Against the Gradient

Against the Gradient

This game annoys me. It covers only four real transporters, and the rest are “nanobots” (so they can transport chemicals in both directions). And these two-way transporters work ONLY from higher to lower concentrations, rather than evening the concentrations in an only statistical sense, like in real cells. In that sense, I’d consider it “educational” only in the barest sense, and it’s not super-fun as a game either – but it could be. The only reason I’m voting “yes” is that with so few reviews a negative one would be devastating, and I’d like to see this improved upon. Surely a more complicated (and more realistic) cell-management game could be a lot of fun AND very educational.

Interesting way of apllying learning to a game. The idea is reatively simiple and straight forward, get the germs from point A to point B. Of course luck will play a hug part in this game. Either way it is still woth the time for younger children as they can learn a thing or two while playing so for that reason I recommend the game!

This is a really relaxing game. I been playing on and off. Tooka break when I couldn’t figure it out. Love it, highly recommend for anyone who need to de-stress and figure this puzzle out. The music is not bad, sometimes I listen to it but I think it could use a variety, but regardless over all, I love it :D Plus the kitty is what drawn me to the game, so thats a cute bonus factor xD

Short, Adorable and Fun

I am a simple person and bought this game because I like puzzles and black cats. Due to it being so cheap, I expected nothing, but I am pleasantly surprised. This is a very cute puzzle game that starts off easy then gets gradually more and more difficult.

Pros

[olist]

  • Fun but simple mechanics that get more complex as you progress. The later levels definitely offer a decent challenge but feel very satisfying to complete.* The Easter Eggs are really cute. I love the Death Stranding one. Too cute!

This game is weird, and that is awesome.

The concept of ‘puzzle’ in this game is the one of ‘optimization,’ because if you stitch here and there not really knowing what you are doing you can easily beat the first few levels of the game, but it becomes clear that you have to be more precise and intuitive if you want to get those three star ratings and finish the game! I definitely recommend this to people who are more used to puzzle games, but if you are looking for the most difficult of challenges, this may not be you…

Monsters and Medicine

Monsters and Medicine

Charming game play with a nice puzzle mechanic.

If you want a pure puzzle where you can win every time, this isn’t it, but a casual player will find satisfaction when winning a level. The monsters are so cute, how can you not help them?

Real player with 471.5 hrs in game

Lovely little game with great graphics and sound and interesting mechanics. My only complaint is that sometimes RNG will kick you in the pants and there’s nothing you can do but restart. But even losing is fun!

Puzzle Frame

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! :)

10,000,000

10,000,000

10,000,000. An RPGish, Bejeweled-like game. Well… ok…

While the game does have an interesting concept it annoyingly relies on luck and what tiles the game decides to generate more than anything else, much like Bejeweled or similar puzzle games. If a monster is in your path, you’ll have to quickly match sword or staff tiles to do damage. A locked chest requires matching key tiles. And as tiles are random, one might find oneself stuck, matching any tiles at all, hoping to match enough of what is needed before time is up.

Picked this up in a sale in a sale a while back. Looked like a nice casual match-3 with a retro twist. Well, the second part is certainly true, but I’m no longer so sure about the casual part.

In 10,000,000 the player character is controlled by matching 3 or more of the same tiles as he runs through dungeons. The actions range from attacking encountered monsters to collecting resources to opening doors and chests. So far it sounds simple, and perhaps still qualifies as a casual game. Now add to the whole mix some serious time pressure – the time limits for the dungeons are very tight, and the only way to add time is to keep matching large sets of tiles and scoring combos; on the other hand just about anything in the dungeon is hell-bent on reducing your remaining time! Enemy attacks drain your time, doors and chests block your way until opened, and all you have to rely on is a randomly-populated board of tiles. Yeah, not so casual anymore.

Same game as Blokker , with new levels and a slightly different (and slightly worse) aesthetic.

(The transparent cursor is a curse, by the way: I often have to move my mouse around to find where it is.)
