Beat Biome
Play music through your headset and Beat Biome will automatically pick it up, reacting to the beats and wavelengths!
This is a pretty small trip, but fun none the less. Enjoy several psychedelic environments, even create your own! Just play some music and chill out, maybe lie down or bust a move. It’s up to you how to enjoy this, just keep an open mind and two open ears.
If this blows up I’ll make some more content, but in the meantime leave your comments in a review or email me directly with any bugs/feedback/etc you have. I’m a single developer and just made this for fun, so please be understanding if I can’t get to everything. Thanks, and enjoy!

Cloud Gardens
When I first went to play Cloud Gardens, I didn’t know what to expect. Come to find out, that’s exactly how you should approach this game.
Cloud Gardens is a unique experience that’s hard to describe or compare. It’s partly a gardening simulator, partly a Dystopian landscape builder, and partly a puzzle game that is both satisfying and without frustration. Any and all preconceptions I had about the game were dashed as soon as I started playing it.
Not only is the game beautiful and unique, but it also hits all the right marks: The controls and level design are absolutely on point. It’s so much effortless fun working your way through level after level, and when you fail a level it’s no big deal to go back and try it again. As a matter of fact, you’ll look forward to it.

This game is so satisfying! At first it’s so simple you might think you’re playing a repetitive and boring experience, but it quickly gets more and more creative and captivating. Some levels are shorter and offer less room for wild creativity, which creates a good pacing considering the large amount of levels in the game (I’m not even halfway through apparently).
I almost never write a review before completing a game, but this is something else. Good vibe with simple and solid mechanics, charming pixel art, and a surprising amount of player agency: you’re growing plants, sure, but also placing (or dropping) all kinds of objects near your plants to make them grow. Those objects let you create storytelling in every scene, then make great foundations for more procedurally-creative plant growth. This is also why the initial simplicity might be misleading: at first, there’s not much room to expand, but wait until you add vehicles and buildings on larger levels to see the true potential of the game. There’s a puzzle element to it, too, for reaching 100% and completing each level.

The Kalalau Trail
Very epic hiking simulator. Slightly less physically demanding than the real trail as well which is nice.

Compost
A fun little game that is a mix of tower defense and critter simulation.
There are many various critters in the game with each type having their own behavior and priorities,
some being peaceful, some preying on other types of critters, some plants having different ways to spread, some critters eating specific plants and so on, which makes for a surprising amount of artificial intelligence in the game.
You don’t control anything directly but instead are given power to generate a breeze that gently pushes stuff around.

This is a great game! A retro style with a current social feel! Some things I like about it:
1. It feel like playing one of my arcade machines
2. Who doesnt want their garden to thrive?
3. The game is explained just enough that makes you think about what you need to do in order for your garden to stay healthy
4. While there are not tons of critters/plants/baddies to understand its great fun learning how they all interact and what they do
I really do enjoy playing this game and look forward to the next round of mouse clicking madness! (thank goodness for pause!)

Daffodil Yellow: A few poems from an insect collector
“Daffodil Yellow: a few poems from an insect collector” is a 3D game/interactive experience about the reconciliation between someone and a season.
The story takes place at the very beginning of summer. This season makes the collector see everything in black and white. One day, after taking a nap, he turns into a butterfly.
He will go through three memories that are dear to him, which took place during previous summers. Looking for a color in each of them, he will repaint his current summer.

Guppy
Relaxing fun, especially when you get good at swimming fast.
Controller support didn’t work for me (Steam/Linux) but configured as keyboard instead.
For the price well worth a punt.

Guppy is a poetic game, which lets you control a fish by moving its tail left and right.
No other control is used; and every movement of the tail is propelling the fish in the direction of the movement. Used alternatively, left and right movements allow the fish to progress forward, or any way you so desire; by gauging how much of each movement to produce.
Both the left and right sticks can be used; but the game really shines when shoulder controls are used, epecially the analog ones. I am unsure as if the game is using them in an analog fashion (I think not), but using them feels most natural to me.

Portable Farm
i tested this game before it released and it is a great down-time waster. loading screen? farm time. boring section of a game? farm time. not time to farm? farm time. farm time is anytime. the seasons and soil qualities give it some extra depth, though isnt necessary to still enjoy. i do somewhat wish for some more, higher tiered goal, but i understand the lack of one for now. oh and i should also mention that this is a 3d overlay in vr, which is something i have never seen before, and the dev here has done a wonderful job, while also listening to the testers about what changes and additions to the farm should be made. if OVRtools is 12 bucks, then this should be considered a steal with the $5 price tag. also give the demo a shot if you are iffy on performance issues. that is why it is there, after all.

A very fun little overlay game to help pass time while playing other games.
You plant, grow and customise your farm with money from crops. You maintain your plots with multiple types of fertilisers and you just grind for more money. The money system seems balanced and well thought out. The seasons system gives more variety throughout the year.
I find myself spending more time in the farm tending to my garden than actually playing my games at times.
I can see that the developer really likes the work they do and it sure shows in the product!

spider ponds
Spiderponds was an enjoyable game, though I found some part a bit difficult. The story was short but enjoyable - and had a little bit of a twist at the end. One of my top recommendations from Sokpop, provided you like the genre.

Universe Generator: The Golden Sword
A fever dream set within the world of Yeli Orog once again.

Bizarre experience in the best way possible. This game left me with a lot of thoughts and curiosity about things that would get me weird looks if I brought them up at a party. Very short game which I count as a positive since we all have a limited time being alive on this earth, and no one wants their time to be wasted.
5/5, whatever this studio decides to do next, I’m here for the ride.
