It’s a sandbox simulator where you can farm, gather and craft stuff on a round planet so small, I could run around it in a minute or two. Deilandĭeveloper: Chibig | Released: 2018 | Genre: Simulator, Sandbox A few years ago I might even have completed it. But other than that, it was cute and I actually quite liked it.
I can see how that might make the game frustrating later. I probably should have tried a few more levels, but I wasn’t too fond of starting all over from scratch whenever I died in a level.
I only tried the first six levels across two trees on a hub screen. Using the mouse cursor to move a rectangle, I could take pictures to “suck away” an object (typically a box) and then click somewhere else to dump it there. Collect stars, jump across spikes, climb ledge if jump is high. I controlled a cute robot in small side-scrolling levels where the gimmick was to take pictures.Īpart from taking pictures, the game seemed to be very simple and straightforward. This was a puzzle platform game with a graphical style no doubt inspired by the excellent Braid. Most of them were personal, but there were also questions about whether I noticed hidden messages like certain letters spelling certain words, or that I was being watched.ĭeveloper: Retro Affect | Released: 2012 | Genre: Platform, Puzzle I was asked to answer all of the questions truthfully, and I believe I did.

The game was actually just one pixelated RPG-style screen, some fittingly gloomy music, and a series of questions delivered in typical visual novel style. I believe the scenery in my game was more bloody than this. It was very short – I completed it in 23 minutes – and because of it being so small and simple, I decided to still put it in this blog post. However, this game is one I stumbled over on the front page of Steam today and immediately bought because it looked so fascinating. Part of the reason I do this series of short sessions is not only to post about games I decide to abandon, but also to empty my backlog. The Testĭeveloper: Randumb Studios | Released: 2020 | Genre: Visual Novel, Retro The Magic Circle felt more like random banter among game developers – the wrong kind where I wanted them to stop blathering so I could move on. It was perhaps better paced and grabbed me way better from the beginning. I think the same idea worked really well in The Beginner’s Guide which I completed a while back. Somehow, the unfinished style talking about the game itself didn’t work for me here. The abundance of dialog about why stuff was missing in the game felt more pretentious than funny, and the editing of objects was too convoluted for my liking.
I had a map for fast traveling, I could throw objects in a visual arc, and I could collect allies and set waypoints.īut shortly after finding the stone NPC in a hibernation container, I just couldn’t muster it any longer. I got various weird abilities such as being able to fill ghostly objects, suck cracks dry for life, and trap monsters in a circle on the ground for editing. The game had a hatched style to begin with, but later transitioned into a pixelated section that resembled the first System Shock quite a lot. Later a stone face NPC was leading the way to a “pro mode” where I could edit objects and change their properties. It had game developers popping up as floating “god” eyes, talking to me and to each other about what was missing in the game. It was sort of a game development meta game in first person mode.
