Dojoran - Steam Edition
It’s so good I picked it up and played it for 6 hours right after I bought it
I have some minor complaints, like for example the camera is too zoomed in and jerks around when you change directions, the monochrome pixel art sometimes makes it hard to see certain hazards, and it takes longer than it should to respawn considering how much you will die.
These minor complaints are utterly dwarfed by the smooth controls, stylish pixel art, and challenging levels, each of which have several collectibles to add extra challenge and replay value. This is easily among my favorite precision platformers along with Celeste, Rite, and N++.

Bird Game
It’s a simple by design, but very hard game. So if you want to just get a game for 1 evening to “just relax” this is not game for you.
But if you want some hardcore flying simulation with 2 bosses, each of whom has 30+ different attacks (no joke) and who by the end kill you with 1 hit, if you want that kind of old-school gameplay - this is game for you.
Pros:
1. Game is very challenging, and bosses are great. Levels are nicely designed too.
2. Music is fitting.
3. Graphics are also neat, you can choose between normal view and negative (my choice btw).

It’s a bit of a challenge to describe how I feel about Bird Game. It seems at once heavily influenced by many games yet novel. Simultaneously relaxing and challenging. Playful, yet serious. Thoughtful, but occasionally, quite flawed. The way it finds a balance in its contrasting elements is so artful that it hurts to be disappointed by its shortcomings.

Dialogue Box: The Road Less Traveled
The choices are simple, picking is hard.
In “Dialogue Box: The road less traveled”, you will navigate a whimsical landscape while failing to keep your sanity.
The controls are extremely unintuitive and the humor is cheesy to a fault.
I am a great salesman.

TumbleSeed
(At this current point in time, currently at 100 hours on steam and around 3000-4000 on the alpha/beta builds.)
So i’ve played this game since it’s been available on alpha.
Throughout since i’ve seen these dedicated developers go onto a multitude of alpha builds to a few months ago going into beta.
They are releasing new content in the future after release, a bit of a spoiler for people there. Can’t confirm whether through updates or dlc / both though.
Now into my review of the game in it’s current state.
– Real player with 157.4 hrs in game
Tumbleseed is a.. balancing platformer? If you saw the video or screenshots you’ll already know that you have to balance a ball (seed) on top of a screen-wide platform(Vine). What you might be confused about is how it actually works, which I was before playing it.
Basically, you move each end of the Vine separately up or down. So if you’re on a controller, left stick moves the left end and right the right end. You go up by moving both sides up, etc.
What makes this interesting is the lack of direct control of the seed. Moving around is based on momentum and your ability to approximate how far the seed will roll based on how much you tilt the Vine. It will feel confusing as hell at first and you might have to play a bit to really grasp how much your movements affect it.

Lumberjack Simulator
Well, after playing Lumberjack Simulator for over 44 hours now I feel I can wholeheartedly recommend it. It may have a tough learning curve due to the large amount of different vehicles and the unusual key commands, but it is so worth it after you learn the basics of a few machines. I had enough fun in the beginning of career just cutting down a few trees and running them through a chipper to make a few bucks but then you can advance through much more complex machines. There is also ‘open world’ play with easy, medium, and hard levels.

Let me first start off by saying the product I am reviewing is the Steam Early Access!
No, I was not paid to say any of this, this is all 100% my personal opinions of what I think about the game.
Detailed review or SKIP to TLDR
Who is this game for?
If you love forestry or any sort of logging or have a curiosity for it, or just would like to give yourself a challenge out in the forest, then I believe this game will be for you!
(Now, not to compare, but I am doing so purely from a review point to point out the key features that Lumberjack Simulator has over other games!)

Of Mice and Moggies
Love letter for Sokoban fans. I especially enjoyed the leaderboards and optimizing move counts for solutions. Has a really good level editor, which is a good place to dip your toes in if you have ever wanted to create your own puzzles but don’t have a starting point. The developer is very friendly.
– Real player with 73.5 hrs in game
Unbridled feline aggression and tricky problem-solving converge in a most satisfying manner in Of Mice and Moggies, a stellar Sokoban variant with a sedate, bucolic backdrop. A belligerent brown cat has embarked on an extensive hunting expedition spanning numerous locales, and he needs your wise direction in order to effectively bag the prey. Manipulative mice, airborne bunnies, and elusive lizards are the prime targets for this frisky fighter. These cunning creatures won’t be subdued easily and will take flight when the combative cat occupies an adjacent segment of turf; should an animal reach the outer perimeter of the playing field and escape, it’s time to head back to the clawing board. If a patch of tall grass isn’t available in order to launch a stealth assault, players will need to discover various ways to entrap the hunted before they can be knocked out. Pronounced purring follows every successful conquest. The sequence of movements made to complete each level are recorded and can be reviewed in order to assist players in identifying optimal solutions; this feature is particularly welcome since a handful of the levels can actually be solved with fewer moves than the designated perfect solutions imply. A versatile level editor and some unlockable minigames are nestled amongst the shrubbery, but the core levels are so thoughtfully concocted they more than stand on their own. Block-pushing buffs certainly won’t want to miss out on this compelling collection of countryside conundrums.

The Long Gate
The first thing you notice about this game is the grandeur and mystery of its environment, and it doesn’t ever let up; as I moved through the different sections of the game I marveled at the design of the machinery and rooms. The soundtrack provides an excellent backdrop to levels that are variously organic, mechanical, dark, and alien. The puzzles themselves are unlike anything I’ve seen in a game before. Built on the simple (and very much real) principles of electricity, the puzzles quickly take you from clicking on/off switches to troubleshooting gigantic electromechanical computers. Sometimes the goal is clear, other times not so much. This forced me to experiment and learn the principles before I could really solve anything complicated. The learning curve steps up quite a bit at some points, but not unreasonably so. A very satisfying challenge with plenty of those “oh I get it now” dopamine hits. Highly recommended.

Ok, so I’ve just finished the game for the first time (replaying soon because I still need that sweet, sweet 100% engineer mode achievement!) but I wanted to get my immediate feedback at 14.4hrs in onto paper :P
Firstly, a bit of my background. I’m a researcher in Computational Chemistry, and have a keen interest in quantum computing and electronics. I mention this as I think I’m not your typical audience, as not every gamer will have my experience with these kinds of things.
Onto the review! Spoilers abound from here on out so don’t read on if you care about those!
