This is a traditional spaceship arcade bullet hell game that surprisingly I quite enjoyed. The biggest problem I have with bullet hell is visual mess where I don't know what the hell is going on on the screen and in a blink of an eye I won't be able to find my playable character, but for this game it has simple backgrounds and quite easy to see bullets. The enemies are also quite fun to beat, especially the bosses. I do want to say that the homing rockets are just too powerful. lol I had no trouble with the game once I got final upgrade of the rockets which is I believe the third or fourth upgrade? But going back to beat the game multiple times to get the other upgrades to max for the achievements is quite tedious tho.

This game is so freaking good!!! It's one of those "just one more day" kinda game where it's so hard to put down cuz the main gameplay loop is so addicting, and the surprising thing is there's so many different things in the game, whether mechanics or depth or content, and yet it has this charm and passion that you find in indie games. It really is a triple AAA kinda indie game feeling(even tho let's be honestly, it's made by Nexon so it is not really an indie game per say). And a lot of the different mechanics either complements the core gameplay loop so well(the fishing->management gameplay loop) or is a fun one time gimmick borrowed from other games that doesn't overstay its welcome, and also the fact that major features gradually unlock that adds to the core gameplay loop just makes everything fresh and fun, like how the farms unlock later on. It's genius really. I highly recommend the game, grab it full price even cuz it's so worth it. And also be warned that the Godzilla free DLC is not gonna be available at the end of November I believe? So if you're interested, grab it early. That's a large reason why I bought this game in the first place. :P And I don't regret it.

Wishlisted this ages ago because of Monstercat music being in the game, and bought it because of the rhythm game fest. It's a bit hard to wrap my head around the mechanics at first but after getting used to it more I had a lot of fun, tho it is kinda hurting my hand a little bit for some reason. ^^; Will probably play a bit more, but won't push myself on it, if I stop having fun I'll drop it.

Thanks to Amitte for convincing me on giving this another try and saving it from Won't Play pile. I initially find the game to be rather boring, being that the core gameplay loop is only using the pressure washer to remove filth. I think the gameplay just didn't click for me or I wasn't in the right mood to play it, especially comparing to games like Viscera Cleanup Detail or Crime Scene Cleaner which has a lot more mechanics. Also a big factor is getting motion sickness after playing for a while. But trying to mainly use the lock camera option to clean while going back in with a more dynamic map that is the santa map made me get it? I find sitting in a place and just pan my camera around to clean where I can see to be really fun, and the "shadows" of dirt left by the fixed position also makes me giggle for some reason. x3 So yeah, I'll definitely be finishing all the bonus maps, and potentially buying the DLCs later.

This game is awesome!! You are a house kitty that's been spooked and fell down from your home high up to the ground, and you must find a way back home. It is a game with a general main quest and several small side quests, and a bunch of tasks of you being a naughty and mischievous cat. :P It's got a wholesome main story which actually got me a bit emotional when kitty finally returned home, and the side quests are great as well. And funnily enough it gives me a bit of metroidvania feeling with getting more vine climbing powers to get to new paths, and unlocking shortcuts so the map eventually links up together neatly. The also knows its audience, with multiple unlockable hats that you can have the kitty wear, and multiple poses that you can obtain from side quests/meeting random cats. x3 The only negative I have for the game is the auto-jump down when near a ledge feature. It is so frustrating to need to line up a long jump but didn't stop movement earlier so the cat just jumps down the platform instead, and having to go all the way back to the same spot only to do that same thing again. >.< Is it so hard to only have the "press b to jump down from ledge when near it" option and not auto-jump it?

This is kinda a bad game, but I actually kinda like the story? Until it ruined itself.

