A nice, fun little game! There are three areas (clans) and each of them have their own plot and style of gameplay to complete the tasks (fighting, puzzle solving, etc.). It’s a little short (around an hour-ish) but you’ll be invested pretty much the entire time in that hour and the game definitely has its charm.

SokoMatch: Lizard Saga

SokoMatch: Lizard Saga

You have to clear 40 levels by playing away all colored blocks by pushing them together in a line or hook.

Moves can be undone. There is no penalty, no number of moves target.

The levels are not too easy, which is nice. I finished them a first time in 2 hours.

The music is not annoying, volume and effects can be adjusted as well as the resolution and screen mode.

Too bad the movement is a little bit sluggish. I prefer being able to play fast.

Apart from the fact I wished there were more levels, it’s the only minor issue I had.

Space Rocket

Space Rocket

This game is a lot of fun and passes time with a laugh, especially when you blow up a spaceship full of “people” going for the perfect flight. I can’t wait to see what this game becomes!

I know the game is less than 50 cents. However do not waste your money. After starting off on earth and making my way to Mars you cannot go any further as the game will not allow you to upgrade the rocket any further. pretty irritated to be stuck on the second planet in the game. You cannot progress any further without upgrading the rocket which you cannot. Don’t buy this game. I find it hysterical it says the game is mostly positive till you scroll to the bottom of the page and it says mixed reviews down there.

Mini Moves: Among Stars

Mini Moves: Among Stars

A short but entertaining casual game in which astronaut figures have to be moved to the correctly coloured flags in a limited number of moves. The 40 levels increased in difficulty (including certain paths only usable by a particular astronaut) so that it was very satisfying to work out the solutions to the later levels. Unfortunately the achievements system appears to have broken recently; this was a little disappointing but didn’t spoil my overall enjoyment of the game.

Great game! The progression of the levels is good and challenging. I love games with this atmosphere. Recommended!

NABOKI

NABOKI

While a lot of puzzle games consist of moving parts to get something to someplace else in particular, Naboki is a disassembling game. You have to take three-dimensional puzzles apart.

A fresh idea, lots of levels, a quite nice variety of mechanics and somewhat surprisingly high difficulty make this game not only exceptionally cheap, but also give it exceptionally good value.

If you have played any of the other games of the developer, you’re going to love this as well. These series are a lot better than the likes of ZUP, gameplay wise.

The Relent Composition is a fractional lock puzzle or puzzle box appearing in the game Naboki by Maciej Targoni. This lock puzzle is a mystical/mechanical device that acts as a door—or a key to a door—to another dimension or plane of existence. The solution of the puzzle creates a bridge through which beings may travel in either direction across this “Schism”. The inhabitants of these other realms may seem angelic to humans. An ongoing debate with the game is whether the realm accessed by the Relent Composition is intended to be the Christian version of Heaven, or some other dimension of endless pleasure and comfort.

Up Left Out

Up Left Out

Up Left Out is a sliding block puzzle game where the primary gimmick is that the blocks have to be slid out of the pegs holding them before they can be moved around like normal. For the starting levels, removing the blocks from the pegs is all you have to do, but later on you’ll also have to create complete lines from red fragments on top of the blocks, as well as contend with other mechanics like rotating blocks and moving walls.

My main problem with this game is that it feels half-finished. There’s only around 50 levels, and considering how every time a new mechanic is introduced the game uses a few levels to ease you into how it works, it feels like only one half of the package is made of actual puzzles. Of those, the majority felt more like busywork than brainteasers, and when I reached the point where the game became engaging enough that I felt it was about to truly START, I suddenly got a “THANK YOU FOR PLAYING”, followed by a few bonus levels easier than what I just played. Disappointing, to say the least.

Up Left Out is another short minimalist puzzle game from the maker of Hook, Klocki and Push but this time you are sliding blocks around.

There are various goals to accomplish. It starts off simply, you just need to free each block from it’s holding pin. Other mechanics are slowly introduced, blank blocks that just get in the way, patterns and lines on top of the blocks that need to be matched together to end the puzzle, buttons that rotate all the pieces and walls/gates that can be manipulated to stop blocks at specific places. These walls demonstrate the fundamental mechanic, blocks slide as far as they can until they hit something. Some of the later and best puzzles contain blocks that can only be moved once that pattern on top of them is replicated on other movable blocks.

Athena, the rabbit - Jigsaw Puzzle

Athena, the rabbit - Jigsaw Puzzle

Such a cute, short game with an adorable bunny at the center. Picked it up for a whole 50 cents, but would have paid the $1.99 if I had to. Relaxing fun for anyone. That 576 pieces achievement can be done with any puzzle. Looking back on it, I would have chosen one that had more distinctive color changes. It is rather hard with one that has a lot of sameness throughout. But you do get to chose.

Very cute game and cute rabbit! I was so involved in the riveting story shown via Instagram photos.

Unfortunately not any time keeping mechanics that would be helpful for a speedrun of this game. There was also no way to turn off the photo of the puzzle in the background because it kind of makes me feel like I’m cheating. Still, I wish/hope for an update or a sequel to Athena’s life.

Personally I muted the music for this game (it’s not atrocious, but there is no volume slider, and I just felt listening to Dedo on Dedo by Simply on repeat for hours was more fitting)
