Aurora Hex - Pattern Puzzles
aurora hex is similar to the developer’s previous game, aurorabound deluxe . you’re trying to recreate colorful patterns in both, but in this game you’re bothering hexagons instead of squares. it is also somewhat similar to loop .

Visually pleasing minimalist puzzler.
Almost same genre as jigsaw puzzles, but feels different.
UI & Visuals seem a bit more refined than the first title, while retaining a similar feel to play. :)
(Currently up to late World 1, out of 20 worlds, at time of review.
Also has Daily puzzles to unlock & Infinity mode to unlock)

Coloree
Coloree is a relaxing puzzle game with a very familiar mechanic that I have never seen in a puzzle game before: left-click and drag a box to change the color of everything in the box. The puzzles are increasingly challenging but the aesthetics and the sounds keep the relaxing theme going the whole time.
The reason that the mechanic is familiar is because it’s what we do in an operating system or a game when we want to select multiple things- brilliant! However, this game requires some novel thought processes when thinking about strategies to solve puzzles and it’s easy to get lost in the gameplay. The music and sounds are mostly from a marimba (Google it- it’s a giant xylophone), which plays a big part in setting the ambiance.

A good guessing game in which you have to find the correct sequence of crystals. It was nice to turn off my brain for a while and forget about the problems haha

Hexagourds
Hexagourds is a casual, relaxing builder and puzzle game where you place tiles on a grid to make your own pumpkin patch! Grow pumpkins, feed animals, and pick apples as you gain points for rotating, placing and connecting different tiles.
A personal message from the dev
If you’re in love with the fall season or are in need of a relaxing game to distract you from the stressful day-to-day activities of life, then Hexagourds is definitely for you. This game has no winning or losing. You play at your own pace, gaining points for placing tiles wherever you want. You place some pumpkins here, some goats there, and haybales everywhere. This game was meant to be played on a chill, autumn Sunday morning with a coffee next to you. I hope you try it out and enjoy the game.
For those more strategically inclined, there is definitely some strategy involved with maximizing points. I’ve added dailies and a mutliplayer scoreboard if you want to show the rest of the community your sweet score in Hexagourds. But that’s all up to you.
This game offers you:
-
Chill and relaxing gameplay
-
Fun mix of a tile-matching, puzzle, and builder game
-
Lovely fall/autumn vibes!
-
Many different tiles to play and unlock (each tile can have a combination of unique fall-themed items)
-
Simple, elegant low poly art style with relaxing music
-
A beautiful pumpkin patch that you create
-
Daily puzzles and online scoreboards
This game doesn’t have:
-
Violence/Fighting
-
Multiplayer
-
Background Story
-
Resource Gathering/Harvesting
-
Microtransactions
-
Dragons
Just me, David Dalisay, the solo game developer on Hexagourds. I don’t mind being solo! But I love to collaborate with other devs and other gamers.
Happy Fall-idays!
Leaf on Wind
A relaxing game though not without its challenges. The scenery helps create a cathartic atmosphere while you breeze about piecing together some pretty poetry. Good for a casual gamer to chill out to.
Looking for a game to de-stress with after work or between more intense games? Check out Rouem’s Leaf on Wind.

It’s a Flower clone of sorts. Expected it to be before I bought it though. Except this time instead of flower petals, it’s a single leaf.
Your aim in this game is to go around collecting glowing square thingies in order to make up a poem in each level. Kinda expected something MORE akin to Flower, but I’ll take it. Still a decently chill game to play. The OST is also nice.
That SAID however, after you finish the first 6 levels, to play more of the game, you need do those 6 levels AGAIN but without touching anything. Just feels more like a chore than anything. I gave up at the “repeated” third level, because the wind is just ridiculous and works against you and it’s annoying (and the controls don’t help either, since they aren’t the most fluid thing ever (though not “bad” either)). No offense, but it just takes away from the “relaxing” factor and feels like forced replayability. I’m not a fan of that. Will either push myself to see the rest of the game at some point soon or refund the game, haven’t really decided yet. But yeah, I’m very in the middle with this one tbh.

Long Ago: A Puzzle Tale
july 2021 edit: 16 new levels and some more quality of life.
long ago: a puzzle tale is an excellent ball-rolling/sliding game. technically the former, but since it’s wall-to-wall movement, the latter also applies. you’ll find signs that change the ball’s direction, pressure plates, portals, and various things to activate or deactivate to reveal more things to collect. no timing elements, it’s completely turn-based.

A nice and relaxing casual puzzle game, with beautiful art and music, based on the classic roll the ball until it stops mechanic. Many elements come into play with each level, creating ingenious and challenging puzzles. The twist on top of the addiction of finishing levels with all 3 stars, is the narrated and voiced story behind the game. With each level you unlock more of it, revealing more of the adventure of our princess.

Bombing!!: A Graffiti Sandbox
If you are the type of person who will just doodle in empty spaces, I think you will enjoy this game. There are a few things I think could be improved, but nothing that has stopped me from enjoying it.
– Real player with 17.3 hrs in game
I really love this game. I think this is maybe one of the only good non VR graffiti games. I like the mechanics and the art style a lot but it still needs a ton of work.
Some things I noticed are
1.there are holes in the spraycan texture so you can see through it in some spots
2.there is no way to jump so you have to get the ladder for small details
3. the color selection is kind of limited and there are no normal variants of neon purple and pink
One more thing I would like to see is some kind of paint roller for painting big backgrounds.

Cozy Grove
I love this game, and if you like games like Animal Crossing you will probably like it too.
It is a cute little game which allows you to help out ghosts by fulfilling the tasks they give you.
You also build a camp for yourself, take care of animals, harvest plants and flowers, decorate the island etc.
Everyday you get a few tasks and some things you can harvest, but after those are done you may have to wait till tomorrow to get new ones, so the game is more of a gradual story and a slow burn (which I like a lot because I do not have the time for major games at the moment).

A lovely game with interesting new ideas, stymied by poor design decisions that make it a chore. If you like Stardew Valley type games, and don’t mind the restrictions usually found on mobile, it could be for you.
Good:
-
Interesting characters, a slow burn unravelling of their stories
-
A nice ‘illumination’ mechanic whereby helping spirits each day lights up the area and enables resource harvesting. Feels rewarding and like you’re making progress.
-
Lots of outfits and recipes to collect for collector / crafter types
