Cats in Time
Playing Cats in Time was for me an absolute joy. I did love Manic Hyena ’s Hidden Paws games, and in all honesty I am a big fan of 3D diorama games, so I expected to be quite fond of Pine Studio ’s Cats in Time too, but the game simply exceeded my expectations not only because it takes the best from both worlds, but also adds a lot of entertaining puzzling to the obvious exploration aspect.

This review in mind is about 5 hours gameplay time to 100% Achievements earned via the original puzzle mode as intended, Highly Recommended for those who love Hidden Object games, I am a fan of Hidden Object games, compared to this game, it’s similar but to it’s own unique way of Manic Hyena’s Hidden Paws games which have you finding cats and hidden items such as yarn balls
Controller Support: Yes :3
In this game, you find cats, they are so cute & do puzzles in a total of 28+1 secret level if you can figure it out, I’d say the puzzles range from around age 8+ in terms of logic and figuring things out, although it can be fun for parents also to play with their kids as well, who doesn’t want to find some cute cats, with some memory involved, secondarily, in every level there are 3 postcard pieces you can find

11/10 Ruined kid’s birthday party WITH FIRE, marched zombies across a city, and pet a dog
If that’s not enough to make you buy it, then FINE, let me give “rEaL” reasons.
This is a really unique and cute game unlike any other that I’ve really played. Each level, you play as a cloud with a variety of cloud powers to solve puzzles, do weird tasks, or cause mayhem. Some levels are super intricate, following a “story” (Like the definitely “not” Legend of Zelda level), and can take quite a bit. Others are much quicker, or just for fun, like painting or raining down hands to pet a dog. (No seriously, there is a point where you rain hands to pet a dog. It’s amazing.)

Glass Masquerade
Glass Masquerade is not about action, adventure, or strategy. It is strictly about solving jigsaw puzzles. It reminds of the days when I had to physically fit jigsaw pieces into the right places in the puzzle before the digital age. It is a casual game with relaxing music that puzzle enthusiasts would love to play.
This indie game features 25 jigsaw puzzles, each representing a country. They are countries across different continents of the world. When you choose a country, you are presented with a clock in which you pick up stained-glass shards on the sides. The game gives you a head start by providing you with highlighted glass shards that you pick up and place on the sides. Then you need to use your spatial abilities to determine which shards go where. Clocks are of various shapes and sizes. They are not complicated for the most part, as some countries are more challenging than others. You can scroll with your mouse wheel to find as many shards as possible to fit them in the correct places.

Basic Information
Title: Glass Masquerade
Status: Released
Developer: Onyx Lute
Publisher: Onyx Lute
Genre: Puzzle
Release Date: 18th of November, 2016
Type: Singleplayer
General Impression
Glass Masquerade should be regarded as a relaxing distraction from all the digital killing encouraged and required by the vast majority of video games nowadays. And even though Steam’s flooded with indie puzzles, Onyx Lute managed to create an artistically unique game which so far has no direct rival for its genre. Bear in mind that this is the dev team’s first released project and you will understand just how promising are both Glass Masquerade and any future titles or direct sequels. Many more countries to visit and visually represent, Onyx.

klocki
Just. Add. Water.
Klocki is without a shadow of a doubt one of the biggest bargains on Steam right now. It also happens to be one of the most intuitive, well designed and almost flawless puzzle games on Steam. The sheer brilliance of the game cannot be underestimated. It may appear simple and that’s because it is but it will have you engrossed from beginning to end.
Highlights
The highlights of the game are its intuitiveness, accessibility, the design of the puzzles and the color palette.

klocki, On MetaCritic, it shows it was developed by Megabyte Bomb. Released on the PC platform on Jul 13, 2016 and is also available on Iphone,Ipad. There are no user reviews yet as of this writing. (http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/klocki) .
On steam page, it shows klocki was developed by Maciej Targoni and Wojciech Wasiak. The same people who brought us Hook. klocki is also available on Linux.
To say klocki is just “a puzzle game” - it is a unjust description on this product.
For me, I would describe klocki as creative, innotive puzzle game. Because it introduces mechanics/multiple combination of methods to solve a puzzle. This is what makes klocki interesting & fresh. It stand’s out from the rest of the other puzzle genre games.

Active Neurons 2
So you survived your first foray into space cube puzzles, but you want to go even farther? Grab your flash of space milk and fire up those brian cells, because this time, we’re searching far and wide for our remaining neurons. Search Windmills, cannons, choo-choos, speakboxes, and adult candies while going up against new challenges. Spoiler alert:
! The final boss is the world wide web.
The Good:
- Just like the first game, it actually offers a decent amount of challenge.
– Real player with 6.4 hrs in game
I love sliding games and active neurons is among my favorites with its excellent presentation, cool mechanics and relaxing gameplay, even if it’s on the short and easy side and has some timing elements. the sequel looked similar enough and I was really looking forward to it, didn’t even consider the possibility of it ending up as a disappointment, but sadly that’s what happened.

