Jones On Fire

Jones On Fire

This is the prequel of Hot Tin Roof…is the game fun? No…i will explain why in a pro/ con style and end with my conlusion.

Pro:

N/A

Con:

The upgrades are extremely grindy. In order to have some fighting chance in later levels you need those upgrades. The upgrades cost an arm and a leg and a vital organ like the heart or brain.

The game has 2 currencies. One is regular cats and the other is golden cats. It is very dumb to do that because gold cats are slow to come across and building up to get a single upgrade is very time consuming and adds to the boredem of the game.

You know, I honestly don’t get what all the hate is about for this game. I think it’s a great time waster. For someone who has a lot of free time, and especially during this summer, boredom can hit pretty hard. And for the past few weeks, that’s what’s been happening. It’s games like this and another game I tend to play in short bursts, Pictopix, that really help get me out of those slumps.

And you may not think that boredom is that big of a deal, but for me it is. It leads me to almost what seems like pseudo-depression. A lot of free time and not knowing what to do with that time. It makes me lose motivation for most things, and just overall suckiness. Games like this, simple one off games that really have very little plot, or intense gameplay, just relaxation, which is rare for games these days, are great for fetting out of these moods. I don’t want to hear about story, or tutorials when I’m trying to be entertained, I just want to play, and this game lets me do that. Even the other game this company has made, Hot Tin Roof (which I also own), has a lot of plot and storytelling, which is fine when you’re in the mood for that. But when you’re looking for something to just pass time with, this game is perfect for that.

Train Train Train

Fairly simple game, fun artstyle and gameplay. Difficult at some points but you can overcome these problems over time.

A lovely cute relaxing puzzle game, that requires building and management of several train station and tracks while also paying attention to not run over any animals.

Great game to pop in and relax for a bit by playing a couple levels.

Theres also a custom editor, so you can create a cute looking hell trainstation for all your friends to “enjoy”.

Looking forward to the sequel ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Also: I like trains :)

EARTH DEFENSE FORCE: WORLD BROTHERS

EARTH DEFENSE FORCE: WORLD BROTHERS

Mother Earth is once again being invaded by mysterious alien forces and the EDF has deployed once more to stop them. Only this time, the invading alien force is the biggest it has been, being comprised of a combination of all previous aliens the EDF have fought against up to now. The aliens have torn Earth asunder with such a brutal opening strike and the EDF has dwindled greatly in number, so now it’s up to YOU, the newly appointed commander of the (remains of the) EDF, to gather up who has survived the catastrophe and valiantly drive back those alien bastards and save Mother Earth.

For fans of EDF this is a great game!

Worth 60$? I absolutely think so.

For newcomers, this is a great place to start as well. The game makes a lot of great QOL changes to the formula that Sandlot should absolutely adopt.

However, it can fall into the same trap as all other EDF games once you try to get to higher difficulties at times.

You either have to grind a mind numbingly large amount of time to get better weapons and armor. (In this game mostly armor since Yukes sees the obviously stupid flaws of Weapon pickup crates in Sandlot’s games. And reduces that grind a ton. Thank you yukes.)

Magicolors

Magicolors

edit: managed to finish the game with some outside help (see the guides section), so added more info about the second half.

magicolors is a fun voxel-based puzzler (think lego or minecraft). playing as a newbie wizard, you have to collect energy by shooting spells through 3 crystals at a time and only of the same color. with enough energy new spells can be unlocked, one in each location for a total of 5 spells, since you start with the basic one.

A fun and not too hard puzzle game. Nice idea and not something I’ve seen before so quite original. It is probably a bit too easy at times even to get 3 stars but that isn’t always bad. I’d like to have seen one more world that was actually a real challenge but as it is it is still a great game and well worth the low price.

Staxel

Staxel

I really want to like Staxel. I know I could love it. But, it’s an agonisingly frustrating experience to play. I don’t feel I’m exaggerating when I say most, if not all, of the game’s content is a good idea implemented in the worst possible way.

Every time I want to do something, I run into a frustration that doesn’t need to be there. There isn’t one major issue. Everything is wrapped up in so many minor issues it’s almost worse. I could deal with some singular huge flaw. But that’s not it. It’s just so universally flawed all over.

Let me start off by saying that Steam really needs to consider a 3rd option when recommending games to people. This game is fun, and I kind of enjoy playing it, but there are some major things (imo) that warrant a “do not recommend” review, or rather a “recommend this game unless…”

Pros:

Graphics: 9/10

The graphics are cute and colorful and the 3D pixel character designs are fun. Some blocks' graphics glitch through other blocks which can sometimes ruin a certain look the player is trying to achieve with his/her build. There’s quite a large selection of blocks to use in your builds, and I’m sure through modding there are vastly more blocks to pick from. You can also rotate some blocks.
