A Fold Apart

A Fold Apart

Interesting puzzle concept. I got stuck in a few but never enough to look up a solution. Some puzzles (especially early ones, but also some later ones) are very easy. Feels like the game is trying to make you feel frustration and release in sympathy with the characters instead of ramping up difficulty just because it’s a game.

Presentation is impressive. Transitions, multi-view shots, and walking over folds are done seamlessly.

Dialogue (text messages) between the characters is generally pretty good. Some a bit too cheesy/sappy but some felt genuine. The puzzle thought text is usually too melodramatic.

VEREDICT: 8/10.

A Fold Apart is a sweet puzzle game with its mechanics and visuals well tied to its themes. The game could use some quality of life improvements and a smoother learning curve, but it’s worth it.

MECHANICS: Positive. The folding paper puzzles manage to match the allegorical emotional landscapes of a long-distance relationship cleverly. Some of the mechanics didn’t click for me and I think it could use a few extra steps to ease you into new stage gimmicks. At least the game has a solid hint system.

Frincess&Cnight

A charming little game, it’s obvious that a lot of care has been put into it!

Interesting and fun mechanics, but don’t be fooled by its charming exterior: it does not mess around in the later levels, and requires a considerable degree of mechanical and puzzling skill.

Overall, I enjoyed it, and am glad I completed it.

Expect a few hours of playtime, a lot of fun, and many, many deaths.

As I’m writing this review, I have completed this game.

In one word: wonderful. I loved this game from start to finish. The controls are very basic but don’t get me wrong! with such simple controls, you can do so much and the game is extremely complex despite being so simple… the puzzles are a huge brain teaser and I love the increasing of difficulty as you go on.

Maybe a lot won’t realize but the first few levels will teach you how to achieve certain areas and little tricks (not mentioned in the tutorials) that you can use. and again, you can do so much with so very little controls!

I saw the name of the game and its summary and I just had to see the mystery for myself! The design is nice and the music reminds me of a Russian ballad/dance. I like the pretty graphics and the search option and well pretty much I like everything. I wont spoil much of anything, because it will be mean… however, that was SO WONDERFUL! Thank you! I will definitely send this game to a person who is in need of such a game. :D

Of course I saw the news about upcoming DLCs and got excited! I look forward to them. Now off to recommend/send people the game. Thank you kindly so much for it!!! :D : ^-^

YUNA: Sugar hearts and Love

Well, this game is not good enough. Maybe I think you should set this game as an early access game because it is semi finished game.

First, the game need a tutorial for new players. I was surprised that when i click on some black hearts my points decreased even sometimes under zero in one type. Also, the story mode is almost empty with only few confusing text. Besides, the game has no objects or failure conditions.

And one more thing, there is no attracting element on the girl’s body for players. And we need cards too!

A Day

A Day

The first 1-2 hours I thought the game was absolutely brilliant. Not paying attention to the description of the game on the store page that mentioned you’re going for a high score, I kept thinking I was unravelling a puzzle that had a bunch of pieces that needed to be put together to have a grand finale of a story. There is an absolute gem of an idea for a game here but I think having simply made it high score driven instead of more narrative focused is a huge missed opportunity. I loved and hated this one. Loved the concept, hated the fact that after 3 hours I felt empty knowing that I was just going for points instead of something bigger.

‘‘Sonder: the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own’’.

That’s how A Day makes me feel.

The game is short and beautifully crafted, you play a different cast of characters each with their abilities, goals, and needs, over the course of a day

the Goal of the game is slowly stitching the fate of every character in a way that in the end, they can help each other.

It was a good first P.C. game for a mobile game company, however there were a few things that were a bit frustrating to me:

- No ability to bind controls

- There weren't a lot of Waypoints

- Way too many achievements in the main story line. It felt like everything I did I got an achievement for.

- Achievements were bugged as well, making it difficult for some people to achieve them

- The orb had some hitbox problems for me, where I had to be in the exact right spot to get it, although my friends never had this issue.
