Game Saves After completion of each level

Been seeing this comment copy/pasted everywhere it's pathetic what people will do for thumbs up/awards on reviews, be original and make your own review. If you guys need proof go and look at NVL reviews, I saw it on another game a few weeks ago too.

This game gives me anger issues when i can't complete a level. And doing that over and over again is not good for your health. If you like having anger issues get the game.

It's the king of game that made you wonder how it got approved. $5 for this could almost be called "stealing". I bought it for $1, and it feel way too much for this.

I admit I'm biased, having bought this game for fifty cents at the time I did. I also have a general love of mouse movement-based games, and find other options in the way of gaming, Steam and otherwise, underwhelming in supply.

We can imagine "CORONA NERVT!" in all languages ​​and countries. Since the card text is targeting topics from Germany and that gives our Game its charm, we didn't want to make a multilingual version. All players should find themselves in the game. So if you want to publish a version for another country, get in touch with us.

Three billion human lives ended on August 29th, 1997. The survivors of the nuclear fi re called the war Judgment Day. They lived only to face a new nightmare: the war against the machines. The computer which con-trolled the machines, Skynet, sent two Terminators back through time.’

For these reasons, games can be regarded as emerging from two important aspects of fantasy: “I wish . . .” and “What if . . .?” The very nature of interactive games makes the latter personal, becoming “what if I . . .

First Person Shooters (e.g., Doom, Quake, Half Life (2001), Half Life 2 (2004), Halo Combat Evolved (2001), Halo 2) are regarded as a genre by players and categorized as such in reviews, as are Third Person games (Unreal II (2003), LegoStar Wars (2005), Gears of War), Real Time Strategy games (Starcraft (1998), Emperor: Battle for Dune (2001)), Role-Playing games (Fallout (1997)), and God/Management games (Sid Meier’sAlpha Centauri(1999)).

ideo games also offer other rewards than the powerfully amplified outputs they give. \½en I was enticed to put in effort on The New Adven-tures of the Time Machine, new compelling elements quickly arose, beyond those connected to my real-world identities and the amplification of input I experienced. I discovered that this game, like many other good video games, encourages new ways of learning and thinking for an old baby boomer like me. I discovered new powers in myself. I felt the dawning of a new identity growing, one to be added to my other real-world identities. Of course this is true of all good learning-we gain a new valued identity that gives us new powers; it's the final hook where the repair work is fi-naJly done.

First, there is a virtual identity: one's identity as a virtual character in the virtual world of Arcanum-in my case the Half-Elf Bead Bead.

He can even re-alize that his former Catholic inhibitions will not let Bead Bead take up a madam's offer of a free trip to her (female) brothel.

n my projective identity I wony about what sort of "person" I want her to be, what type of history I want her to have had by the time I am done playing the game.

A second identity that is at stake in playing a game like Arcanmn is a real-world identity:

First, there is a virtual identity: one's identity as a virtual character in the virtual world of Arcanum-in my case the Half-Elf Bead Bead.

How do you know? How does the game tell you these things? I think you’ll be surprised by how much you’ll be able to determine.

The game randomizes certain dialogs and key moments. This forces you to come up with a story in your mind and ascribe meaning to your journey and to the space. The filling in of narrative gaps is entirely in your mind. This process is not adjacent to play; it is an essential part of play itself.

Next time you leap into a game, consider taking a moment ask where you are, what that place is, and what the history might be. How do you know? How does the game tell you these things? I think you’ll be surprised by how much you’ll be able to determine.

ETH is ultra sound money

Ethereum fees are only sustained by a greater-fools game. 

PoW miners fight to more efficiently produce hashes for Bitcoin, in the hopes that their efficiencies mean that they have to sell less BTC than their competition. PoS validators compete in their bullishness on ETH, by pricing out lesser-bulls out of ETH rewards. 

