Skip Lake

Skip Lake

Short, not too difficult reflection game. Usually these mechanics are used with light rays that have to end up in a certain location; in this case it’s a stone that magically keeps bouncing over water. Difficulty is not very consistent, some puzzles will take some pondering and tweaking and retrying, others will be clear at the first glance.

I very much liked the visuals and the sound effects, and found myself looking for longer routes to listen to the new ‘melodies’. The soundtrack was definitely not for me, and I had to turn it off every single time I started the game. It also did not remember my preference to play windowed and bounced back to full screen every restart. My last little peeve was that you can’t return to the menu or home screen between levels - you have to start or redo a level to get back the menu.

Casual puzzles with a peaceful ambience. Most solutions amount to lining up the most intuitive positions, with a few requiring some more tries. While quite easy, it is fun and rewarding. There are also hidden objects to find which give a bit of story. My only issues: no touchscreen support, so it’s a lot of touchpad/mouse clicking. Also the backgrounds move when you move your cursor,even when you are just moving from the reflectors to the start button on every level, which I found a little annoying. It would be nice to be able to turn this off and have the screen only move when you actually move the cursor to an edge.

A great game, I would say it is definitely not for everyone, but super fun arcade style game. A lot of replayability making it worth the cost in my opinion.

This game has potential if it was developed upon, Took me a total of 1 hr and 16 mins to complete. Not bad.

I would recommend the game if you have a spare hour and honestly just looking for something to pass the time.

Some things i would add/change if i was the developer;

  • Pause screen (Instead of hitting ESC to pause instead closes the game)

  • Mute music only button, I think the sounds are good except the music. Found that annoying.

  • Make the “Level Complete” stand out more.

  • Allow level replayability.

Hexagon World

Hexagon World

No. Just no. Do NOT pull the trigger on Hexagon World.

It’s pretty feature-free. The only controls are to 1) add land; 2) add water; 3) make a set of hexes desert; 4) make a set of hexes snow. That’s it. Nothing else. If you play this for 5 minutes, you’ve done everything you’re ever going to do with it.

Two menus (house and bomb) aren’t even implemented. No way to change the speed. No way to change the sound volume. No way to scroll the map – you can only zoom in and out on the center point. The cool airplanes? Just dots on the screen; you can’t even see what they’re doing unless it’s happening near the screen center. Switching from flat earth to globe view often results in just a black screen.

I bought the game with $1.50 and that was a mistake.

I take purchasing this game as a life lesson to not impulse buy stupid games.

The only reason I would recommend purchasing this would be if you want to annoy your neighbours by putting this sound track on full and leaving the house

Mouser Hunter is a masterpiece of video game narrative. Nothing else even comes close nowadays. The story is bold, and almost always “fun”. It is harrowing, forcing the player to confront feet in a way most video games have never done.

In a medium where everything is John Wick, Mouser Hunter is Schindler’s List. And just like that film, there were times when I wasn’t sure I could keep going. It is a relentless emotional assault that I suspect will force even the most vanilla gamer to feel emotion.
