Potion Meister

Not sure the point of this other than collecting stuff- put in caudron- heat it up- then no instructions on what to do next.

Its just gather mix- gather-mix- Quite boring, never made it past 20 minutes- its that boring. Good idea- poor exectution. Needs more up front to make it even somewhat fun.

Keep my $4 though- I appreciate the effort!

Warmth

Warmth

A charming, relaxing little puzzle game suitable for just about anyone. Warms you up and makes you feel cozy just watching your pets, children, and grandmothers perk up and smile as you provide them with needed light and heat. Also provides the right amount of frustration as you realized–yet again–that EVERY SINGLE GRANDMA needs THREE sources of heat before she’ll knit you that sweater she promised.

[And honestly, you’ll need the sweater because SOMEBODY has to trudge out into the darkness to get more wood for the freaking fires. Just kidding, this game isn’t Don’t Shiver, heh.]

Warmth is a short logic puzzle about finding the right arrangement of heat sources in order to satisfy certain heat requirements. The levels have a grid-like structure, with some of the tiles occupied by characters (either by a dog, a child, or a grandma), each of them having specific heat needs (for example, the grandma requires 3 heat sources around her, while the dog needs only 1). The remaining tiles can be filled with torches and camp fires that will generate heat in the surrounding cells, but must be connected with each other in order to spread the heat.

Pizza Simulator

Pizza Simulator

Pizza Simulator is a unique combination of strategy & simulation game with economic elements. You take the role of Pizzeria Manager. Start from the bottom with few bucks in your pocket to deal with the challenges of the pizza business. Come out on top, build the largest pizza franchise in the world, or end up getting broke. Welcome to the world of Pizza Simulator.

Here are just slices of the big pizza that you can eat in Pizza Simulator

Making pizzas - world’s record - 14 pizzas in 2.35m. Do it tasty, but do it fast.

Leaderboards - compare rating, speed, finances with other players

Customization - countless options of customization

Marketing - effective advertising = easier success

Delivery - everyone loves hot pizza, hate a cold one. Be always on time.

A PIZZA SLICE A DAY KEEPS SADNESS AWAY

From rags to riches - start with a small restaurant and end up with the largest pizza franchise in the world. Manage your finances as there is always a lot of expenses but mostly shortages of cash. Search for staff, hire, and fire them if it’s needed.

Create the best pizzas that have been ever made having more than 50 ingredients to choose from. Remember, even an ideal pizza for one client can be horrible for others.

It’s never easy when every restaurant manager wants you to fail. Rats, bugs, electricity shortages, sanitary & tax controls, mafia are just a few problems you would be dealing with. Although if you can’t beat them fairly, maybe it’s time for “dirty work”. Make them regret the day they have started competing with you.

Make your dream come true. If there is an internal businessman in you and you love pizza, you came to the right place.

You’re gonna serve pizzas for lots of picky clients. You’ll meet veg/fish/meat lovers, children, old people, and teenagers. All of them have different tastes. It’s won’t be a simple walk in the park.

Corpsefall

Corpsefall

What is Corpsefall?

  • Guess what? You’re a dang witch.

  • Guess also what? You’re broke as heck and have moved to a place called Corpsefall to make your fortune!

  • Wouldn’t you know it though, Corpsefall is a shanty town, and also broke as heck.

  • Looks like you’ll need to harvest resources, craft your wares, and sell them to make that dough, then build the town up from nothing.

  • Let’s throw some townspeople into the mix! They’re a weird lot, and you’re gonna meet them all.

Make some friends, man!

  • Maybe help that insecure Duopus find her inner sea monster.

  • I hear the Arena Master is looking for blood, just a pint or two.

  • Rule of threes, baby! The point is, there are a bunch of people to meet, help, and email…

Oh, what’s that? Email?

  • You read that right. Corpsefall isn’t your typical RPG/Farming Sim, it’s also an operating software.

  • “That doesn’t make sense!" you exclaim, and yeah, you’re right. Check out the screenshots, cause they illustrate it better.

  • Drag those townspeople around your desktop, they don’t mind.

Town upgrades install more townspeople and unlock things to do like:

  • Gardening

  • Arena running

  • Dungeon diving

  • And more

Right, email.

You’ve got a little mail center app! Use it to chat with the townspeople, fulfill requests, and hand out reaction icons.

So get to brewing! You’ve got a shanty town to rebuild.


This game has been my first venture into pixel art and programming, so all feedback is welcome! I would love to know any features you’d like to see in the future.

What We Pretend To Be

What We Pretend To Be

Cheap, relaxing and really nice soundtrack.

This is the kind of game you buy if you have some money to spare, and you’re in need of a casual relaxation game. There is no point to the game, and it’s really really short, but honestly, I think it was worth the small fee. I love the graphic style, and the lighting is god-tier, but the texturing is kinda off-putting in some areas, with glitching clouds and the ground clipping with the grass. There’s not much to the story, but that’s not really the appeal of the game, so I wouldn’t leave much criticism there.

Real player with 3.3 hrs in game

Very short game play, not much story. Mindless wheat farming, once the builder dies you can’t make any more improvements to your town.

Chef’s Tail

Chef’s Tail

The game is currently extremely buggy, and has no graphics settings.

I really love this game’s idea, and I love the game’s settings. I also love the story line so far.

I hope the game gets some optimization updates, and some bug fixes, preferably bug fixes to be honest.

I’ll recommend this game once it gets bug fixes and some optimization updates.