The "real-life" activities of EVE community members are a striking example of when a game begins to evolve into another type of simulation. In this instance, the metagame becomes a kind of political simulation that starts to manifest itself more off the screen than it does within the virtual society. For instance, many council-members discussed how they often engage in physical player meetings in order to discuss in-game policy. As a more independent representative, Sug discussed this in some detail: "I spend hours having group and personal discussions. I do monthly open chats on a public communications server run by one of the educational corporations. I do interviews, I have gone to player meetings locally as well as the yearly CCP sponsored gathering in Las Vegas."

Ethereum secures itself

a game system is designed just so that playwill occur

The free play of a steering wheel is the distance it can move withoutengaging with the drive shaft, axle, and wheels—the more rigid utilitarianstructures of the car.

how gameplaying and game design can be seen as models for learning and action inthe real world.

As a game unfolds through play, metaplay, and transformative play,unexpected things happen, patterns that are impossible to completely pre-dict.

Increasingly, complex infor-mation systems are part of how we socialize and date, conduct businessand finance, learn and research, and conduct our working lives.

match begins, your friend suddenly becomes your oppon-ent and bitter rival—at least for the duration of the game.

game creates its ownmeanings (blue means enemy; yellow means power-up), but also trafficswith meanings from the outside (horror film music in a shooter meansdanger is coming; poker means a fun evening with friends).

but after four or so years, it just feels like it ought to be better.

It was a showcase of ideology as much as sporting achievement. The main venue was Moscow’s Central Lenin Stadium, now better known as Luzhniki, which also held the soccer World Cup final in 2018. The Soviets and their allies held up sporting successes as a validation of their political systems.

Bill McKibben's The End of Nature  (Penguin Random House, 1989) followed

he is presuming a deterministic response is necessary thus beginning the discussion with a circular and often confounding game of question begging.

as it stands, this only goes to highlight what a miracle, what a classic for the ages Actraiser really is, whilst confirming itself as, unfortunately, one to avoid.

Graceful Explosion Machine is the gaming equivalent of empty calories. It's pretty to look at, super smooth, and has some interesting weapons, but there's no real hook to keep you sustained beyond the act of moving around and blowing up aliens.

Game looks great, ignore the 1 score review. Disgruntle co worker, perhaps? Perhaps a jealous fellow pupil... When all ither reviews are 7 or more and there's one review with a 1 score and a novel saying just why they thinks... you know something's not quite right. Hopefully this will go some way to normalising the score.

Probably the only thing I'd like to see fixed now is the possibility of quick restart like in the old Timberman and not having to wait for the 'Game Over' screen to finally be back to the good ol' choppin'

We are are continuing our commitment to creating our games that are free and widely accessible anyone that is curious by making our game files available under Creative Commons license BY–NC–SA 4.0. That means we will continue offering a full, free print-and-play kit for Pax Pamir, and later this campaign, John Company! Anyone can use, remix, and share the game, so long as they do not use it for commercial purposes. 

John Company offers players a new understanding of British history in the eighteenth and nineteenth century that reflects contemporary scholarship on the subject and extensive research into primary documents. John Company attempts to put the critical events of that time in their proper context and show how the imperial experience transformed the domestic culture of Britain. The East India Company lurked behind every building of a textile mill and every bit of wealth in a Jane Austen novel.  John Company is an uncompromising portrait of the people who made the Company and the British Empire what it was. It is as frank as it is cutting in its satire.  Accordingly, the game wrestles with many of the key themes of imperialism and globalization in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and how those developments were felt domestically. As such, this game might not be suitable for all players. Please make sure everyone in your group consents to this exploration before playing.

Unfortunately, there is some urgency to this effort. As Shashi Tharoor writes in his book Inglorious Empire (2018), over the past 30 years, there has been a tremendous bout of collective amnesia, espeically in the UK, about the history of empire and its consequences. Into this vacuum, revisionist historians of the worst kind like Niall Ferguson have capitalized on historical blind spots of people living today to make an absurd case for the benefits of empire. This cannot be allowed to happen. Tharoor believes that one of the best bulwarks against this erasure is to do the work of inquiry and to make the history of empire accessible and apparent to the widest audience. It is into this effort that I submit my work. John Company is an unsparing portrait that hopefully will give its players a sense of the nature of empire and the long half-life of its cultural production. It is certainly not the only way to make a game about empire, but I hope that it does its part in adding to our understanding of that subject and its continued legacy.

