Very pleasant game. I love simple principles but that can get you scratching your head for minutes. The VHS type art style and oniric music really got me out of my mind for a moment. Good job!

CheeseCube

CheeseCube

Cheese Cube besides it’s looks is actually pretty fun (and challenging) and offers some fun gameplay, with a decent selection of levels, skins, and obstacles, it’s still in early versions so I expect more to come, besides that, it’s a fun little game that reminds me of the old flash games, and, well, it’s CHEESE, who doesn’t like cheese?

Obversion

Obversion

The game’s difficulty ramps up as you progress through the 28 levels, each of which poses unique challenges. It’s not hard to work through them, though: with mechanics that are easy to pick up on without explanation (except for controls, shown when starting the game), plenty of accessibility features (those being autojump, automove, and the undo/redo buttons) that can make it easy to traverse over obstacles, and a free hint that can be picked up at the start of every level, plenty of help is given for players to work through the rather complex nature of 3D first-person puzzlers. Observation, planning, and cleverness are key in order to reach the end of all of the puzzles made, even more so with the bonus yin-yang collectibles.

Obversion is a complex yet elegant platform puzzler. You can work your way through it without significant struggle or you can take time to ruminate on the puzzles. The difficulty does ramp up through the worlds and you may find yourself with a puzzle that requires more thought than blindly barreling forward.

The music is a special gem. I wouldn’t want to spoil it for prospective players, but what I can say is that it compliments the levels and builds on itself as you progress.

The dev put a lot of thought into movement mechanics and it seems that the puzzles have been mapped out and thoroughly thought through. I found myself stumped in one place or another until I noticed a pattern or subtle hint.

SwordBounce

SwordBounce

Fantastic game with an original concept, a great level design, and lot of challengues. It is a 2D platform game in which you use your sword to bounce over all kind of hazards. This may sound simple, but first of all, its really original ( i only saw this kind of gameplay on Hollow Knight, and it wasn’t the main concept ), and second, is way more complex than might you think initially.

The levels are very challenging and the sword-bounce is used in many different ways. You unlock some powerups that makes this gameplay even more complex, and also there are secret levels, whose level design is unique and very different form the main game.

Holy crap this game was amazing. This needs to be a staple in the challenging-platformer community. The level design is so good. Sometimes I have to question what makes some platformers good and others not, but this is like the purest essence of whatever that good stuff is. The controls never feel deceptive and I never felt like a death wasn’t my fault. Even if I did, the levels are the perfect length. I was skeptical of one-screen levels at first, but they actual vary greatly in size. No screen is ever arbitrarily sized either. The developer knows exactly what he’s doing and how much space to give the player.

Mimicry

Mimicry

Mimicry is a great game. Despite only being four hours long, there are some really great puzzles throughout the game’s 100 levels. The music is mellow and isn’t distracting, and the new ideas introduced throughout the game make the experience feel fresh. The final boss is a true test of everything throughout the game. I am friends with the developer of this game as well, and I’m happy for his newfound success at the launch of Mimicry. I can’t wait to see what else Anxiety Monster has in store, godspeed!

Im usually not one for puzzle games but I could not put this one down. Very addictive and fun puzzle game, has that big “just one more level” factor to it. It’s also very relaxing game to just put on and chill to.

Rorschach is not a long game, it had been on my wishlist for a bit because I liked the concept and retro style. I saw it was on sale for like 50 cents so I picked it up. id recommend it to anyone looking for a simple, cheap platformer that is still enjoyable.

Themes of Dark and Light

Nice idea and good game. Keeps you coming back to see if you can finally get past that level. Masses of levels still to play and there are more that you can download. There’s also a designer so you can make your own levels. The challenges are quite tricky even for the experienced platformer.

In Shape 2

In Shape 2

In this minimalistic arcade game, you have to move and reshape your figure to match the passing figures. Triangle, square and circle. And also occupy the desired lane by jumping left and right. For each piece you pass, you get points, and the movement gradually accelerates, and the game becomes more difficult. Good luck.
