Vidya Poker

Vidya Poker

Do you like video poker? So do I! I think this game captures the enjoyment of an arcade style poker game pretty well. I really enjoy the fact that I can play the game (AKA lose money) as fast as I want to or maybe take some time if I have a really buff hand. I also like how casual it is because losses don’t carry near the same weight as real life. I made some videos if you want to check them out.

The customization options are cool because you can change the fronts and backs of the cards and you can change your toon/avatar/mascot in a couple different ways (skins and the 3D model). I like the animations of the default toon but I haven’t gotten enough diamonds yet to buy a different toon. The background can also be changed from the default stormy sky to a plain green background.

It’s ok. If you like to gamble its fun. If you like to play hold em and 3 card poker, but never played video poker like me you might run out of money often.

I played this game and honestly it was such an enjoyable experience, the game is still in development so I can’t wait to see the new levels to be updated with. Always been a fan of puzzle games so if you like puzzle games as well that can challenge you but also maintain a relaxing atmosphere then Iconic would be a good choice. For the price its worth it in my opinion.

This is a really addicting and relaxing game. I find it a bit frustrating at some points and I think some levels aren’t finished, but it’s still good. Definitely give it a try

Model Railway Easily 2

Model Railway Easily 2

If you like to design and build model railroad layouts and then watch the trains go around your layout for hours like I do, then this is the game for you. Takes a minute to get used to the UI and if you have any 3D graphics design experience then it will come naturally to you but if you don’t it just takes a few minutes to get used to. Graphics are great and you can really spend hours fine tuning and get a lot of detail in your design. This is NOT a SIM game where you become a railroad tycoon or something…. It’s just for the fun of using your imagination to design a layout and have fun zooming in and moving all around your finished layout and watching the trains go by…

This game was good for my four year old – a few hours of exploring laying tracks, watching trains go close and far, and making the ground go up and down and seeing the water fill in.

I appreciate the bright, lovely renderings of the trains. They’re handsomely done.

I’m glad there isn’t a puzzle element to it, the open-endedness is what makes it approachable for a young player.

It also seems like you have to create variety at a certain point, and if as a young player you don’t know how to do that, the game loses interest.

老板,游戏凉了!- Game Company Simulator: back to 2000

It’s a fun game. Look up a YouTube video to see the gameplay, because it might be a little different than you think (you don’t design the office, buy furniture, etc. like other game dev tycoon games). The little events are pretty hilarious. Kind of feels like I’m in a Monty Python sketch at times.

Overview:

This has become one of my new favorite games! I have been playing it almost every night to wind down before bed. The music is very relaxing and with dark mode it’s easy on the eyes for nighttime. If you like the aesthetic of Mini Metro and Hexcells I think you will enjoy this game.

Game Modes:

My favorite game modes are Classic and Blitz. I also really love Zen when I just want to play a casual game. I really appreciate that I have the ability to select the type of game I would like to play based on my mood. You aren’t stuck to just one game mode like some other puzzle games. It helps to make the game more dynamic and also addictive! You can play super relaxing game modes or if you are more into fast paced challenging games you have that option as well.

The game do not stress you at all. Just play as long as you want.

Coloree

Coloree

Coloree is a relaxing puzzle game with a very familiar mechanic that I have never seen in a puzzle game before: left-click and drag a box to change the color of everything in the box. The puzzles are increasingly challenging but the aesthetics and the sounds keep the relaxing theme going the whole time.

The reason that the mechanic is familiar is because it’s what we do in an operating system or a game when we want to select multiple things- brilliant! However, this game requires some novel thought processes when thinking about strategies to solve puzzles and it’s easy to get lost in the gameplay. The music and sounds are mostly from a marimba (Google it- it’s a giant xylophone), which plays a big part in setting the ambiance.

Noda

Noda

I love 3D data visualization. It really works when the interface is intuitive and you can focus on your data. It’s also amazing to feel the benefit of externalizing your thoughts in a 3D space - the model that you have in your head gets visualized, so that your mind’s eye is in a feedback loop with your real eyes. From imagination to creation, your idea can take form.

Noda makes this process seamless and easy. The visual design of the world and interface is elemental and intuitive, and the resulting creations are beautiful. I used Noda to organize my music library into different genres, something that I’ve always wanted to do. It’s great when you feel at ease and meditative when creating, and Noda is the ideal VR experience for this.

Hi devs !

I bought Noda and immediately spent a whole night on it, working on my story.

It felt amazing, so thanks for that !

Here are my observations and suggestions :

  • My first working environment choice was “Sky only”, but i had to renounce it when i noticed the teleport couldn’t be used there. Could you add an invisible floor to make moving possible there, and in the empty environment ?

  • I made mistakes sometimes, deleted elements, moved this or that and then changed my mind…. I had to redo a lot of things. I don’t know what kind of coding it would implie, but i would definitely have gained some efficacy, had i had a “Ctrl Z” of some sort.

Roll

Roll

Roll is original and engaging. You roll dice to collect points, and use those points to upgrade your dice. The goal is to get the highest score possible in 2500 rolls.

It is likely to be too ‘mathy’ for some - figuring out which upgrades will generate the most had me setting up spreadsheets. However, some players like that sort of thing and once I got my head around the upgrades (most of the upgrades, there are some I still don’t really understand), I found I could do pretty well playing from the gut - which is more fun for me.

The man behind this game seems to be very passionate about the project. He has been putting out updates very frequently and even wiping leader boards with significant enough changes. he has also targeted and stopped (as far as I can tell) cheaters so the in game leader boards should be fairly accurate. On the limited youtube content available for this game he pops up time to time to interact with people in the comments section and answer questions or even just say hello, seems like a small thing but its kinda the reason I started playing. A random video about it popped up in my youtube feed and after seeing the dev in the comments seem so genuinely happy to talk to people about the game I figured id give it a shot. Im having a great time with this and id say its well worth the $4.99 I paid for it. I normally value my time as a gamer at roughly $1/hr of gameplay and Im only a few days into owning this game and I have already surpassed that mark. This deserves more attention and I think that if a community starts up around this it could really be a fun experience. Honestly my biggest gripe is that if I dont understand something or want to look something up about the game its simply not popular enough for google or youtube to understand what Im talking about and I havent come up with the right buzzword to have a more efficient search. “roll” and “roll game” paired with whatever Im trying to search or even by themselves usually yield either DND results or other games. but Im not even really sure thats any fault of the developer. If you have an extra $5 lying around you wont feel like you wasted it on this game
