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.

Flewfie’s Adventure
You play as a Cat in a UFO! AND you get to dress it up in super adorable costumes! What more can you possibly want?
Playing this game has been a sincere pleasure!
About the game:
Flewfie’s Adventure is an uber cute action-adventure game with 3 difficulties (Easy, Normal, and Hard) where you fly through 5 really creative Worlds blasting monsters with the main goal of stopping the evil cat Uzzu who stole a prototype UFO from Scientist Snail and is unleashing chaos throughout the cosmos. Each World features 5 levels with different environments and new monsters and their own mini-bosses AND also 3-4 Big Boss levels. In each Level there are 5 coins to collect and a hidden puzzle room to save a Bundrop. ‘100%‘ing’ a level (getting all coins and saving the Bundrop) will unlock a chest in the World Map containing a new costume piece for Flewfie or a new skin for your UFO which can increase Attack Power or Defense. There are also side quests you can complete which reward you with even more skins!

Flewfie’s Adventure is an enjoyable and charming game. It is very clear that a lot of attention was paid to the visual aesthetic of the game. There are a vast variety of enemies populating the different worlds, all with adorable and unique designs. The worlds themselves have levels that visually vary from level to level so nothing gets stale. As for game-play this is definitely on the casual side for the genre. I died once or twice towards the end on normal mode. While there was a jump in difficulty by worlds 4 and 5, there was always an abundance of health that ensured I wouldn’t die as long as I retreated from the rougher encounters. And honestly that’s fine, it just might be worth starting off on hard mode. With that being said, the shooty-shooty stuff was still fun and reactive. Something I didn’t expect was how many boss fights there were, with about three or four per world, and a lot of them had cool designs and attack patterns.

Buggy online co-op

Voice acting is weak
-Cutscenes are lackluster - The characters lips do not move; the camera angles “cleverly” change to make that unnoticeable.

THE GOOD-
Gremlins taught you to fear midnight, Minecraft gave you panic attacks at sunset, now you must fear the dawn. Soon no point of the day will be safe! It’s time to pack a rifle longer that your leg, a naval carrier’s worth of ammunition, and shower every ancient temple in sight with sparks and metal casings!
The animations, sounds and effects of the game are top notch (for 2010) and more than passable, even by today’s standards. Once again, the PC version shines worlds above that for any other platform. There really is nothing more satisfying that maxing the settings and getting a solid 60 fps, even on aging hardware.

Fun and cute coop game with a friendly mood and great art!
The game world is made up of different zones, and each zone has a number of levels. Each level of the game has 3 objetives/stars, only one of them being mandatory. The main mechanic is simple and easy to learn: one button casts one color magic spell, which you will use to defeat the different enemies of that color. The mechanic is well explored throughout the game, especially with the optional stars. These optional starts complement really well to the mandatory ones, since depending of how many stars you wanna get on a level your strategy will change a lot, thus making a simple mechanic quite challenging. Sometimes too challenging, as there are 2 or 3 difficulty walls that stop a bit the flow of the game, especially in the final boss. But besides that the game feels well balanced, it has a good difficulty curve.

Park The Car
Let’s start with the description: “Park the car is a racing game where you need to park your cars in a safe location!” This is not true. It is not a racing game; it is a puzzle game. You draw the path the car will take to the parking spot with your mouse. If that sounds like a mobile port, well, it probably is.
Graphics: The graphics are functional and coherent.
Sound: The music is repetitive, peppy muzak that you would expect on a cheap mobile game. I turned it off, but then I do that with almost every game.
