Kick it, Bunny!

Kick it, Bunny!

The first impression upon entering this game is that of being on vacation, beautiful beaches, fine sand, deck chairs for sunbathing, green lawns with flowers, and crystal clear waters.

Everything is well reproduced in a cartoon style full of details and marked colors, even the sound of the water when you swim is pleasant; everything is accompanied by nice music that makes the environment more sparkling.

PLAYABILITY

The aim of the game is to reassemble figures using square blocks of stone, of various shapes, at your disposal you will only have your bunny paws, you cannot lift them and carry them in your arms, so you will have to kick to move them, with your foot left push them with the right turn them.

The game is pretty cute and the multiplayer option is a big plus. The puzzles can be kind of hard though, still, it’s a fun casual game!

Mahjong Match

Awful. I love Mahjong solitaire, this isn’t even that. It’s just a tile matching game that doesn’t even follow the same rules, and no matter how I change the settings, the whole board is never in view. This is just a bad port of a mobile game. Avoid and save your pennies

This game is fantastic. It’s a roguelike, not quite like instant death, but in that, you can potentially end up in a crushing amount of debt based on how crappy of a captain you are. But if you are an excellent decision-making-capitalist-smuggling-hacker, you can dig yourself out of any hole you might find yourself in this game. Besides, you can always just start a new game.

There’s a bit of a learning curve, but it’s not that hard to read the Help tips and what Falcon tells you to do. I like the fact that it has its own way of doing things. The game itself is like an operating system mainframe. It reminds me of FTL and a bit of the old school PC Sim City that had all those secret text-based codes!

I really enjoy this game, but it’s not for everyone, especially people who only play modern games. This game is purposely trying to appear as a classic Commodore 64 game. That alone makes it interestingly enough to pick up. The art seems perfect for the tone of the game, which is somewhat silly in places while still never overshadowing the rest of the game.

The reason its not for gamers who only play contemporary games is because it almost too perfectly emulates a C64 game you picked up from a garage sale with no manual. It provides almost no instruction of what to do or how to do it. The first 10 minutes are going to be spent trying to figure out how to leave the hangar. You’ll be flying around slowly putting together what does what and where you need to do what in. Heck, there isn’t even any auto-save (at least, none that I have found).

JENTRIX

JENTRIX

Meet Jentrix! This game was inspired by the famous board game and combines the very best of Jenga, match-3 and Tetris. And it’s all packed in Virtual Reality!

We are pretty sure you know the classic Jenga, but what if instead of wooden blocks there would be colorful fruit cubes, the towers would grow every second, and crocodiles would try to bite your hands?

Jentrix mixes different sets of mechanics from everyone’s favorite games. Jenga provides its well-known look of the tower and tests your physical and mental skills. Match-3 brings its popular 3-in-a-row portion, while Tetris vibes will put you to the edge as the tower grows.

Curious Expedition

Curious Expedition

The Curious Expedition is yet another Kickstarter-spawned entry into the ever-growing field of Rogue-Likes, but with a refreshing new twist. This time around, the player takes on the role of a small party of 19th-Century explorers engaged in a gentleman’s wager - to travel the world on six concurrent expeditions, competing to see who can gain the most fame. It’s a fairly quick and lethal game, but that’s exactly what it’s meant to be - a good way to kill a few hours at a time, running expedition after expedition off to their doom.

The Short Pitch

TCE is one of the best games in its class, a Roguelike-inspired strategy/adventure game that will leave you wanting more. Easy enough to beat several times in one day if you’re dedicated, yet hard enough to make every victory feel like you clawed your way to it from the depths of hades.

If you’re looking at this game and you’re even half sure you want it, get it. If looking at it fills with you a warm and gooey sense of longing for the hours spent huddled around CRT monitors taking turns playing The Oregon Trail, buy it. Even if you’re a more modern gamer, but you’re a fan of FTL, Caves of Qud, the Binding of Isaac, or similar, buy it.

Dorfromantik

Dorfromantik

Relaxing, at times quite challenging and very, very addictive. When this game first came out I was instantly obsessed. The mechanics are simple enough… Match up the tiles with field to field, house to house, forest to forest and so on, but even in your first round you will notice that this task is harder than it seems. You have to plan ahead and watch your pile of tiles, because before you know it, you have none left. To make sure you keep the game going you complete build-quests attached to tiles in your pile or found in the surrounding area as your landscape grows bigger. They require a certain amount of connecting tiles, either asking for a very specific number or anything above. You can also get tiles back when you perfectly match all the sides of a tile. The thrill of the hunt for a new high score keeps me up most nights.

