This month was pretty good, as I got quite a few games done!

Lake: A slice-of-life game in which you take a vacation from your stressful programming job in the big city to take over the post delivery job from your dad and deliver letters and parcels in your small, pituresque hometown. I felt like this premise did not make much sense xD. You meet some town characters and can romance two people. Your car radio plays like three different songs on repeat which quickly becomes a bit annoying. Many people seem to like the game, judging from the reviews and while it wasn’t entirely bad, it was not my cup of tea.
Open World Game: The Open World Game: It’s a parody on open word games in which you basically move around the map to collect everything there is to collect. The thing is: I had fun so I guess I am kind of a sucker when it comes to these kinds of collecting/completionist-mechanics… who would have guessed?
Gorcs Forge: Really short, bad resource management game. It actually has achievements, I don’t know why they aren’t shown on BLAEO. Some of them are nearly impossible, since the game is kind of bugged. So I decided that I am done with one playthrough.
Devious Dungeon: A simple and short rogue-like platformer. Good timewaster for an afternoon when you don’t want to think too much!
The Secret Order 7: Second to last entry of this HOG/puzzle series. If you know one of the games, you kind of know them all, but I was entertained for the duration of the game!
Omno: A short exploration/light puzzle game. I had fun playing and liked the atmosphere and the ending :)
Cell to Singularity: Finally completed one of my incrementals. This one has evolution as a topic and is quite educational if you read the texts. The mechanics are very simple, so there wasn’t much decision-making or thinking required :D
Cattails: A harvest moon-like game in which you play a cat, so of course I liked it! I am still not completely done with the game, but I have finished the main quest (which could have been a little longer in my opinion).
Pewt ‘em up!: Free space invader clone. I finished a complete playthrough, but still have some achievements and a harder playthrough, plus an endless mode to go through!

That’s it from me, hope you all have a lovely summer!
