Dinosaur Hunt Puzzle
If you don’t like simple sliding puzzles, move along, there’s nothing else to see here.
–-
This is exactly what it looks like, a very basic sliding puzzle game. You pick the size to adjust the number of tiles you want to solve and then select an image. The game lets you pick from the basic story images from Dinosaur Hunt or create your own (or use others from the workshop)
The music is relaxing and the freedom to use any image you want makes this mildly interesting, assuming you like basic sliding puzzles. Overall there’s not much to rave about, but also nothing to really complain about. It’s simple, it’s functional and it’s free.

5000 Achievements, constantly dropping (whether you’re doing anything or not). Perfectly competent randomised slide puzzles, which are presumably fun if you’re any good at them (I’m utterly hopeless, and take f-ing forever). Pleasant pictures, pleasant music. And, perhaps most important of all: it’s FREE.
So while it’s nothing to get very excited about, it’s also nothing to complain about. Avid slide puzzlers will presumably be in slide puzzle heaven.
Oh, and for some odd reason there’s even CARD DROPS. On a free game! Can’t say I’ve seen that one before. (Though they are worth crap-all on the market, so might be best saved to build badges. Unless you really wanna work for that extra ten cents or so in your Steam Wallet.)

Doodle Alive
Doodle Alive is platform puzzle game where a little doodle come to life.
CORE MECHANIC
In Doodle Alive you have an ability to change perspective from 2d platdomer to top-down and vice-versa. When in top-down mode you are a little doodle drawn on a piece of paper so you can’t overstep the edges of paper, but with a hit of a mode will change and you’ll come to life. Now you can interact with the real world jump on pencils and paperclips or draw yourself back on a paper.
Your goal is pretty simple - get the crystal.
NOTE:
Doodle Alive is a short game, consisting of 30 levels.

First impression: free good box pusher (Sokoban) puzzle game.
Press left-arrow on the first screen to switch to English!
The basic mechanic is pushing boxes to their target destination. Then you get flame squares to avoid (or burn up useless boxes), ice cubes to douse fires, stone plinths, rolling rocks, and more, to vary the strategies that are necessary to solve a level. There are 100 levels, all unlocked, rated by difficulty. I’ve tried 17 so far, skipping quite a few to have a look at the new mechanics.

A clever but simple concept and easy, intuitive controls, resulting in a good, very playable puzzle and logic game. I really enjoyed puzzling out how to complete the tasks, particularly the slightly more difficult ones towards the end. Well done!

Very cool puzzle game. Can get difficult towards the end.
At the end you’re like: “OK, I got this!” But then it turns out you’ve spent like 20 minutes turning the camera and moving the cubes around and you still haven’t figured out the solution.
So if you have good spatial awareness in a 3D space, this is the game for you.

Ever wanted to play Connect 4 in a Rubik’s cube? Me neither!
Strange as this game is from visual style to game mechanics, there’s still plenty of fun to be had for a free to play game!
The UI is a little janky, but it’s still easy to set up a multiplayer game with a friend, and different modes that change the game’s mechanics keep the game interesting.
Highly recommend this game if you and a friend are looking for something new to play.

I’d recommend this game, it’s a nice take on the classic connect 4 type of game with a cool concept added.
Your goal is the same as the classic game to make a row of 4 of your characters, but this time in a 3D puzzle.
The controls and interface are well explained and works well.
The game visuals and animations also are really pleasant with a nice music.
You can play solo or against a friend in three different modes with their own settings also detailed ingame.
When you play solo, you can chose between three difficulties (easy,medium and hard).

A cute and challenging little game! There were a few bugs/glitches, and I broke the game right before the last section by wandering through a wall and off the course, but was fun enough to try to blaze through the levels again

It’s pretty good, the puzzles can be quite challenging, like where I wish there was a hint option…

Kine
I really liked Kine. It’s a fun puzzle game about moving one or more of three musical instrument characters around what looks like a simple block oriented course. Each puzzle only takes a few moves but it’s not as simple as it sounds because it involves rotating the character and extending their ‘limbs’ to help movement. Movement from one position to another is very slick and its just as easy to revert a move so the game encourages a try and see if it works approach. The music is fun and there is a story which ties it all together.

Quality puzzle game in terms of production value
The most impressive thing for me about this game is the visuals. The comic book art-style is lovely. The music stands out, too, which isn’t surprising in a game where you play as anthropomorphic musical instruments aspiring to be musicians. I did find it a bit too lively and upbeat at times, though, which can be a bit distracting when you’re doing puzzles that require patience and focus to solve, but this is pretty much a nitpick, easily remedied by turning the volume down a bit. On top of that, this is a relatively narrative-driven puzzle game, where the story is told via dialogue by the characters in the form of speech bubbles. There are three characters altogether, and they each have their own personalities! There’s no voice acting in the game, but that is probably too much to expect from an indie puzzle game where a lot of effort has already been put into the visuals and music.
