Loot Hero DX
TL;DR: A well-made but fairly pointless grinding game. Only recommended for achievement hunters so you at least get a trophy out of it.
In a traditional RPG you usually start as a low-level character with little to no equipment and the only way to become more powerful is to complete quests kill monsters.
Basically begin with a standard RPG. Take out quests and dialogues, reduce equipment to purchasable stats and reduce the combat to just damage-per-second and make it a side-scroller and you’ve got yourself Loot Hero. The gameplay consists of three parts: choosing a level, running left and right killing monsters and buying better stats at the towns in-between. There’s also a short and pretty meaningless story: a terrible dragon has appeared and you, the hero, has to go and kill it to save the land.

I really want to like this game: it has really neat pixel graphics, lots of critters to kill, keeps stats, and has achievements and trading cards. But, the reality is that the gameplay gets boring after the first three minutes. Even the added concept of releasing miners to collect gold for you after every successful run through all levels fails, because it’s just accelerating a timer event…it doesn’t add to the gameplay at all.
In the end, all you do is collect enough treasure and XP to buff your character, who kills the baddies by – literally – running into them. There is no learning tactics for combat or developing strategies by buffing your character a specific way. You just level up your stats evenly as you collect loot, enough that you don’t watch your health bar go down much at all while you’re running back and forth, grind away until you start taking damage as you continue through the levels, and then rinse and repeat. Gameplay does not change on any levels, nor do you treat any of the creatures differently…you just run through them.

Sweet Tooth 2
Sweet Tooth 2 is another asset/template flip from crap merchants, Garage Games/HotFoodGames. It’s a junk physics game template written in NW.js ripped off by Garage Games/HotFoodGames as an actual game (it isn’t).
Copying game templates and pretending you wrote the game yourself is just abhorrent, and it’s something Garage Games/HotFoodGames do every single time they front up the $100 to list a game on Steam. This went straight into game bundles from DailyindieGame who are totally cool with this unethical crap. Avoid this disaster.

Sweet Tooth
Sweet Tooth is a physical puzzle with a side view.
The player needs to help the green jelly-like creature, pass the levels and collect candy using physical laws. The character can take 2 forms square and circle, this is actively used in solving puzzles.
The game has 24 levels that become more complex as you progress, adding new items to pass, complicating and diversifying the gameplay.
I bet only 25% of people will pass all the levels and only 1% will collect all 3 candies in each level.

12 locks and keys
If you’re looking for something without any logic, go ahead, this game is perfect for you.
(By the way, I forgot to stop the game, you can finish it in around 10 minutes).

Lucky me has the dubious honour of writing the first review of “12 locks and keys”.
“12 locks and keys” is a 2D mobile app tier puzzle game slapped together with the godawful GameMaker Studio video game construction kit, by copy + paste merchants, wow wow Games. All these guys do is take construction kit garbage and asset flips and try scam people into paying them for someone else’s work.
In this case it does look like a little work went into filling out the Yoyogames/GameMaker Studio template for a 2D puzzle game… but not much. The game doesn’t even work because it doesn’t properly register mouseclicks. I guess since wow wow Games don’t do any game development and just copy/fill out game templates made by others, it should be no surprise they don’t do any software testing either.

Cossack and Magic
good graphics, great soundtrack.
– Real player with 0.9 hrs in game
So you’ve read the description and now you’re down here in the comments trying to figure out what’s it all about. Click the video above to see some of the gameplay, mechanic and hear my thoughts on the game.
Cossack and Magic is side scrolling tower defense game that’ll having you, “Damn, they got me right in the Cossack.” The graphics are delightful, the gameplay is fun but the biggest thing here is the music. The soundtrack is a nonstop slapper from title to end. Each stage gets progressively harder but I found the difficulty level spiked going in to stage four of the campaign. I was able to beat level 3 with only hiring two Cossacks but wasn’t able to get out of the gates in level four before being bombarded by the enemy troops.

Gold Miner
This is just some old game that’s been rehashed. The music is dreadful and on a loop that only lasts a few seconds.
It is also very buggy. I gave up after the cable just went off screen never to reappear and then I couldn’t even exit without force-closing the game.
One to avoid.

Grim Clicker
~~TLDR: The game itself is pretty good but the state of the cash shop has led me to ultimately downvote this game.
This game is definitely better than a vast majority of other garbage clicker games on Steam. Good art, music, UI. The items can be a bit confusing. At least early on the game is pretty generous with handing out chests, so you’ll end up with quite a few weapons. To me at least, it’s very difficult to tell what is good and what is bad. I would like to see some additional way to tell how good a certain item is.~~

So, this review will be a bit long, but it will be a idle game lovers view, and marking all pro’s and con’s I see, with some thoughts on it.
What I would like to begin with is, I had a save issue, after I had drop some $ into the game, and I wrote a message to the email given when I was looking for support. The first response back was amazing. They gave many different ways to try to fix my save file from loading cloud, or finding computer save, etc. They said if I could, they would love to at least have me start from the beginning and they would refund “all” my shards. If I could find a save of me in the 2nd world, they would start me there while refunding all my shards.
