A nice, fun little game! There are three areas (clans) and each of them have their own plot and style of gameplay to complete the tasks (fighting, puzzle solving, etc.). It’s a little short (around an hour-ish) but you’ll be invested pretty much the entire time in that hour and the game definitely has its charm.

Ooki, our happy go lucky monkey is minding his own business in the jungle. Ooki with a sparkle in his eyes spots of his favourite …. bananas! But then something terrible happens. Those awful yet terribly cute bullies gang up on Ooki and steal his precious bananas. Distraught Ooki goes to visit monkey god. He is told to beat ALL the cute bullies over 100 levels to get his bananas back! Life really isn’t fair….

Gameplay

So the story is just fluff and took one minute to write but this just setup for a very fun block puzzle game. Ooki has to punch all the banana blocks in a correct route. This consists of nine areas made up of ten levels and a mini boss fight. To unlock a new area, you must beat the previous one first. The faster and longer combos you achieve the better points you get. This in turn gives you a better rank. Be warned slow coaches! Devil Cat will appear and start chasing you and try to kill you after a certain time.

What is Ookibloks?

Ookibloks is a puzzle game that is targeted towards a more casual and younger audience. The game is a product of its presentation in that it is designed to have a happy, bouncy atmosphere. Because it has been designed with the utilization a more charming setting and aesthetic it may not appeal to everyone. Consequently, I would imagine that this may be a more polarizing game. It’s certainly a game that you need to be in the right mood to enjoy.

Players control Ooki the Monkey. You must guide him throughout levels in pursuit of getting his bananas back. These bananas have been stolen by crabs. Consequently, levels are a focus upon getting the bananas with various obstacles placed in the way to make it a challenge.

Obstacles - short casual game - cookie cutter = This is probably a game for children. Some of their other titles are more interesting. Felt like another cookie cutter game with 100 levels.

This a great little platform game that puts me in mind of the old 8 bit explorer games with huge maps such as Underwurlde, Nodes of Yesod, Starquake and the like. You have abilities that are unlocked as you progress and let you explore more of the map which is quite a task to progress through. The graphics are suitably retro and I found the music rather soothing. It’s not very long though although there are a few hidden rooms to discover. My only gripes are achievements not unlocking for me and the game had a habit of freezing for a few seconds but these aside, this is a solid platform game that’s worth a look.

I bought this game to give it an honest review because I was so upset by the first review. This is a fun casual game with some rich environments. The puzzles themselves are creative and stretch through multiple rooms, the interface is slick and easy to understand, exploration is rewarded, and upgrades are well utilized. The game has a nice built in perpetual save system complete with a “continue” option upon starting the game up again. I do think these environments and game-world would be benefit with the addition of some text-based-story, perhaps in the form of some data-pads or other optional-reading material hidden throughout the game. I can tell there is a lot to be said here, and I want to learn some lore! That said, the clever nature of the puzzles and drastic difference in the level ‘biomes’ were a pleasant surprise. I am sorry that this fun game by Harmonize Studios was subject to a troll on steam as its first review. People should try to remember there are real people behind these inde-games. Keep up the great work and please don’t listen to trolls.

TL:DR

Pros:

Great story, interesting characters, excellent immersion into the setting. Very nice art and music.

Cons:

Price. A bit short (overall - the routes were a reasonable length), especially for the price. Only two routes finished, and it’s now been over 6 months since the game was released.

Note: I’m still having trouble getting the game to update. The dev was very responsive to begin with, but the problem was never resolved, and Steam keeps telling me it’s up to the dev, and the dev is pointing back to Steam. The error I have isn’t game breaking, but it’s very frustrating, and also means I don’t have the bonuses I was supposed to have, since extra wallpaper etc was included with the second patch - which won’t install for me.

Wow… All I can say is… I teared up more than just once while playing this game! The unexpected plot twists caught me by surprise multiple times and I must say, it was really a fantastic read.

The characters' sprites were extremely expressive throughout the game, and I especially enjoyed the various reactions of not only the love interests but also Asami’s facial expressions. As a heroine, she’s extremely well-developed and I could relate to her raw emotions many times throughout the story. Asami’s character growth was heartwarming and truly brings home the title ‘Kokorogawari’, or change of heart!

