Hard Glide

Hard Glide

This is an arcade-style inertial skill-shooter with mouse control only. You have to go through several dozen arenas, collecting orbs, destroying enemies, dodging various obstacles. Power-ups and various modifiers are included!

The game offers to pass the levels as quickly as possible (to get into the online leaderboard), although this is not necessary.

This game is weird, and that is awesome.

The concept of ‘puzzle’ in this game is the one of ‘optimization,’ because if you stitch here and there not really knowing what you are doing you can easily beat the first few levels of the game, but it becomes clear that you have to be more precise and intuitive if you want to get those three star ratings and finish the game! I definitely recommend this to people who are more used to puzzle games, but if you are looking for the most difficult of challenges, this may not be you…

Telepathy Zero

Telepathy Zero

This game is pure RNG. Your task is to guess which one out of 3 symbols will come next, and build a high streak of correct guesses. Failing the prediction once will reset your streak.

The final achievement is to get a streak of 10. In each round you have a 1/3 = 33.3% chance to win. Your chance to get 10 correct predictions in a row is (1/3)^10 = 0.001693508%. Statistically you will need to play 3^10 = 59049 rounds to get a streak of 10. Doing a geometric distribution with p = 1-(1/3), statistically you get an expected value (= average streak) of 0.5 correct picks. The game takes about 4 seconds to reveal if your prediction is correct. So statistically you will need (1+0.5)4 = 6 seconds in average to complete one round; so to complete 59049 rounds you would need an average of 590496 = 354294 seconds (= ~246 hours = ~10.25 days) to complete the game (as in: get all achievements).

TL:DR It’s not fun. It’s not cute. It’s annoying and shouldn’t even be on steam. For the price, it’s a pass. If they paid me, it might be worth it… if they paid me high enough.

I didn’t trust the reviews I read. You can only read three and two are negative. There’s a reason for the negatves. There is no game to it at all. You put on an autoclicker and hope for the best. After over 8 hours still nothing close to the 10 streak. Sitting there clicking them will give you less. There should be something that helps you in selecting which card is next. If they’d add some hint system that kicks in after three in a row, and then gives obscure hints so you had some puzzle aspect to it then it would be a game. But nope. Whatever bug allowed for others to complete this has either been fixed or just requires a certain amount of hours or involved a card I did not pick. I do have the bug that doesn’t save your settings though. I put it on windowed and set the window to the size I want. When I restart the game it fullscreens after the intro to the game. Thanks for the added annoyance factor.

Five Nights at Freddy’s

This game saved my life.

I am 41.

My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and adopted our son together. They are now both 4 years old.

When we were going through our separation, I found myself lost and miserable. I was self destructive. I got so mad one day from everything spiraling out of my control that I punched some concrete in a moment of overwhelming emotion. That caused me to break my 5th metacarpal in my right hand… my working hand… my games hand.. the hand that I held and carried my children to bed with.. The hand I desperately needed to make sure I could continue to provide.

Hello, hello? Uh, I wanted to record a message for you to help you get settled in on your first night. Um, I actually worked in that office before you. I’m finishing up my last week now, as a matter of fact. So, I know it can be a bit overwhelming, but I’m here to tell you there’s nothing to worry about. Uh, you’ll do fine. So, let’s just focus on getting you through your first week. Okay?

Uh, let’s see, first there’s an introductory greeting from the company that I’m supposed to read. Uh, it’s kind of a legal thing, you know. Um, “Welcome to Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. A magical place for kids and grown-ups alike, where fantasy and fun come to life. Fazbear Entertainment is not responsible for damage to property or person. Upon discovering that damage or death has occurred, a missing person report will be filed within 90 days, or as soon property and premises have been thoroughly cleaned and bleached, and the carpets have been replaced.”

Castle Break

Castle Break

Its a great hardcore oldschool arcaniod-style game with no mercy to slowpoke players.

Did not expected i’ve spend all the evening, kicking virtual bombs around the screen :D

Controlling your own robot, you have to break through the enemy walls, protecting your troops from being destroyed by the enemy. Each new level brings new powerfull enemies on the battlefield, opens new tools and weapons to upgrade your robot.

Pros:

  • funny pixel-style graphics

  • hardcore gameplay

  • levels variety

  • different gamestyles by using different tools

Very nice game, I caught nostalgia when I was a child playing this game on the football field, instead of bombs we had a ball, and instead of a castle and minions, a grid/wall

Convenient one-mouse operation that allows you to take a breath while working.

I liked the idea, with construction, in this game you can even shoot))

A simple game that I figured out in the first minutes of the game.

Retro-style graphics are very suitable for it, it feels like you moved to the 90’s, and you play this game on a slot machine, and there are a lot of spectators behind you

Odysseus Kosmos and his Robot Quest (Complete Season)

Odysseus Kosmos and his Robot Quest (Complete Season)

If you’ve played many of these formats of games, I really recommend Odysseus Kosmos and his Robot Quest. I’d avoid giving this game to a new player of the point-n-click genre. Here is why…

I’ve play many point-n-click adventures over the years, so I feel safe saying this one is good. Worlds away, literally and figuratively, from the oldies of the 90’s and 00’s. The story unfolds nicely, containing a nice balance between reveling foreshadowing and not giving away too much too soon. The ending is satisfying and makes the game play feel more rewarding. The game drops clues automatically when I was spending too much time re-exploring the same areas for missed objects, clues, and fun. The available hint button can usefully progress a person through the majority of the game smoothly and uses the same humor as the story.

There’s a lot to love about the adventure. Although at times it is slow in pushing the story forward and you’ll do a lot of similar tasks across the 5 episodes as they are mostly set in the same environments with plenty of backtracking. The overall quality however is quite high and there is a large range of different style puzzles to be had. Although some were very frustrating as it can not only just be a matter of selecting the right item combo, but also in the timing of when you apply them. Really need to be paying attention to the small details of the items and the environment. Used a walk through for a couple of sections as I was close but not quite applying things exactly as required.

good fast paced gameplay with nice difficulty(key is to keep going at it) and varied environments

This game really needs an infinite life option. The checkpoints are un-charitable enough that it’d still be a challenging experience, and one that’d be less frustrating. Also I have no idea how to get past level 2.

Odysseus Kosmos and his Robot Quest: Episode 1

Odysseus Kosmos and his Robot Quest: Episode 1

Not bad for a free game. A simple point and click adventure. Some cute jokes, but not easy to solve. Really needed a walkthrough to finish. Not really interested in a sequel.

Update.

I came back to this game in order to get all the achievements. At one point, it was impossible to get all the achievements without buying all the episodes. I give credit to the developers. They updated the game, so you’re not forced to buy any additional episodes to get all the achievements.

If you like the demo and want to buy additional episodes, then get the Complete Season. For some reason, it’s listed on a different page.

My daughter and I just played through the demo and episode 1, and whilst it was nice to get it for free, we found a number of frustrating issues just ruined the experience to the point that we’d personally not consider buying the rest of the episodes. Let me explain…

The good:

  • It has a great premise, although it feels 100% ripped from Interstella.

  • The graphics are reminiscent of older Lucas Arts games

  • The storey line is reasonable

  • It’s not too short, and not too long

The Bad:

  • For a point n click that should be dialog heavy, this feels too heavy. At times there is just too much dialog.

Skyrift is a reaction-based game about deflecting projectiles, and while I had a hard time with the colors, it would be a lot of fun if I got better at it. The leaderboard adds competition, too. 6/10
