Loch Mess

Loch Mess

Nice little puzzler. There’s no animation but the graphics are cute.

My only real complaint was that it was a bit easy overall.

There’s technically no undo, but normal movement is reversible which is like undo except on levels with fish (which move when you do, and will eat your pies if you let them). Also levels are quite small and restart is instant.

Mina & Michi is a top down 2D advanture game, where a girls and his pet monster going together to take out the gelatin monsters.

I got this game from the developers, thank you guys!

Graphics is indeed cute and looking good. I really like this retro, pixelate graphics but at the same time looks really like a new game. Characters looks good and the effects are really nice.

Controlls is also pretty easy, however I was a madman and I tried to play this game alone, which was a bad idea… but it’s workable. You can play the game on keyboard or controller too, pretty easy to play it!

DERU - The Art of Cooperation

DERU - The Art of Cooperation

Deru is one of the best co-op games I have played in a while. This game is perfect over Remote Play Together because there’s little need to worry about latency. This game is gorgeous, simplistic, and beautiful. You need to play this game with someone who is patient and communicative, because you WILL mess up. But it’s okay, because each level will end pleasingly and make your combined efforts worth it. The gameplay is simple - move your characters to the goals, while helping each other.

Each level is fresh and unique. Everything is perfectly designed to work together. Once we finish this game, we’ll start again.

The puzzles are interesting in a way that if you get stuck and start just messing around, you figure out innovative stuff and feel smart by accident! There were some levels that were annoying because we thought you had to have really good reflexes to solve them, but it turns out, if you put your mind to it, you can solve them nice and slow. There’s a lot to enjoy here!

Dumpy and Bumpy

Dumpy and Bumpy

Fun little puzzle game with a classic feel. Reminiscent of NES classics like Adventures of Lolo and Kickle Cubicle. Starts off fairly simple but quickly ramps up in to some real challenges that are sure to stump you for a bit. Does a great job of continually adding new mechanics to keep you on your toes. Fantastic pixel art and a fun soundtrack. If you like puzzle games, this is an easy buy at this price.

The game is super adorable

Has a really cute 16 bit aesthetic that looks like it was taken from tetris attack and a few other things

Has two gumpy dinos (which is always a win with me cause I have Bob from bubble bobble tattooed on my arm)

The puzzling is very challenging. It doesn’t feel quite as water tight or smoothly ramped up as a lot of other more famous puzzle games (at least not in the first 50% of the game), but IMO the challenge is still there. Some of the later levels are much easier than some of the earlier levels in the same world. But it’s fine. You still have to beat all 10 to advance anyway! (at least I think you have to beat all 10 to beat a world. at one point I think I might have hit a bug, cause a level spontaneously solved itself without me completing it. that only happened once though and I haven’t reproed it, so I think it isn’t an intended mechanic)

Unknown Castle

Unknown Castle

guide 2 ghosts in an abandoned and obviously haunted castle, looking for secrets, treasure and the castle’s history. it’s a short game with 31 levels, can be completed in about 2 hours, and after some extensive pre-release patching (based on bug reports and feedback mostly by me, as far as I know), I can now sort of recommend it. more of a thumbs sideways really, but if it’s the kind of game you enjoy, it’s okay, especially if you have somebody to play with.

I got this game as a beta key, but I must say I would have bought it, anyway. This is a remake of an old game from 1989 and oh boy, did I love the game back then. It offered a unique blend of skill, action and puzzle and this new game captures exactly these aspects. The game adds additional features and removes old concepts that do not fit into modern games (like lives and the need to start from the beginning every time).

If you know Solomon’s Key, you will feel quite familiar with the concept, but it adds a lot of its own. I can highly recommend the game to anyone who likes puzzle/skill, retro games or the original game from back then.