We, at Cubiko Games, would love for Foundation to reach as many people as possible because it’s such a great game. We hope that the ‘stretch goals’, ’2 x reward‘ tiers and ’voucher codes’ will encourage people to back and share the campaign so that it reaches its full potential.  Then, hopefully, with more backers comes more exposure which, in turn, leads to the ultimate goal..... Foundation gets signed by a leading game manufacturer.

and even though there are plenty of additional characters to unlock, they’re ultimately only cosmetic, providing no real incentive to unlock them all

I intend to live forever. So far, so good. Whenever I think of the past, it brings back so many memories. I think it's wrong that only one company makes the game Monopoly. If it's a penny for your thoughts and you put in your two cents worth, then someone, somewhere is making a penny. What's another word for Thesaurus? I used to work in a fire hydrant factory. You couldn't park anywhere near the place.

Just don’t confuse the league’s latest gimmick as some kind of competitive savior for the slog that is this season’s 72-game slate. The NBA’s new wrinkle is supposed to make the regular-season more intriguing by giving more teams the chance to play meaningful basketball for longer and earn official inclusion into the postseason.

Make in a night what you make in a month (“Erase Your Social”)  — the percussion lands on a cymbal crash aimed at a “you” that is really “us,” the audience, who are invited to voyeuristically watch his performance (wordplay as foreplay), of which the unnamed woman is the desensitized object, but “we” are ultimately the target, the losers in the winner-take-all game of life, the suckers who work for a monthly paycheck who can’t possibly compete with the value the market has bestowed on the speaker.

This is a significant step away from the culture of secure communications. Practitioners participating in what can be called security design collectives will agree that ‘it takes a village to keep a tool secure’ and that security is a continuous ‘cat and mouse game.’ But this culture is lost on the campaign sites.

Work-life balance However, I recently understood that while we were working on the game, I broke the one and only rule I set for the founders of the company: always family first. My wife was expecting our second child and I was working long days at the office, and I became obsessed with making sure the game is as good as possible. The same probably applies to everyone in the team, since we shared love and passion for the franchise.

On iOS, the figures are close to the same except there the game has been for free for a while already.

I just don't understand why a finished episodically released game is still offered episodic.

Factory FunNER is the sequel and a very solid improvement to Factory Fun. It uses hexes instead of squares to allow more creative building, and some subtle improvements to scoring, length, and machine placement rules really improve things.

#2 Non-real-time variant - What about groups who don't like that real-time part of the game? We really think that is the best way to play, but we realize it isn't a fun or even possible option for everyone. We're including an alternative rule that removes all the speed elements and is still fun (in a different way).

Around &Bigger the box is bigger: 75mm high instead of 45mm or so.That was the main reason for the name &Bigger. The first edition does fit in its box but very tight. Because the first factory used bigger cardboard than planned. They told me about this "upgrade" after they produced the game. The thicker tiles (about 2.5mm) did feel good for the game so the &Bigger edition has the same

Only the Starter Kit is available in this reboot. The Starter Kit is FREE, in order to distribute it as widely as possible. This goal of this Kickstarter campaign is to introduce Clash of Deck to the whole word and to bring a community together around the game. If the Kickstarter campaign succeeds, we will then have the necessary dynamic to publish additional paid content on a regular basis, to enrich the game with: stand-alone expansions, additional modules, alternative game modes..

Stretch goals are mainly game quality improvement we will be able to finance thanks to your help. No extension or extra-scenario still to be designed and playtested that could delay the delivery of the games. Just of few goals to make them event better component wise.

I bought this game and hope it will look like Carcassonne.But, my first impression of this lead me to compare this with Go.At the present, I am teaching to anyone that this game is Go with modular board.Yep, Bought this new and Go was my first thought on this, also. Definitely much closer to Go than Carcassonne.

