At its core Elli is a puzzle game that is dressed in platforming. I very much enjoyed playing it all the way through the end which took me a little over 6.5 hours..

The puzzles in the beginning are pretty simple and there is next to no real platforming. But the further you progress into the story the more complex the puzzles get. Towards the end some puzzles span over multiple rooms which made it just the right amount of challenging for me. Yet the platforming difficulty, with a handful of exceptions, is only raised to a moderately challenging level throughout the game which I particularly liked because that way the platforming never really got into the way of solving the puzzles.

Overview

Youropa is a 3D puzzle game where you must defy the laws of gravity to reach your goal. Walking on walls, upside down, on your side, at ridiculous heights, will have your senses mixed up and confused. On a few occasions I had to stop playing the game because I felt a bit sick. The game really portrays a sense of height as you walk around on ledges and walls looking down at the scenery below.

Second Update

I’d like to keep the original review in tact so future viewers can see the full context and timeline of the events that took place. To summarize, the developer saw my review and responded with patches much faster than I would have ever expected. In the comments I called the response unprecedented, and I’ll echo that here.

When I review a game I’m never going in to that with the hope of punishing the dev or game. In my opinion, the absolute best outcome one could hope for is for them to care and respond positively to criticism which happened here.

Chetz!

Chetz is a great game that combines platform gameplay with Chess aesthetics. Don’t be fooled by the simple graphics, the game is indeed challenging and requires precision. Good exercise to train your reflexes.

Very original concept that leads to a ton of fun mix & match combos. Trying to figure out which pieces to use against which obstacles is changeling but executing those moves is harder still. Would recommend using a Xbox controller

Speebot

Speebot

A very colorful 3d platformer that tests your 3d platforming skills to its core. The game runs smoothly and controls are well done. Liked all the little details put in game like the sharks circling in the water, the flying seaguls, platforms movement trails, flying baloons and NPC animations. The game is well suited for speed runs.

As the player progresses through the levels new game mechanics are added like gliding with umbrellas, swinging and jumping using the poles. The level design provides different kind of difficulties to match the newly introduced game mechanics.

Fun simple platformer with a lot of movement options in later levels, well designed levels, and a lot of content.

Especially great for playing one or two levels during a break.

QV

QV

I just beat QV in both normal and hard mode and here’s my thoughts. QV is a really cool puzzle game with cute graphics and fun puzzle pieces. The game overall is fun, relaxing, and quite lengthy (I played through both normal and hard mode in my first playthrough). Throughout the game, you are given levels that introduce a new puzzle piece, the next level would test your understanding of the new puzzle piece, and another one that will challenge you (

! one puzzle piece I really liked were the penguins, requiring the player to be stealthy and cautious around them). Replayability in this game is good, there’s easy, normal, hard, and QV modes for each level, keeping puzzle enthusiasts entertained longer than they anticipate. Achievement hunters will like this game too.

Very cute and lots of fun!

Firstly, I want to state that I played this with a controller, and it was a lot easier than a keyboard, so keep that in mind before you buy.

I really enjoyed playing this game, and even after I finished I felt like I’d happily play it all over again.

Don’t let the cute art style fool you, this game can be quite challenging to figure out at times, particularly on the harder levels. I personally really liked that. If you like the game play and figuring out all the puzzles, I would recommend playing the levels on ALL difficulties. Many of the levels can seem quite different when you do so!