Editing my review December 2021. This game has had a couple of small bug fixe patches since I first made this review months ago.

Game is less buggy now. I recommend this game if you don’t mind that it is still a little buggy.

The game is currently broken as the cooking menu glitches out and makes it unplayable, haven’t even gotten a response on their discord. Shame, like the idea of the game and it looks cute but needs better support

City Country

City Country

City Country is a city-building game where you manage resources, population, knowledge. You control various sectors of the city like education, medicine, culture, tourism, trading.

You start at some point into the map. Citizens will equally be separated into Men/Women and Farmers/Workers. The population will be separated into 4 different categories: Farmers, Workers, Engineers, and Academics. Any population category will work on different buildings and will have a unique family house.

You have the option to produce whatever you like, and what You don’t like, you can buy it at any time, or sign a contract for a later system that automatically buys the product from another city immediately. After that, you should sell part of the production so you can take some fresh money into the city.

As a governor of the city, your job is to grow your city, improve your resource incomes, sell your resources and take fresh money, make your city better for life, and manage city sectors as best as you can.

Government Sectors

  • Trading: - Sign a contract with other cities (AI) when you have less than N amount of resource, buy M amount of that resource, and vice versa.

  • Education: - Decide what to learn, how long, and when to start people’s education.

  • Medicine: - Improve the health of the citizens, and their lives.

  • Culture: - Improve the knowledge of the citizens. And be a more attractive city for foreign peoples.

  • Tourism: - Make money when you attract tourists. Build Hotels. Some of them can decide to continue to live in your city.

Develop Your City

Knowledge (Technology)

Investigate new products for future production and unlock new buildings.

Production (Resource Management)

Choose what to produce from the Factory profile.

Niche - a genetics survival game

Niche - a genetics survival game

I’ve been searching for a game with breeding mechanics, and this game scratched that itch I’ve had for so long now. I love how it’s not just a “Red parent and blue parent have purple child” simple type of breeding game, tho those are fun to play too. It actually uses real life genetics. So there are some genes that are dominant/recessive, co-dominance, incomplete dominance… and you run into real problems if you inbreed too much.

There are so many genes! You can make your nichelings be primarily herbevores or carnavores. You can make them fly or swim. They can survive hot climates, cold climates, and even poisonous swamp environments. Or you can make them anything inbetween! And these are just the genes to help you survive the environment! There are tons more genes that are purely cosmetic

Real player with 372.6 hrs in game

Niche – a genetics survival game, is of course an early access game. It revolves around these creatures, which aren’t anything specific. Many people describe them as cats and bunnies combined, with plenty more. You start off with Adam and Eve, and must breed them, occasionally using the Mutation Menu in hopes of getting specific or better genetics for your creatures. As you go on you must strategically pick each creature you mate together in order to get the most optimal genetics. There are many islands to go to and fro. During your adventure you’ll come across many challenges, of course. This includes carnivores, who come to of course eat your creatures (or, really, just to kill them), or going into harder islands you’ll encounter birds, who will eat your babies if they’re not within a hexagon (or square, step, spot) of the baby. There’s also Dodomingos who will take every chance they get to steal a nest, and if you attack it, it’ll attract more Dodomingos, and perhaps even carnivores. Perhaps you’ll encounter a Rogue Male (previously Horny Male) who will breed with your females if you’re not watching. There’s also leeches who will attach to unsuspecting creatures, even if they’re on the shore. There are also a few biome specific creatures, such as the different (Hearing, Seeing, and Smelling) Apes, who you’re suppose to run from rather than fight. Or the Mountain Biome creatures, such as Walrus Deer (Who I believe is prey) Arctic Ramfox, who is also like the carnivore, and will steal meat you haven’t picked up, or the infamous Balance Bear. The Balance Bear is the Apes of the Mountain biome. You’re suppose to run from it, rather than fight it, and it only appears during snow.

Zen World

Zen World

Zen World is a fun chill puzzle game in the vein of Dorfromantik and Mini Metro / Motorways.

At its core its a game where you expand the map with tiles, get boxes with upgrades and resources to expand more, and in the end you get a highscore.

It feels like a very basic version of Civilization that’s drizzled down to its most essential elements (that being said I haven’t played a lot of Civilization. This is NOT a 4X game, this is a puzzle game).

The developer has stated that in time there will be full controller support, more tile types, a mid-game save/load system, multiplayer (coop and versus), custom game mode with modifiers, better visual & effects and a lot more.

Real player with 52.0 hrs in game

Very fun to play.

It’s like Settlers of Catain, but more relaxing.

Very simple to start but is has complexes that make it a mini strategy game.

Before We Leave

Before We Leave

I have personally been enjoying this game very much! I appreciate that I don’t need to worry about war or combat, nor must I consider the monetary value of my peoples (ie. slavery). It still can be challenging, and I was pleasantly surprised by the little challenges it throws your way (ex: the gremlins!). The aesthetic is very pleasing, and it isn’t very demanding graphically. I would definitely recommend this! I’ve written out some of my experiences and some tips! ♥

  • The Tutorial -

Doing the tutorial is a good idea and I do recommend it, but the tutorial will take you through pretty much the whole game, or at least deep into the mid-game – this could literally be hours and hours lol. But I would suggest stopping after you have started to explore your second planet., then proceed to your own games.

Before we leave is one the best games I have played in a long time for getting right into the game and understanding what to do. It’s not because it’s easy or simple. It’s because of the amazing job they did with the tutorial system and explaining the basics of the game.