I strongly prefer this over Carcassonne. It plays faster (I don't want a tile laying game to go for more than 30 mins or so) and I happen to like the limited options. Carcassonne just gets on my nerves because I just don't view selecting between so many placement options to be that interesting. Obviously, YMMV. Ditto the previous statement, it's different than Carcassonne. And that's why I like it.

But, my first impression of this lead me to compare this with Go.At the present, I am teaching to anyone that this game is Go with modular board.

Strange that a game published in 2005 that is derivative of a classic would essentially get fired by its predecessor. I fail to see why I would ever play this instead of Carcassonne.

The central decision of the game is when to play your houses. And you didn't even really talk about that.

I enjoy it as a quiet type of game you can play even when you've had a long, tough day. And I don't mind pulling unusable tiles; at least you get to take another one instead of missing your turn. There's just something relaxing about it. After all, lots of people enjoy sitting for hours playing Patience and this is much more entertaining than that.

However, it can be extremely frustrating placing the tiles. Very commonly there will be no position to place a tile in and it will be put to one side. Perhaps someone new to tile-laying games wouldn't find this so odd, but to anyone with experience of Carcassonne it will seem very limiting. In Carcassonne you can pretty much always place a tile, with several choices of position available. Every player I've introduced this game to has looked at me as if to say, "We must be doing something wrong." But no, that game is designed that way. Sometimes it feels like the map builds itself - there is often only one viable placement, so it starts to feel like a jigsaw, searching for that available position. Surely placing a single tile shouldn't be this difficult!

I recently played a prototype of an upcoming game called Bronze. This takes the tile-laying/ territory claiming mechanic and builds on it by adding abilities to each of the tiles. they benefit you in some way if you claim them. The result is a very similar feel to Fjords (competing for a share of the map) but with greater depth.

There is a tendency in short luck-heavy games to require you to play multiple rounds in one sitting, to balance the scores. This is one such game. This multiple-rounds "mechanic" feels like an artificial fix for the problem of luck. Saboteur 1 and 2 advise the same thing because the different roles in the game are not balanced. ("Oh, well. I had the bad luck to draw the Profiteer character this time. Maybe I'll I'll draw a more useful character in round 2.") This doesn't change the fact that you are really playing a series of short unbalanced games. Scores will probably even out... statistically speaking. The Lost Cities card game tries to deal with the luck-problem in the same way.

Every player I've introduced this game to has looked at me as if to say, "We must be doing something wrong." But no, that game is designed that way.

f you cannot place it, it is set aside for use later in the game if an opportunity arises. (Tiles are set aside a lot.)

The developers allowed for players to play their own level of challenge whether it's using the active pause, fast forward or multi-level undo function.

This game is severely underrated. I genuinely do not understand all of the negative backlash it gets. It's a solid scribblenauts game with a ton of replay value and a way to past the time with friends. It's not perfect, as the motion controls do drag it down slightly, and some of the minigames offered are less than great, however it does not deserve the overwhelming hate it gets. It's a solid title in the series.

I truly TRULY do not get the hate of this game. I am in my 40's. Played with 2 boys, 10 and 12. And we all had an amazing time playing the board game version of this for an hour. When it was over, the boys said, LETS PLAY IT AGAIN! The game is deep. Also has original sandbox mode with new levels. When they were about to leave, I surprise them by giving them the game as a gift. They were SO excited (and, I will simply buy another one for myself) I am simply BAFFLED at the hate and negativity for this game. Sure, a couple of the mini-games are not top notch. But there are many great ones within. At $40, solid deal. At $20 sale in most places, you have got to be kidding me. Steal it at that price. If you like Scribblenauts or are new to the Scribblenauts world, just buy it.

The game is lame and the main gimmick of writing stuff is being shat on with the horrendous gameplay. If you have a very unique formula, don't try to change it.

Yes, it shares the name and the look of those previous games, but it lacks the all-important creative heart of its predecessors, and ends up being a by-the-numbers affair that goes through the motions in a shallow attempt to turn Scribblenauts' unique premise into a multiplayer party game.

but it’s an extra feature that adds to a game that would still feel complete without it.

the lack of touchscreen support is an odd omission considering both games previously appeared on 3DS and Wii U,

Constrain ts act as a fil ter o n inten t.

