Nino Maze LOFI

Frustrating.

This game started out promising.

Relaxing music, not too difficult maze, nice animation of a running cat, …

I liked the game instantly and felt like it would be a nice way to relax.

But the further I got in the game, the more I felt like the goal of the creators was to irritate us.

The “difficulty” of the mazes was the increasing length and the smaller size. Everything became smaller so it’s not a game for people with bad eyesight! And the mazes were super easy but just really long. The music also became more irritating. Sounds that don’t fit together and “singing”?

Overall exactly what I expected, with a few issues -

The fact that it gets smaller with each stage wouldn’t bother me had they kept to a light colored background and tiles - a black cat would show up fine in contrast. I was able to see fine in all the stages, it just was more annoying on those.

I really, really wish the LoFi didn’t have any speaking to them. It made me jump multiple times, and just pulled me out of the relaxing mood. It’s only in a few of them, but I personally didn’t enjoy it.

“Columns…a reference to a very old match 3 puzzle game that this game emulates in no way, shape, or form…”

This is much less a game, than it is, a way to unwind and chill, maybe needle out some emotions.

Well, I say that, but, it is only mostly so, because A-Eye, the main interactive persona, the one ‘controlling everything’, does make it harder at some point, and the chill factor drops until one can pass it, and get the apology waffle.

This is mostly a medium of popular references. Olympics, sports, video games, hobbies, academics&trivia, and even a nod or two towards the likes of authors that wrote about humanity’s downward spiral, though no names are directly mentioned, I definitely got some vibes of George Orwell, to name one.

This is a very simple, 2d game, that in terms of gameplay isn’t extremely exciting but it’s 100% worth just for the story itself. I randomly found this game yesterday and decided to install it, not really expecting much from it. But, the more you “press any button”, the more you get immersed in this story and relate to this cute little character called A-Eye, who, if you are anything like me, you will just want to hug and tell everything is going to be ok, by the time the game is over.

Don’t want to spoil the game too much, but if you have an hour to spare (probably less than that), you should give this game a go. It’s a rollercoaster of emotions.

Chuusotsu! 1st Graduation: Time After Time

Review with accompanying gameplay videos on Sinical Network

https://www.sinicalanimenetwork.com/post/2018/09/02/chuusotsu-first-graduation-time-after-time-review

I recently received this game for free as a curator connect offer for my group Visual novel, JRPG, Anime. This kinetic visual novel from Studio Beast and Fruitbat Factory features a trio of unemployed teenage girls Arue Marisugawa, Koiro Hachisuka and Arara Fujisaki with Arue as the protagonist in this episode.

Arue, Koiro and Arara were ineligible to wear any authorization seal which renders them unable to hold any permanent stable employment and hence became Chuusotsu. Arue plans to take a re-evaluation exam and become a government official after missing a crucial exam during middle school from being hospitalized. To be able to survive in a foreign city on a stipend without having to work, Arue has to participate in an experimental study where she has to stay in Tabula Rasa apartments with Koiro and Arara, achieve sufficient synchronicity among themselves and give an answer to the philosophy of life.

Chuusotsu is a cute sci-fi slice of life medium length (by medium I mean between 8-18hs, anything above is already into the longer side) kinetic visual novel with a lot of layers behind the seemingly simplistic front.

You follow the misadventures of Marisugawa Arue as she tries to reform her life as a shut-in, reach her dreams and obviously make some friends along the way. However, things quickly take a turn into the weird and strange but thankfully with a satisfactory conclusion and lead up to the mini sequel.

Turtle vs. Portal

Found this game on the new releases lately, it has some 70 levels which looks very easy and simple but it really requires some strategy. kudos to the creator…I strongly recommend this game to all the gamers out there who are looking for fun,strategy and puzzle solving sort of game, There are few levels which was really difficult to finish but had a whole lot of fun time playing it, but its sad that the game is small and hope the continuation version will be released soon!!

Real player with 6.1 hrs in game

I don’t get much time to play but this game is fun and challenging at the same time it’s addictive timing is everything and spotting the hidden scrolls to move the next level is a little tricky some are hidden well you will fail alot but it takes practice but game is worth it

Pros

• Huge open world adventure for you to explore

• Several side missions

• Character design is unforgettable

• Main story is breathtaking, the ending impacted my view on the world forever

Cons

• Unskippable cutscenes (not that you’d want to)

• Price is a little high for my liking, but forgivable due to the stunning gameplay and features inside

Overall

A truly immaculate creation. Visuals are great, world creation is marvelous. Allows you to create your own original character straight from the Peppa Pig franchise. It makes you feel like you really are a part of the Peppa Pig universe. Makes other games like Sekiro : Shadows Die Twice pitiful. Could be considered a GOTY contender.

Panqueca & Paçoca: A Friendship Jigsaw

Panqueca & Paçoca: A Friendship Jigsaw

This is a feel good chill jigsaw puzzle game. There is a thin story with each puzzle. No timers, Each puzzle has three difficulty levels 81, 196 and 361 pieces. the largest size can be done in around 2-3 hours. Hints are available but totally unnecessary.

The only complaint i had is a lack of option to separate the edges, other than that it was a good relaxing time waster. Highly recommended.

Real player with 32.3 hrs in game

This is a very relaxing and peaceful game with a sweet story. The story is told in five parts, each one illustrated with a charming hand-drawn style picture that make up the game’s puzzle content. The related part of the story appears after you complete the puzzle.

Each puzzle comes in 3 size versions which also provides players with 3 levels of challenge. Puzzle enthusiasts will enjoy all of them. There are no time limits and hints are available if you get stuck.

The 16 achievements can all be earned in a single play-through. 15 are earned when you complete each of the puzzles in all 3 sizes. The last one is earned when you complete all five puzzles once and get to read the whole storyline.

a really lovely little puzzle game with cute theming and a cute story to go with it ♥

I completed about 90% of the puzzles in inbento on mobile over a handful of hours before my attention was pulled to other things - I’m happy to be supporting the team by buying a second copy on PC for a couple dollars to finish up those last few levels and see the ending.

Real player with 15.6 hrs in game

This is one of the best puzzle games I have ever played. Not my ### 1 but definitely in my top 5. While there were a few levels I found frustrating enough to need a guide, it wasn’t too many (4-5) and I was able to work out the solutions of most puzzles on my own. Some really good puzzles in this mix. It’s a unique approach to how you solve puzzles in this game, but it also feels like a natural evolution from the developer’s previous title Golf Peaks. Looking forward to their next game.
