Mad Frost

Mad Frost

Mad Frost is very simple platformer with few puzzles and filled with memes. Yes there are plenty of memes based content (you will find stormtroopers, Uganda Knuckles and few other ridiculous references). However gameplay is poor, frustrating and just weird.

PROS

Art. Yes this game has nice art throughout all game. It is sketch type visuals, everything looks nice. There are some copy paste work in some levels but I think everything was made good enough.

This is so bad, I can’t even find proper words. Controls, animations, sound design, graphics, plot, dialogues… Stay away from this pile of art!

I don’t understand why this is ANOTHER standalone game instead of an expansion. I really enjoy the relaxed nature of the color by numbers stuff, but It’s weird to me to have so many different versions of the same game in my steam library.

It is addictive. The firsts ones are easy. Afterwards, there are more and more pixels to fill (fortunately there is an option to fill large swatches at once. Then pictures get big, and you have to move the window over it.

One warning. If you make a mistake and click on a pixel that was filled with a different color, it goes blank again, and you will have to refill it

Dry Erase: Infinite VR Whiteboard

Dry Erase: Infinite VR Whiteboard

I use Dry Erase for maths work. Using this program to derive maths, whilst listening to music, is almost zen like. It’s amazingly calming and strangely fulfilling.

For my professional work, its proved useful for a few technical meetings, checking derivations and discussing engineering issues. The interface is simple, but its incredible useful being able to scroll for ever and use different colour pens to highlight different things. Shame its not multiplayer, but I guess we can’t have everything.

Review of Dry Erase: Infinite VR Whiteboard

============================================

First and foremost, this is worth the money at its current state regardless of any following critiques. If you are in need of a whiteboard VR app that lets you focus free of distractions, this is the one for you. I have used it already to create videos explaining complex topics I deal with professionally, and I see several hundreds/thousands of hours more. I’m not going to get into the technical bits of the app itself (at least not too much). Let’s focus on how this helps someone like me who is easily distracted, a visual person, and someone who needs the proper environment to conceptualize and communicate complex abstract ideas.

Fractal Gallery VR

Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers

Please note: I received a free Steam key through the Steam Curator Connect program

I think this is a nice virtual art gallery. Keep in mind, this is not a game. It’s simply a simulation of an art gallery with fractal art being the only type of art featured. You’re in a cozy up-scale gallery and you teleport around to view the art work, I would have preferred full locomotion with smooth turning as an option.

There are several pieces to enjoy. You can stare at them for quite awhile and move around in your playspace to get different views. If you stare long enough, more than likely you’ll start seeing the images moving, even within the static images. Other pieces are not static at all and you can see the images transform and change colors.

I LOVE fractals! Really wanted this to be awesome, but it is not. I dive in and get lost in a good fractal on my VR often, but have yet to find a better option than youtube on my virtual desktop, with the screen stretched as big as I can see. This “game” is just a small collection of still shots, a couple animated fractals, and a odd view of the mandelbrot set that dose not zoom in or do this piece of mathematical art justice at all. I would not buy this even if the fractals are updated regularly, it just lacks the trippiness I’m looking for.

Positives

+The color palette choosen is very vibrant and pretty.

+All sprite are great and have the same aesthetic.

+The game concept is nice.

Observations and suggestions

~The screen flashes to white when changing menu. Better not change menu too quickly, or one might go blind O.O. Might want to change that to black or at least make an option to change the color.

~I think it would be nice to click and skip the final animation. It is a bit long.

~There is no penality for error and no reward for completing a level without error on the first try. I think some additional game mechanics would benefit the gameplay.

Lucky me has the dubious honour of writing the first English review for Pixasso 2.

Pixasso 2 is a 2D retro pixel point and click “colouring” game that’s been slapped together with the godawful GameMaker Studio video game construction kit from Yoyogames. It’s very badly made, featuring ultra low quality asset flipped pixel “art” images that you have to colour by clicking on a small palette and then clicking on the gigantic pixels of the flipped art asset. It’s barely a game, and unsurprisingly seems like a template flip/cash grab.

You can view my gameplay & initial impressions review here (also where I make this really cool drawing at the end by almost sheer luck): https://youtu.be/MvmuQeEZAu4

This is an educational app for VR where you can use block programming to draw 3D creations in VR. This is similar to Google Blockly or MIT Scratch if you’re familiar with those free open-source programs.

Obviously, you can just learn block programming from Blockly or Scratch for free if you’d like and there’s several online tutorials for that as well. However, this program lets you see your creations in VR so it does add something to the table.

Coloring Game 4

Coloring Game 4

There’s some things I like about this one in comparison to the other Coloring Games (1-3). For instance, being able to lock the colors so that it cycles to the next color instead of the first when you finish using one. Another point in favor of #4 is that there is no art DLC. I love classic art, don’t get me wrong. But when the colors are so diffused that you have to click almost every pixel in a 500,000 pixel painting individually, you start to hate it. So good on them for not having an art pack DLC (at the time of this review).

Well, I’ve officially finished every picture from all the games (I think there’s 5 total). There seems to be some missing from this one which the dev stated will be released when the full game is (whenever that will be).

Hard to say I haven’t enjoyed it considering the amount of hours I’ve put into each of the games. Kind of cringe-worthy that achievements are locked behind paid DLC content, but the base game is free, so hard to really even complain about spending a few bucks - especially considering the amount of time put into the game to complete everything.