World of Art - learn with Jigsaw Puzzles

WoA is the best jigsaw puzzle game imo. I call it ゴジラ (Godzilla) in this category. 1. Lots of various painting style puzzles, 2. User friendly like easy to zoom in and out or turn timer on for competition and off for relaxation, 3. Zoom in to learn how to draw, 4. Good in-game relaxing classical music or listen to your own music, songs or hymns through external media players, 5. New puzzles will be added for free. Highly recommended!!!

World of Art has scratched an itch for me, namely art-themed jigsaw puzzles. I like to play puzzle games on my android tablet while watching baseball or the news. All well and good but with way too many cute puppies & kittens, food arrangements, etc.

This app is paintings and nothing but. Not all masterpieces but there’s plenty to choose from. Although for some reason, the selection is quite heavily skewed towards 19th Century works and in comparison the Renaissance era gets short shrift. And while the image resolution holds up at max zoom, the color palettes show less than satisfactorily on some of the pictures.

Soup Pot

Soup Pot is a cooking game with a focus on creativity. The game aims to capture the open nature of home cooking, allowing experimentation across 100 different dishes. Players will use beautifully stylized 3D renders of ingredients to create these dishes however they like, offering a fun yet challenging experience. Players will even be able to choose their own plating styles, to make sure the dishes look as pretty and delicious as possible.

Soup Pot’s kitchen is a welcoming place, whether you’re a seasoned cook or don’t know which end of the whisk to hold. You’re free to experiment and try new things without having to worry about the pressure of failing.

Key Features

  • Become a master of the kitchen, cooking more than 100 different mouth-watering recipes that incorporate hundreds of potential ingredients. Follow the suggested methods or express your creativity by improvising and experimenting as you see fit.

  • Play with your food! Items shout their names as they’re added to each dish, dough reacts when it’s punched, and other whimsical touches keep the atmosphere light – and it’s all accompanied by an eclectic soundtrack composed of food-themed tunes.

  • Build your audience by cooking well and learning new recipes. Your viewers will give you supportive (or sarcastic) comments, depending on how your food turns out. Like what you’ve made? You can snap pictures of your best efforts.

  • Grill, slice, bake, mix, and more, with dozens of highly interactive steps. You won’t have to do the dishes, however.

Cons:One of the main problem with this game is that it only takes around 2 or less hours to complete it. I also feel as though the story was unfinished. I wish maybe that we could play as Emma when she is the automatician. I also found a key that you can pick up and never found the meaning of it. In the room where the fountain is there is a door that is locked that i thought the mystery key was for. What are all those do not enter signs on those doors about. Why didn’t I ever get to go upstairs. Who are the people that I’m competing with?

Too short, too many bugs, too little response from “developers” (read that “students who have graduated”). This is a fairly clever little game that was not really ready to become a product before, it appears, the course it was written for ended.

We never could figure out how to get into the secret room, even though we must have “solved” the game, as the credit roll came up after we solved the last puzzle. But, there were a couple of unchecked items still on our list of quests. Worse, one of the walkthroughs clearly shows that same item marked as completed just after an action that one would expect to complete it, yet that did not get it marked completed when we took that action ourselves.

Tricky Cat

this was a fun little game certainly worth 59 cents so if you want to get this game get it during the special promotion. even the 99 cents full price for this game is still worth it. if anyone is looking for a small challenge that will take 1 to 2 hours this game is the right choice. doesn’t have to much replay value since once you memorize the tricks for most of the levels it will feel boring. but the music is great and it will make 1 to 2 hours go by really fast, for only 99 cents that makes it totally worth it.

Was hoping for something more challenging… but this is just too easy and short.

All 100 levels can be done in just one sit through.

Suitable for casual player. No sweat in the play and doesn’t require too much brain work.

The control can be a bit tricky though, because the cat has a habit of sliding off blocks, especially during teleportation. The most challenging part of this game is probably wrestling with that sliding problem.
