Skip Lake

Skip Lake

Short, not too difficult reflection game. Usually these mechanics are used with light rays that have to end up in a certain location; in this case it’s a stone that magically keeps bouncing over water. Difficulty is not very consistent, some puzzles will take some pondering and tweaking and retrying, others will be clear at the first glance.

I very much liked the visuals and the sound effects, and found myself looking for longer routes to listen to the new ‘melodies’. The soundtrack was definitely not for me, and I had to turn it off every single time I started the game. It also did not remember my preference to play windowed and bounced back to full screen every restart. My last little peeve was that you can’t return to the menu or home screen between levels - you have to start or redo a level to get back the menu.

Casual puzzles with a peaceful ambience. Most solutions amount to lining up the most intuitive positions, with a few requiring some more tries. While quite easy, it is fun and rewarding. There are also hidden objects to find which give a bit of story. My only issues: no touchscreen support, so it’s a lot of touchpad/mouse clicking. Also the backgrounds move when you move your cursor,even when you are just moving from the reflectors to the start button on every level, which I found a little annoying. It would be nice to be able to turn this off and have the screen only move when you actually move the cursor to an edge.

Regrowth

Regrowth

Take some time off and relax

Regrowth is a game that I could enjoy even when i had little time to myself. The various mechanics - which on their own look pretty simple and self explanatory- and layouts of the puzzles make for an intriguing and often challenging experience. Quite often changing mindsets and/or gradual optimisation were the keys to solving the levels, and it gives the player a good amount of satisfaction each time it all finally comes together.

I think these kind of puzzle games are a nice way to keep ones mind thinking on simpler things for a while, in a cute, relaxing atmosphere, so I’d definitely it recommend for anyone.

The game is a realy refreshing experience, especially nowadays when everything is about reflection time, high speed hand-eye coordination. I find it amazingly important for these hidden gems to exist, so a troubled mind can find some peace. Regrowth has a charming, fantasy-like look, which fits in greatly with the immersive story with which anybody could relate. The puzzles are just challenging enough to create some intellecutal relaxation after a hard day’s mental work. However, besides all those points I have mentioned, the most important aspect of the game is…you can plant some green dude! :D

Bunny’s Flowers

Bunny’s Flowers

On the surface it looks like a quaint little pastime, but once you play you start realise it actually is a psychological horror game. These levels are designed to torture your mind and once you’ve come back to the brink of sanity after completing a puzzle, you’re sent right over the moment you progress to the next one. This continuous cycle will break you utterly as it did me.

The only thing that kept me going was Adam and Diego’s strong relationship, I had to do it for them

(In all seriousness this game is pretty great, really enjoyed getting stuck on a lot of the puzzles)

This was a fun game, especially for someone who isn’t a full proper gamer and is rather new to playing games. I liked the puzzles and definitely will be playing through it again :) It’s very cute, I love that every level is named after a flower. I wish it were longer and I wish the interactions had been more interactive, but I still enjoyed it a ton

Floating Farmer - Logic Puzzle

Floating Farmer - Logic Puzzle

Cute, relaxing, not too hard. It took me a little under 5 hours to finish the 50 puzzles.

Young players might enjoy this, though they may need help learning how to move a tile where they want it to go. It’s a bit like Rubik’s Cube but nowhere as difficult!

I liked it, it’s a way of living in a farm environment, in addition to these cute animals, the puzzle sometimes gets a little complicated, but I’m getting used to the game and so it gives pleasure to complete the challenge.

Hidden Shapes Animals - Jigsaw Puzzle Game

Really enjoyed the chill vibe (my wife was listening to me play, and the music was soothing her to sleep, lol), and the puzzles were progressively challenging, but not frustratingly so - at least I didn’t find them that way. I also appreciated that the hint system (which I needed a few times to ferret out some misoriented pieces that weren’t at all obvious to me) doesn’t penalize you in any way. If you’re looking for a nice, relaxing, puzzle game, definitely give this one a go. I’ll definitely look out for other stuff put out by this developer. :-)

A dollar gets you a nice set of nature themed puzzles on a dark background that is easy on the eyes. The images are solved by turning the pieces in place, not by moving them on the board. So there is no ‘dragging and dropping’ which I like. Pieces only turn one way so if you turn it one too far you have to turn it three more times to get it back where you want it. The line art is nice and a starry background appears when you finish each puzzle. The music is peaceful. Best played in the dark to appreciate the night-sky visual theme. Good for a relaxing, casual puzzle. Note: using the hint function, press the hint button again to get back to puzzle-solving mode. The pieces are locked in the the hint mode and can’t be turned.

This game has potential if it was developed upon, Took me a total of 1 hr and 16 mins to complete. Not bad.

I would recommend the game if you have a spare hour and honestly just looking for something to pass the time.

Some things i would add/change if i was the developer;

  • Pause screen (Instead of hitting ESC to pause instead closes the game)

  • Mute music only button, I think the sounds are good except the music. Found that annoying.

  • Make the “Level Complete” stand out more.

  • Allow level replayability.
