Starlight Explorers
It’s a fun way to learn about gravity and orbits, with a story designed to welcome a younger audience to those concepts. Beyond that, the simple aim-and-release gameplay is versatile enough to range from a meditative squiggle-drawing activity to a fiendish spatial-reasoning challenge.

The game is very relaxing and satisfying when you find the right trajectory. For me, Starlight really shines toward the middle of the story missions where the planets are no longer shown and you must find them through their gravitation pull.

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.

The Geology Game
This has the potential to be a very nice little game, but the user interface needs a little tweaking. Still, well worth the price.
First of all, I have to unplug my secondary monitor when I start the game. Otherwise the screen size and placement will not work. It’s okay to plug in again, though. I can even move the game window to the external screen without any problems. Adjusting monitor settings back and forth might solve the problem if you have only one screen. If I understood the reviews correctly, somebody actually got a refund because of this! Some customer support might have been a better solution…

I picked this game because not only it was inexpensive but also it was potentially good educational game for my children to learn about geology, minerals, and ancient life on Earth. Once you know how to play and use the interface, it becomes entertaining in a limited manner. After two days with the game, I had my fill. The value of the game is not so much from its playability but rather from the joy of building your museum with fossils and minerals from your increasingly skilled geologists going all over the world breaking rocks and revealing what is inside the rocks. As you build and enrich your museum’s portfolio of fossils and minerals, you get some satisfaction. If one uses the links from the exhibits (they themselves do not communicate much), one can learn much about the different types of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic bedrocks; minerals like silicates, ores, gems, precious metals, oxides, sulfates, sulfides, oxides, carbonates and phosphates; and animals and plants from the Paleozoic, the Mesozoic and the Cenozoic.

Breaking Good
Breaking good is not a bad game, but it’s just not good, either.
It’s a relatively straightforward match 3 game with some interesting mechanics in that you view the play area as a three dimension cylinder from 4 different angles. For core mechanics, you drag left-right to move an entire row of pieces, or swap one up or one down. You match different combinations of 3+ pairs of singular elements to create more complex compounds. There are quite a few achievements, but getting many of them is purely a grind.

A pleasant game. It’s a match 3 with an unusual style twist. My only complaint would be the periodic table itself. It should say only the coloured elements are in play so people don’t think they have to unlock the rest, which is what the current table implies. It is probably unnecessary as well. You can find the element your looking for simply by checking the match tiles.
It’s an achievement hunters dream as well. Worth the price.

They are in the Cosmic Egg when the killer asteroid hits the earth and they return to Earth to learn why the land dinosaurs died and why some species survived.
Pictures of Life
An amusing puzzle game that really made me think. You have to line up pictures in a way that makes sense and some of the sequences are pretty difficult.

june 13, 2020 edit: difficulty settings have been removed, hints now happen by pressing ‘h’ instead of waiting 2/3/5 minutes.
pictures of life is basically a 1st-person picture-based trivia game. you’re in a room, have to take pictures out of a closet, put them on the wall and figure out what connects them, then re-arrange them in the correct order. pressing the big button on the desk verifies your answer and if it’s correct, you can move on to the next puzzle. you can guess as many times as you want, except in the annoying final chapter, which drops you back in the menu after every incorrect one.

Tyto Online
For anyone with even a remote love for science, this is the game for you! It has a nice pleasant atmosphere with a community and developers to match. Playing Tyto Ecology, this is no surprise. The devs take every problem seriously, and would do anything to ensure a happy experience from their fanbase.
While the game is extremely buggy, and many of the quests are repetitive, that is to be expected for an early access game. Tyto Online has a bright future, especially in the learning department.
To the devs, congratulations! I cannot wait to watch this game prosper.

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

Tricone Lab
Tricone Lab is a unique, “pure” puzzle game by a “microscopic indie developer”. Pick it up if you are looking for an original puzzler to challenge your mind in new ways.
The “pure” refers to the focus on the puzzles. There is no story. There is a sort of biochemistry theme, but aside from the visual aesthetic, there’s not any “actual” biochemistry going on here (so don’t worry if that wasn’t your favorite school subject). The visual “biochemistry” presentation is quite nice, unique, and carefully crafted (surely no small feat to program).

A Lateral-Thinking Puzzler for people who like to think outside the box.
Tricone Lab performs a fairly substantial technical challenge in the floating interface. Then, there is the geographical challenge of matching math to shape and space, in puzzles crafted by hand.
Geometric Interface/Graphics
Most puzzle games are on a grid, which is much easier to program. But, Tricone Lab’s cells are floating, amoeba-like structures that gradually change shape while you play. As you pull and drag lines, and the nodes interact with one another, it looks like drawing with a pencil. These long projections can become quite comical when structures called “anticatalysts” start grabbing the nodes you needed to complete the puzzle. Some cells have positive or negative charges, and that may break down larger units you have constructed, all in all causing you to laugh, or cry depending on the difficulty of the map. It certainly brings to mind Dante’s various levels of paradise, purgatory, and hell, all in one game.
