Floating Point
This game is just STUPID amounts of addicting; after you get the hang of it (take about ten minutes or less), you just can’t stop playing it. The controls are simple and mostly intuitive, and it isn’t long before you’re having a blast.
It’s oddly relaxing, yet exciting; you’re swinging over–and occasionally under–what I can only assume is some sort of ocean, looking like the unholy spawn of Spider-Man and a laser pointer, and at times it’s difficult not to shout, “Wheeeee!” as you swing around hitting the targets that get you points.

What a beautiful yet simple game, absolute masterpeice.
Are you tired after several CS:GO or DotA 2 games?
Are you looking for an antidepressant?
Well, this game is for you, and would you look at it, it’s free!
On a technical level this game is very simple, you are a red dot, bouncing and swinging across platforms gathering bars, now, there’s a twist ofcourse!
The faster you go, the longer the bars are! So a huge part of the game is mommentum, swinging from platform to platform like Tarzan will be inevitable if you want to do well.

Viridi
Disclaimer: I beta tested this game.
Viridi is exactly what it says on the tin: it’s a little virtual garden where you watch your plants grow.
The gameplay itself is minimalistic. Apart from planting your succulents, watering them, and zooming in to sing at them, there’s very little else you can do. It’s supposed to be a very zen experience — similar to keeping actual plants — so if you expect more interactivity than that then this is not the game for you. I usually had it on in the background while I went on with my day as always (hence my exorbitant playtime), but you don’t need to leave it on all the time. Your plants will grow just fine while the game is closed as well, so if you only want to spend 5 minutes a day checking up on your plants, then you can do that too. As you can see the joy of the game doesn’t lie within its interactivity, but rather within owning a virtual garden in itself.

Inch by inch… Calmly
snail crawls around the pot. Zen.
Watching grass grow.
…………
In real life I’ve killed more plants than I can (or would bother) count. In Viridi I can feel like an expert gardener, and without a stress of real gardening. Au contraire - it is an awesome stress reliever (and believe me - I know about stress!).
This game requires a really low level of skills, there’s no steep learning curve, you don’t have to spend hours trying to beat something or find some other-thing or figure out some puzzle. You just open the game once a day (or even not every day, or maybe 2-3 times a day - up to your liking), water your plants and pluck weeds. Once a week you get a free seed that you can add to your existing pot, or keep it for the future, or trade with other players.

Coloring Game
My point of view on it - review
With a kind and active dev that always works on updating and improving his game, this colouring game is a nice addon to steam and your library if you’re into the genre.
I can honestly say I am addicted too it and bought every DLC thus so far since in my eyes and my opinion the price was fair for the content we get.
The in game music is not bad but I do prefer to mute it and put on some YouYube or a series too relax and just colour away.

It seems the dev is done providing free updates for this game now (which is completely reasonable) so I feel this is worth reviewing now.
I appreciate that the game actually is all pixel art and not real-life photos pixillized, and there’s some elements of the interface that i like, but the broken scrolling system & no quick/easy way to scroll across an image in general makes it feel a bit awkward to play. As well I can’t say I find the images themselves that compelling - mostly character art with few landscape-type affairs. From what I can see of the first DLC pack it seems to continue that trend. It’s a serviceable enough coloring game but I don’t find it as chill as the other similar game on steam, even if that one has plenty of issues itself.

Coloring Book for Adults
For a free coloring book its not bad. You get three coloring packs (mandala, owls, dinos).
Issues:
The default pallet are weird color choices and not organized in any way.
The shaded pallet are off color for pure yellow and blue. They also include grayed versions of the chosen color instead of just a full light to dark range of the same hue.
The custom pallet:
a. The color chooser should go to to color already on the pallet not create a new swatch of an already present color; only adding if the color is not in the pallet already

I’d like to recommend this game, but it already seems abandoned and there are just too many little things I find annoying about it. (I only have the free images)
The “Standard Colors” palette are too random.
The “Shades Colors” are just not right. So many of the colors are either way too close or just the same color repeated, and they aren’t even shades of the same color.
I would seriously love just a simple color wheel or RGB input.
Why does the color picker tool automatically add the color to “My Palette”? I’d rather it just picked the color, so I could use it.

Artists Of Fortune: Distant Worlds
A very chill game, in the coloring pixels by numbers/letters form. Similar to the very popular coloring pixels & coloring game franchises, with a unique art style which relies on science fiction and cyberpunk representations.
Very nice pics and animations, plays better with your own music and at your own pace. Very engaging and addictive, can keep you for tens of hours stuck on the monitor. Totally recommended (bought the DLC’s!).

