Poi
I’ve been playing this game since the very, very early versions of the Early Access release, before cameras and costumes were a thing, but I’ve taken a long, long time to write a review, mostly because I’m having a hard time to fully express my feelings about this game. There are way too many things to talk about, which means this is going to be a rather lengthy review, and it might also be all over the place due to the amount of stuff that comes to mind, but let’s dive right in.
I’ve spent most of my teenage years and all of my early adulthood wishing for the “perfect” 3D platformer, one that combined most of the things I like in a single, awesome package. I dreamed of a game with a rich, vast world to explore. It had to have a lot of secrets and tricks to discover, but it also had to have well designed platforming and action to boot, and the atmosphere had to evoke feelings of childlike wonderment and adventurous endeavors in boththe soundtrack, the visuals and the story. The characters had to be adorable and stylish, and the gameplay had to be smooth and thrilling.

PLOT
You and your sister run away from the city in order to find Adventure. On your adventure to find adventure you meet up with Mario in his mid 80’s who asks you to get his sonic ring with ribbons attached to it down from a tall stump due to him being a crotchety old man who can’t do it himself. So you jump to the top of the stump, grab his ring and when you bring it back to him he tells you that the ring is called an “Explorers Medallion” and they are foudn all over the world. So he asks you and your sister if you want to get on his magic flying whale blimp to find him and since choice matters as much as it did in TellTale’s Walking Dead Season 1 in this game, you say yes and off the three of you go to go get the Medallions and save the world or something

Sneaky Kitten
Sneaky Kitten is a family-friendly non-violence game, where you play as a cat to collect coins and other trinkets. Do this by solving problems and sneaking past some non-friendly dogs.
Play as a cat!
Have fun playing as a cat! Experience the excitement of being a fluffy cat who can run and jump around in fun levels. The goal of the game is to sneak around the enemies (that are dogs) and steal their treasures.
Exciting stealth gameplay
Dogs are patrolling the area around the treasures. To steal them you have to be very sneaky to pass the dogs, finding paths where the dogs can’t spot you and sometimes distract them from their original path, then quickly sneak past them before they come back to spot you.
Non-Violence
We know that most family-friendly games today include violence. Our philosophy at Eight Lives is to avoid violence, which is why we have made Sneaky Kitten without violence.
Problem solving
Sneaky Kitten is a game with tricky problems to solve and situations to get out of.
Collectibles
Throughout the game there will be trinkets you can steal from the dogs, unrelated to the main mission. Steal all the collectables and you might get a reward!
Castle on the Coast
Fun game with great controls and fun levels.
I enjoyed it 8/10

An effective, charming 3D platform experience that is honestly one of the best on steam. I got to play this early thanks to the dev but in no way did that influence my opinion on it, it is genuinely a great experience you should check out for yourself.
8/10

Bunny’s Maze
An interesting game, with simple gameplay that sometimes complicates, but requires little effort to find a solution.
With 3 different environments and each one with mechanics, this ends up breaking the monotony.
Low price with a few hours of fun, I like that!

The levels are poorly designed. The game is based around switches that alternate blocks. And the problem is that a lot of switch press sequences are forced. That is, you either have acces to only one next switch, or the other switches are very obviously pointless at current step. So most of the levels you spend more time holding down arrow keys than thinking.
Some of the levels (especially in ice world) are broken - you can ignore some of the switches and parts of the level.
There is no restart button too. But you’ll rarely need it.

Lil Big Invasion
Awesome indie game with way enough content to fit the bill. Its kinda like Pikmin except they are trapped in dungeons and you must find and rescue them.
Really loved the sound and the art-style. Dungeons are getting way harder and better later on and the boss fights are fun. It took me some time to get used to the controls tho. Exploration is great IF you figure out how the moths and the worms do work… which is not part of the tutorial :/
It’s cute but challenging and worth the money.

This is a fun little action adventure game, developed by my former colleague Andreas. It’s so cute, but challenging ‘til the last minute and the sounds are really funny, even if the little fireflies sometimes don’t behave as you want them to. But that’s the trick of the game and you’ll soon know how to handle them right in order to crack some highscores. Overall, an awesome game!

Penko Park
Want to go on a weird safari? well then heres a game for you!
Penko park is an exploration game in the vein of Pokemon snap, you sit in a cart and are driven on a tour of the abandoned Penko wildlife park, as you travel through the park you take snapshots of the various animals that inhabit the place, in many ways its like a rail shooter.
Of course theres more to it that simply riding passively through the park, there are numerous collectables to find and alternate paths to open up. And simply finding the various animals isn’t all there is either most will have multiple poses to collect so you have to figure out how to get them in addition to just finding the animal, for the most part this is fairly easy as the interactions involve only the target animal itself, but there are a few situations where things get complex (like using one creature to scare another) its just a shame that there aren’t more of these in the game (like scaring away a predator causing a new creature to come out or something) but I can see how that would be alot more work for such a small team.

It’s Pokemon Snap on Steam.
So, I really liked Pokemon Snap on N64. I know, I know, it’s a game for five-year-olds, but it was so much fun - travel around different locations, keep your eyes peeled, take some good pictures. Well, that’s what this game is… just with the random monsters of a different imagination. It’s kinda weird - this game is quite a bit simpler than Snap, and yet… I think I liked this one more. Heck, the graphics aren’t even up to the Snap level (Snap was 3D, super animated, blah blah blah… This one is hand-drawn-y, simple animations, etc) - and I still think I like this one better. My ONLY disappointment was how quickly I “beat” the game - I’m showing 4.2 hours logged as of writing this, and that was with trying to take my time to enjoy (rather than trying to “steamroll” the game).
