Legends of Snooker: One Shot
Nice game, unfortunately the game connects to external servers (non Steam), which is strange considering the game is has no leaderboards or online play!!! what is the meaning of these connections?
Also the games folder contains server configuration files with strings such as:
Mainsoft.Web.Security" applicationName="/" connectionStringName="LocalSqlServer"
channel id="tcp server" type="System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.Tcp.TcpServerChannel, System.Runtime.Remoting
add type="System.Net.NtlmClient, System, Version=4.0.0.0

Active Mummy
Active Mummy is a “template flip”, that is to say, it’s a “game” that has been produced by copying a game template/filling out forms in GameMaker Studio, changing a few things, then dumping the barely functional “product” on Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab. In this case it was a GameMaker Studio template for doing a simple retro platformer game, and they added a basic Egyptian mummy tileset/sprites (probably also ripped off from somewhere).
GameMaker Studio is a very poor quality game construction kit, and results in terrible games like this one.

Mind Spheres
Mind Spheres is a heavily simplified Rube Goldberg machine puzzle game where players rotate a small number of pre-installed platforms to direct a sphere to its goal. At heart this is a very straightforward game and it is quite fun, but its few artistic flaws make the game much less enjoyable. It becomes a game where there is no market for it.
With very polished and content-filled Rube Goldberg machine games out there available on Steam like Contraption Maker and the Crazy Machines series, this game just does not have any place for it. The game is not difficult and the physics is quite consistent. If it were more fast paced, there definitely would be a reason to play this game as players could casually breeze through a few levels time to time. However, the game has unnecessary animations when starting or restarting the level. In a physics-based game where players are expected to repeat a few times after their simulation fails, this type of drawn out animations kills the pacing. There is no zoom in/out and the screen only moves side ways in the setup mode, forcing players sometimes to run the simulation only to discover they need to utilize path that is out of their view at top. The camera also moves so slow and every time the player wants to edit their level setup, later the camera starts from the middle of the map instead of where the ball is, and it pans so slowly when player is deprecatingly trying to move the screen elsewhere by keeping the cursor at the edge of the screen. In the end due to these flaws, what could have been a casual, quick and light version of simplistic Rube Goldberg machine, Mind Spheres became a puzzle game that caters no one.

Full review
Mind Spheres bills itself as a physics puzzle game; while I won’t dispute that technically that’s true, if you’re looking for deep puzzling you may want to look elsewhere. To me, I’d say this is more of a “physics manipulation game” (as if video games didn’t already have enough unnecessary sub-genres). But yeah, if we’re not being pendantic then yes it’s a physics puzzle game.

PePiBo: Peregrino Pinata Bowling
I played it on my Oculus Quest.
Fun little game. Complete play through for myself was 1 hour.
Had quite some fun playing and I am pretty sure I will play again to see if I can do a better score in some levels. I will most likely also let some family and friends have a go at it as well.
I did not encounter anything really breaking the game, it looked pretty clean. I did like the different bowling “balls'” abilities.
Funniest was when a huge boulder did run into my play area and I was boxing it back into the enemies instead of using the regular “balls”.

Experienced on the Oculus Quest 2
You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/z4UMIkerp_o
This is basically an Angry Birds clone for VR, with bowling pigs. It’s a very beautiful game, with a very pleasing art style and nice level designs that introduces new mechanics as you go along. Unfortunately, I experienced some frustrating issues with the gameplay so consider this only a neutral recommendation.
The issue I experienced was with some of the inconsistent physics and certain elements not working as they were supposed to in order to progress past the level. In particular, there was this one level where I had to basically just get very lucky to get past it. Pins would not fall, even when exploding balls exploded nearby or they went behind / clipped through objects. You can check out my video to get more in-depth with the issues in that level.

Score a goal (Physical football)
A good game of logic, allows you to relax between work, but not lose strength and concentration. Also, this game has a sequel, which is also quite good. The game has several mechanics similar to the “save jesus” game. Pretty good physics, with which you can go through the game in various ways. In general, it is recommended to purchase

Score a goal (Physical football)
Textbook-assetflip; enough said.
This game is some weird german football adaption of the game Angry Birds: you hit several objects and obstacles and… well… score a goal. Needless to say that this game is entirely built with Unity assets.
There is not much more to say about this game. There was no real effort in building something enjoyable at least from my point of view.
Physical impressions:
The Graphics:
Not worth mentioning basically because there is no viewable work by the developer(s). Everything is Unity.

Wordle
- THERE IS A MAJOR CAVEAT TO THIS REVIEW THAT YOU WILL FIND BELOW*
(Version française en-dessous: N’ACHETEZ AUCUNE DLC, TRÈS MAUVAIS!!!)
ENGLISH VERSION ONLY: Wordle is a nice little word game that I found quite relaxing. It is actually a word search game. You are presented with a word grid that will increase in size as you progress from level to level. The objective is to clear each grid using all the letters shown in it. Each level correspond to a theme, and I believe that in all the game the same word never comes back once it has appeared in a grid. There is no time pressure, and you will find at the bottom empty spaces with the exact number of letters for each word you should find. The game will save your progress, so every time you go back to it, you will pick up from where you left it. It is not too difficult, I could finish the game in under 5 hours of play, more or less. If you want to replay it, you can reset the game and all your progress will be wiped out and you will be able to start with a clean slate.

‘Worldle’ is a nice and simple game. Like many others in this genre the game is tile based and you need to link letters into words, basically do that thing that D. Trump struggles with.
The game has different difficulty levels (3x3 to 5x5 tiles) and the challenges are thematic e.g. science, camping, arts. They are currently limited to 10 levels each, which is still more than Covid restriction levels.
In overall the game is good if you are learning English, want to expand your vocabulary or just train your attention and simple problem-solving skills, it is also good for relaxed concentration.

^^^^^^^^^^^'^^^^^^^^^^^
The one thing it needs to make it perfect is a replay shortcut button because it’s tedious to go to the top left corner every time. Also the yellow replay button is unintuitively placed in between the exit and “next” button. I think those should have been placed vertically instead of horizontally but nvm.

Arcane golf is, well a golf game, kind of. You are expected to put the ball in a hole, but going through 2d levels it’s closer to a platformer with golf controls than to other minigolf type games.
The visuals of the game are very pleasing, and the game actually has some story behind it, with a character talking you through as you progress with the levels, nothing special but adds some to the world.
The gameplay for the most part is also fun, but there are a few exceptions, most levels are designed with a specific way of beating them in mind, but during some I just couldn’t figure out what that way could be, since they were really open, with no real indicators what the devs had in mind, some lightly tinted wall bricks as to indicate a first hit, or a place to aim at would be a nice touch, as it was admittedly a bit frustrating to just be stuck and try to find a valiable strategy, while messing with angles, places to shoot from or speeds of the hit. It was rare (only a few levels like that) but as there are no guides for the game it was bothersome.