I love the game. Very slick presentation, and a nice range of ‘space’ type pictures to fill in. Sure hope they bring out more planets on a regular basis. Excellent game. 9.5/10

Coloring Book for Kids
Coloring Book for Kids™… What more can be said about this game that hasn’t already been said about Minecraft, Tetris, Skyrim… Peaksel has once again revolutionized the Kids' Coloring Book genre with this criminally underrated gem. The game is packed with hundreds of levels that will ensure hours and hours of fun for everyone who decides to give it a try. The controls were very responsive and the lag was always at a minimum! The game never tanked below 60 fps throughout my first playthrough (i have a macbook pro). The graphics may not be as good as you’d expect, but for a game of its time, they hold up very well. The story was fantastic and ties in perefectly with the game mechanics. I felt so connected to all the characters.
! Try not to get too attached though… The gameplay was easy to learn, yet hard and fun to master, and there were close to no microtransactions, unlike other modern AAA games that aim to rob you of every last penny!

Coloring Pixels
A paint-by-numbers game that is a fantastic way to relax. Unless you get completely addicted to it, like me, and play it WAY too much and your hand starts cramping. :p
Basically, you’re presented with numbered tiles and each number corresponds to a color. Click on that number on the bottom of the screen or type it in on your keyboard and then get to work filling in those squares! The pictures start out easy but progress to large scale ones which will take hours to complete. Your progress is saved when you back out of a puzzle and the game will show you the percentage you have completed. There are also achievements which hopefully will register soon when steam “learns” about the game.

Coloring Pixels
Colouring Pixels reminds me so much of my childhood days of colouring by numbers, I loved doing them in my spare time. I completed many paper version books as a kid, we never had PC’s back in my childhood days. This digital version wont take up so much room, and these pictures look ever so nice once completed.
This game is Super relaxing and VERY addictive once you start, you wont want to stop.
Controls are very easy, Left mouse = select number colour and hold to paint, Middle mouse wheel = scroll picture size, as you will certainly need to. Right mouse = hold and move picture around.

Banyu Lintar Angin - Little Storm -
It was hard for me to write a review about this not even 3 minute lasting “game”.
This because, Banyu Lintar Angin is not really a game, it’s not a visual novel either, it’s actually a slide show of hand drawn illustrations.
It’s showing the lives of 3 siblings that are living together in Indonesia.
The hand drawn illustrations are absolutely stunning, adorable and cute!
The music is really catchy and fitting too.
But in all honesty, I don’t see why this has to be on steam…
I was expecting so much more than just a slide show of drawings.

Becalm
It’s a great “game” to use as white noise when I take naps. Also good background and visuals for when I’m knitting. Oh, and makes a great screensaver too. If you’re looking to actually do something then look elsewhere because the only thing you control in this “game” is your view from your boat. Use the mouse to look around 360 degrees, up and down all around. But your boat never arrives anywhere. See some mountains in the distance and think you’ll get there, sorry to tell you you’ll never arrive! It’s like this boat is stuck and the scenery is on a track that passes you by to make you think that you’re moving. On the plus side there are different places your boat can be. And the trees and stuff are wildly colored, even the sky is strange. Sometimes you’re floating towards a mountain with land on one side, then sometimes you’re in the arctic floating through icebergs (hope you brought something warm to wear!), or you’re surrounded by tall cattails and other water plants and they are very tall.

Okay my dude, so we(three) have been “playing” for about an hour now. We LOVE this game! However, we are a few “game developers” and have some design “suggestion(s)”.
Firstly, you know those worm like particle effects that are uniquely shaped and colored to each realm(island realm had rounded and brown, iceberg realm had pointy and white, and grass realm had wispy and white)? Okay, good! So, on the iceberg realm we feel that the wispy nature of the grass realms “worm(s)” would fit much more nicely.

hexceed
it’s fine for a free game but I feel like I’m just killing time playing this instead of thinking. there are only 4 unique mechanics to this minesweeper game (I don’t include that they’re hexagons instead of squares because the hexagons make the game easier) and none of them function in conjunction with each other. on the other hand, Globesweeper: Hex Puzzler has 7 new unique mechanics (not including when empty tiles sometimes fall away when you clear them) and they are constantly combined to make even more unique mechanics. every puzzle in that felt different whereas every puzzle in Hexceed feels the same.

I’m not far in yet, but it’s easy to tell that this is a very well made puzzle game.
For reference, I’m a huge fan of the Hexcells series which this obviously seems to take a lot of inspiration from. While starting out the tutorial area it seems to lean a lot closer to Minesweeper, it quickly introduces unique rules that bend the standard formula back toward Hexcells while still keeping its own unique identity.
UI is pleasant and - incredibly important in a puzzle game with unique rules like this - everything you need is easy to understand and within easy reach. New rules are also cleverly introduced without a written explanation and (at least across the tutorial area) ramp up gently enough for probably most to keep up with it. Clicking and holding with either mouse button on a completed tile shows you its area of effect, which makes things easy to keep track of as well.
