Overgrown
At first the game was fun, with all of the obstacles and everything. But after the 5th level, everything became more of a headache instead of entertainment. Not to mention, all of the achievements seem to require a 3 star rating, which was not specified. And since all of the levels become extremely difficult and tedious, you can’t get the achievements. Also, the achievement “Ultimate Scrapbooker” does not unlock even when finishing the game.

The Tree
Good art and sound design, but the game is too buggy and the tutorial is bad. Sometimes I can’t place pieces anywhere and the game doesn’t let me do anything.

VoxFox
I got my $0.92 USD out of this game, but it has a lot of problems …
VoxFox is a very simplistic game, and becomes boring quickly … from the way it plays, it’s a ‘shovelware’ type of game. To be honest I would recommend a game called ‘SimLife’ instead of VoxFox.
Some issues I noticed:
1: frame rate problems, despite being simplistic .
2: trees, rocks, and other items stack on top of each other when placed in the same tile
3: unlimited ‘homes’ can be placed in the same tile, despite the animals not being able to come out

Great Game keep it up!

Dinogotchi
Dinogotchi reminds me of all the tamagotchis I had as a child, they’re all dead… But Dinogotchi is different, the game has a nice and cute art, the music and sound effects are nice but I feel like the game in general could have a extra polish.
I recommend the game, especially for those who already had tamagotchis in their childhood or for those interested in the genre.

I am editing my review to update my opinions on the game, I will keep the original at the bottom of this for context, my biggest issues with parts of the game being unplayable is fixed so I think it’s fair and time to change this. :)
The developer of this game has done a good job at making a cute game and being open to criticism and fixing the problems. All the issues I reported were fixed really fast and it gives me a lot of hope for future updates.
The pixel art in the game is really well done, all the dinosaurs look cute and recognisable and overall really pleasant to look at. The UI is really nice and was updated recently to make the happiness, hunger and energy icons more clean which wasn’t necessary but a really nice change. The music is also very nice and cute, I enjoy it a lot, more songs would be nice but this is still good.

Oasis: Dark Forest
If you like Tower Defense and Base Construction games;
If you like to defeat a large number of enemies through a reasonable array;
If you like concise and refreshing pictures;
If you like the Roguelike element
This is the game you’re looking for.
This is a land ruled by darkness, and you are the only light. Here is the Dark Forest;
You must protect your holy tree, which is the foundation of all life;
Your trees will form a solid defense line against the Dark Forest and the Ghost Army from the darkness;
Your strategy, operation and willpower will determine the direction of the war.
In the Dark Forest,
Each level has a carefully customized terrain structure, but trees, monsters and resources will be generated randomly, so each game is a new exploration;
You will randomly get three evolution items when each rank of enemy is defeated. How to choose the most suitable update will affect the direction of the war;
You will get the opportunity to evacuate safely in specific ranks. Although you will gain more from continuing to fight, if you mistakenly evaluate the situation, you will be defeated and get nothing in this battle;
The resources you collect in the level will be used to evolve your Technology Tree, so as to gain more power in subsequent battles.
Please don’t be confused by the concise style. Although it is very easy to get started, the war situation full of changes and challenges absolutely needs to be dealt with attentively.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have feedback, questions, or problems with the game. We’ll do our best to get back to you as quickly as possible and provide support if needed. Also let me know if you enjoyed the game, that means much to me!
Thank you for playing and your support!

Empires of the Undergrowth
One of my favorite indie games. While only in early access, it easily has several hours worth of content already.
Four colony types are available as of posting, with more to be released in the future, each with its own unique features. The ereptor, gene thief ants, a fictional species that allows the player to mix in other ant species and their abilities; the fusca, black ants, which act as an introductory species with basic worker and soldier roles; the rufa, wood ants, which split their soldiers between defensive and offensive roles; the atta, leaf cutter ants, which have a unique resource system involving gathering, food production, and waste disposal, as well as four castes to make resources and combat more dynamic.

This game is great and is most likely to be enjoyed by fans of the real time strategy genre. Currently there are 4 levels each with a challenge mode and many difficulty settings which you will tackle as you control two different species of ant colony. The ants must collect food to grow their colony which can in itself have various different methods applied such as the strategic placement of tiles for upgrading purposes to the ratio of worker ants to warrior ants so that they can defeat the many hungry predators around them which seek to devour their queen! For those who like a challenge you will get quite a bit of enjoyment and playtime from tackling the hardest versions of these levels as for others this will be a shorter 2-3 hour experience which will be enjoyable nonetheless. inbetween these levels you will visit your formicariam (ANT TANK) where your success in these levels provides resources for your main colony which is a species of ant that can take the genes from other ant species and have their queen produce them within the colony. This formicarium colony itself has two challenges to face which are kind of like a hoard mode. If you finish all of this content and are still eager for more there are a handfull of other modes which may entertain for awhile such as the demo levels (earlier levels with a more basic concept), arena mode (a mode where you can pit various creatures found in the game against each other) and Freeplay mode (where you start a colony on one of two maps with many options for you to tweak for a customised experience which is scored upon the defeat of your colony) and finally the hungry spider level which sees you take control of the one of the ants most deadly predators THE WOLF SPIDER! (This is a slight genre flip as you control the one spider which grows and levels as you defeat enemies working your way up to bringing down other huge predators.) I very highly reccomend this game and support the development team who are constantly keeping the community around the game informed on what they are working on next.

Farmer’s Defence
Start off as a simple Farmer: plow, plant, water, and harvest your plants.
Slowly weeds start creeping and spreading threatening to destroy your plants and take over your farm.
Armed with your bare hands you will have to pull out all those weeds before they get out of control.
As time progresses it will become increasingly difficult to fend off those weeds. There are upgrades and tools in the shop to help you push back.
How long will you last before the weeds take over your farm? How much money will you have by then?
Features
-
Pay attention to your plants’ condition. To get the most money for a plant you will have to harvest it just in time. Sell your plant while it’s still fresh otherwise it will begin to rot.
-
Keep a vigilant eye on the creeping weeds. Once the weeds grow out of control and start becoming thick, it will be much more difficult to get rid of them.
-
Invest your hard earned cash on Fertilizers, Herbicides, upgrades and better tools.
