Chess’Extra

Chess’Extra

Tried it out with a friend of mine, it isn’t very well made but gets the job done.

UI could use improvement, sounds could be introduced properly.

It’s free, but it’s a mixed bag. Leaving as “Not Recommended” since there are better versions for free or paid on Steam and on the Web.

No point to this game. At all. You just click on the screen leveling up your money to buy so called perks which themselves are unending it looks like in how far you can level them each up. but you don’t get anything for this. not really. there are some odd little mini games, but there is no story going on, or point to the game. I bought it because it was ultra cheap and I was curious. All you do is click on a mode of transport and sometimes you can travel and the background changes. you don’t ask anything, you don’t do anything. It’s literally just click the middle of the screen, nine billion times until you realize there is no point and stop.

Swiss Alps Jigsaw Puzzles

Swiss Alps Jigsaw Puzzles

This is a nice jigsaw puzzle game that only costs a couple dollars. There are 80 pictures to choose from, but only a few of the pictures are really attractive. You can also choose how many pieces you want to be in the puzzle. Glass Masquerade is the only other jigsaw puzzle game I have seen that I like a lot more than this.

Road Builder

Road Builder

I felt like the concept of a road building game where you’re limited to a square grid was a good idea. So to get to the puzzle stage, you’ll have to start building the roads up to the intersections-points, which becomes tedious because you have to click so many times to swap between different straights and curves. Once you figure out where roads have to cross, you have to guess your way around the extremely limited intersections. Intersections has “ghost”-tiles that are very hard to figure out how they work. It’s a guess-work which is made difficult because of the limited feedback on pathfinding. Essentially you have to connect all points, then hit play, see a binary “it works” or “it doesn’t work”. With the update you can at least see for each endpoints, but just hovering on an entry/exit should really show the path the cars will take to the opposite.

It’s really lovely game with a good concept and cute graphics.

I thinks it’s definitely worth the price (includes a lot of level, an editor, and Workshop support).

However, some of the puzzles are hard and the games is sometimes a little click- and mouse heavy.

I have really enoyed playing this game. The levels are easier at the start, but they become really hard later on. There are a 15 levels now, and hopefully more will follow soon. I have gotten all achievements. Especially the bonus can be really hard in some levels. I do reccomend this game as it does not cost much, especially for people who enjoy puzzle games and like to be challenged.

Real player with 10.3 hrs in game

I’ve really enjoyed playing this game, if you love strategy/puzzle games you should definitely buy this game! There are a total of 15 levels, it starts easy but gets hard really fast. Trying to go for bonus makes the game even more difficult. I hope more levels will be added after early access.

Death Drives A Bus

Death Drives A Bus

Very charming game! I knew from the get-go I’d like this game.

So death' side job as a bus driver comes in handy when his horse falls ill. So drive around, pick the dead up and drop them off to heaven or heck.

The puzzles become, in my opinion, quickly challenging, but not frustrating. It helps a lot with the simple interface and quick rest.

Also, the i.d.’s of the dead people, doesn’t do anything but it’s such a great detail to add in.

At the moment of writing (sept22,20),

the achievements on Linux (mint) do not work, but an in-game save keeps track of your progress.

It is quite fitting that the road to hell heck is littered with traffic jams. Death Drives A Bus is a great little package. Most stages seem to have multiple possible solutions but that doesn’t stop them from being quite perplexing from time to time. If you’re a fan of puzzle games you really can’t go wrong with this title for the price it’s being offered at.
