Very frustrating, but insanely fun to play!!!
Although when closing the game, keep in mind it doesnt save progress.
Had a lot of fun playing and will definitely play it again, might even try to beat nr. on leaderboard ;)

Game is pretty fun, you can do quest to gain bonus(like the grappling hook on the tongue)/malus which in return, will affect the ending you get (6 ending, with cutscene coming up in the future) Gameplay is solid with or without the grappling hook and theres a baby mode with checkpoints for people who don’t handle rage well
Map design is really well done although simple, you have a basic design, and you have a harder path once you’ve become better at then game, that skip thing but is, well, harder.

The Wizard and The Slug
(check out the first half-hour in the video posted at the bottom of the review!)
What can I say about The Wizard and the Slug? Well… I think it’s safe to say that this is a platformer at heart. Not too difficult, but it is compelling enough to not get boring. Where this game really shines though is in its story. If you need a game that will make you laugh then I highly suggest grabbing this game.
It has that “stupid/foolish” humor that kind of reminds me of the comedy movies of the ’80s and ’90s. (like the Naked Gun franchise for example) and it works really well with the protagonist. It’s not all funny moments that have no substance though. Underneath it all, there is a solid story being told that has it’s moments that will hit you right in the feels. Making this a must-play game in my opinion. (Stories in games are a big selling point for me, and this one does it well)

At first glance, this game looks cheap due to the simple art design, but I found it be surprisingly excellent. Early on, I instantly like all the characters and had great encouragement to keep playing based on how great and legitimately funny and clever all the writing was. I can’t remember the last time I laughed so much playing a game. As it went on, though, it starts to show a more serious side. The Wizard is a very deep and interesting character with flaws and personal struggles. His quest and his relationship with some of the other characters are very well-written and compelling. By the end, you’re sucked into a suspenseful drama taking place in a world that is clearly bigger than just this story being told with well-though-out history.

Whim
Step back in time to a world where colours were few, animation was slow, and everything had a distinctly ‘blocky’ feel. Apparently disregarding most of the last 30 years of advancement and innovation, Whim is a classic ’80s platformer like grandma used to make. Just much, much bigger.
Not the Welcome I Expected
Whim has just returned to his castle home after a much-needed break. As the sole assistant to Sir Leonard Fawkes, the renowned researcher and portal expert, he has had very little time to himself for the past 8 years. Arriving into the castle bailey, Whim discovers that things are not quite as he left them. The normally bustling courtyard is eerily quiet, the air feels heavy, and strange swirling orbs are now dotted about the place. The few people that Whim can see appear to be in some kind of trance, and he can’t shake the feeling that he is in danger. He needs to find Leonard.
What’s in the Game?
-
Proper old-school 2D platforming. Walk and jump. That’s it. At the start, anyway.
-
Travel from room to room as your freely explore the vast castle, avoiding the various baddies and other hazards, as Whim tries to piece together what’s going on. And collect stuff too.
-
There’s no attack button so rein in that killer instinct. Whim’s no fighter - he’s a researcher’s assistant.
-
Beware of falling too far. It actually hurts more than some games would have you think.
-
The castle is just the beginning. Embark on an epic adventure spanning over a dozen diversely themed worlds.
-
Surprises around every corner. Well, not every corner. If they were around every corner they wouldn’t be surprises any more. But surprises around many corners. Some, at least.
-
Find Gizmos to expand your repertoire, such as the Afterburner, Neon Slacks, Pegagus Wing and Marblyzer™ [warning: use of gizmos may involve pressing other buttons].
-
Meet friendly characters who might want you to do stuff for them in exchange for goodies. Some sort of quests to do on the side. Side quests, I suppose.
-
An entire soundtrack of weird but slightly funky adaptations of classical works, such as Mozart’s Turkish March and Boccherini’s String Quintet in E Major.
-
Find all the many secrets hidden amongst the sprawling worlds. If you do, something nice might happen.
Whim’s Weird and Wonderful Worlds
Whim will visit many other worlds on his journey. Here are just the first four.
Sugar and spice and all things nice - that’s what this world is made of. Saccharine Ridge is a naturally-formed confectionery wonderland, consisting of various sweet-themed features such as mint forests, chocolate hills, candy caverns, honeycomb beehive and an enormous sponge cake, to name a few. This place gives new meaning to the land of milk and honey.
Towering some 100 metres above a wide blue ocean, these two towers house a car factory always working overtime. While one tower contains the assembly line itself, the other consists of various offices handling the running of the business. Camshaft Highrise also includes a loading dock below the building and scrapyard out the back, as well as a figure-8 test track suspended in the sky, looping around the two skyscrapers.
The gold rush never ends in this frontier; mainly because the stuff is practically everywhere. Fortune Junction is a prospector’s dream, consisting of a vast tract of desert and a mine shaft where precious metals can be literally picked up off the ground. It also contains a thriving Wild West-style town and bustling casino. It doesn’t matter if you lose – just grab another fistful of gold off the street and keep gambling!
On the perpetually darkened banks of a moonlit lake nestles a quiet village. Its quiet is not one of tranquility, however, but terror. Twilight Shore is a haunted realm filled with all manner of ghoulish creatures. A gothic cathedral, dwelling of the world’s more frightening denizens, stands ominously on a hill above the village, while in the depths of the murky lake many more horrors await.
Embers of Mirrim
This is, hands down, the most fun I’ve ever had playing a platformer. The controls are crisp, the mechanics are unique and well thought-out, it’s visually attractive, and the music is great. The single biggest complaint I have about this game is that it’s too short. I finished it in about 5 hours. I would love to have seen the kinds of puzzles they could have put in a longer game.
The difficulty curve isn’t bad. It’s hard enough to be satisfying, but doesn’t get hard so fast that it’s frustrating. There is one puzzle that uses a mechanic that isn’t used anywhere else in the game, and it can be difficult to figure out what the game wants you to do, but other than that, the mechanics have good clarity and the puzzles are fairly intuitive.

I’ve been craving a linear platformer and this really scratched the itch. While I enjoy metroidvanias, I feel like I ’ve been inundated with them of late and I wanted something a little simpler and straightforward, like the NES platformers of yesteryear.
Embers of Mirrim is a very polished puzzle platformer with heavy emphasis on platforming and navigating between sections and light emphasis on puzzle elements. The splitting mechanic adds variety, and the game continues to introduce other small elements to keep the game fresh throughout.

Life Is Not The End - Jump!
Too complex platformer to remain indifferent. Quite an interesting gameplay destruction of the platforms on which you stand, as well as difficult to control the auto-shot, or rather when you play about it do not think at all… and then you start the level from the beginning… addictive… :spel2cave:

The Perfect Shape
Highly recommend this game to those who love a good challenge!
I played for a couple of hours, It really has a lot of funny moments and very intense challenges.
Definitely not a game for the faint-hearted.
It´s nice that you don´t have to kill all enemies to complete the level.
A unique approach of the fast paced action mixed with subtle puzzles to find your own way to the end of the journey.
Can’t wait to finish it!

Call of Fries
This is a really cute game with cool music and beautiful art style. Please note that the controls are extremely difficult and frustrating. It took my way too long to complete the game and I had to step away a few times so that I not destroy something out of frustration,. I might just be a noob though lol. Other than that a really cute game as always

A very hard to play game. Control is clunky and there are times it’s so frustrating.
Although the goal is simple, but due to the uncontrollable control, the gaming experience sucks.
I hope it would be relaxing but it was the opposite.
Not nice.