ASMR Journey - Animated Jigsaw Puzzle
I don’t usually write reviews for games, but there’s so little written about this one that I feel it’s my duty.
TL;DR: The game has issues, but it’s totally worth the very small price.
Let’s start with the good:
I’ve played loads of puzzle games, and this one is particularly beautiful.
Parts of the pictures move, even when the puzzles are in pieces. It really adds something to a jigsaw puzzle game that takes it up a notch. For example, on the train puzzle, there is a foggy window where you can see the blurry landscape pass by.
– Real player with 6.1 hrs in game
ASMR Journey is a very well-crafted and inspiring puzzle game, it is calm, immersive, has a good soundtrack and the graphics have a unique and discrepant trace of everything I have seen, it is calm in the exact and interesting point with the hostory that holds you as you play, I found it completely relaxing and well-crafted.
The only negative point found was the lack of more puzzles to complete, as I would like to play more and more, but in any case it already yields a calm and comforting experience.

Aurora Hex - Pattern Puzzles
aurora hex is similar to the developer’s previous game, aurorabound deluxe . you’re trying to recreate colorful patterns in both, but in this game you’re bothering hexagons instead of squares. it is also somewhat similar to loop .

Visually pleasing minimalist puzzler.
Almost same genre as jigsaw puzzles, but feels different.
UI & Visuals seem a bit more refined than the first title, while retaining a similar feel to play. :)
(Currently up to late World 1, out of 20 worlds, at time of review.
Also has Daily puzzles to unlock & Infinity mode to unlock)

Cat Slide Tiles
simple game based on sliding square tiles around a board until you complete a picture, which in this case allows a kitten to race home collecting 3 keys as it goes. It has a cute 3D kitty that meows, several levels with different surroundings, and while some puzzles are very obvious, some are horrible! You cannot progress until you solve the puzzle, and when you do, you will probably kick yourself. Its a great contrast to the more frenetic and active games on here and gives a chance to relax and chill out. Highly recommend for the small amount this game costs, and its something you can pick up and play, then put down again, until the next time you want to relax. Kids will probably be better than adults at this game.

Really enjoyable family-friendly puzzle game with nice graphics, controls, and a nice soundtrack. This game reminds me of the small plastic sliding-number puzzles I had as a kid where you had to slide them around and get them into numerical sequence. The game is relaxing and is the kind where you can play while you have some time to kill and then be able to walk away and pick up where you left off late. Hope to see more scenarios in the future with maybe some larger puzzles. Thanks for developing this to you and your team…I would recommend this game!

Hexagourds
Hexagourds is a casual, relaxing builder and puzzle game where you place tiles on a grid to make your own pumpkin patch! Grow pumpkins, feed animals, and pick apples as you gain points for rotating, placing and connecting different tiles.
A personal message from the dev
If you’re in love with the fall season or are in need of a relaxing game to distract you from the stressful day-to-day activities of life, then Hexagourds is definitely for you. This game has no winning or losing. You play at your own pace, gaining points for placing tiles wherever you want. You place some pumpkins here, some goats there, and haybales everywhere. This game was meant to be played on a chill, autumn Sunday morning with a coffee next to you. I hope you try it out and enjoy the game.
For those more strategically inclined, there is definitely some strategy involved with maximizing points. I’ve added dailies and a mutliplayer scoreboard if you want to show the rest of the community your sweet score in Hexagourds. But that’s all up to you.
This game offers you:
-
Chill and relaxing gameplay
-
Fun mix of a tile-matching, puzzle, and builder game
-
Lovely fall/autumn vibes!
-
Many different tiles to play and unlock (each tile can have a combination of unique fall-themed items)
-
Simple, elegant low poly art style with relaxing music
-
A beautiful pumpkin patch that you create
-
Daily puzzles and online scoreboards
This game doesn’t have:

-

Just me, David Dalisay, the solo game developer on Hexagourds. I don’t mind being solo! But I love to collaborate with other devs and other gamers.
Happy Fall-idays!
Hidden Shapes Animals - Jigsaw Puzzle Game
Really enjoyed the chill vibe (my wife was listening to me play, and the music was soothing her to sleep, lol), and the puzzles were progressively challenging, but not frustratingly so - at least I didn’t find them that way. I also appreciated that the hint system (which I needed a few times to ferret out some misoriented pieces that weren’t at all obvious to me) doesn’t penalize you in any way. If you’re looking for a nice, relaxing, puzzle game, definitely give this one a go. I’ll definitely look out for other stuff put out by this developer. :-)

A dollar gets you a nice set of nature themed puzzles on a dark background that is easy on the eyes. The images are solved by turning the pieces in place, not by moving them on the board. So there is no ‘dragging and dropping’ which I like. Pieces only turn one way so if you turn it one too far you have to turn it three more times to get it back where you want it. The line art is nice and a starry background appears when you finish each puzzle. The music is peaceful. Best played in the dark to appreciate the night-sky visual theme. Good for a relaxing, casual puzzle. Note: using the hint function, press the hint button again to get back to puzzle-solving mode. The pieces are locked in the the hint mode and can’t be turned.
