Mini Moves: Among Stars
A short but entertaining casual game in which astronaut figures have to be moved to the correctly coloured flags in a limited number of moves. The 40 levels increased in difficulty (including certain paths only usable by a particular astronaut) so that it was very satisfying to work out the solutions to the later levels. Unfortunately the achievements system appears to have broken recently; this was a little disappointing but didn’t spoil my overall enjoyment of the game.

Sliding Blocks
FANTASTIC until it chokes at level 37 in master mode. Bummer.

In short: It’s a perfectly functional, if pretty cheaply-made puzzle game with zero variety, but a lot of content. I’m enjoying myself and the pricing is very fair.
In long: The game has one mechanic and one mechanic only: After 10 tutorial levels there will always be a 6x6 grid on which 2- and 3-tile blocks are arranged so they block the exit. Grabbing them with the mouse allows you to slide them along their length-axis. You need to cleverly slide them back and forth until you’ve moved the target block (always on the third row from the top) to the right edge of the grid so you can slide it out of the exit. There is an undo button which comes in very handy on later levels. There is no time limit (and indeed no time keeping even), but there is a target number of moves on each level which seems to be based on the optimal solution (as I’ve never managed to beat it). Based on your performance you’ll be awarded 1-3 stars, but the game is thankfully very generous in this evaluation. The following move-counts all gave me the full 3 stars: 11/10, 17/15 and 25/21 while 29/24 only awarded me 2 stars. With this leeway it’s fairly easy to 3-star every level.

Best Plumber
Plain and simple connecting tube.
In Best Plumber, you connect pipes from a pump to a container.
Do it quickly and get three stars.
You must be fast enough to get three stars in all levels.
Some levels I had to reload several times before the end.
There is nothing complicated and also super cheap.
The withdrawal game is well worth the money.

Wow. If you liked Pipe Dream in the 90s, you’ll enjoy the similarities.
My biggest complaint is that the pipes can be hard to click on and not always respond as you expect. This means that if you are trying to go for 3 stars on all levels, you’ll start having trouble in the mid-high 20s as the timer is much shorter if you don’t get the ideal path.
There IS a glitch that seems pretty bad. If you set up a line of pipes, the water might not go through all of them even if they are linked. To fix this, flip the problematic pipe and you’re good to go.

Achievement Machine: Cubic Chaos
A fun and entertaining game. I enjoy the colors a lot. It is a point click game, so it is good as it gets for that type of game.

Shopping Clutter 2: Christmas Square
This game was fun for several hours, but then it became increasingly infuriating and, eventually, impossibly difficult.
It should be noted that people who are colorblind, people who cannot see minute differences in color shade or contrast, people who do not have excellent eyesight, and people who do not have instantaneous pattern matching ability will not be able to play this game.
This game has 20 “episodes” (sections), with each episode having 7 matching “puzzles” (hidden object style) and one non-matching “puzzle”. All matching puzzles use the same set of objects and are time-limited; the differences in the puzzles are the rule set by which you must find matches, the starting location of the objects, and the time limit. The non-matching puzzles vary by episode, but are either sliding puzzles or tile-matching memory puzzles, and do not have a time limit.

Its a casual, point-and-click, timed puzzle game with Christmas theme. Has 20 episodes with 7 point-and-click hidden object (time restricted) puzzles and one sliding-tile puzzle (with no time limit) per episode.
Gets a bit annoying in few levels as You need to have razor sharp eyesight along with pattern matching skills. But if You feel a level is too difficult to finish, You can skip the level (not sure how many level skip is allowed per episode). Hints are also available, but You need to recharge it.

Blueprint Word: Classroom
Fun puzzle game with some interesting variations. This game offers as “easy” mode as well as a “hard” mode from the first game. Ideal for a casual drop in and play for a while situation.

disclaimer: I helped with testing the game before release, but receiving the game for free didn’t affect the review.
bluepring word is a neat puzzle game (my review of it can be found here ), and so is the sequel. it’s more of the same for the most part, create words or sentences by rotating and moving letters around on more than 120 levels, but there are some new mechanics.

Minesweeper Classy
As far as I’m concerned, this is the best version of minesweeper on steam. This version feels smooth, has interesting levels, and keeps track of your win rates and best times. The hint system is useful in removing some risk of random guessing from your runs. These are all good additions. I do however have some gripes that are potential deal-breakers. The game allows you to unlock different color schemes, but none of them have anything close to a night-mode style. Every single color scheme has white tiles, which means lots of flash-bangs. Unfortunately, the free minesweeper browser version gives this a good run for it’s money. The browser version also has color coded numbers for easier pattern recognition. I wish this was an option as well. Once you get used to playing with colored numbers, it takes you a minute to think about certain moves when you play without. This version is well worth the money, because minesweeper is difficult to get wrong, but I do with it had a few more options for customizing the appearance of the game. Either way, if you enjoy playing minesweeper, this is well worth your time.

Nancy Drew®: Trail of the Twister
One of the weakest ND games I’ve played (I’ve played around of third of them, mostly the older titles) so it would not be one I would ever recommend to someone new to the series. It does have some bright spots though that keep me from giving it the thumbs down.
The puzzles were numerous and varied. Many were of a similar type, but there was a nice and natural progression in difficulty I didn’t really notice until far along in the game. I particularly enjoyed the camera puzzle, despite it taking me the longest to complete. The mouse trap chore/puzzle appeared a few times too many; it was one of the easier and more tedious puzzles so it was annoying that it appeared so often. The tv puzzle was nauseating and I hate it.

This game is fantastic! I didn’t even get bored once playing this game, it kept me entertained the whole way through! :) As usual, though, just about all the puzzles were too hard. Disappointed in Her Interactive’s puzzle-making again, they hardly ever come up with ones that are enjoyable :( There are 2 that are extremely fun to do, and are easy enough to figure out without the walkthrough (like when you have to catch the mice, and fix Scott’s phone) but the majority of the puzzles, were just, BLECGH!

Bing Bong XL
The game is 80 eurocents or your regional equivalent, point being that it costs nearly nothing, while delivering similar quality Nickervision’s earlier games have.
The game isn’t meant to be much, just a simple score attack game that you might play for a little bit and never touch again. It does this well, and manages to stay fun despite the repetitive gameplay, and I feel like I’ve already gotten my money’s worth at 1,6 hours. In this time, I managed to get almost all the achievements, and I’ll probably play it a bunch more considering the other games Nickervision has made.

This game is fun, with the game mechanics and the music working very well together. It’s easy to find yourself lost trying to keep putting your personal best score. I recommend picking up this game if you like simplistic, minimalist games that challenge you to incrementally improve your read and react response to the game environment.
I’m stealing a conclusion paragraph from user tautegory: “Overall, I would say that Bing Bong is the distillation of the quintessential Nickervision mechanics. Everything works well together and creates a fun time waster. To be honest I was expecting a shallow and empty design like most abstract arcade games on mobile. I was pleasantly surprised and glad I picked up these games.”
