Bird’s Eye

Bird’s Eye

Build the best ecosystem in Bird’s Eye — a singleplayer engine-building card game.

A relaxing and family-friendly experience

Bird’s Eye is a relaxing game that features no direct combat, no violence and no strong language. It doesn’t require quick reaction or thinking, it invites you to take your time.

Influence your opponents indirectly

While the game has no direct ways to harm your opponent, you can play a card in their ecosystem, as well as yours. Thwart their plans, while risking giving them a edge.

A chance to learn

Bird’s Eye was built to be more than just a fun game, but an educational experience as well. The game mechanics are designed to closely resemble a self-regulating ecosystem, so the player can learn general ecological concepts in a fun and engaging way. The game has also features an encyclopedia where you can learn about the cards (as well as unlock new ones).

Modding support

Bird’s Eye was built from the ground up to be as modding-friendly as possible. It’s easy to create, share and use community-created cards and game modes with built-in tools and mod manager. Combine different card packs. Pick and choose different parts of the mods you install. Tailor the game experience just to you.

Der Milchbauer

Der Milchbauer

If you need to speed up your carpal tunnels inflamation, this game is your best choice. Buying 300 cows = clicking 300times (+), no +5 , +10, mark with shift etc… If you want to inseminate the 300 cows you have to click 300times, but also need to scroll in slowly reacting list. The worst GUI execution is dragging this game completely down. And with the real economic data, well I am not really sure. Its better to buy the cows and sell them when they stop milking and buy new ones, than to inseminate them. Does not sound reallistic to me.

It’s really, really hard for me to give this game a review. First of all: It’s a very small game, don’t expect anything big. It’s more of a clicker game. You cannot be very active in terms of building visible new buidlings. You can upgrade buildings, but just via text.

The whole game takes place on two screens: The farm screen and the stable screen. There is no tutorial or anything like this, nothing is getting explained, yet the handling is pretty simple and I guess it’s part of the game to explore the few mechanics by yourself. You start off pretty empty with 50k bucks and no cows at all. First step is obviously buying some cows and sell the milk. The nice thing is, the whole game was built around real data from German farmers. The price you get for your milk changes every day and is NEVER really high.

This is a great game where you can change the game as you play it! It’s still in early access, but the idea is amazing, and I am looking forward to see where it goes as it is developed!

112 Operator

112 Operator

Overview

Ol' Il Pallino has a confession to make: He’s never played 9-1-1 Operator going into 1-1-2 Operator, so this review most likely won’t be helpful for players who wonder how both games compare. The selling point for 1-1-2 Operator is obviously the feature that allows players to play sandbox games in any city in the world. Campaigns, however, are limited to a handful of cities in Europe and the gray area that is Istanbul, Turkey. Both the sandbox and campaign start with a story of the player becoming an emergency dispatcher managing a single district through a probationary period, and after three shifts, the player presumably does well enough to unlock more regions on the map (the player gets to pick which regions in sandbox mode) and also gains more units and personnel along the way. (New vehicles may be purchased once unlocked. Equipment may also be purchased for police, medical, and fire units to perform specialized tasks or to simply make units more skillful.) As the player progresses, the situations become more hectic, but if the player knows anything about unit and resource management (and you probably do, or else you wouldn’t be reading this review) the player should have no problem staying on top of tasks no matter how overwhelmed the player feels seeing icons appearing on the screen requesting any combination of police, medical, and/or fire units, and all in real time.

DISCLAIMER: I backed 112 Operator on Kickstarter, and have been playing since Closed Alpha.

TL;DR: I recommend 112 Operator, especially if you’re a fan of 911 Operator.

Features

All the features and events from 911 Operator and its DLCs are there, e.g. earthquake, blackouts, search request, etc. So what about the new features promised in-this game?

[olist]

  • New fire mechanics is one of the highlights of their promotion. Mechanically it works, and it does pose a large challenge to manage this event while considering things like the weather and wind. However, based on experience (on very early build), the mechanics is let down by the often poor pathfinding that the units take. I have had several instances where police units were stuck between the fire or can’t find a proper path to a clear area, thus failing evacuation on the fire’s path. This might’ve been improved in release, but sadly I haven’t been able to see this in action since large area fires occurs very rarely in campaign, and almost never occur in free-game.