If we are novice players, the rules may be writte n on the back of the box the ch ess set came in. Or they migh t be in a book on a bookshelf behind us. Or they might be d isplayed on a computer screen nearby. T he inte rest-in g thing, though, is that unless we are novice p layers the rules w ill no t be consulted during the game. The rules o f chess are written down in millions of locations around t he world, but when you are actually p laying a game of c h ess those physical manifesta tions of the ru les aren' t a part o f t he process. Wh en you are actually playing a gam e of ch ess, the only rules tha t matter are t he rules in your head

Interactivity is, by definition, active. It's the g ive-and-take between player and rule system. I press a button on my controller and informa-tion is communicated to the game. Th e game updates the image on the screen, feeding information back to me. This new information provides the context for my next move. My actions influence the game and the game influences my actions in an ongoing chain of cause and effect

is taken as a given ,"lithin t he game industry that the major difference between games and other forms of popular entertainment is interactiv-ity. To p lay is to engage in a dialogue-information flows back and forth between p layer and game. With film, literat ure, theater-pretty much everything else- the flow of information is one way only. When you watch a movie or read a book, you aren't engaging in a dialogue; you are listening to a monologue.

Unlike other shooters that emph asize a "run and gun" style of play, the most effective tactic in Rainbow Six is to move through the levels carefully and methodically, much as a real hostage-rescue team does. A second important difference is a "one-shot kill" dam-age model. In contrast with games in which a character can safely absorb dozens of bullets, each of the characters in Rainbow Six can be killed by a single well-placed shot.

T he i mporta n ce of this is hard to overstate. It is customary to think of play-ers an d games as distinct and separate entities. But w hen we ta ke a hard look a t a game such as ch ess, we discover that this d isti n ction is illusory.

But with a videogame, we learn the rules mostly by experimentation.

Think of a chess match in which neither p layer a dvances a pawn to the far side of the board, a n d the rule for pawn pro-motion thus never comes into play.

Or think of a videogame that has a secret level t hat you never u n lock.

But other constraints in the horizon of intent have no external ana-logues. I may avoid doing certain things not because they aren't possible or because they are against the rules, but because I know that they are tacti-cally unwise. I could stand still in the batter's box after getting a hit in base-ball; however, I don't, because t hat would make it easier for an opposing player to tag me out. I could run straight into the maw of a boss during a boss battle; however, I don't, because I know that would get my character killed. My horizon of intent is defined not just by what I believe I can do, but also by what I believe I should do-my internal strategic constraints.

Learning how to play a game is often a matter of internalizing a set of external constraints.

Consider c h ess, for example. The rules of c hess are a fixed set of constra ints.

Different games d raw the boundary between inte rnal and external in different ways

What's the point of playing a game featuring fjords without also including vikings to pillage the other player's lands...I've actually developed two additional tiles for Fjords: The Dragon and The Marauding Hoard. Both do exactly that.(I've play tested them with a friend well over 40 times and we both agree that with an expanded set of Fjords tiles, these two greatly improve the game for us. I'll write the tiles up and post them to BGG... eventually)

you're quite the lucky man. i finally got my wife to agree to play fjords with me last weekend and, after beating me pretty soundly in two straight games, she announced she didn't like the game. turns out she didn't like the puzzle/board-building aspect of the game, the lack of aggressive play ("it would have been better if i could have fire-bombed some of your land") nor all of the 'action' taking place in the last minute or two of the game.drats.

Actually, I think your wife's point is quite astute. Once you become very familiar with this game, there is almost too much deep planning in the moves.

If you'll sell it in the U.S. for less than 3948098 dollars, I'll pre-order. I've been wanting this game for quite a long time.I've got a copy of Fjords, I guess I should list it on the marketplace for 3948097 dollars.Only if you want to get rid of it for such a ridiculously low price!

providing a bespoke game to every backer

As the project goes along, I’ll be posting some blogs about my design process and thinking around the game, and if you’re interested in my writing about games, I have written for both Meeple Mountain and Dicebreaker.

