No Exit : Torments of Hell
You’re a bat who can’t fly - only spider sling. Don’t touch the ground or you’ll die. Simple addicting and at times frustrating - but in the fun way that you’ll want to try again.

Full disclosure: I received this game from the developer because I already own some of their software products.
Quite a deceptively tricky little game. You basically need to go from one end of a level to the next using a grappling hook, but of course as you progress the game throws more challenges. Interface is simple as are the controls, the graphics are good and the sound track varied, and you have a campaign mode and an endless mode to challenge yourself with.

Bananas Academy’s Psyber
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

Bots Are Stupid
A 2D game where you try to maneuver robots through different platforming levels. It sets itself apart from conventional platformers by offering an alternative, more precise way of user input. Instead of directly controlling the character’s movement, the player has to write a set of simple instructions telling his robot what to do. The bot will then follow those instructions precisely and maybe (or maybe not) finish the level.
Beginner-friendly
The commands for the robots are designed to be as simple as possible in order to make the game accessible to anyone. This means that you are not required to have any prior programming/tech knowledge to be able to “program” the bots. The game might also have an educational value by introducing players to the very basics of scripting/programming in a playful way.

Draw IT!
Experienced on the Oculus Quest 2
You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/aALb7xq1NHU
So this is a drawing game that has two different modes. The main mode is your physics puzzler where you draw lines or place blocks to guide the ball through the obstacle course. You have an incentive to draw as few lines as possible to reach a higher score for the leaderboards. The second mode is just a sandbox mode where you can draw.
Unfortunately, I can’t recommend this game because of several issues. One of the biggest issues is the lack of content. There are only 9 levels, which I beat in less than 30 minutes. The second major issue are the poor interactions. You guide the ball through the obstacle course using a virtual joystick that is unwieldy to use. Every interaction in this game is poor and the game just lacks overall polish. It’s also ugly to look at.

Very interesting concept! I would love to see more out of this game going forward. After playing through a few levels, I found the game very relaxing and soothing.

Well, I think most of the people here use the games for the Achievements ( letters, numbers and symbols).
And even if not, the games are definitely good and interesting for the price. 👍

Pretty fun platforming game, haven’t finished it yet but so far it’s really fun

An entertaining platformer that adds new mechanics or obstacles every 5-10 levels. Overall, the game isn’t that difficult and has an appropriate length for the cost, lasting just under 2 hours for myself. A $1 well spent.
