Typomancer in the Feather’s Way
A very different proposal with a very frantic gameplay this is Typomancer. At first I thought that having to type in the middle of a game would make for a strange experience, but I was totally wrong. The fact of typing brought something quite innovative, where we can have frantic moments when it is necessary to type very fast or even moments when we can prepare for the worst by anticipating typing. I really liked the game’s proposal in combination with the effects. 10/10.

The game has a very nice experience, with a very well polishing done and with a very interesting cost-benefit.

I Know Everything
The questions are okay, although very difficult. The achievements are ludicrous. ‘Get to the top 10 for all players’, or multiplayer victories with a dead playerbase. Nope.

So I picked up this game because I was bored of the games my friend and I usually play every day. It’s not the most polished game, as there are many spelling/grammar errors, but we had fun for 30 or so minutes. My biggest complaint is the difficulty of questions and the limited category choice. Maybe the developer(s) plan(s) to add more categories in the future, that would be nice. If $3 isn’t much to you, I guess it’s worth it for maybe an hour or two maximum of entertainment with a friend.

TAL: Jungle
Really, really “dated”. And it only came out yesterday!
A solid 35.3 MBs of stone-cold un-a-maze-ing mediocrity, that probably would’a bored the bejesus out of eight-year-olds back in the early 80s. Anyone who bothers to play all sixty levels gets a free pass into Heaven when they die, and receives one o' them bright, shiny “halo” thingies as a bonus.
For the rest of us: alright for a half-hour and a handful of Achievements, I guess. And you gotta love a game that only has four buttons to learn (literally WASD to move).

TAL: Arctic 3
Whoa. The innovation. The innovation!
They’ve really changed things up with this one. Not only does the exit move around a bit - where it was once stubbornly fixed to the bottom right-hand corner - but we also have a new mechanic that occasionally limits your vision to a small circle of fire or ice…actually making the series remotely challenging for the first time ever!
Basically, you can’t always see your path to the exit clearly delineated within seconds of the screen loading up…which means trial-and-error on an unprecedented scale! As a bonus, the footprints they made visible in the last game now have meaning…as you can clearly spot where you’ve been, eliminating the need for pointless backtracking (which would have been frankly intolerable, considering the patience that’s required to conquer these games in the first place)!

The Yeti Mazerunner in darkness & under time pressure
TAL:Arctic is a cheap buildt series of maze games in which a Yeti like character tries to find the exit in 60 different levels.If you compare it to the aMaze Series these labrinths are a no-brainer. Sometimes you have to play dark levels and even combined with a very mean timer. It happened to me that I really passed in the last second the mazes. Lots of strees but not really an improvement.

Security Hole
This fucking game. This MOTHERFUCKING GAME. Now this was a remarkable puzzle game. It was easily the most frustrating puzzle game I’ve ever had the pleasure of playing, and I absolutely loved it.
WHAT IT DO :
You have a collection of base shapes, such as cubes or dodecahedrons, which form various larger 3D structures. The object is to rotate this 3D structure such that it can fit into a hole which it is steadily, almost imperceptibly moving towards. Think of it like shining a light at the ground so that your shape makes a certain shadow, and rotating it so that the shadow matches the pattern given. Except there’s a time limit. Or you only have a certain amount of rotation you can perform before it locks up. Or sometimes both of these things. And also each level has multiple phases and they keep adding more and more of the base shape to your object, changing the shadow it can make. Also everything is randomized so you’ll never get the same setup twice. Oh and the boss-mode fights have a second timer you have to beat across all phases, and everything is wireframe and terrible. And also there is a
! secret world, and a secret level to the secret world, and secret mandatory bonus rounds on several of the final puzzles, because fuck you apparently.

Think of this as a kid’s set of fitting blocks, on steroids. Don’t get me wrong, this game is HARD and will test your geometrical/tridimensional perception to the limit.
Don’t be fooled by the game’s first trailer, as it is very misleading. The second trailer is more accurate to what you get.
I won’t lie to you, the game concept is all about testing your geometrical/spatial ability by passing 3D objects through a hole (no, there’s nothing dirty in that sentence). There is some variation to that theme, though. Sometimes you have to do it within a time limit. Sometimes you have to move the object as little as possible but can take as much time as you want. There’s also a mode that shows a blank object with no shadows or other indications of perspective and you’ll have to find the matching object from a set of 4 options. On top of that, each object is composed of smaller units, and these units vary through the game–you start with cubes, then you see dodecahedrons and other units, for a total of 6 different units which will fry your brain while you get used to each of them.