Production regimes are institutional framework conditions for economic activity (Hall and Soskice 2005). They structure the production of goods and services by way of markets and market-related institutions. The “rules of the game” of economic activities—more exactly, the incentives and constraints of economic transactions—will be formulated through an entire ensemble of institutions, in which economic activity is embedded. The single institutions—enterprise financing, managerial education, contractual relationships between enterprises, interorganizational networks, standardization processes, and interenterprise conflict regulation—together form an interlocked system which tends toward self-regulation.

This is a new version of the game and it's actually worse than the one I used to play as a child. Puzzles have been removed, pathfinding is buggier than I remember it to be and you can't aqcuire a specific item at the beginning of the game. It's definitely not worth buying, even for nostalgia's sake.

Could you please elaborate what you mean by this "the libraries used by the game are outdated and incompatible with any visual basic language code post-2007~2010"? Navalia is written in C++ and uses OpenGL for rendering so it has nothing to do with Visual Basic. It needs Visual Studio 2012 Redistribution Package to work, but I have tested the game with Windows 7, 8 and 10 and it works just fine. This package is also automatically installed by Steam. Maybe somehow you don’t have this package? You can install it from Microsofts website.Could you give me the specs of your computer and what windows version are you using?

Unleash your creativity with the innovative Navalia ship editor and bring your creations into battle!

Micromachines always focused on local multiplayer, and the fun their eccentric races of small toy vehicles competing on tracks made with everyday objects; and all that is present.

game that uses the Micro Machines license to try and sucker people in that remember the old games.

I was almost immediately deflated. This is a cut-down reskin of a 3 year old game from the same company.

It's as good as online-only, however with noone actually playing you'll find yourself queueing for bot matches (even having to wait for the "other players" to select their vehicles). You want to just race your mate in a local game- nope! Local races are single-player only (apparently the devs couldn't be bothered with coding a split-screen or zooming camera to enable local multiplayer races). Want to play online but specify the map? Nope! Play a game online with a good lobby and want to stick with that group? Nope! Every game forces you to exit after each event.

Secondly, the difficulty ramps up very quickly - once I'd got a handle on things and started getting in to it, it threw me off that the Novice level 7 is just WAY TOO HARD - it's not a game centered on difficulty so it's not like that's an excuse, nor is this a later on level where you'd except difficulty, but having just 15 seconds to do that lap, that needs to be changed to 20 at least!

Nidhogg 2 is a prime example of how simplicity isn’t always a bad thing

There's probably a thousand different directions you can go, but there just needs to be some kind of deeper hook to make this a full-fledged game.

I like the concept, and I don't want to discourage the developer, but this game is not an alpha. This is a prototype. The game has one functioning game loop right now: gather / farm materials, create potions and either sell them or use them to complete missions (which is basically the same thing). There isn't a goal other than to buy a larger house and a shop. I see he has a roadmap, and it doesn't make any sense to me. It talks about updating the map, adding quests, some kind of helper golem, seasons, other things that seem more like finishing touches. In reality, the developer should be figuring out what kind of game this is supposed to be, testing out new mechanics, and once that's figured out, start over.

Seven minutes into this game and I've already figured out that I'm also one of the monkeys. How meta.

With absolutely no means of saving progression in this game I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone would give this game a positive review. It could have been a decent enough game for the genre, however unless you have all day to dedicate to completing the game in one sitting, avoid.

I was going to give this a good review, then I went and read the other reviews about the game not saving. I thought to myself, surely not! This must some sort of smear campaign against the fine developers at jemchicomac?!? Alas, it is my duty to report that there is indeed no save functionality in this game. Tis a pity.

Alright, let me get this straight: the developer decided to create a game that's 60 levels long, which is 5 worlds each with 12 levels, and didn't implement a save feature? We are in a time where save features are a high need for a game. If anything, for a long game, they'd have passcodes, but we're past those times now, so a save feature is what one would expect in a game. Why does the developer ignore the players who want a save feature? I saw in the discussions that what looked like a parent/guardian bought this game specifically for their kids to play. Do you think the kids will be able to play a game like this and complete it in one sitting? No, I don't think so. Those poor kids are now stuck with a game where they won't feel any accomplishment with because they have to restart every time.

