Cuccchi
Really a beautiful exploration and discovery game of interactive art pieces. Just passed level three in the game and was blown away, being there inside these imaginary places and wanting to discover what was happening and what was just out of sight. The music is soo good and really helps with the travel into the paintings and by setting the mood. Exploration is so rewarding.

I would not enjoy Enzo Cucchi’s art by itself, and I did not know who Enzo is before I played this game, I’ve seen a lot of similar works by artists with similar career paths and I am not a fan. ‘Fine art’ as it would be called. But Cuccchi is not just a gallery, it isn’t just a resource for an artist, although it is also that, it is a game in of itself which the gallery part excluded is mostly original, it honestly would have a chance of qualifying as transformative fair use if it wasn’t made with the blessing of the creator (which I’m like 79% sure it is).

Loddlenaut
Loddlenaut is a creature-raising survival game that takes place on an ocean planet. Play as an interstellar custodian who is sent to clean up an abandoned planet polluted by a mega-corporation as you get it ready for the next company to move in.
🚀 Explore an open-world alien planet
🐠 Raise aquatic critters called “loddles” that grow based on what they eat
🔫 Clean up icky goop and floating debris with your bubble gun
🌟 Upgrade your gun and jetpack to unlock new interactions and areas in the world
🏠 Build a cozy home base for you and your loddles
Your mission: to clean up GUP-14, a small ocean planet that was once the home of GUPPI, a mega-corporation that makes and sells everything from soda to rockets. When you first arrive on the planet, you’ll find yourself amid murky waters, oil spills, and scattered junk.
Within the polluted environments, you’ll find remnants of GUPPI’s buildings, ships, and machinery all sunken to the ocean floor. As you clean up their mess, explore these areas to discover clues about the company’s questionable past.
As you clean up the planet, you’ll run into axolotl-like aliens known as “loddles.” Protect them from the polluted waters and feed them aquatic fruits while you make their planet habitable again. Depending on their diet, loddles will grow in different ways and develop unique traits and abilities that will further enable them to survive on this polluted planet.
When the loddles are strong enough and the waters are cleaner, release them back into the wild and watch them thrive! You may even come across eggs that you can incubate to raise more loddles.

VR Plant Journey
In this virtual reality adventure, you’ll explore the inner workings of a canola plant from root to flower. What does canola need to thrive optimally? Learn about the processes in plant cells, playfully help it grow, and become an excellent plant scientist.
LEARNING CAN TAKE PLACE ANYWHERE AND AT ANY TIME
Together with plant researchers:inside the Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research, Breakpoint One and Simmation have created a high-quality educational experience. VR Plant Journey “Die Reise in die Pflanze” teaches children biological knowledge in a playful way. Thanks to fully immersive virtual reality (VR), players:inside are completely immersed in the inner workings of a canola plant, experience the events up close and can even control them.
EDUTAINMENT MEANS ENTERTAINING LEARNING
In three chapters - root, leaf and seed - you test out how an optimum of nutrients must be regulated for the development of plant organs.
The unusual learning unit is lightened up by playful elements.
In the leaf, for example, chloroplasts are thrown with the basic substances of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water; in the root, ammonium and nitrate, important plant nutrients, have to be assembled; and in the seed, oil bodies have to be hit with a bow and arrow so that they grow.
The high-quality implementation of the concept is reflected in several internationally renowned awards and nominations:
#### Awards
As part of the science and research project AVATARS
2021 for the VRnow Award “Best Industry VR” 
Award nominations
2021 for the VR Awards “VR Education and Training of the Year”

PARENT AND CHILD
The journey continues as this parent teaches and protects it’s child. Enjoy calm moments of play and keep safe as unknown dangers lurk ahead.
Planet Centauri
This is a very entertaining game worth its full early access price. I am sure you already know what it reminds you of but it has its own charm. Some key advantages it has over -those- games you are thinking about is that the torch can be placed on hotbar to help you see in the dark areas without having it selected. This means you no longer need to place a thousand torches just to see where you are digging underground at the beginning like in Terraria. You get to capture pets in this game too and they can level up and learn passives. A few of these monsters can be used as mounts. You can put these pets into special pet houses where they will earn xp overtime. Decorating inside of their houses with the proper furniture will boost the rate. Monsters have tiers so finding the higher tier ones will get higher tier passives usually or more HP/attack bonuses. Put a male and female together in house and they will produce an egg granted they are same kind of monster. They will produce egg easier when they love their home more I think (represented by heart meter)

The Pillar
In the words of James May: “No.”.
It’s a pity. The programming is competent. Good use is made of the Unity game engine. The environment is colourful and pretty, though completely ripped off of a well known game. Perhaps one could call it a tribute. I didn’t find any bugs, though I thought I did several times because the game design is a bit strange.
And that’s the problem. Numerous questionable design decisions spoil the game. It carefully explains how to solve a particular puzzle type, but presents a single use of that puzzle type which works differently. It features a bright, powerful, dangerous-looking laser beam … which in its first appearance shines right through where you have to be standing without harming you. There are a number of different puzzle mechanisms, one of which is so fast, and requires such a quick memory, that I cannot solve it without watching a playback outside the game. Things you change, change the environment with appropriate sound-effects, but you can’t see what changes because the game forces you to look away as it happens.

At first gland, the DEV is definately inspired by “The Witness”. The puzzles however start very easy and simple, but dedicated to be the same as all the others and yet slightly off. But when you progress deeper into the game, sometimes a bit more “challenging” the puzzles become.
The controls are a bit weird, but I could adjust it to a level on which I could work with. Same as for the sound, it was very loud at certain points. Music wasn’t constant, had to put other music in the background. Don’t like silent games.

ENDO
A fun game to get lost in for a few hours, very tactile environment and satisfying sounds/visuals. Good variety of puzzles and storytelling in the environment, all coming together in a lovely hidden gem.
Also you can bunnyhop and schmove around which I highly recommend.

Floor Plan 2
Weird and silly puzzler. I love it. I could spend all day at the chicken rave rocking out. Some puzzles are straight forward and some are pretty devious I think. I played seated. There are turning options and giant mode which makes things easier to reach. It’s teleport-only, but I don’t miss free roam here. Every node is a little station with everything you need laid out around you. You basically only need to figure out which items to take with you to where. The main game lasted me around 5 hours and it has bonus mode that let’s you run pretty much the same course with different items and interactions that nearly double the game length.

game looks great and is really fun, such an improvement on the first game, not that it wasn’t good but this is full off extras, not stuck in the lift you can now visit different rooms for pieces you need to solve the puzzles, touch control support for you cool little hands, find collectables and you can change your hands in a machine for any you have collected, only got fart hands so far but looking forward to the game not being over to soon, love the style of puzzle, its all about the hands “)

FoxPaww: a furry breakout-lite adventure
I like this game; it’s furry and has different themes. I can recommend it. -^.^- UWU!

This game is tough at times, but it’s fun! I would say that it’s a mix between pinball and Pong. I did notice that sometimes I will jump to some other part of the map, I don’t know if that’s a mechanic that I’m not aware of or if it’s a bug. It’s the type of game that you learn it by playing it, and it’s really easy to pick up. This is a great game for all ages.
