Snaliens

Snaliens

snaliens is a sokoban/snake/circuits hybrid with no timer and unlimited undo, just the way I like it, and yet another game that’s as cute as it is hard (very), so family-friendly in the sense that you’ll need all the family to crack the levels, but don’t think kids would get very far on their own.

Pretty good puzzle game of the sokoban type. It explores a variety of solid mechanics over about a hundred unique levels. Nice difficulty curve. It never gets crazy hard, but some levels can offer compelling challenges

Taiji

Taiji

Taiji is an adventure puzzle-solving game set in a mysterious world full of puzzles. Unlike many adventure games, the puzzles in Taiji all use a consistent interface: a grid of tiles which can be toggled on or off.

Although this might seem simple, the consistency of the interface frees the player from guesswork or pixel hunting that happens in many adventure games. It is always clear what the player must interact with in order to solve the puzzle, but it is never entirely clear what they must do. There are many different areas in the game, each with their own visual and mechanical themes. As you explore this dense world, it is important to think hard and to pay close attention, as vital clues are sometimes hidden in plain sight.

Chaos Brigade

Chaos Brigade

Very good game, very fresh, playable and challenging.

I really like the personality that the different characters have been assigned.

It feels like playing a different game every time you select a different soldier. the music is catchy and the sprites very colorful and recognizable. The action pace gets very interesting the more and more you are honing your aiming skills to avoid damaging the ship.

Overall it is a 8/10 for me, with the ability to crouch it would be even 9/10, however the directional aim function will take care of the “below the belt” crawling critters.

Treasure Adventure Game

It’s a good game, though i missed #12 treasure map and the 2nd hat, which is pretty annoying.

My favorite part is the story about mushrooms. That’s literally mind-blowing.

PIXEL IS THE SMALLEST PARTICLE IN THE UNIVERSE

Sooooo close to being one of the great “puzzle adventure platformers” like La Mulana and Cave Story. There are many easy sequence breaks, combine that with a single auto-save file and you can screw yourself out of 100% completion easily. A flawed gem and very enjoyable with a detailed and living world.

I got this game to play with my 3 year old daughter and its been a prefect little game for us to enjoy together. She calls it the octopus game and i have videos of her just screaming with joy when the octopus pops on the screen, its so darn cute. She even helps me spot the collectibles to grab while where playing. The game itself is really short but its really enjoyable and still somewhat fun to go back and play over again like I’ve done many times. There is 2 other mini games included like the floor is lava which is a fun bonus to play. Overall, for a free game its a great one to try out.

Real player with 20.8 hrs in game

What a amazing game! So far its just one level, with some unique and fun game modes, like the floor is lava. The controls are easy to start playing, and hide more complex mechanics that you start to use when trying the time challenge, like speeding up in the air depending on how fast you are rotating. The achievements in this were a blast to hunt down! the first / only level has 31 collectables to find, along with a couple (i think 7) random side task achievements. Close to everything in this game can be interacted with, your either destroying something, or using a item you picked up to destroy something. Id highly recommend this to anyone, Its free and freaking fun! I just wish they had more levels, id be willing to pay for this!

Great controls, excellent variety, interesting levels, what’s not to love? This game is very difficult though - play on assist mode unless you are very well versed in difficult platformers such as IWBTG fangames. Controls are simple, but very precise. Each level feels different from each other and brings something new to the game, which is something I wish were more common in games in general.

Edit As of the last update, the game has been reworked to remove the difficulty spikes without needing to have an “assist” mode. It is now an A+ speedrunning experience. If you enjoy speedrunning platformers, GET THIS GAME NOW!

DO NOT BE FOOLED BY GENERIC APPEARANCES. Behind this generic facade of “looks like every other platformer” and the mediocre presentation lies one of the purest distillations of 2D reflex-based platforming. Silky smooth controls, impeccable level design, unique level elements, heart-pounding music and a fully fledged level and game builder round out the highlights of this love letter to action platform games!

Enemy placement and level flow are extremely well implemented; so whether you’re rushing for a time attack or carefully trying to collect all the gems without dying, each stage is a palimpsest of overlapping multi-function design with plenty of room to pick your own strategies.