The game save doesnt work, what is the point in playing something with so many levels if you cant and never will reach the end of it, unless you dont turn of your pc/game for days till you pass all the levels.

Despite being a nice game... no saving progress kills it.

Precisely. There are also more technical criticisms to be made here, beyond the scope of what we can reasonably get into. Suffice it to say cryptocurrencies are normally implemented today through one of two kinds of lottery systems, called “proof of work” and “proof of stake,” which are a sort of necessary evil arising from how they secure their systems against attack. Neither is great. “Proof of work” rewards those who can afford the most infrastructure and consume the most energy, which is destructive and slants the game in favor of the rich. “Proof of stake” tries to cut out the environmental harm by just giving up and handing the rich the reward directly, and hoping their limitl

Viewing illness as a personal failing is not only morally misguided; it’s also damaging from a public health perspective. Many people don’t want to find out if they are infected, even if they are sick, because they worry that others will wonder what they did “wrong.” Some who are infected even hide their status, for fear that those they’ve been near will be angry at them for putting them at risk.Such fears are entirely rational. Lots of people get angry when they find themselves infected with the coronavirus, wanting to know which person they came into contact with is to blame.We don’t play this “blame game” with influenza, even when it’s an especially bad flu season. But we are doing it with Covid-19

What I dislike from the achievements is the "Dialogue Skipper". I really don't like it because you are encouraging people just to skim or even skip it at all and not get interested with the story. I earned this achievement on a 2nd run but I had a friend who just skipped it all on her 1st try.What devs should encourage is for the gamers to have a lot of playing time on their game so they would recommend it to others and not just do it for the cards and uninstalling it afterwards.

Even with knowing that the series would not be going anywhere, I still bought the game and completed it. (Honestly, because I feel like I need to play everything in the genre ...)

Even with an ever-changing rulebook, moderators are granted only the slimmest margins of error.

Because once you fall below 95, your job is at risk.

Game time, the opposing team calls the play that Maud put the fierce kaput on in practice, and beneath a metal-halide glare that’s also a gauntlet, Maud barrels towards the running back and—BOOM!—lays a hit that sounds like trucks colliding.

Most of the projects here are the kind that might be fun to make but shortly end up in the trash (like: animals made out of toilet paper tubes, a Paper plate ring toss game, A necklace made of colored plastic straws...)

HumanitarianNGOs increasingly depend on the corporate sector and on ‘playing the media’s game’ fortheir income

This looks and feels like an Unreal Engine asset flip, where they slapped together a bunch of assets from the Unreal store and tried to call it their own game. Many of the game assets are very low quality. It's buggy and incomplete. That didn't stop the shady devs or their publishers from selling this in game bundles as a complete product. Extremely dodgy behavior there! Regardless, the (terrible) quality of this "game" speaks for itself. Impossible to recommend.

Everything about this game is as simple as possible, down to the three main leads, their conversations, and even the plot—it may sound super exciting to go on an expedition under the ruins of a temple to find some ancient advanced machinery; but in reality, the whole thing is like a longer Saturday morning cartoon episode.

I would love to ask devs what the ****. It used to be a not bad puzzler with crappy movement, but it had to be at least a bit interesting if my Steam counter shows 5 hours. Now it is a crap.There is nothing left from the previous version - except the fact that the main character is a robot. Earlier the game looked like a bad retro, and now it looks like sweet flood. The robot moves extremely slowly now and, what's worse, it seems that it has the same levels as a game that used to be called "Abrix for kids".Achievements were reset and the new ones are broken, so it is enough to make a step to achieve 1000 steps, move a block one to get a 1000 moved blocks achievement and same with destroying blocks. I think it is even better this way. No one has to play it more than few minutes.It is sad what happened with Abrix. Avoid it.

