Alekon

Alekon

This is a very simple game idea. You take photos of mostly happy, colorful creatures, solve some simple puzzles, play minigames. What makes Alekon very interesting is the memorable creature design, but it’s worth mentioning that, as you go further, it’s getting harder to memorise all of them.

It’s fairly easy to move forward in the game, you are not forced to finish everything (but some skills make your life easier, specially if you try to make every photo 10/10) I would say childfriendly, if we don’t count some of the minigames are kinda hard (But as far as I see, the devs are taking feedback and fixing those, so you can partly ignore this comment) and the situation with the Shrooma minigame, that felt a bit odd.

Penko Park

Penko Park

Want to go on a weird safari? well then heres a game for you!

Penko park is an exploration game in the vein of Pokemon snap, you sit in a cart and are driven on a tour of the abandoned Penko wildlife park, as you travel through the park you take snapshots of the various animals that inhabit the place, in many ways its like a rail shooter.

Of course theres more to it that simply riding passively through the park, there are numerous collectables to find and alternate paths to open up. And simply finding the various animals isn’t all there is either most will have multiple poses to collect so you have to figure out how to get them in addition to just finding the animal, for the most part this is fairly easy as the interactions involve only the target animal itself, but there are a few situations where things get complex (like using one creature to scare another) its just a shame that there aren’t more of these in the game (like scaring away a predator causing a new creature to come out or something) but I can see how that would be alot more work for such a small team.

It’s Pokemon Snap on Steam.

So, I really liked Pokemon Snap on N64. I know, I know, it’s a game for five-year-olds, but it was so much fun - travel around different locations, keep your eyes peeled, take some good pictures. Well, that’s what this game is… just with the random monsters of a different imagination. It’s kinda weird - this game is quite a bit simpler than Snap, and yet… I think I liked this one more. Heck, the graphics aren’t even up to the Snap level (Snap was 3D, super animated, blah blah blah… This one is hand-drawn-y, simple animations, etc) - and I still think I like this one better. My ONLY disappointment was how quickly I “beat” the game - I’m showing 4.2 hours logged as of writing this, and that was with trying to take my time to enjoy (rather than trying to “steamroll” the game).

Umurangi Generation

Umurangi Generation

Either a fresh, laidback, visual experience or an engaging, arcadey, bumpin game; Umurangi Generation is one of those games where the pleasure is found with your view on gaming in general.

To a common player, it may just look like a straightforward “Find objective, complete objective” game. Of which, let’s not lie to ourselves, it is and that can be pretty dull for some people. But, I found myself playing each level twice: Once to intake my surroundings, keeping mental notes, understanding the worldbuilding and crackin' lil gags with the NPCs around the stage because I enjoyed putting myself in the character’s (invisible) shoes. The second time, with the information I had gathered, to go with a more arcade “speed clear” approach since trying to map out an effective path to knock out every objective in under 10 minutes was a fun little challenge. Now, I didn’t go HAM on it to try and get the best darn time there is but more like a little trial of “Okay let’s see what I can do…”

Umurangi Generation is pretty much the ultimate “lo-fi beats to relax/study to” game. There’s not really a whole lot to playing it. You just walk around taking pictures of things in environments that are totally static except for characters going through animation cycles. And yet its culmination of lo-fi graphics and music is still absorbing enough that I played through each level multiple times and got 100 percent completion.

It’s one of those games with low-poly, low-resolution graphics designed to look like it was made in the late 90’s (other examples like Paratopic or Sagebrush deliberately evoke the original PlayStation but Umurangi is more like the Dreamcast). But instead of being a horror game its vibe is somewhere between Jet Set Radio and Neon Genesis Evangelion – colorful urban landscapes, anime-inspired characters, rap music, impending kaiju doom. It works so well that during my first run I kept playing just to see where each new level would take me. These levels aren’t just attractive in a sort of retro, cozy way, they’re also packed with small details, just begging you to photograph every inch of them. The chillhop music fits all this perfectly. I bought the soundtrack and still listen to it.

Floating Girl

Floating Girl

Easy Little Shmup

First off, this game IS safe for work…depending on who your boss is. The unlockable artwork contains no naughty bits or suggestive themes, so…those game tags were big fat lies.

In fact, given how simple this shoot ‘em up is, Floating Girl is practically safe for children. In other words, it will NOT tax your gamer skillz, but should be just about right for a 5-year-old. I kinda hoped the difficulty would increase with each level, but it did not.

Real player with 1.7 hrs in game

Extremely slow “bullet hell” arcade game. As you destroy the little spaceships an ecchi image of a girl slowly lowers.

-There is no sexual-content/nudity

-There is no patch I could find to fix that

-The does not offer anything that another game does better already

It’s so barren that there isn’t even much to write about it. Very simplistic.
