Ultreïa: Prologue
WOW! What a wonderful game!! Will definitely recommend it. Did have a lot of problems loading it & was just about to quit trying but on last attempt it finally loaded! (the intro was very glitchy for a few mins & then cleared up). I actually enjoyed it so much that i ended up playing thru several times. I love point & click games especially ones like this game…..just point & go! Personally i have such a hard time using a controller, I mean what’s with all the lingo in settings? I have no idea what I am adjusting….like “shadow” What? Huh? Hate how sensitive they can be when it is a FP game…..like why do i need to use 2 or 3 buttons plus the toggle just to simply walk down a road & then find out that i had been walking in circles YIKES! I’m having a terrible time trying to play Edith Finch….Took me an hr just to get to her old home LOL….Anyhow it looks like i’m regressing, (as i often tend to do) so, back to Ultreia…..again, it’s a great little gem, controls are simple & the whole game flows, great plot & the sweetest robot ever! Cheers & stay safe!!!

I enjoyed this and plan on getting the full game eventually for sure.
The art is beautiful, and I think the dialog and story is interesting.
This is a point and click game, but it is a really nice point and click game.
The puzzles aren’t ridiculously hard in this nor ridiculously easy. They make sense.
Worth your time playing the Prologue at the very least if you have any interest in point and clicks.

Get-A-Grip Chip
Get-A-Grip Chip is a fun platformer for people who know one obvious truth: The grappling hook is the best part of every video game.
Launch yourself around the screen navigating terrain and avoiding hazards. You can’t jump, but you spend the majority of the game airborne. The mechanics and sound design feel crisp. The art design is fun without being overly cutesy. The difficulty is intermediate. If you sometimes play games casually with friends/family this is a game that can be picked up pretty quickly and where you can make meaningful progress without being super deftly handed. The game has full controller support, but it plays fine with a Mouse and keyboard. The checkpoints are frequent enough not to inspire extreme frustration. At the same time, each level has secrets and collectibles that require stronger play. It also has a global speedrunning scoreboard for every level, and achievements for completing every level without dying so beating levels without using the checkpoints at all and finding the fastest possible path is rewarding and gives very strong players something to do after completing the main game.

I really enjoyed this title - the mechanics are smooth and easy to employ. I played it on keyboard and mouse and the game itself recommends that the player should use a controller. I really liked keyboard and mouse. Its a great platformer to speedrun; for a greater challenge try to find all of the battery bots. There’s 8 per level and some are overt, others are hidden. There’s a fun rhythm grab, pull, and release. Building momentum is part of the fun. The set pieces on each level keep the game interesting. The highlight is the cute character design and the soundtrack, which I loved.

Your time would be better spent playing flash games instead of this. Glad I didn’t have to pay for it.

31st prototype
Though the game was really short, I really appreciated playing it. The story, the puzzles and the art were really great and entertaining. I was invested in it and it was really fun.
The downsides were the wonky translations and the fact that I had a hard time to click into certain places (which was a minor issue) but besides that, it was all good!

Neat little game, loved the sketch sytle.

NRG
NRG is an indie platform PVP action game, done a bit different.
Energy management is key, and keeping a constant eye on incoming bullets, hang of walls, and parkour about.
It’s ideally played with controller, and the movements feel pretty smooth.
Plenty of pewpews, bright colors, and free is always nice!

This game is quick to pick up. Great for casual play. The devs are enjoyable people. They are definitely not shy people. They are full of life and ambitions for this game. This game brings a new perspective to 3D platforming. I hope this game lifts off.
The soundtrack is alright, having it on loop in my ear for 5 hours. I do wish there were more sfx to the finishers. But i can understand why not due to copyright issues and etc.
The graphics are simplistic and adorable. Which are contradictory to their actions. 🤣 With limited maps so far, be prepared to watch the same scenery spin around your computer screen. The UI is rough to the eye, but the dev team does have some ideas on it in the future.

Red Rust
Red Rust is retro-style side-scrolling game which uniquely combines fighting mechanics with shooting mechanics. The game is heavily inspired by 8bit and 16bit hits of the 90s, but it’s being developed with the modern player in mind. Tons of great animation, hand-drawn backgrounds, variety of in-game situations and powerful soundtrack!
It’s the year 1984 and you control Agent Red (or just Red), a soviet KGB officer who has been sent to the West on a secret mission. She is an attractive but brutal and cold-hearted girl! Over the course of the game she learns to understand her own emotions and the unfamiliar world around her.
Sam & MaRU
The premise:
It’s a Zach-Like programming puzzle game where you write code to move robots around a 2D grid and perform tasks. If that sounds like your thing (and it certainly sounded like mine!), you’ll probably like this one. The most well-known and obvious game to compare it to is 7 Billion Humans, but to me it feels much more heavily influenced (in both gameplay and story, and art style for that matter) by Marvellous, Inc..
It is different enough from both of those to qualify as its own thing, though.

A charming little game where you program your worker-bot to complete mundane tasks - uncover a sinister plot - and get in over your head engaging in corporate espionage!
The levels lacked any leaderboards - so there’s less of an incentive to optimise everything like you often get in this genre - so not a huge amount of replay value; but I was a big fan of the easter eggs, with extra scraps of story hidden off the main track.
It’s also good at teaching you the mechanics; introducing them slowly - so by the end combining them into a complex program becomes second nature… I mean very good at that; someone has obviously put a lot of thought into doing that.

Manufactoria 2022
This is one of the best games in the zachlike genre that I’ve played. It beats every non-Zachtronics zachlike I can think of, and beats a bunch of Zachtronics games as well. The computational model in this game is just so rich despite its simplicity, that even 70 hours in, I can still discover new patterns that help me optimise a level or two.
The original Manufactoria introduced me to this genre way back when, and this is a fantastic remake that improves on the original in every aspect. It took me a little over 70 hours to beat every level and get every medal in the game, and I could put in countless more to push my scores to their limits.

If you like engineering/puzzle games, definitely try this out. A small number of simple mechanics combine powerfully enough to let you do very complex things. Plus, compare scores with global leaderboards and your friends.
If you remember Manufactoria from 2010, this is the same idea but more polished and with more puzzles.