Rocksmith® 2014 Edition - Remastered

Rocksmith® 2014 Edition - Remastered

Does exactly what it says on the tin, makes learning guitar more fun for beginners and assists with memorizing new songs or just getting the rust off at any experience level. I put hundreds of hours into this game and the original on xbox back in college, it’s gotten worlds better with all of the DLC though. There are more than 40k songs you can download from Customsforge too, the only drawback is you need a realtone cable if you don’t want to miss notes all the time.

10/10, really has no limits in terms of tunings, timing signatures, techniques/alterations like capos, etc. and tons of replay value in co-op and bonus lead/rhythm/bass arrangements. I’m still consistently surprised by the eclectic mod community uploads and even the published DLC, and once you learn how to transcribe tabs yourself it’s really limitless. Only thing that could make it more perfect would be an option to turn on master mode for specific songs/phrases so you don’t have to play a song 3-4 times to get the notes to disappear

Whether just picking up a guitar for the first time or coming from a musical background, this guitar-playing game is just pure fun with 1000+ songs to choose from in the extensive DLC selection.

Super Ultimatum Quiz

Good quiz game, fun to play with friends or on a party.

Real player with 7.3 hrs in game

Well, the only reason I’ve bought it is because I’m making indie games myself, so it’s for research.

Firstly, it’s one of those games that tries to destroy your GPU. I mean, when I play Assassin’s Creed Origins, the GPU load is not nearly as intense as here. Games like this just give 100% load no matter what, and there is no vertical sync or frame limiter. Yeah, I have 500-600 FPS, but I don’t need that and I don’t want to heat up my video card over a simple quiz game (66 degrees vs 40 in desktop mode). And even with that load the logo on the title screen has terrible aliasing.

Typefighters (Steam Edition)

I’m gonna keep it very short and very.. whatever. I played this game a year ago and I took it again now just for fun xD

Well, I won only one thing in my entire life - European championships for typing speed or something like this. I mean, various titles in the same “competition” type XD

One can probably argue that this is one of the many causes that forced me to undergo surgery three times on my right hand, but this is another story.. xD

Well, I have always typed like at 700-800 characters per minute (NOT WPM, that means WORDS per minute! 800 words per minute I think not even an octopus). So this game was one of my very first choices on Steam.

Real player with 55.6 hrs in game

This game has very great potential and I love the way it’s programmed. It has a very simple design, focusing only on the typing with no superfluous graphic distractions. The amount of modes is nice, and provides variety for those who want a simple game to play, and it also offers multiplayer options with people online. I personally play the Stream Mode, as it lets you know your WPM (since I purchased the game to help me type faster). HOWEVER. At the time of this review, I am VERY disappointed in the word choices: fake words, misspelled words, Roman numerals, acronyms, unnecessary apostrophes, proper nouns that aren’t capitalized, and way too many words about reproductive organs. I’m not sure if users are the ones who contribute to the word lists, but since you have to be online to play this game anyway, I think it would be better if the game just pulled words from an online dictionary instead.

Kerbal Space Program

Kerbal Space Program

I kind of feel it’s late to post a review for KSP at this time as I think that anyone who would be interested in such a game has heard about it by now, but hey, you never know.

For me, KSP is more than a game, it is more like a hobby. You spend hours building your ship, you fill it up with little green Kerbals and then actually fly it to space!

Every milestone you achieve feels extremely satisfying. You feel proud of yourself for every new goal you reach, and not in the way you do in other games, it’s not that you had good reflexes, or that you killed some big boss. You actually designed, built and flew a spaceship! And you did all that using realistic rocket parts, and realistic, unforgiving Physics. No clicking “launch” and poof you’re in space in this game.

Well, actually, this test flight was not my idea…

…doesn’t matter now anyway!

After years of “test flying” I have solid ground under my feet again thanks to the Almighty!Where this uselessness of Jeb is hiding? He really tell me, “Just travel to the moon and back,with his best apprentice till now. No big deal!”. I should have told his grandma about the idea, after all, she would have told me something! Why i was so dumb to agree this flight?

When I get him in my fingers. Believe me! ..Oh..
