Pocket Plants

Pocket Plants

It’s a pretty simple game but I see how it could appeal to some people. Find a plant, water it with multiple trips to the water source, level the plant up to the required tier, place the plant in its new home to lift the fog, do this until the vine is all healthy, win the level. The game is easy to break if you press random buttons, check the video for gameplay and said breakage.

It’s very relaxing and simple with no fear of failing as long as you read the tutorial the first time because there is no going back. It’s free and if you like caring for pants, you should try it. The level design is my favorite part of this game because it looks like an artist made it- there are some pretty cool visuals and even the forest is aesthetically pleasing. The music fits the relaxing theme, too.

Unfortunately, I could only get the game to run once. Every other time requires a combination of pressing the escape key and opening task manager to see anything beyond a black screen, which immediately goes back to black when trying to play. Hopefully this is just a bug, but I could find no way to report it. From what I’ve seen, the music and graphics are wonderful and I’d love to play more, but… shrug

Space Defense Grid

Space Defense Grid

“Space Defense Grid” is a tower defense game. The enemies in the game will attack the energy center, steal energy and then escape. Players need to build defense grid according to different levels. It should be noted that different enemies have their own characteristics, such as some enemies get energy and speed up to escape, or open the energy shield, etc. players need to adjust the grid specifically, in addition,The game designs the enemy’s shield and weapon’s armor penetration, For example, the armor penetration of weapon a is 3, the shield value of enemy B is 4, the damage of a attacking B is reduced by 10%, and the effect range of weapon to enemy is 10% - 100%.

Train Valley 2

Train Valley 2

I loved Train Valley and although I initially preferred it as I play more of TV2 I realise this game is a bit better. It’s addictive laying tracks and trying to get the correct trains to the correct stations, upgrading them so they carry another carriage and go that bit quicker, and buying more trains so I can shift goods and people more efficiently. It’s easy to stuff up a single track route to have trains crash or go into the wrong station - but that is all part of the fun and puzzle aspect of the game. Striving to get 5 stars on each challenge is also always achievable (in my plays anyway) but might take you a few goes, which means a little bit of replayability for each map.

Create goods via different stations that rely on each other! Good gameplay, supported by a friendly community.

Solve the puzzle!

Every level is a puzzle: several towns require goods in order to finish the level. Those towns produce workers, which are required in most crafting stations. For instance, if the town needs glass, you first send workers to a sand excavation station. There workers are converted into sand over time. The sand then is transported to the glass factory, along with a new supply of workers. Finally the glass is transported to the town. The ratio is always 1:1. So before you start the level you can calculate how many workers need to go where.

Ekstase

Ekstase

Great puzzle game, with great accessibility support. Keyboard controls are rebindable.

The aesthetic is top-notch, and it was easy for me to melt right into this game.

EDIT: Game runs fine through Proton as well (not surprising, since it’s Unity) but the video backgrounds are unavailable there.

Real player with 3.0 hrs in game

Absolutely love puzzle games, especially Tetris and Lumines. While clearly inspired by both, Ekstase stands on its own by going in its own direction where it really counts and being greater than the sum of its parts. From what I’ve played so far, it’s absolutely killing it and I can’t wait to sink in many more hours!

GraFi Christmas

GraFi Christmas

Have I already reviewed some Grafi games?

Well, it’s eems there’s dozens of them. And they look al the same.

50 levels, and some physics inside this indie puzzler which has just a Christmas feeling, like - they took one of the other Grafi games and added some red and white elements.

It features 100 achievements like all the other games in this series and on the other side it offers just some hours to be completed. Maybe even less than a hour if you’re better than me, which is extremely possible, since I such at gaming.

Grafi Christmas is a reskinned version of its previous installments, which are aimed at the casual puzzle fan and/or achievement collector. The same 100 bubble letter achievements unlock for clearing its 50 stages, and it still clocks around an hour of game time. Because it’s still clean & presentable without any bugs, choosing recommended, but this review is actually mixed.

Since there are few changes, the following is largely copied from my previous reviews:

Melodramatica

Melodramatica

Very clunky. would probably be better as a top-down game, as character gets stuck in walls, walks EXTREMELY slowly, NPCs block you character, and makes it difficult to chase down the other characters to interact with. tutorial does not explain much either, having to walk frustratingly slowly around to figure out what needs to be done. eventually figured out that you needed to enter to top left room to assess a dresser to equip costumes - if this was not to be covered in tutorial prompts, at the very least, the rooms should be labelled clearly.

This game is obviously still in early access because there are some obvious areas that need some TLC, but looking at the rest of the game… I have no concerns that the team will fix these. It looks absolutely fantastic!! It’s worth playing this just to walk around the theatre, even if you don’t want to play the rest of the game lol. The art is so gorgeous.

The main thing you’re doing is just talking to your actors and sending them around to do things, which is fun because they all have their own personality. Some actors like some things more than others. But where it really shines (and what I want to spend hours on) is everything else leading up to the show. THERE IS CUSTOMISATION!!!! You get to dress up your actors which automatically makes this a good game. You get to craft stages for the shows you’re putting on. And watching the actual shows is ALSO super rewarding. Lots of really fun “small” things to do that lead up to the big performance.