Real player with 122.9 hrs in game

Dorfromantik is puzzle game: You are given a stack of 50 tiles (where each side can be forest, farmland, empty, buildings, water, or traintracks). Some tiles give you quests (i.e. link up 50 buildings to this hex) which give you 5 tiles when completed. Some quests also drop a flag when completed, which gives you 5 more tiles if you block off that quest type (i.e closing the forest region off). You also can get 1 tile if you place a hex perfectly (i.e. each side is touching another hexside with the same stuff in it).The goal of each game is to play until you run out of tiles. The game has objectives, some of which are always counting, some of which only count if it is one of the three objectives given at the start of each game. If you complete those objectives you unlock unique tiles (i.e. a windmill hex where all 6 sides are farmland). Each objective has multiple levels which grow in difficulty/time investment to complete. This is why the main gamemode is a puzzle game, not a city builder, you are trying to last as long as possible and get as many unlocks as you can in one run. There is a creative gamemode which gives you unlimited tiles and the ability to skip or delete tiles you don’t want, but to get the unique tiles in the creative mode you must first unlock them in the base game. Overall, it is a very fun game, and can be pretty relaxing (so long as you aren’t trying to complete one of the harder objectives, such as placing 200 tiles in a row without having any tile side touch a hex whose side is different).

Gem Rush

Gem Rush

This is the digital version of the best selling board game…Gem Rush.

I highly recommend this game for all ages as not only a challenging enough casual game, but one with enough complexity to make it incredibly fun and enjoyable. You can pick it up and leave it anytime, and resume whenever you like. It is multiplayer, and you can play up to 7 players, of which all can be yourself or you can assign bots with 4 differing strength levels. This game has much grown on me, become my weekly gameplay. I admire the “Labor of Love” in the sense that the developer continues to update, polish and refine the overall game as years pass. I would give it a try, as it is well worth $10. 😊

Good Game

This is a board game that has made a faithful reiplementation into a digital form. As a board game, I’m going to say it is not something for people who don’t particuarlly like board games. This game avoids many of the fiddily bigts of setup and tear down and rules checking

Zen Landscape Editor

Zen Landscape Editor

A great game, relaxing and creative just like how it was promised. But there are some things that can be worked on to make it so much more amazing. For example, placing objects like bridges is really hard to get it where you want, but placing things like people is very smooth and easy. Trees are on sand like platform which kinda ruins the green of many islands. Most objects like the villages are red, but would be cool if you can customize the colors of the ships, people, and structures. Customized controls would be AMAZING, it allows everyone to have their own style. Finally, it is a bit hard to rotate the screen for me. M for mute does not work either.

This is sort of a non-working demo. Its to demonstrate the landscape editor for the game which is still being developed but God willing will be released soon. Hopefully this year. I’ve seen the demos and other information about the game, it is very good!

BUY THIS TO SUPPORT THE AUTHOR! ITS VERY GOOD!

Great board game companion app, I found no difficulties with the base functionality and I definitely recommend playing it over steam on a laptop with a bigger screen.

My 2 main points of feedback regarding the game in general are:

1. There’s hardly any need or use for the board and the minis of the actual physical board game. We found ourselves looking only at the screen, which had the most up do date information about the locations and map, and forgot to move our minis around in the physical version. The biggest use for the physical map and minis, is to note down the location where items are dropped.

Niche - a genetics survival game

Niche - a genetics survival game

I’ve been searching for a game with breeding mechanics, and this game scratched that itch I’ve had for so long now. I love how it’s not just a “Red parent and blue parent have purple child” simple type of breeding game, tho those are fun to play too. It actually uses real life genetics. So there are some genes that are dominant/recessive, co-dominance, incomplete dominance… and you run into real problems if you inbreed too much.

There are so many genes! You can make your nichelings be primarily herbevores or carnavores. You can make them fly or swim. They can survive hot climates, cold climates, and even poisonous swamp environments. Or you can make them anything inbetween! And these are just the genes to help you survive the environment! There are tons more genes that are purely cosmetic

Real player with 372.6 hrs in game

Niche – a genetics survival game, is of course an early access game. It revolves around these creatures, which aren’t anything specific. Many people describe them as cats and bunnies combined, with plenty more. You start off with Adam and Eve, and must breed them, occasionally using the Mutation Menu in hopes of getting specific or better genetics for your creatures. As you go on you must strategically pick each creature you mate together in order to get the most optimal genetics. There are many islands to go to and fro. During your adventure you’ll come across many challenges, of course. This includes carnivores, who come to of course eat your creatures (or, really, just to kill them), or going into harder islands you’ll encounter birds, who will eat your babies if they’re not within a hexagon (or square, step, spot) of the baby. There’s also Dodomingos who will take every chance they get to steal a nest, and if you attack it, it’ll attract more Dodomingos, and perhaps even carnivores. Perhaps you’ll encounter a Rogue Male (previously Horny Male) who will breed with your females if you’re not watching. There’s also leeches who will attach to unsuspecting creatures, even if they’re on the shore. There are also a few biome specific creatures, such as the different (Hearing, Seeing, and Smelling) Apes, who you’re suppose to run from rather than fight. Or the Mountain Biome creatures, such as Walrus Deer (Who I believe is prey) Arctic Ramfox, who is also like the carnivore, and will steal meat you haven’t picked up, or the infamous Balance Bear. The Balance Bear is the Apes of the Mountain biome. You’re suppose to run from it, rather than fight it, and it only appears during snow.
