NecroWorm

NecroWorm

Nice ambience with bugs and horrible controls

What this game is: This is a timed puzzle game with a cartoonish side. You litterally are a worm that has to eat his way through a setup in order to solve it by eating every available object (be it a brain, a skull, etc.) in a certain amount of time. You can make your way through one space only once, so you have to make sure not to put yourself in position of crossing your path.

How does it work? It presents 120 setups, on three pages, that you have to solve. Depending on the time you took in solving the puzzle (by eating everything there is to eat), you get from one to three skulls. From there, you are allowed to continue solving other puzzles, unless you want to get a better score (and thus more skulls).

I came into Omnom Necropolis expecting a classic snake game, but found that this is more of a hybrid of the old snake game and a puzzler. Basically the goal of each level is to each each of the yucky dead things as quickly as possible without boxing yourself in. As you move you grow with every step (slither?) so you cannot enter the same space twice making it a bit of a challenge. I found that it’s easier if I don’t think too much about it and kind of get a broad idea of how to clear the board then tweak it out from there. This works pretty well except on some of the harder levels where things get a bit insane. There is a hint feature that shows you a completion path, but use it sparingly as it only gives you a quick flash and they are limited. Graphics and sound suit the mood and it looks nice enough: I tested it on my low-end machine and it ran smoothly so that’s nice. I’m slightly bummed that it does not support gamepads – because of this I cannot stream it to my shield or play it on the GPD Win easily. All in all if you like puzzly type games you will likely enjoy Omnom’s different approach to the genre. Plus it’s only 3 bucks. Good game to add to the Halloween playlist.

Got this game for a bargain price of under a dollar and so far have enjoyed it. It’s a mix of puzzle and factory-style game (e.g. Factorio crafting) with an 8-bit interface. Simple game yet challenging.

A fun simply puzzle game based around factory processing and shipment. Easy to play and enjoyable. Hope there will be an expansion pack in a few months.

Help. I do not know which combination is needed for Pancake Soup in this game

Edit says

Never mind. Some guide helped me figure it out but now I don’t know which combination is needed for French Toast

I believe cooking only takes time away from eating (not to mention the shopping before and washing up after), but was happy to finally see a food-based puzzler that isn’t time-management nonsense.

cooking is very similar to doodle god, but with actual sense, not just combining random stuff to create more random stuff. at least that’s what I thought at first, then blamed myself for being a big-time eater with zero idea about cooking, then realized that part of my being dumbfounded is because everything consists of 2 or 3 ingredients, which may sound easy, but it really isn’t.

Jungle Town: Birthday quest

Jungle Town: Birthday quest

Got this game with my just turned 6 year old daughter and she loved it! Played it through to the end, then half of it again. Clean art with interesting characters, neat animation, and fun music. Puzzles that are good for kids, also really showed her allot about using a mouse (probably would be great on a touch screen). There was one little bug where a piece that was required wasn’t selecting (Raccoon level with wood piece), but on reloading it worked fine. The clothing design selection and cutting was a particularly fun one for her. We saw the to be continued at the end, and would gladly get the sequel (it ifs in the works), great work to the devs on this, good to see some kid content on steam.

One of the most charming games I’ve ever played! It’s teaming with humor, along with a heartfelt “tail” of two brothers! The visuals and animations are soothing and the soundtrack is top notch! (It’s also on bandcamp and Dumivid’s Youtube channel for casual listening!)

And the puzzles are nothing to scoff at! Are you overthinking that one level? Or not thinking it through enough?! (Level 7 comes for us all!) Reaching the end is a commendable feat! The journey is more than worth it to reach it!

Dominant Mind

Dominant Mind

Dominant Mind is a Steam version of one of the most popular board games ever!! If you are a lover of logic games, this is the right game for you! People have always been interested in challenging the mind with mind games and exercise the brain with brain training games. Our brain is a muscle and just like every other muscle. It needs exercise to develop and keep fit!

Try in two playing modes to break the code:

  • easy mode with 4 pins

  • hard mode with 5 pins

The logic and Dominant Mind game rules are very similar to a mind game called Bulls and Cows that was played with a pencil on paper. Ready to get your brain training?

Honestly for a puzzle game this is quite fun! The puzzles get progressivly harder as you advance and for the expert you’ll have this finished in about 9 hours, for gamers like me. Two weeks.

Physics and sound effects are nice using the power of the Unity engine, great music score.

I didnt have any issues with bugs or crashes and within 2 hours im at level 9 I think?

I recommend the game. There is a really good review which can be found here.

This is a fun little physics-based puzzler. It takes between 60 and 90 minutes to complete, and features some very chillled puzzle action. Getting the pads just right to finish the level can be done in a number of ways, and it’s satisfying when you get it right.

For £2, around 90 minutes of gameplay is about right. The game is actively being improved by the developers, and is just that little bit different that makes it a fresh challenge.
