Such a fun little thing to have running while you're busy doing other stuff! I set it up while I worked and found myself really looking forward to what I could do for My Little Guys the next time I took a break. Fantastic for periodic quick breaks throughout your day while doing other things.

Murder by Numbers is a solid puzzle game with a good (if formulaic) story driven by likeable characters and fun nonograms. The music is very good, although sometimes during a puzzle, the song that plays won't really match the mood of a scene. Overall, the balance between puzzles and story is well-struck, though in the fourth chapter it can get a little puzzle-heavy. My biggest problem with the puzzles was that, for most of them, I had no idea what the picture behind the puzzle was, frequently even after the solution had been colored in. That being said, the puzzles were interesting in their composition, so it didn't usually bother me.

If you like nonograms and murder mystery stories, I'd definitely recommend Murder by Numbers.

Lone Fungus is one of the biggest, most fun Metroidvanias out there, and it's not even done yet! Movement is very tight and feels great, the challenges are well put-together, and the myriad bosses are all exciting and fun to fight. There's even an "assist mode" if you want less of a challenge! Overall, I highly recommend Lone Fungus!

A fantastic Metroidvania, on par with the greats of the genre! The atmosphere is great, combat feels smooth, there are plenty of wonderful areas to explore, and the art is a genuine treat. Highly recommend!

VVVVVVery good

Heat Signature is really fun to play; combat is both fun and frequently amusing, and while the nature of the game means death can be an annoyance, I rarely had a problem with it. I really wish there were more of a narrative to drive more gameplay, however; I felt like I burned out kind of early on this because it felt like I was just screwing around and not accomplishing anything (in the game, I mean; I'm used to that feeling in day-to-day life).

One of the greatest indie Metroidvanias of all time. Combat is a genuine delight, and it's taken nearly a decade for the graphics to start to feel dated. The backgrounds especially hold up exceptionally well. Admittedly the story isn't a huge draw, but I didn't find it bad enough to be a deterrent to play, either. Get this game!

It's exactly what was promised: a very well-executed Castlevania-type game.

Honestly it's best if you go into this game with no knowledge of anything inside. It's pretty short, so I'd recommend not using a guide for 100% completion the first time around so you can avoid spoilers.

It's a clever little puzzle vignette that you may want to wait for a sale for, but that you'll almost certainly enjoy.

Honestly, it's been ages that a game made me feel like such a badass while playing, while still actually making me try at it. I loved it.
