It’s the year 2002. Your friend Jason has invited you to his birthday party. “Well, I don’t really care for social–” “It’s at a laser tag arena.” “Now wait a minute.”
While you’re lurching around the arena, ordained with clunky plastic, someone quietly calls out to you. “Psst! Hey! Come ‘ere!” “Huh?!” “Come look at what Gus figured out.”
You stealth your way over to an obscure part of the arena where your friends are waiting. One of them hands you a postage stamp. “Eat this first.” You put the stump in your mouth and wait. “Now what?” “Hit it, Gus.” What does Gus do? He does something really weird with a mirror, a lightbulb, and his laser rifle. The result: BLASK.

Puzzle Frame
It is very challenging to try and remember what the puzzle looked like and to get the pieces in right order to complete.

Puzzle Frame is not your average puzzle game!
It introduces new mechanics to the genre while providing what it says on the tin and then some. The experience is overall very smooth and you can see that a lot of work was spent handpicking everything from music to the extensive (oh so breath taking) images of the gallery. As far as puzzle games go, this one sure does a good job at entertaining you. It deserves your attention.
I don’t usually play this kind of casual games but when I do, I play Puzzle Frame! :)

Euclidean Skies
The levels of the game are interesting and will be quite difficult later on. The game itself looks nice, but at first the controls are weird. I’ve lowered the sensitivity of my mouse almost as far as I can. After a bit of practice, I didn’t have any problems.

I almost didn’t recommend.
The UI is simply terrible. Rotations are all but intuitive. One hardly ever knows which blocks are going to move, in which direction, around which axis precisely… Visibility is also suboptimal. That often transforms puzzle solving into an exercise in randomness, occasionally with moments of frustration.
On the other hand, I don’t completely dislike the chaotic nature of the game. And the art has kept me curious for the next puzzle, so far.
As a result, I can’t usually play more than 1 puzzle or 2 in a session, but I keep coming back for 1 more every few weeks, when I’m in the mood.

I found this game out of the blue, and thought I’d play it, little did I know I’d fall in love with it. I found most of the characters enjoyable, and the humbleness of each of them admirable, though some were more….selfish. I extremely recommend playing this cute, Korean-styled point-and-click adventure game. If I was to point out a downside, there was a lot of back and forth in the final quest, but regardless, it’s able to be beaten within 2 hours.

Very relaxing point and click game over Korean mythology.
Dragons dancing to music was probably the best part in the game.
also what was that large white figure in the darkness you see after talking to the lost crane sibling and faceless animal?

Faerie Solitaire Remastered
I’ve given this remaster 10 hours now and made notes on the differences, and I feel like I can do a decent review now. Disclaimer: I love the original Faerie Solitaire. I got it on sale for 99 cents, and I love it enough that twice now I’ve deleted the game file that keeps track of the in-game feats (not the Steam achievements) so that I could have a more legitimate reason to play it more. I’m not nearly as enamored with this version, so I’ll start with the cons.

7.5/10
I finally decided to give this solitaire game a try after seeing it mentioned as a favorite by users in their reviews of various other solitaire games. I waited for a while to see if it would go on sale, but this apparently has never happened.
Initially, I can see the appeal. In Faerie Solitaire, you collect “eggs” while playing levels, which you can then “hatch.” A creature is then revealed which will grow as you continue to play. Once the creature is “grown,” you can spend a combination of three different resources (also found within the levels) to “evolve” the creature. As far as I can tell, these creatures have no impact at all on completing the game’s solitaire levels – however, they provide an additional progress bar and goal to pursue for players.

Heal
I am disappointed with the game, I think it just wasn’t for and was not what I expected. If you can’t handle clunky controls think twice before buying this. In every single level the game annoyed me with its controls in some way.
I understand that it’s a port, but it could have been done better.
EDIT: Turns out the game is not a port, but a multi platform release. Which does excuse the controls somewhat, since releasing on mobile and PC is difficult. However since PC is the main market for the game, I still believe it could have been done better.

This piano melody seems vaguely familiar…
Heal sets you in the shoes of an unnamed old man as he wakes up from a dreamless sleep. However, the house he wakes up in is different from what you’d expect. Instead of waking up to the same old room, the door is locked and the only way to unlock it is to solve some puzzles around the room. From here, you guide the old man through seven different rooms where you’ll solve many puzzles along the way.
Heal is pretty easy to pick up, both from how it controls and how the puzzles are designed. You control the old man’s movement by just clicking where you want him to go with icons popping up for items or areas that you can interact with. These icons do require you to hold them down for about two seconds, but you’ll pretty quickly get used to it. Usually, this includes zooming into a puzzle (where you’ll be able to click or drag moving pieces), but it also includes looking through a cracked door or a window to see a puzzle hint/solution and walking through a door to get to the next chapter.

🔴 Circles
Circles has an interesting concept with a minimalistic lookout.
The player controls a small circle that has to meet another, a bit bigger circle, of the same color. On the promotional video it looks a bit messy what is going on the screen, but it is easy to figure it out while playing.
Every level has a slightly different mechanics - some are very easy while some require patience or precision. There are 4 extra modes to unlock - they add extra mechanics to the regular levels.
There is no counter or failures nor “no death” achievements. The player can fail as many times as needed and is not being punished in any way, which is great.

You are a circle and need to go from circle A to circle B by moving your mouse.
That’s the only input you need.
There are circular obstacles in your way which you mustn’t touch.
Their diameter increases or decreases depending on your movement or they move depending on your movement.
There are different types of circle obstacles:
Popper: linear to your moved mouse way increasing diameter to a specific value and then decreasing it to zero and then endlessly repeating the loop
Mover: this circle moves along a circle way when you move.

Rosette and Words
Pretty straight forward word find game. It’s good, I like it but I don’t like the long grind they added to finish acheivements. Make bigger word finds or do something original but don’t just make it a grind to make it challanging. Other than that I liked it.
– Real player with 55.5 hrs in game
This game is a very basic and relaxing word search with a very strange choice or words. After each puzzle a rosette is partially revealed for you to look at while you contemplate all the stressful things that made you need this game in the first place. There is a timed and un-timed mode so no need to worry about the clock if you don’t want to. Considering the price, what more could I ask for?
I recommend this game to all those who need a relaxing moment every once in awhile.

Sandmade
Sandmade is a relaxful puzzle game which consists of the player having to match pieces of sand blocks with other sand blocks. You might sit there reading this and scream out easy, and while for the most part it’s true, it also gets progressively harder actually making you look/think at certain patterns to make sure they go into the right place.
The gameplay itself is minimal, it only consists of you clicking your mouse, click to bring up a block (or the two buttons for combining blocks or to stop looking at the blocks) or clicking and holding to drag/rotate blocks. For the most part it works really well, I wish we could’ve been able to rotate the blocks up and down also as opposed to only left and right, but that’s just a nitpick of mine. The puzzles themselves seem to be completely random, as you click out to restart or fail at combining a block (which resets the puzzle fyi) they never seem to be the same and I actually like this as it makes you sit there and think for yourself instead of looking at guides to pass.

What a fun little puzzle game. I spent about 2 hours playing and didn’t even realize it. Definitely worth the $0.99 price tag.
Gameplay is pretty solid, the spinning of the shapes provides an additional level of difficulty, the only penalty for making a mistake is restarting the level, there is no time limit, and there are 100 levels.
The difficulty of the levels increases smoothly as you go and the last quarter of the game is nothing to laugh at. It gets pretty challenging. (As a sidenote, if you are having trouble with the spinning for any reason, and want to compare more than 2 at a time, you can click out of the screen to stop them until you click back in the window)
