Clawfish

Clawfish

Very fun/relaxing game. My first playthrough took me 52 minutes for all achievements. After my first play I did a few more plays and found there are several ways to softlock the game, and without a save feature, they force a full game restart to fix. Here’s the ones I found:

1. Clicking the tokens before they all fell caused the token machines to be completely broken

2. Hitting Esc before the fish fell on the last claw attempt on the last fish caused the train to break and never arrive

3. I’m honestly not sure what I did wrong, the game just wouldn’t let me interact with anything at all

Great little game to spend an evening on. Great art style and interesting game mechanic. As soon as I saw the concept of a fishing game, but through a claw machine I instantly bought it. However, I do have some issues with the game. I wish the game had a bit more substance to it.

For example, the fish could have their own traits and the claws could get more unique per station. Also the fact that after beating the game there isn’t a New Game + with the mysterious man fixing the broken machines to function as extra levels is a real shame. I also ran into some bugs with the fish’s AI. quite often they would get stuck in the corners of the tanks and would cause me to restart the game which was a big pain due to there being no save function in the game. Overall, I think the game was definitely worth the $2.99. Great way to relax with a new game.

Cat Fish Island

Cat Fish Island

TLDR at the end of the review.

This is a chill, exploration game. It is short, you can get 100% completion in one hour.

Before I played this game, I was having a pretty bad game, but this game helped make my day a little bit better. You are an adveturer searching for legends and new experiences, and that’s when you arrive to the island in search of a legendary fish. The story is pretty simple and childish, but it doesn’t worsen the experience.

Gameplay: It’s okay, sometimes it feels a bit luck based, but if you use some technique you can easily catch any fish. The exploration is pretty good and smooth, allowing you to enjoy the island.

Get Rich or Die Gaming

I got this game in a bundle before, so I was not as irritated as some people who paid full price.

It has a number of bugs in it - one causes the game to crash. It is pretty short (under 10 minutes), art is okay, the whole thing is kind of something you would have seen on Newgrounds before.

The best part of the game was the business dude conversations which ended up making me laugh.

I don’t recommend buying it, instead just go watch the 5 min let’s play of it.

Winter Survival Simulator

Winter Survival Simulator

What was supposed to be a nice winter hike in the Mount Washington State Park with friends, turned into a dire situation. You are left alone to fight for your survival. With only marginal supplies you have to fight off of the cold, the wildlife and find your way to an abandoned ranger station in hope to be able to call for help.

While you haven’t suffered any injuries during the fall, you lost your backpack and hence most of your gear and supplies. You will need to find shelter, find some food and rest. Then it’s about making your way to an old ranger station to call for rescue.

Sounds easy enough, doesn’t it? It is, except for the supplies you are going to need for the trip, the weather, the freezing cold, not to mention the wildlife. The goal of the game is to survive. To prepare enough to make the trip to the ranger station and to deal with all the surprises along the journey.

Hunt or be hunted. You have no rifle and there is no combat. If you encounter wolfs or even a bear, stay away and run. You won’t be able to kill a bear with a knife, it’s not the movies.

What you can do is be clever about the wildlife and set traps. You might even be able to find some traps hunters left behind and use them to maintain a safe perimeter or to hunt smaller animals for food. Tracking, establishing the best spot and being patient is what the hunt will be about.

Cold, thirst, hunger and exhaustion are the four major factors you have to worry about. It doesn’t however end there. Injuries are another one and there is the weather. Spending the night in the freezing cold without any shelter is akin to a death sentence and trying to go out in a snow storm isn’t any better either. Don’t forget, weather in the mountains changes quickly and is unpredictable. You have to be prepared at all times.

You are not the first one person in this area. There have been many before you. More than a century ago some even lived here. If you explore your surroundings there is a good chance they may have left something behind that will still be useful to you. And while building a shelter on your own is certainly an option, it is a lot better and safer to adapt something that already exists.

You could find an old hunter lodge and fix it up to offer decent shelter and a base of operations for you to prepare, gather supplies and food and even hunt. You are going to have a long trip ahead of you. The better you prepare, the less risky it will be.

The rescue isn’t going to be instant. Despite modern equipment and well trained mountain rescue personnel, you are far away and their helicopter can’t take off in any weather. Between you calling for help and help actually arriving might take even a couple of days. Additional time you have to survive in the bitter cold at Mount Washington.

Mark Twain’s Tom Sawyer: Survival Game

Mark Twain’s Tom Sawyer: Survival Game

We are one of the first studios who decided to make a videogame based on Mark Twain’s books.

So, we took a chapter from Tom Sawyer’s Adventures book, about him escaping to an island with his friends. And decided that this will perfectly fit into a concept of a survival game. But it is not a plotless survival sandbox. As anything with our studio, our games are highly focused on unique experiences, intrinsic motivation, and player emotions. If we make a survival game - it is going to be unique and most of our time is going to be dedicated to immersing the player and creating a feeling of an authentic teenage adventure inside the player’s head.
