This puzzle game has been a very pleasant surprise to me. It really delivers exploiting the possibilities of implementing fractals in sokoban-like puzzle games.

At first I thought there was not much more to the mechanics that are introduced while you advance through the first 3-4 worlds but the game keeps introducing new tweaks and combining them with the known ones, resulting in complex and interesting puzzles.

Strongly recommended specially if you are into puzzle games, it's a breath of fresh air.

One of those gems I love, simple enough to learn easily and enjoy but hard to master and get a place in its leaderboards.
Check the gameplay to get an idea of how fun it can be and don't miss it if you are into this kind of action games.
Also the game went unnoticed, so here's a well deserved positive review for a heads-up.

The best 'walking simulator' I have ever played.

It's one of those games made with care and affection, the developers paid attention to every detail: the story, graphics, music, ambience, even the game credits are a work of art. Each inner story is shown and played in different and original ways which immerses you in them and makes the game entertaining.

It's very short (2-3h.) but very high quality too.

Oh no, another underestimated indie gem! I really don't know why this kind of games don't get the attention they deserve. Is it the puzzles? Is it the price? Maybe the lack of promotion?

This game combines design, puzzle and action elements in a great way and physics work wonderfully. In each level you have to design a robot in such a way that you can overcome the obstacles and reach the end. There are many ways to do it and when you come up with your own solution it feels great and rewarding. There is enough content to keep you busy for many hours and you can experiment and let your imagination fly with the sandbox mode.

What do I miss and what could be better? I found the human mode and the plot useless/uninteresting, but above all I miss leaderboards for each level that would give this game a competitive edge and probably more players. I'm thinking about 2 category leaderboards for each level: best times and least elements used for a successful design. Also if it had a workshop feature to create and share levels it would be amazing.

All in all, a fantastic physics based design/puzzle/action game that I strongly recommend.

This is how you revamp a classic franchise.

All the gameplay features, enemies, weapons and atmosphere that made the classic so great are present here but updated to what you'd expect from a modern FPS. Besides, it has a few features that make it outstanding:
- A proper multiplayer with many game modes.
- A level editor to create and share levels.
- Demon rooms / play as a demon (multiplayer).
- Glory kills: spectacular killing animations you can perform on weakened enemies, it works so well I'm sure we'll see this feature in many future FPS.

The only downside I found is that they had planned a few DLC and a season pass worth $40 since day one, something that has become too common in recent AAA games unfortunately. You get a complete and good experience without DLCs though as they are focused on multiplayer.

All in all, I enjoyed it from start to end and had a lot of fun playing multiplayer too.

This should have been a short film.
As a videogame it lacks gameplay, no actual choices, you just click here and there to make progress through the film.
I expected more from this game, turned out to be very short and linear.
The price tag is also out of place and it's misleading as you'd expect more content and gameplay features from a $20 game.

On the positive side, the story, the acting and the setting are fine but overall it just doesn't work as a videogame.

Good game! You shouldn't miss this if you are into first person puzzle games.

Even though it's not as big or ambitious as Portal 2 or The Talos Principle (it's heavily inspired by them), this game is a nice contribution to the genre, with it's own mechanics and intriguing story. Some of the similarities with the mentioned games are: instead of the light beams from Talos, you open doors with energy balls that you capture and fire with your gun; it's structured in small tests one after another; the story has to do with artificial intelligence, philosophical questions about what it means to be human, etc.

All in all, a very good game that could be even better if it had more challenges and a workshop feature with a level editor to create and share levels (like in Portal 2). It would be awesome if the developers made it bigger, and I hope the game is successful enough for them to consider implementing those features.

I really enjoyed this programming simulator and I recommend it to anyone (except to, maybe, actual programmers :P).

It works because they keep it simple, with a user friendly interface and an appropriate learning curve.

It will make you think, debug and improve. Sometimes you will feel frustrated but also very rewarded when you get to solve a problem your own.

There is even challenge for the 'experts', as in each task there are goals regarding iterations and number of instructions to optimize code.

The most complicated task might bee too hard for people who have never been into programming before, but you can always look for help or solutions in the forums or the Internet.

One of the things I don't like about it is that, as many have mentioned, it doesn't support Steam Cloud, which would be great to save your code. I hope they'll implement it eventually. Also I miss more game modes (like with different instruction sets), leaderboards and even a Workshop implementation where users could create tasks that others download and try to solve.

All in all, a pleasant surprise that made me look for similar games that have to do with programming.

I strongly recommend this free game, it's a high quality cards/strategy game with some RPG elements that offers a lot of content for free.

It's not pay to win, you can pay to get some extra stuff like costumes, more challenges or some loot when you open chests but it doesn't give you any advantage against other players (well, you might collect some useful items a bit faster, that's all). I decided to pay (I got the Basic Edition) after 30 hours of gameplay and not because I need it but because I feel the developers really deserve it for this awesome game and I think I'll keep playing it for many more hours.

Besides the long solo campaign it offers a great multiplayer experience with a simple but effective automatic matching system and a rating that gets updated after each battle. There are also leagues with different game modes.

All in all, a fantastic free game that shouldn't go without notice.

This game succeeds in so many ways it deserves to be declared a MASTERPIECE.

First of all, you'll find how a very simple idea is fully developed and leads to complex but extremely fun gameplay. It's ideal for both the casual player who is looking for some laughing fun and the expert who wants to compete beating scores on the leaderboards.

It offers several game modes for both single player and multiplayer (online and local coop) where you face very different challenges (highest climb, longest run, collect coins, etc.) by controlling the sticky body.

The aesthetics are remarkable but the heads and bodies are customizable and there is even a 'safe for work' mode in case you find the original skins a bit too spicy ;)

Play multiplayer to split your sides, learn some techniques and make a fool of yourself; or play single player to practice or compete on the leaderboards. As it's physics based, there is always room for improvement, you never master it completely.

This is one of those games for a lifetime (and it's only $5 !!).
