“Columns…a reference to a very old match 3 puzzle game that this game emulates in no way, shape, or form…”

This is much less a game, than it is, a way to unwind and chill, maybe needle out some emotions.

Well, I say that, but, it is only mostly so, because A-Eye, the main interactive persona, the one ‘controlling everything’, does make it harder at some point, and the chill factor drops until one can pass it, and get the apology waffle.

This is mostly a medium of popular references. Olympics, sports, video games, hobbies, academics&trivia, and even a nod or two towards the likes of authors that wrote about humanity’s downward spiral, though no names are directly mentioned, I definitely got some vibes of George Orwell, to name one.

This is a very simple, 2d game, that in terms of gameplay isn’t extremely exciting but it’s 100% worth just for the story itself. I randomly found this game yesterday and decided to install it, not really expecting much from it. But, the more you “press any button”, the more you get immersed in this story and relate to this cute little character called A-Eye, who, if you are anything like me, you will just want to hug and tell everything is going to be ok, by the time the game is over.

Don’t want to spoil the game too much, but if you have an hour to spare (probably less than that), you should give this game a go. It’s a rollercoaster of emotions.

The Un-BEATable Game

The Un-BEATable Game

Dear (hopeful) Future Player,

This is The Un-BEATable game, a pretty challenging game that I dare you to try to beat.

In this bullet hell done right, you are not meant to only dodge the bullets ad Infinitum, rather you are meant to grab the bullets, or in this case notes, that are being shot at you, to then absorb to shoot back onto the enemies. will be tasked to grab the notes shot by the enemies and grab them to shoot them back at your enemies. And did I mention that the notes shot at you are the actual notes of the music playing in the background? Forget about enemies throwing a screen full of notes for no apparent reason!

WoW! Excellent! Congrarulations for this great idea and work you have done!

Very nice to see the building as (we believe) it was in the Minoan times.

Very good narrations in greek/english that binds us with the history of the plase.

But there is a problem with some door openings that appear lower than the eye-view and is not possible to pass through.

It’s a unique auto generated game. Missons tend to be often very similar but there is always different glitches. A unique touch I saw was each auto generated game has it’s own little backstory for why your playing the “game” like every video game. The only glitch I see is with the flying mission which is if you try to barrell roll it doesnt work then u cant shoot and in shooting as planes sometimes if u die u never respawn/get the restart u should. Through the ramble I would say it’s a good time killer if you just want good casual fun to kill stress tho some of the hard mode glitches uggh lol I’d wait for a discount but like $15 vs th e current $20

I really wanted to like and recommend this game, but I cannot.

On the surface, the idea sounds great. Mix and match pieces of different retro games/genres and play through whatever wackiness gets created.

In reality, the game overall fails to deliver. Individual mashes take at most 10 minutes to play through, but rarely did I ever spend that much time in any one “game”. Instead, some are so easy (even on a hard setting) that you’re in and out in a matter of 30 seconds or less. The game description even calls out that some mash ups easy to win, some will be impossible. That’s acceptable given the premise.

Strange but wonderful, dreamlike then nightmare “ish” very surreal and will have you thinking about what you have seen afterwards, highly recommend watching this!!

I am hoping at some point that this might go on sale as would love to show it to others that won’t be around to see it before the time limit expires.

This is a 24 or 28 minute depending on whether you choose the concise story or exploration mode. It is a mostly artistic, cinematic experience with few interactions running on the Unity Engine. It’s also a LIMITED TIME SCREENING. This app will expire on October 15, 2020. So if you’re interested in this artistic experience, do not delay.

I recommend the exploration mode as it is the same experience, but with a bit more time to take in some of the scenes. You can fly around the scenes and enjoy some of the details more in the exploration mode with the added time. I also recommend not watching any videos of this before playing it yourself. This is about the director’s childhood memory during Taiwan’s martial law period, but it can be enjoyed by anyone with an interest in art. You don’t have to know anything about the history of Taiwan to enjoy this experience.

The Tool

The Tool

A relaxing and educational casual puzzle game. Create your own combinations of world objects, watch and run simulations, create new messages and share your creations with other players. Receive packages from the cloud and unbox it.

The basic concept of the game is the endless equipment. The program screen allows you to interact with living and plant objects, planetary systems and microscopic chemical structures. In the Game you create unique combinations of these objects and launching it in the gravitational dance, then you can name the resulting kits. You can collect the word packages into statements and share them through the Internet cloud. You can download other people’s messages and make colorful unpacking.

The game concept is a reinforcement of the human tools and a simulation of progress through additivity. Such a principle of knowledge contradicts The law of conservation of mass and can eventually uncontrollably destroy the ecosystem of human world. This game is a warning about this scenario.

Often we are not able to understand the scale of what is happening, neither at the macro nor micro levels. The additive accumulation of tool properties does not always increase its characteristics. In general, the possibility of exchanging ready-made tools via the Internet and the use of saved instruments in other enlarged meta-instruments will allow us to visualize the basics of human epistemology.

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!! This game is one of the best sandbox games I have ever played in my life!! (and trust me, I’ve played a lot of sandbox games in the past).

First of all, I think it’s the only sandbox game that is based around raytracing and that’s an amazing idea in my opinion!

Secondly, for a brand new early access game, I find that there are already many creative possibilities and it will only get better!

third, this guy is alone! Yes you heard me right, it’s only one person who designed this masterpiece and for only one person, it really stands out.
