Code Romantic
I am a rank amateur as far as coding goes, so I was excited about the promises this game made at the outset. I didn’t realize it, but I was prepared by previous experiences for there to be a somewhat solid logic problem element, and then a story that was written around the puzzles that, in the end, I probably could have done without.
Code Romantic is not that game! My expectations were blown away and I had a beautiful experience that I think is pretty uncommon: The puzzles served the story, which served the puzzles. I did not prefer one aspect of the game over the other, and in fact they are inextricably linked. So often, I go into games looking to enjoy some puzzles and practically disregard the writing. This game actually made me cry a couple of times.

Disclaimer: I purchased the demo of this game on itch.io but was later asked to test the the final product so my experience was a mix of paid/ free.
Basically this game comes down to - do you want to fall in love while learning to code? For someone like me, who loves romance but also tech and is trying to learn how to code in C### but intimidated- this game is a godsend. No one is creating stuff like this; it is one of a kind. I got to learn to code and read code in the context of a heroic thrilling love story. It is a great mix of challenging with user action and rewarding with story. This game is super fun and fresh. The art and music is fantastic. The story and characters had me swooning, smiling, laughing and gasping like I was a teenager again with a mission, a crush and a bunch of friends and foes.

Word Rescue
I have to question Word Rescue both as an educational tool and as entertainment. It is way too easy to get into an unwinnable scenario since the goo used to incapacitate monsters does not reset on death, becomeing an exercise in frustration as the player can collect a bucket of goo and either intentionally die to respawn with a full meter and an extra bucket to pick up, or, more often than not, use up all of the goo and die to respawn with nothing. It is especially frustrating in episodes two and three as they usually spawn the player surrounded by monsters and mostly consist of very narrow hallways where it is impossible to dodge them to get to a bucket powerup. The game also likes to drop monsters from the sky for some unfair, unavoidable deaths, further exacerbating the problem.

This game is much harder than I remember, and I played it on the highest difficulty. I picked this up in the Apogee pack, most of which I had as shareware when I was a child. I am of course much older than the demographic audience now, and I had a blast with this game when I was a kid. It’s still a very challenging platformer at higher difficulty because the game has quite a bit of depth for players who which to go for the perfect run, The RNG can be a bit unfair at times and the nature of the monsters not moving off screen seems unfair at first, but this can be used to your own advantage when you are out of ammunition. Matching images while spelling out words (much like spelling out NUKEM in Duke Nukem 1&2, it must be in order) still trips me up from time to time. So the game gives you a good amount to keep track of at a higher difficultly. The music is pleasant, and none of it is phoned in. My only complaint is that ‘Orange’, because of the EGA pallet, appears red. Definitly a buy for a young child, and a welcome addition if you are looking for something to trip you up mentally as you try to remember where NOT to drop into a mismatching image, which spoils your run, wastes you ammo, and potentially can kill you.

Distant Memoraĵo
I can’t say it’s the best among all the Yuri game i have played, but it is indeed the mostly anticipated. The characters are so cute.

Distant Memoraĵo presents a dramatic story between Rin and Ruka and a heart-warming past between Ruka and Rei. The beautiful element of The Expression Amrilato series in its narrative is the language barrier that exists to separate Rin from Ruka while highlighting Rin’s homesickness from time to time. Although, you might feel disappointed with the lack of Juliamo lessons which has been one of the main features of the previous installment. Nevertheless, Distant Memoraĵo has beautifully emphasized Rin and Rei’s emotions by putting Ruka as their common interests.

Frog’s Princess
great game, very emotional plot made me cry. ive been depressed for days after finishing this game :(
very well made 10/10 made me laugh a lot too :)

After a troubled launch whereby promised features didn’t work (Text To Speech) meant I, as someone who is visually impaired, coild not use the game. Navigation was impossible.
Finally the issue is resolved and I can finally check out the game.
A game aimed squarely at the younger market telling a tale from both sides of the story. Text To Speech mean the menues are now accessible and the story is fully voiced. Some of the recordings were quieter than others, but overall a reasonable production.

Learn Japanese To Survive! Hiragana Battle
Video Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_r8lC0TTLAE
Japan produces some pretty cool stuff. Some of the best games of the last few decades have been either first released in Japan or exclusively released in Japan. A lot of the times, nice folks who know the Japanese language will translate Japanese games so that we can enjoy them to their fullest. However, that may take a while, if it ever happens at all. Besides, self-reliance is an underrated thing. Now, if you’re a chowderhead like me, then you only know one language, and that’s ‘murcan. But what if you want to broaden your horizons? You could take a Japanese course at school. But only if your school offers it, and if it’s a college course, you may be spending quite a bit of money on the course and books. You could buy Rosetta Stone, but that could cost you up to $200. I don’t know about you, but I’m not a great learner in the normal classroom setting. I’ve tried games before like My Japanese Coach, but I was bored and frustrated soon after starting. I’ve always wanted to learn Japanese, but have never found a way that works for me.

This is a really fun way of putting your lessons of Hiragana to the test.
One thing I do recomend is not using this game alone. This game is no substetute for a real Sensei ;)
Tools I’d recomend. A chart of all Hiragana characters and a small drywipe board for writing practice.
Pracice writing the characters without the game And without looking at your printed chart, then play this game to test how well you’ve done.
If you’re just looking for a gaming experance, then I’m getting my critic hat on so hold tight.