There is a bare-bones attempt at a game, and they've really tried milking this cash cow as there are multiple variations from the basic game engine they've established. I don't find the game to be interesting, fun, engaging, or enjoyable. I suppose it did generate one solid puzzle for me though. How does it have anything other than negative as its overall review score?

Rather than rewarding the player for discovering a well-thought-out or ideal solution (by picking up coins), the developer tacked on a timer to a game with non-fluid controls. The player feels rushed to discover an elaborate solution.

These lazy and/or idiotic hacks uploaded the exact same game to Steam THREE TIMES, charging separately for each, and including microtransactions in each. This appears to be a botched attempt at content tiers, but they all have the same number of levels, which makes this the premium version for true Abrix fans! They even threw in some one time use powerups AND six achievements instead of one, so you really get your moneys worth.

It's really kind of sad that I want to play the game and form a better opinion of it and I can't because I have to wait for lives to regenerate.

Due to player actions not landing on the beat or being relevant to the background music, this 'rhythm' game falls short of it's goals. No feedback for early or late actions also diminishes the game.

Piano Cat is a challenging rhythm-based platformer game where you [...] jump to the beat [...].No, no, no, just no. This game has nothing to do with rhythm or doing something in sync to the music. If you try to do that, you will fail, a lot. In order to beat the stages you have to mute or ignore the music, ignore the obstacles and only look out for the buttons you have to press. When they light up green, you press the button. This means that you have to press them always too early to the action, ahead of time. If you try to time it to the music, it will be too late and not count. If you are good in these kind of games, this will totally throw you off here.The graphic are nice, the music is ok, but it does a terrible job in having rhythm based gameplay.

incredible art style and intriguing combat. While I was not wrong about the aesthetic

I can’t say Incredible Mandy is a bad game per se, but it is underwhelming and less than the sum of its parts

nothing about the game is really offensive, but there’s just no hook that managed to keep me invested up to the end.

list of achievements does give you more incentive to replay the adventure if you're interested in that sort of thing.

These memories are the main collectible, along with Zelda-esque health upgrades that afford you extra "heart containers."

Incredible Mandy is not bad, it’s just also not good. It just kind of is.

Incredible Mandy is a great example of design by subtraction, focusing on puzzle-solving and atmosphere and eschewing mechanics which do not contribute to the developer’s singular vision.

Taken as a whole it disappoints, which is a shame as, beneath the adorable exterior, the concept has far more potential than what has been achieved.

Ultimately, Shelter Generations relies on your capacity to dig into its subtleties. On that overt level it's an obtuse and obviously indie game, and it's really quite demanding of the player; it asks them to figure their own way through the game, and it asks them to really commit to an emotional connection to these hopeless little cubs.

MMOSG (massively multiplayer online simulation game)

Good game with some place for improvements. It has potential.

This is a good game, but it has potential to become an even greater game.

While the mechanics in this game are more varied than the first Zup!-game

The game implements new mechanics gradually, like magnets, trampolines and wreckingballs.

The game consist of many unique elements like a switchable fireball gun / laser switcher, time turning platforms, rotating / sequential lasers, floating ball shooting enemies, wall of death.

The game has been on sale for a year, but sales have been dismal.

this game is purely amateur production, material selection and creation is not professional, just hope you can like this story.

Playing the game reminds me of when Han Solo has to maneuver in an asteroid field and C3PO says "Sir, the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately 3,720 to 1!"

Paws what you're doing and play this game right meow.

We haven’t imported this board game before. Typically there are customs hurdles the first time cargo clear customs officers. While we have extensively planned around these delays and have budgeted for them extensively in our milestones tracker, the fact remains that customs remains unpredictable.

Enter 2020: Matt and Jordan managed to scrape together some illustrations for playtesting, but they weren’t up to the bar of a production game. Fortunately, we connected through friends with Jaehee, and she cautiously listened to the pitch for the game. Once she decided to join the team, the artwork and designs quality improved by orders of magnitude, to the point where we had an experience we felt was worthwhile sharing publicly.

The players plot to get the cards to yellow on player G's turn so he can lay down some Double Draw cards...
