Princess Farmer
Princess Farmer is a match3 puzzle and visual novel game with easy to learn action mechanics and different playstyles that let you breeze through the game or challenge you. All three of the playstyles earn you rewards! The story is played in episodes, much like magical-girl anime, with each lasting between 20 minutes to 1 hour, depending on your chosen playstyle, your skills, and whether you decide to skip dialogue interactions. Different level goals keep you on your toes and bring a fresh approach to the match3 genre. Dialogue options let you choose how Princess Farmer interacts with her friends, affecting your relationships with them. Make them your BFF and they may reward you with gifts!
Princess Farmer was just an ordinary farmer when one day she woke up under the Gaia Tree. Now through the magic of Mother Gaia, she can hoist up whole rows of veggies with ease to make matches and smash obstacles by herself, in co-op, or even with an AI companion! Something mysterious is happening in the woods and it’s your job to puzzle your way to uncover it! You’ll learn about the world around you as you talk and build relationships with the loveable characters including: Mother Gaia, Garlic, Shoppe Keeper Rowan, and even Bot Bunny!
Make combos! Smash rocks! Win hearts!
Action Puzzle Gameplay
It may look like Princess Farmer plays like modern match-3 games but it’s much more strategic and reaction-based, tasking you with character movement and stack management. You can choose to adjust how you approach your strategy to maximize matches, combos, and smashes. Personalize your playstyle: are you an Action Bunny, a Puzzle Bunny, or a Balance between the two? Level goals range from simple (like score, timed, harvest a certain veggie) to challenging (like fulfilling requests, avoiding matching certain veggies, danger areas). Some levels will pit you up against a (pretty adorable) opponent. But watch out for storms! That’s when Grumpy Block shows up to spoil all your harvesting fun!
Play with a Friend
Sure harvesting is fun by yourself, but why not invite a friend? You can harvest together and even make dialogue choices together as you explore world. With Steam’s Remote Play Together, you don’t even have to be in the same house!
Collect Unlockables
As you play, you’ll earn Heart Coins which you can give to Ro at the Shoppe to collect different Hare Dyes. Charm the characters with dialogue options to unlock new outfits so you can harvest in style!
Charming Graphics
It’s cute! It’s bouncy! It’s pink! It’s retro! It’s BUNNIES!
Vibrant Soundtrack
Produced by Astra, the soundtrack is bubbly, blending chiptunes with lo-fi beats.

Castles
Awesome puzle game, with fancy and colorful graphics, fun and addictive. It has a simple gameplay (match-3) but doesn’t get boring with bosses every 10 levels that slightly changes the mechanics and multiple possible combinations (materials or the tools above the blocks). If the 50 level story mode isn’t enough, there is a versus mode if you have a friend or brother/sister to play with, and a survival mode where you can try to break your records.

Flipon
What’s new if this type of game has been already done to death?
-
Cute silly story which you don’t need in order to play (kinda appropriate for kids)
-
Some extras which make it more enjoyable than open or free games in the same vein
-
Game modes always challenging you and pushing you to the next level
-
Nice audio tracks
-
Overall sense of action and a feeling of joy
What’s bad with it?
Not much that I can say. I have enjoyed lots of hours of casual play and have already achieved whatever I supposedly wanted from it. There’s some replayability value but I’m already done at 12 hours (check my status and you’ll see if I reinstalled and kept playing later on).

Review from a Hardcore Tetris Attack/Planet Puzzle League Player
When I saw this on sale, it was an instant buy! I was jonesing to flip some panels like back in the old days! As someone who played an unhealthy amount of Tetris Attack/Panel De Pon and Planet Puzzle League when I was younger, I can honestly say that I got my money’s worth here. If you’re familiar with the formula of those games, you’ll feel right at home here, and at the asking price, it’s honestly a steal!

Fairy Lands: Rinka and the Fairy Gems
Edit- This game is actually kinda fun. I would reccomend it I guess
It was like 27 cents with a coupon so like even if it isnt that good I was able to get it with the pocket change that had been sitting in my steam account for 5 months.
Other than that I guess its kinda fun. Its the kinda thing a mom would play before internet was widespread.
The music is actually kinda good. I would make fun of the art but I may as well be making fun of my own art, I mean just look at my profile picture like damn separated at birth.

Nice title, isn’t it?
Rinka is, or better was I think, a Japanese fashion model quite famous here too, or at least in the Wapanese community of my old university ten years ago.
Not that this has something to do with this game, anyways..
If you’re not new to Steam, you’ll see that if a game like this has a completion rate of 20% or more even for the rarest achievements well, it isn’t really that difficult :P
Here the range goes from 26% onwards of the overall players..
The game costs more than 2€, but can always be found on sale I think.

