and spice vendors harassing your customers, roll and smoke joints, blunts, bongs. Mingle with people on the beach by walking outside the shop! You can even adopt a cat*!

This is one fantastic game it haves everything you expect in a game and it is very original such a new idea that works i just hope they go further with it and add much more DLC this is a winner of a game and must be a big money maker for the devs i have played it for some time and on level 70 and i enjoy this game so much had no issues with the game so far not been arrested yet for growing and selling weed so this is one game you can grow and sell weed in safety with no fear of police raiding you lol.
