STEER CLEAR!

Update: The game is idle. Idle money making is bugged and has been for more than two years. It doesn’t seem like the devs are even trying to fix it.

There are so many issues with this game.

  • All train cars come from the gum ball machine, and you may need one that’s quite rare

  • You need said car because: The more passenger slots you have, the more you need to please them

  • If you find a cart that gives the stats you need, it will also have space for passengers, increasing the amount you need to please them

This game doesn’t have many reviews so I felt the need to write one out.

Graphics

Good lord the graphics are impressive! And as a fellow artist I heavily appreciate the “proper” use of pixel art. I noticed some games that use pixel art don’t use it the way it was supposed to be done and took me right out of the game. So this is a big bonus for me. The trains are all gorgeously done and many of the cars are really unique, or even easter eggs. I really appreciate we have the option to stick to more “realistic” cars and don’t have to use the ones that purposely look silly. All of the background assets are a joy to look at and I can’t imagine how much time was spent working on everything individually and also have it all fit together so well in a scene. Honestly if you’re a pixelart buff I’d just recommend the game to gawk at the graphics!

4 Months of You

4 Months of You

4 Months of You is an fun and interesting puzzle game with a horror feel to it. I’ve been playing this game for several hours, and I’m still not finished. But I’m enjoying every minute of it! If you’re into puzzle games and have a lot of patience and desire to explore every corner of the game’s environment (like I do), then this game is for you.

Essentially, this game requires you to solve puzzles one-by-one in order to progress further. You start inside your apartment, and as you progress further, things start to get scarier. You also start to uncover vague details about the main character’s background/story, but with still many details left vague (it leaves much for you to ‘fill in the gaps’).

Beyond a Total Loss

Beyond a Total Loss

Just finished the the game and really enjoyed it, there are many details and a lot of effort was put into it. It was a great old school adventure with some interesting twists and funny dialogues. If you are not sure, there is a demo.

Beyond a Total Loss is good.

It’s about what you’d expect it to be based on the visuals, and is more or less what I love about indie games.

A quirky story about a man who ends up going through a series of unfortunate events.

Summoner’s Mess

Summoner’s Mess

Worth every cent (and much more) of its price, it’s very entertaining to discover the map and each unsuccessful run makes you go for another one to see how far can you go this time.

It has a really nice art direction, and the sound ambiance goes perfectly with the game. Just buy it, with that price it’s like a gift.

Real player with 3.8 hrs in game

This is a very nice and interesting game, the graphics, the music, the mood… everything fits perfectly.

I really enjoyed playing it and doing all the possible endings. It is cool to be able to easily remember the rooms and little by little knowing all the place like it was my own house.

If you enjoy games where the progression is based on your own knowledge instead of unlockable skills, then give it a try!

The game gives you a proper amount of hours of game time given the fact that is super cheap!

Ironseed 25th Anniversary Edition

Ironseed 25th Anniversary Edition

Ah Ironseed. A hidden gem of the 90’s. I played this one 25 years ago. A 1MB file hidden among 600 others on a CD. This remake is quite faithful the the original, though the difficulty has now been notably reduced. I haven’t played enough to know if all of the old systems are here, but what I see so far has been quite impressive.

If you are tired of all the “newer” games that put graphics over gameplay, give this one a go.

Pocket Penguin ( ポケットペンギン): A Game Boy Style Adventure

Pocket Penguin ( ポケットペンギン): A Game Boy Style Adventure

I’ve been playing this game… AND I FELL IN LOVE WITH IT!!!

This game really capture the feeling and the aesthetic of the Game Boy games.. so If you are a retro enthusiast… You’ll love it.

This is a cool, adorable, charming platformer that becomes quite challenging in the last level. It controls well, the music is awesome, and it emulates the game boy feel perfectly.

The main mechanic is your bombs are used as makeshift platforms, and as your weapon. You have to manage them well, especially on bosses - because getting stuck in an area when your bombs are on cooldown is almost a sure death sentence. It’s very engaging and I loved it.

This is an easy recommendation for anyone, and especially if you like platformers.

Simon the Sorcerer 3D

Simon the Sorcerer 3D

This extremly well made game, with good graphic, good music, good contros, good puzzle, and its just amazing game you need to play!

Early impressions. I’m only a short ways in, but I really enjoyed Simon 1 & 2 (I actually made maps to get through Part 1), and never even knew Part 3 existed until today. Which is really cool, given the cliff-hanger at the end of Part 2. I do wish the navigation was mouse-driven, but I’m getting used to the controls, and (once again) am enjoying my experience. The graphics make me think of the Nintendo 64 and Everquest 1. No issue for me there – I don’t play point-and-click adventures for the graphics. I get absorbed in the mental aspect of these games, and don’t even think about them. But seeing a Simon title in 3D is definitely a trip. And the voice acting really seems to be top-notch. So it’s a thumbs up from this rabid point-and-click fan so far. I’ll post a follow-up down the road, if I can remember.

Cavesweeper

Cavesweeper

Been a fan of BankBank’s work from way back, some of the wildest games Ive ever played have pored out of this bountiful creative mind. Sally forth me if you wrong, but the Indie scene as we know it would basically not exist if not for BankBank…

As for the game itself, I find it to be a maddeningly enticing combination of the Minesweeper template with some of the greatest storytelling endeavors of the early computer RPG scene… Wizardry 4, Ultima 4, Ultima 7 and Wizardry 6, 7 and 8 have all left their indelible marks upon this curious little sojourn. Quests Galore in this game, a day without Cavesweeper is like a year without rain.

Cavesweeper is a weird combination logic puzzle / RPG battle game that hits this weird sweet spot in my brain. The logic puzzle is exactly the sort of Minesweeper-like constraint-solving mechanic that I can just sit and play with endlessly. But as the game progresses, the puzzle’s difficulty is ratcheted up such that it can’t be completely solved by logic alone, and you have to make tactical decisions about what risks you’re willing to take to gain information. I don’t get sucked into a lot of games, but once I start a Cavesweeper run I gotta see it through. I was pretty sad when Apple broke the iPhone version after an upgrade, so I was super excited to learn it had made its way to the PC.