Veccol
Veccol is an arcade puzzle game where blocks of different color and size falls from the top. Match three or more of the blocks in any direction to clear them. When cleared, any block above the line will fall down, allowing for new matches. Set up these cascading line-clears to earn extra points.
After certain amounts of line-clears, you will advance in level, causing the falling speed to increase. At certain levels, the difficulty will also change, adding more potential colors to the mix.
Puzzle Patrol
NOTE: This review is only for the Zen mode at this time. I will add more to this review when I play the other modes more.
An absolutely engaging puzzle game that is very simple: match 3 or more of the same color “monster” and then hit them again to make them disappear. Do this multiple times in a row quickly to complete what I would call a “chain”. The more “chains” you do, the more points you get because the “chain” number equals the multiplier. The objective is to score the most number of points as quickly as you can.

Needs more ways to reward large clears, not just combos! Still, pretty good - although TotalBiscuit would be mad about this game - “a PC match-3 game without mouse support” (as he once said about Frozen Steam version)

Fat Mask
I played the game a bit during the beta stage of the game and this is what I think. Fat Mask is a really fun brawler type local multiplayer game minus the brawling. Sounds weird, I know, but it has the feel of a brawler in the free for all mode except minus violence (unless you want to count shooting a cube at another players face, causing him to bounce around like crazy). There’s also a solo/co-op mode, where you work together to try to get as high a score as possible. But sometimes, it’s nice to try to best your friends in the free for all mode when you’re feeling competitive. In both game modes, there’s actually more depth to the gameplay than you would imagine at first - when you learn how to steal combos, combine combos, grab other’s cubes midair, etc, you start to really feel this. The only thing that irks me is that when you have your finger off the left stick and shoot a block, it goes in the last direction you pointed the stick, but I expect it to go to my avatar’s forward. I’ve missed some combo closing because of this, but I more or less got used to it by now

I have received this product for free, but it won’t change my overall idea, nor that it will influence my opinion in any way.
TLDR; Look for ‘‘Overall’’ bellow
Puzzle-Brawler does describe Fat Mask pretty well.
Let me summarize: There is 2 main game mode: Solo/Coop and Free for all.
In the solo/coop mode, you have to build block combos before a time limit (represented by 2 red ‘‘walls’’ that close on the screen. Once they touch it’s time out). As soon as you do a combo, the ‘‘walls’’ withdraw themselves a bit. The greater the combo is, the wider the walls will open. This can be played with friends: Building the biggest combo using teamwork.

Metacell: Genesis ARCADE
Metacell: Genesis turns Puzzle Bobble on its head and creates a wonderfully polished Arcade game that will have you frantically scanning the board for the next color match to keep your combo going.
The soundtrack is stellar, packing a lot of intensity. The art is precise, and does a good job of keeping cells visually separate through both iconography and color.
When reaching the later levels of the game, I feel like there could be more potential for comeback outside of bomb usage and the powerup that clears all of one color. If you fall too far behind around level 70+, all you can really do is stand there and lose all your lives. It might be cool if getting hit had a bomb effect? That’d open up the option to take hits on purpose at different parts of the board to try and find your footing again.

This game brings back a lot of memories playing arcade shooter games where you’re trying to get/keep the highscore in the entire arcade. It’s fun and is definitely one of those games I can play to pass the time or put down whenever I need to do something or take a break, but I can definitely get addicted and sucked in trying to go for the number 1 spot.
The game seems simple at first but progresses well once you’ve broken past level 20. The thing I wish it showed though would be my current score played along with my highscore or even a scoreboard of my personal runs, because I don’t always pay attention to my score or level when I get further and further into the levels. The personal run scores would be nice to have for local play with friends to see where they stand too.

Moving Letters
short and simple
– Real player with 0.5 hrs in game
A very short game of dragging the alphabet tiles to make the word based on the image or symbol given at the bottom of the tiles. You will be given an option after a few minutes to reveal the answer if you don’t know the answer. It’s a short fun game but the dragging is a bit lagging and possibly slot the tile to the unintended position. The timer for the online mode is a bit suicidal to me.
There is still a room of improvement for this game especially the tile-dragging part. Also, if you want to choose a different language, it will take quite some time because you have to keep clicking the flag until you get what you want. It will be fun if they come out with categories and each category has 50 words. Or swap words to make a sentence based on a series of images or symbols.
