Limiter!
This is a very good puzzler with a great OST .
Sadly this one goes in the buried gems category, it is always sad to see a quality game like this not getting more attention.
The game has some very smartly designed and tricky levels, more then enough content, most of the game is medium difficulty but there are harder levels and for me they are a highlight of this game.
This game is pure quality in every aspect and worth every cent.

The movement is intuitive enough for you to work backwards - so you can get ideas as to what needs to be done without the entire puzzle being spoiled. I’d recommend it if you’re looking for a ~10 hour ish puzzle game.

I really want to give this a good review but I have only been playing for a bit (5h or so of play) and I think I am done? No progression, unlimited cash, most runs. If it goes no where then what is the point? I have done a few runs and it seems very limited in variety. ALso, fix the numbers, add notation or something to that at least we can see the big numbers. This game needs some work to be worth paying for.

Fun little game, needs lots more items and has some balancing issues and bugs
On my first game I have found Assembly Line + Stacking Use ‘em is very broken, add some above and below 10 free money and you can catapult into the stratosphere very quickly.
I ended up getting so much money I caused a buffer overflow plunging me into negative coin values XD
Would like to see more than 28 items, as you get to know all of them and which ones are useful and which are not very quickly.
Needs some more work to make the gameplay interesting for much longer than half an hour or so

Very pleasant game. I love simple principles but that can get you scratching your head for minutes. The VHS type art style and oniric music really got me out of my mind for a moment. Good job!

Hack Grid
Full disclosure: I was a playtester for this game.
In Hack Grid each level has a different setup of pieces and trails within a 4x4 grid (sometimes it’s smaller).
In order to move a piece, it must have a straight line of trails or empty sockets leading to a differently colored piece. What makes the grids interesting is not only the different setups of pieces, but also the way the trails connect between them; It varies from level to level, and sometimes the lack of a direct trail between two pieces can trip you up, if you are not paying enough attention to the trails.

Do you have some free time during your evening? Do you like puzzle games? Are you nostalgic for DOS aesthetics? Great, then Hack Grid is a game just for you!
This is a well-made game. Sure, it’s relatively short, but I think it has just enough puzzles to explore its simple, yet entertaining gameplay. I didn’t encounter any bugs, it runs smoothly. Graphics are minimalistic, very nice, and you can spice them up a little with CRT filter. Puzzle themselves have a right level of difficulty, and you get some new mechanic once in a while, so you don’t get bored.

Paquerette Down the Bunburrows
The bunburrows are filled with the cutest bunnies… and Pâquerette wants them all!!
U=๏ x ๏=U U=๏ x ๏=U U=๏ x ๏=U
The bunnies flee when Pâquerette gets too close: they will dash through the tunnels carefully avoiding dead ends. Will you let the lil critters outsmart you?
-
Use the bunnies’ smart yet predictable behaviours against them!
-
Resort to various tools such as traps, pickaxes and carrots when simply manipulating the bunnies' moves isn’t quite enough!
-
Explore diverse bunburrows, each featuring their own distinct visual and musical themes (and maybe some special bunnies??)
-
Capturing bunnies is all fun and games but Pâquerette would also love to find some baby bunnies, but how?
-
Secrets may lurk deep down the bunburrows…
-
and the most important feature: BUNNIES
This game was originally created for the Ludum Dare Game Jam 48!

More interesting reviews on Fenol Baron Approves Curator Page
A very difficult game to evaluate, especially considering the peculiarities of the whole puzzle genre, once exalted by the legendary game Myst. It should be said right away that the game was beaten on hardcore difficulty mode (without prompts and with complicated puzzles), so it is quite possible that some things that I strongly disliked on normal difficulty are perceived quite adequately. As the successor to the popular Schizm series, the game quite rightly knows what it will be played for. Puzzles. A large number of puzzles. And this is in abundance here, we will return to their detailed analysis a little later, for now, let’s just say that almost everyone will have to make a huge amount of effort to solve, sometimes justified, but sometimes not so much.

Foreword:
While I didn’t recommend it at first I now completed a playthrough on “hard” difficulty. There were a few puzzles actually made me think for more than an hour. Pressing buttons at random isn’t my playstyle so I think first and bring my thoughts to paper. Once written down I try to translate my notes into actions.
Succeeding that way is the best achievement for me and is what I want when i play. I really like the design choice as it reminds me of some puzzle games I’ve already played.

Pipe Mania
A very interesting game!
– Real player with 10.9 hrs in game
I got to admit, all I really wanted was a slightly upgraded version of the Win 3.1 Pipe Dream. This version is similar and offers a few nice quality of life improvements, but it makes the game unnecessarily complicated and suffers from technical issues: it manages to run slower than Crysis, has broken videos and no display settings to speak of. There is also a fairly long intro that makes each gameplay session a commitment.

GraviFire
Puzzle game with very interesting mechanics and charming pixel art. Game is a bit short, with only 50 levels. Difficulty isn’t that hard, enough to make you think, but the lack of an undo button can get pretty annoying, and I feel that it adds some artificial difficulty, but the game is still pretty doable with patience. Having said that, it is pretty cheap, and is unique enough for me to be worth a buy.

gravifire is a sokoban-like/sliding hybrid set in space. block pushing comes into play by directly controlling a green alien trapped inside a strong body suit or something (there’s a short cutscene at the beginning), so you can move stuff around yourself, but the gravity changing mechanic moves all the crates in the same direction at the same time, hence the likeness to sliding puzzlers.

Basic Info
Genre: Puzzle Game
Difficulty: Easy-Medium
Gameplay
Rating: 7/10
You are a robot tasked with removing ALL the boxes in the room.
To remove boxes you have to move them and match two, three or four boxes of the same color.
While this may sound simple enough, some levels have obstacles, making boxes harder to move and one wrong move might make a box impossible to more if you pushed it against a wall.
Luckily to have you have 5 “Undos”, which each will take you and the boxes you have moved back one move.

There is nothing hugely wrong with it, its got a good aesthetic, and its tried and tested sokoban play.
but Sokoban and its many, many clones are free, have thousands of levels, that get to maddening levels of difficulty.
This game costs 1.79, has 40 levels, and you can finish it in half an hour.
With more content it could have scraped by with a recommend, though I think even a good clone of Sokoban (which is over three decades old now) should have more mechanics and such to make it interesting.

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.
