Mushroom Crusher Extreme
To put it simply, Mushroom Crushers is an arcade style game, with interesting and unique mechanics and powers. The levels are actually well paced and are bite-sized in terms of time - The spells and enemies are introduced overtime for a sense of progression, and the variety of islands is a very nice touch.
I am still enjoying the game at this time of review, as the content this game offers is well executed, ensuring that your experience will be engaging and challenging, without becoming repetitive or needing to rely off of gimicks. There are several hours of game play to be had as well, and it is very much worth the price for the fun you can have and the replay value.

Curse of the Dead Gods
For the people coming from hades i recommend to temper your expectations. I just completed the game 100% and that took 32 hours in the game file. This is alot less than hades, but this flaw is only for completionists. Not every game must have over houndreds of hours of playtime. Curse of the Dead Gods is fine alternative to hades. You need to be more precise with dodges and parries. You cant just button mash like hades, but when u memorise all different attack patterns it becomes second nature looking out at different enemies and waiting to weave a parry in your attack combo.

Most comparable to Hades, but with more planning and knowledge involved with how you approach enemies as opposed to high-octane energy simulation. Personally, I enjoy Curse of the Dead Gods more, but both are good games with similar control schemes.
Both are rogue-lites, but whereas Hades as more direct upgrades to Zagreus, Curse of the Dead Gods lets you better control your run (IE: More rerolls, starting equipment selection).
For more specific details, it’s a top-down action rogue-lite, where your objective is to clear temples, with their own enemies, champions (2 per temple, minibosses), and the avatar. Later, you unlock the final temple, which mixes them together for you to test your knowledge and intuition in a way that’s incredibly satisfying. Your expectations of how you handle a situation are consistently challenged by what truly plays out, and your skill progression is especially apparent during these events.

IGEO DX
Casual But Challenging
Casual in it’s approach but punishing in it’s execution, IGEO DX is a fun and rewarding Sokoban-style puzzle game. Mechanically simple but challenging, players will push and combine like-shapes to solve increasingly complex spatial and logic puzzles.
The goal is simple: clear the board. To remove shapes from the board players will have to push two of the same shape together. Combining shapes can have different effects - combining unlike shapes results in a game over.
However, It’s not always so simple! With pits and walls, the player must move precisely to keep from falling off the board or trapping a shape in a tough spot.
Movement and Logic
IGEO DX thrives on challenging players' abilities to think forward and navigate the steps it will take to clear a level. As the game advances, special tiles and obstacles present additional adversity in moving and completing levels.
Whether you’re slipping on Ice Tiles or engaging Switches to power Doors, you could be one move away from victory or failure.
Beware the Virus
Various tiles in the game are infected by a dangerous virus. Moving into these tiles will infect the player causing their movement to be capped at 10 tiles before they succumb to the disease and fail the level.
Good news, though - there are Curing Tiles ready and waiting to remove that dastardly infection and keep you scooting on!

TL:DR No regrets, just not good game. Kinda pretty tho. Lost my interest after the first couple hours. Review made on Patch 1.2.0.0.24
Ok, so It took me 32.4 hours to beat this game in nightmare mode, I’m Brazilian so giving up is kinda hard. I do not consider myself to be a good isometric Rogue-like player, despite really liking the genre, but I’m going to put my review here.
First of all I bought it because I really appreciate new Brazilian games and I will buy them whenever I think they are cool, É nois mlk S2.

Gauntlet of IRE
I loved a lot of this game. It’s quirky, its got lots of gags, the gameplay is simple and yet very frustrating. But it also has a lot of issues.
First of all, like other players have said, there should be a content warning for the “Baby come back” level. It’s messed up. I normally don’t have an issue when something is trying to mess with me in a game but that went way too far especially because the person is trying to play a casual game. Better yet, skip the content warning and just get rid of the hanging and the terrible messages.

I was streaming and had someone whom I later found out to be the developer of this game offer it to me for free. I agreed and immediately downloaded it. I was leary from the start at the idea of a free game being peddled to me, but ever the adventerous one I agreed and began to play in stream.
I was immediately captivated by the intergration of twitch into the game, something I had never seen done. With the very simplistic style of the game I figured that I was in for a quick short game and I would be off the hook. An hour later I found myself chatting with the developer in my stream and truly enjoying this gem of a game. It is extremely simple and overcomplicated at the same time with new challenges around every corner.

Isotiles - Isometric Puzzle Game
Honestly, a fun and cute puzzle game. Got a 10% off coupon from a badge and had no idea what to expect. What I got was a set of 50 challenges, some pretty easy, some a little bit difficult (but not impossibly so). If you’re looking for a simple brainteaser then this is a good bang-for-your-buck. But I’d say pass it if you’re looking to jack your blood pressure up and pull your hair out over a puzzle.
Overall, I liked it. I loved the light music (that you can turn off if you don’t want it, don’t worry) and the cute little block. Not sure if the replay value is high, but for a game that’s 2 bucks it’s worth the hour of fun.

A good game if you like wasting time with something that literally would be found on a site like coolmathgames FOR FREE!
Basic plot synopsis:
You play as buzz light year(moar liek buzz tight rear) turned into a cube for some unexplained reason in a twisted nightmare in which he must step on squares for all of eternity in this freak reality. That’s basically it, buzz must step on all squares in order to advance to the next monotonous level in which the controls are an even greater threat than solving the “puzzles” if you could call them that. The controls are often the cause of mess ups, I would find myself going in a direction I didn’t even intend to but you do get used to it eventually. Yeah, this game isn’t worth two dollars and I got it steeply discounted from a coupon. It’s not worth it.

-
The game offers up some new gimmicks along with the old: trapdoors, portals tandem pieces, board flipping, 4 different colors for pieces, and tandem switches.

Not great, but good considering the cheap price
This sequel retains all the mechanics of the first game, while adding 3 new ones which happen to make it significantly harder than its predecessor. These mechanics are:
1. vanishing tiles: tiles which disappear once they are no longer occupied after being activated;
2. linked pieces: some knights have a light on the back of their necks. The light can be in 3 possible positions: top, middle or bottom of the neck. When you move a knight with a light, others with the same light pattern will copy its movement, as long as there is an available tile for them to move to.
