ASTRO AQUA KITTY
Surprised this doesn’t have a higher rating. Maybe people are disappointed because they are comparing it to the first game and this game is very different. The first game was great because it has these crunchy controls with old school arcade-paced levels. This game is not like that. Unlike Milk Mine Defender, where you can only go left and right in an infinite loop, these are open maps where you have to hunt around and collect specific things. Also unlike Milk Mine, the powerups are not temporary but are items which can be collected and upgraded. Personally, I love it. It’s like if Star Fox was a 16-bit rpg with all the little side-quests and boss battles. But if you were expecting a continuation of Milk Mine, I can see why it would be disappointing.

Now I have finished it, I can say it worst its price. It is a very lovely sequel and a quality product for an indy title.
ASTRO AQUA KITTY is such an improvement compared to the previous one.
Now it is an Action RPG shoot-em-up with classes and multiples weapons. An immersive and even more cute artistic direction, a minded and polished level design that increase in size level after level and give you various tasks, all served by very good musics.
Devs made it with great care and you can feel it.

Boulder Dash Deluxe
A classic game updated for the future.
However, it looks very scary. Playing it, I could say that as a child I would have played this a lot, but as a grownup it’s not something that I would recommend. It’s past it’s prime and not updated to compare to other games today.

Mr.Mine
I think this game has potential, but progress is just too slow. I’ve joined the discord and gave feedback around issues with the game and was told you need to exploit the game in order to make progress. Maybe I’ll come back to it one day, but after letting it run for 2500+ hours and not seeing much progress, I think its time to shelve this game.
Issues:
-
at lower depths, 800KM+, progress slows to a halt. Both idle and active play styles have very slow progression.
-
idle play grinds to a halt when you can only make .5% of the cost of the next upgrade every 16 hours AND can only dig 1 KM of depth every 40 hours (there’s over 1000 KM to dig)

Mr.Mine is an Idle Game about mining and digging as deep as you can. On the surface it’s a nice game, but I have a big issue with the updates.
At first, they nerfed the cargo capacity, which I didn’t mind as it was still playable. Then, they released new relics which does not work and made us trash relics to try them out, only to realize they aren’t working properly. Then the final straw, they made the level 1 metal detector show chests location which I figured was a quality of life change, as the level 2 one is almost impossible to find in the scarce amount of golden chests the game offers you… but they instantly reverted the update 1 hour after.

Dear Home
Dear Home is a unique blend between a sandbox game and a “pushing-blocks / sokoban” kind of game. It focuses on exploring and collecting natural resources from your environment, while the quest items or some more rare materials are obtained by solving small puzzles.
You use the mouse or the keyboard to control a robot that just arrived on an unknown planet, together with 3 talkative spaceship modules. One of them landed right next to you and talking to it / completing the quests that it gives you will act more or less as a short introduction meant to show you the basic mechanics. You’ll find out that the robot can gather soil and mine stone, which can then be used for unlocking new research entries or crafting items.

First impression: medium-sized exploration puzzle game.
This is a first impression because I got killed by a T-Rex on my first playthrough, which has never happened to me in a Sokoban-style game before. This game is special! The premise is that you have a tech tree that allows you to mine resources and build stuff, and for some research you need unique materials that you can get by solving box-pushing puzzles that are scattered around the environment. This is all good fun except for wo things:
- The inventory is quite limited, and you can’t discard unique resources. If you pick up puzzle rewards you don’t yet need, you may find yourself unable to complete the research you need to progress (e.g. to unölock a bigger inventory).

Giant Blobs From Mars
Blob invasion imminent! A chess?-like invasion-blob game! I don’t think I’ve played anything like this before. Worth a try if you like puzzle games with a twist.

The atmosphere is good. It was a better experience than expected.

Miasma Caves
The gameplay of Miasma Caves is very simple: Explore a cave, find treasure, escape alive to sell said treasure in town, repeat.
The Cons:
-
No Automap (for an exploration game this is a huge drawback)
-
Intermediate cave levels are a bottleneck in difficulty (rocks fall, everybody
diesfaints) -
Not much of a story
-
A few minor bugs
The Pros:
-
Over 150 different treasure items of 4 different categories
-
Town can be developed
-
A lot of variety in available tools, which allows for different approaches of exploration.
– Real player with 150.1 hrs in game
I have played enough Miasma Caves to recommend it. You play a dragon-lady who spelunks a procedurally-generated cave in search of treasure and you’re a pacifist, so that means that you don’t attack any of the monsters inside. But you still can get hurt (such as from cave-ins, and falls, and the titular miasma), and there’s still a challenge in seeing how far you can go whilst getting out alive! It’s a fun game and I recommend it to anyone, especially those who loved Leila “Woofle” Wilson’s soundtrack in Freedom Planet; some of the greatness in that soundtrack is carried over in this game.

Golden Retriever
All That Glitters is Gold!
In this mining platformer, traverse your underground mine shafts to retrieve gold! Team up or compete against your friends or go solo into the mines and extract as much gold as you can. Setup your operation and reinvest your earnings into better gear and equipment. This line of work not only separates the gold from the dirt, but the pups from the dogs. With danger lurking in the ancient grounds, hungry Dinos awaken, searching for prey and loot. The wise miner doesn’t fear the Dino but sees it’s flesh and bones as a potential fuel source for their operations. Gold mining is a treasure hunt, so open your miner’s map, test some dirt, and find that stash of gold!
Mine to Save the Town from Fat Cat
Each unique map has new environmental hazards like forest fires, earthquakes, lava and new machines like helicopters and excavators! Every speck of gold you collect gets you closer to prevent Fat Cat from building his Cat-sino next door and paving over the town!
Beware of Dinos
-
Dinos cause cave-ins when they get grumpy and stomp their feet
-
Dinos eat all of the gold out of your bags of dirt.
-
Dinos steal gold coins when they bite you!
