WordKiller

This game is a educational game. I have taken a long time to think about some great ideas and make them all come true.

It is so simple and fascinating. If you want to learn ENGLISH words or CHINESE words while playing, this game is best for you!

features:

This game can help you learn either English words or Chinese words in a funny way. As we all know, reciting words is the basis of learning a new language. But it is a long and boring process to recite words. That is why this game come out to you!

From what I saw in the intro video, I thought that it is a pretty simple but straight forward low-poly game; it does exactly what it promises. Then I was really surprised as I saw this was done by one person only! (Pls upvote if you also recognized that).

To the game; seeing that there are already base dialogs, base locations, and aims to provide a real-world experience I can see there is a huge potential for its future. Yes, the dialogs and words are a bit off, but I’m personally ok with that since this is an early access version, and also the game author mentioned it.

This game is really cool for sure, the Czech translations are off sometimes, like the windows in the house are supposed to be “okno” but instead they’re “dobře ne” which kinda means like “not good” I don’t know why, maybe the translation is just missing. many of the interactions to help people don’t work, and some of the conversations are a bit weird, maybe one of the more common languages are better like German or Spanish, but I haven’t started learning German yet, and I won’t be starting for a little while. overall I like it a lot, I would recommend this game to anyone who wants to learn languages, but I would recommend knowing a bit about the language first. I do look forward to seeing the future updates for this game, it really does have potential.

I saw the trailer for this and was intrigued at the idea of teaching someone the fundamentals of programming while being a puzzle based 2D platformer game. Played it for 1 hour and let my 12yo niece play it afterwards. She finished all the 4 chapters (4 chapters available in the game as of writing this review) and she wanted more. I was fascinated how the game kept her engaged and had her attention throughout. Being an Indie developer myself I want to support up and coming developers. I can see how good concepts like these shouldn’t be compared to titles from established developers. Truly nice work and idea on the part of this developer for bringing this concept into fruition. Looking forward to the future expansive updates or possibly new titles on this concept soon.

Okay, so first of all I’d like to start with what I liked in the product.

1. This is a very cool concept of teaching programming. I am a competitive programmer myself I regularly

attend monthly challenges in websites like Codeforces and Codechef. I remember how I struggled to learn the fundamentals of programming as none of my school text books had a proper exposure to build a base towards coding.

2. Game is buttery smooth even in my Intel HD 5500.

Here’s what I saw in the product which I feel needs more attention

Simple puzzle game, sure, but it was fun and I did enjoy my playthrough. 50 levels is a tad bit short and I did accidentally restart a couple times, but overall not bad for a quick puzzle fix.

This is a nice jigsaw puzzle game that only costs a couple dollars. There are 80 pictures to choose from, but only a few of the pictures are really attractive. You can also choose how many pieces you want to be in the puzzle. Glass Masquerade is the only other jigsaw puzzle game I have seen that I like a lot more than this.

Passionate game for a boring hour or two. Don’t let the first levels' difficulty fool you, it gets really tricky at the end. I believe it has potential for more levels. Overall it is a nice puzzle game: clean visuals, clear mechanics and provoking puzzles. Ps: Foget rules of real world electricity, colored current is fun!

Game is a neat little puzzle game. Unlike the first game that seemed to drop some concepts, this game introduces most of its concepts early on and then develops on them as the game goes on. The last puzzle stomped me for a little bit but by that point it’s like puzzle inception (or puzzleception if you’re nasty), a puzzle inside a puzzle inside a puzzle and so on. Overall I just wished there were more puzzles but I still enjoyed it and thought it was pretty good and well worth the money. Definitely give this one a go.

Zen Chess: Blindfold Masters

Zen Chess: Blindfold Masters

Game has mistakes at least in 126 and 149 levels.

Real player with 7.2 hrs in game

Beautiful minimalist chess game, which challenges you not only solve the level but tests your memory capacity as well. It is challenging at start but, when you realize how to play, the experience is very immersive. Relaxing soundtrack, a trademark of Zen Chess series, makes a great overall experience. You must give it a try!

Zen Chess: Champion’s Moves

It’s okay, and sort of what I expected. I like the music, I like how you have the option to change the pieces & the coloring of board. I like how it occasionally mentions something about the game or the famous chess dude. It’s all very pretty. However, the colossal flaw is not showing you the entirety of the mating sequence. It just says you solved the puzzle & on to the next one, without showing you the end result. I want to see it play out the rest of the moves until checkmate is achieved (especially if it is a mate in 10 or more). What the developer could do is just put the entire game in each puzzle and let you scroll through the move list. That would make this game (& all of the Zen chess puzzles) soooooo much better. Ugh..frustrating! But okay, I grudgingly give it a thumbs up because I think these exercises will improve your chess game & I sort of like it.

What can i say, i liked Zen chess mate in 1, 2,3 and 4 moves. For 0.51 cents on sale i would say this a good deal on Zen Chess Champion moves. But i feel as if there are too many errors in the chess moves. On board #47 there is an illegal move made by the game. You can not put the kind in check but that is what it did. There are several boards you can finish with better moves but the game is inflexible. It feels wrong some how. Or maybe my chess skill is too high as the game is not really a challenge for me. I feel that this game is a miss somehow, it should of been better.

Zen Chess: Mate in Four

There are some really good exercizes in here for developing calculation skills (as long as you calculate the entire puzzle to the end before moving even 1 piece. no matter how long the puzzle takes). However, some of the puzzles have more than 1 answer and the puzzle only accepts the one that it is programmed to accept. Which is annoying some times. Only noticed it on about 4 of the puzzles.

Worth noting. The game description on the store page say’s there are 50 puzzles, but there are 100.

Zen Chess: Mate in One

ಠ_ಠ A decent minimalist chess puzzler, but it has significant sticking points.

I picked up Zen Chess: Mate in One when its bundles went on sale. While I definitely got my 59 cents worth out of this game, I can’t recommend picking it up for full price after going fully through the experience. If you’re serious about learning, you’re probably better with lichess.org .

You’ll practice many of your chess skills to get through this game.

75/100 Fun but lacks depth.

The game comprises 300 mate-in-one puzzles that I got through in 2.9 hours. They are nicely chosen/well constructed puzzles that would be a fantastic learning aid for someone newer to the game who is keen to improve their skills, and are a fun set of puzzles for more experienced players. I enjoyed it.

A few suggestions for improvement:

-firstly the music is really jarring, a volume control would be a great addition (there is just a mute button).

-secondly as soon as you solve, it immediately jumps to the next puzzle. It would be nice if there were an option for a mode where each puzzle pauses after you solve, to reflect on the puzzle and solution, eg displaying the unsolved puzzle, with the chess notation for the move now added on the side (with eg ability to press space to go to next puzzle).
