Bouncer Story
So if you like light resource management games you will enjoy this game. I played it for almost 4 hours straight yesterday and the time just flew. I did finish my first playthrough in this time so it is a short game but fairly priced around 5 bucks cause it’s pretty fun.

Intro
Bouncer Story tells a story of you, a bouncer, who suddenly amassed a lot of debts in a single day from gambling. The thing is, you’re in debt to the mafia, and there’s no telling of what they will do if you can’t pay the debt in time. You’ll have to use your wits to earn a lot of money while paying for rent, debt, and skill points to survive the harsh job as a bouncer.

S.U.B.
Small and simple co-op but very fun
– Real player with 1.4 hrs in game
Small co-op station game.
1 submarine, 2 players, 4 stations (steering, weapons, scanner, smelter), 1 level. essential, this feels like a minimalist version of Catastronauts that is also less exciting. You navigate the deep looking for keycards and scrap metal while fending off laser sharks, and when you enter the enemy base, it turns out they’re in another castle, and the game ends. Mind you, the concept isn’t that bad, and if the devs had put some effort into making a campaign and different enemies, it could be a lot better; but as it is, If you want to do couch co-op, I recommed springing for a better game that has more variety.

REVIEW
I loved this game! I really enjoy the gameplay of it, it’s not like a regular tycoon game on a phone or android where you just tap for coins; theres recipes, goals, different coffee shop levels, and the best part is that it’s in alpha stage, once it releases I expect there to be more levels, more recipes, and better 2D placement. The only concern I had was, that on the mall stage it wouldn’t let me progress to the next shop, the progression bar would go up, and the robot you’d click was not there, almost as it wasn’t even there. I spent about 1-2 hours on that shop just to have to restart. Other than that, this game is fun to play if you have nothing to do, or just want a new variety of gaming.

Think The Sims, but with coffee shops. This is the me-ist game I’ve ever purchased. And yes, it’s riddled with bugs, but that doesn’t warrant bad reviews. (It really doesn’t - I finished this game despite the bugs. There are cheat codes you can use to warp to the otherwise unreachable subsequent levels, and you’ll find ways around the glitches. More on that later.) These bugs are definitely a shame, but I beg you to stick with it, or at least pick it up again when the patch rolls around. It is so worth playing.

The beginning of the XX century brought us new opportunities. Show off the qualities of an excellent leader, as you will become the head of the car factory. It is up to you what will the future of the automotive industry look like.
You will participate in the process of creating a car from the beginning to the end. Test manufactured cars as soon as they leave the production line.
Behind every car you create are people, more or less experienced. It is your responsibility to make the factory run at full capacity. Assign tasks accordingly to the skills of employees.
The development of the production line is the keystone. Start with individual stations to turn them later into a group of smaller, more-effective positions. Who knows, maybe in the future you will become a completely independent plant that produces even the smallest screw.
In big business, it is easy to stay behind. Research new technologies and employ supervisors to ensure a top speed production.
Defense of the Oasis
I picked this up after being mentioned on Crate and Crowbar as a puzzle game with very short rounds appealed. It fits that comforting spot very well. I can play a few rounds while other stuff is happening around me in the house. As an older game it’s also at the right price. I have never been a graphics obsessive, but to me these graphics have an old-school style, but work fine on my 1yr old Windows gaming laptop, and I never have trouble working out what a particular tile is. The game structure is an elegant idea with not too many pieces, where the pieces combine well to create lots of interesting variation.

I bought this game a long time ago - forgot about it, tried to find it again a few times over the years since and it was impossible to find. I was so excited to see it finally on Steam! However after 2 minutes it’s clear that it is just a port of an amazingly old game. Going into full-screen mode immediately breaks the game and makes it unplayable with a ton of graphical glitches. I’m glad its available to play though, but be warned that it’s a bit ugly and potentially buggy.
It has been described as ‘Civ meets Minesweeper’ and if that sounds like something you’re into I recommend it.

Premier Manager 02/03
I played this game when i was a teenager.. honestly, this is the best football manager game i ever played. the scene discussing with the staff, chairman, agent, coach and others are totally make the game look realistic as football manager. I’m still waiting any developer to create a game like this masterpiece.

Tiny Rails
STEER CLEAR!
Update: The game is idle. Idle money making is bugged and has been for more than two years. It doesn’t seem like the devs are even trying to fix it.
There are so many issues with this game.
-
All train cars come from the gum ball machine, and you may need one that’s quite rare
-
You need said car because: The more passenger slots you have, the more you need to please them
-
If you find a cart that gives the stats you need, it will also have space for passengers, increasing the amount you need to please them

This game doesn’t have many reviews so I felt the need to write one out.
Graphics
Good lord the graphics are impressive! And as a fellow artist I heavily appreciate the “proper” use of pixel art. I noticed some games that use pixel art don’t use it the way it was supposed to be done and took me right out of the game. So this is a big bonus for me. The trains are all gorgeously done and many of the cars are really unique, or even easter eggs. I really appreciate we have the option to stick to more “realistic” cars and don’t have to use the ones that purposely look silly. All of the background assets are a joy to look at and I can’t imagine how much time was spent working on everything individually and also have it all fit together so well in a scene. Honestly if you’re a pixelart buff I’d just recommend the game to gawk at the graphics!
