I’m part-way through, and it’s getting tougher (trying to get par on level 39). So far this game strikes a nice balance of being challenging without being too hard. The par scores make you think about how to be more efficient while making it clear that there are savings to be had. The graphics are fun while being readable so you don’t feel overwhelmed by visual noise.

I’m digging it.

Fun little, sokoban-esque puzzle game.

The level designs are actually very well made, and really bring out the interesting interactions between the different mechanics. Really makes you have to think sometimes, especially when trying to beat the “Pony moves”(Dev highscore)

Faerie Afterlight

Faerie Afterlight

Faerie Afterlight is a beautifully visualized Platformer-Metroidvania game with comforting, tuneful music and a tale, unlike any bedtime story to accompany.

The tale is about the journey of the Light Seeker, Kimo, and his fairy friend, Wispy. Tied by fate and united by the same goal, the two found each other and soon become close friends. Now, they are both on a quest to find each shattered piece of Lucentia in the lustrous land of Lumina.

Delightful ambiance and spectacular sceneries

Breathtaking view of the sceneries of the game. Your eyes are going to be pampered with color plays and a clean user interface.

Friends or foes?

Why be enemies when we can be friends and help each other? Turn your enemies into your allies and make your way through the game!

Interactive environment

A dead-end won’t pose a problem if you can move the walls and platforms. Experience Wispy’s abilities to move the environment around you as you push forward!

Explore many terrains of Lumina

There are nooks and crannies, hidden objects, secret doors, and secret passages from the high lands to the ground again; colorful adventures and shadowy forest, who knows if you will find some hidden sacred relics or meet a new friend!

Getting stronger

After defeating a boss, Kimo will gain a new ability by utilizing the dropped monster part. Eg: Spider Legs allow him to jump over vertical walls, Beetle Horn provides him the ability to dash in air and many more!

Shop

Find merchants spread all over Lumina. Buy their stuff to upgrade your stats such as health and energy.

After completing the game 100%, I’d like to give a review that will hopefully be beneficial to both the game devs and the potential buyers. First and foremost, I give the game a 6/10 and here’s why.

1. The game is lacking. While some of the later sections of some decent puzzle mechanics, most of the game doesn’t have much in the way of puzzles. The platforming has some potential, but lacks the polish to make it a notable indie game. As of now, I barely see a reason as to why it is considered action.

Toodee and Topdee

Toodee and Topdee - Steam Version - v 1.0.0.4.

The metagame is a boom of creativity and knowing on algorithmic thinking. In contrast it is an aesthetic promise above gameplay. The “cutscenes” are more the game than the player’s experience.

Is this an indie game for sure? In fact it is a game made by only two brothers from Palestine (Israel indeed, see below). Despite of this the final game was in partnership with Super Rare Games publisher (based in London) mainly for marketing. In the press kit website content we can get: “The jam version received great feedback, and so Gonen and Ori decided to make it their first commercial project”. I suspected that it was a game jam game, it has many compact features typical of a game jam game. You can search for the original Ludum Dare 41 entry - https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/toodee-and-topdee and play the pre-alpha/alpha version - http://www.gpstudios.com/games/view/toodee-and-topdee .

A wonderful puzzle platforming experience.

Toodee & Topdee was basically described to me as playing Super Mario Maker in editor mode, except editor mode is an actual character that has to deal with their own challenges.

You play as Toodee, the platforming character, and Topdee, the top-down block-pushing character, alternating between platforming and block-pushing to navigate the two to an exit portal. Each chapter comes with its own mechanics and trials to overcome, becoming steadily more difficult as the game progresses. This game has the appearance of being good for co-op, but in practice, both characters are not active at the same time, but instead must be swapped between, like in Donkey Kong Country. This suits the game better to a single player experience, though I do think there is still some fun to be had playing with a friend.

Weaving Tides

Weaving Tides

A dream comes true… which we owe to the developers of Weaving Tides!

I backed the Kickstarter, already played the prologue and the beta demo for many hours, and now its final release - and I’m delighted!

This game brings a completely new technique and approach to gameplay, that is absolutely fun, but often requires a change in thinking! Whether it’s the style of defeating enemies, solving clever puzzles or discovering secrets or the very well thought out equipment - everything is just so nicely put into the shape of textile and fabrics and the woven world!

I knew this was a creative idea when I realized how difficult it was to explain to my friends- “It’s like, you’re like a needle and thread- but the needle is a dragon and you stitch bad guys away?” LOL

Weaving Tides is a great game; Fun, creative, visually appealing. Lots of neat moments and a satisfying level of progression. Not too long if you’re looking for a compressed experience, but plenty to chew on if you’re looking for more! The biggest downfall is one of the bosses I couldn’t really figure out (snake) and the rabbit munching puzzle- not sure if I did it right but I figured something to get through it. Both those puzzles left me feeling, like… I didn’t /really/ solve them. That aside, those are small things in a whole pile of great!

A Pretty Odd Bunny

A Pretty Odd Bunny

Note: I received a free copy of this game from the developer with the intention for me to review it.

So, first things first, A Pretty Odd Bunny is hard as nails stealth platformer that despite it’s cute appearance, has some pretty violent aspects to it, making it a poor choice for a younger audience. Do not go into this expecting a kids' game, because your ass will promptly be handed to you by it’s many perils.

I really enjoyed how fresh this game felt. I’ve played a lot of platformers over the years, I would even say it’s one of my favourite genres, but a lot of them can feel very samey or average. A Pretty Odd Bunny keeps the platforming gameplay fresh by adding in some stealth elements. You cannot attack your foes, you will need to find ways to avoid or sneak past them. There are other levels that change things up additionally by chasing you with a overflow of carrots, or making you ride in a minecart.

After completing it, i can safely say it’s a extremely fun game

it’s short, simple, cute, and just fun

it’s visuals and art style combined with it’s mild gore and central theme feels very reminiscent of newgrounds platformer game

There’s not much to say besides that if you’re looking for a simple but addicting fun game or want something cute or want bunnies(although one that eats pigs) then i’d highly recommend it especially for it’s price.