With no sounds or music at all, and no dialogue, I had to resort to a guide after clicking aimlessly for a while. The game follows a boy with a hoodie that lives on a house as a small island. The world seem to be flooded and it's all ocean. We can fish, and water plants, and go down undersea wearing a diving suit. You progress by catching all fish, going undersea and touching bubbles to get flashbacks. Tbh I wasn't too clear on what happened from the flashback, something about people chopping down a big tree and then sea level rises and flooded the land, or is it land shattering and falling undersea? Idk. lol But the gist of it is the parents of the boy died undersea, and you go to various places with past memories, until you retrieve a seed. Planting the seed a flower blooms and you gift the flower to the neighbor girl. And we go back undersea again to where the final bubble fell even deeper when the floor it's on collapsed. Now you have 2 choices here, you can either go back up and gift a comb to the girl and live a new life with her, or you can jump down and chase the bubble. The presentation of the chasing the bubble is actually really well done, when you sink and sink through endless water, fishes, jellyfishes until your helmet cracks and you arrive at the bottom of the ocean. I really thought the boy died here when the helmet cracked and he struggled for a while, and then no movement afterwards, and that kinda touched me. But then we can still move to get the memories(yes there's actually multiple) which I thought was the final moments of him. And here I'm thinking they should have dropped bubbles on him as he descends, almost like a last look back of his life instead of making us have to reach for the bubbles since it would be much more emotionally impactful for him to die at the end when he reached the final one, but.....the dev decided to fucking use magic to save him wtf. The girl somehow sensed it happening, moved to grab the comb and cried, and then there's this lighting filled antenna thing undersea right beside the boy and you move him to it(even tho he should be dead by now, hello he's got a cracked helmet??) and then he's miraculously saved -.- It's so lame, and I liked the story as well.

Bought it at launch cuz of the demo and it's amazing!! Actually clocked like, 10 hours day 1 of game release since I just couldn't put it down. x3 It is basically Viscera Cleanup Detail with more tools, some QOL and also less potential to make a mess yourself, which is kinda good but also kinda a shame. xD Cuz I really love the fact that you can make it much worse very easily in Viscera, and this game it's basically really hard to do unless you intentionally do it. It also has kinda a storyline that's honestly bland and meh. lol But that doesn't matter anyways since we're here to clean stuff. The main character also throws cold one-liner jokes from time to time which is also meh. xD What matters is the gameplay, and the game excels at that so I'd recommend it to anyone that likes Viscera Cleanup Detail. :3

I don't understand this game, or more specifically, the story it's trying to tell, because it's a point and click game so the important selling point of it is the story. But every single characters are insufferable assholes, especially the two characters you control, so that just makes me honestly not care at all about what happens to them. And every action in the game takes so long, especially ones with long drawn out and shitty animations, so I was bored out of my mind playing through it. There's also the fact that there's a lot of stupid illogical steps required, and after wandering around aimlessly for literally the start of the fucking game I opted to use a guide. lol Which is the smartest I'd say since a lot of the steps got me going "wtf I would've never gotten this on my own". And the ending, my god the ending what the actual fuck. The detective dies, and the thief just gets beaten up in prison, and the murderer and his lackey just gets to walk away free!? What the hell kinda story is that??? The only single enjoyment I got out of this game is a random thought of shipping the detective and thief together in a hate fuck kinda way. xDD Idk, just a thought and it could be fun~At least in my mind it's way better of a story than whatever this game's trying to tell in the end.

I finally finished the main story of this game woohoo! It took a long time, but honestly it's an amazing game. It's more me not being able to start runs over and over really. The design of the game having story progressions progressively is awesome and helpful in getting the basics down, but further more it requires a bit more assistance/repetitiveness which I happen to lack. I still love the game tho, for its amazing visuals and story and music, but the method I play it in is inherently going to have a disconnect in stories, and I'm ok with that.

Ayo I wrote the first part drunk outta my mind the night I finished it. xDD I was just doing a few casual runs(surprised that I actually got through 2 runs all the way in my drunken state lol) and boom outta no where Hades lets me go and I got to the end! Neato. Love the game, and yeah everything I said was true since I haven't played the game for a few months, so it's kinda a disconnection there for me. Still I would highly recommend it!

I think I can call this beaten since I got all the spirits. :3 This is a productivity "game" featuring a bunch of lofi music, and you can also put various background sounds on top of the music like rain, thunder, fire crackling etc. In this you can make your avatar do various things like reading or knitting in places in the room. And by doing specific things in specific locations and waiting for a while, you have a chance to find spirits that can become your companion. Everything is purely cosmetic tho and the only "gamey" part is you have levels and xp, and also currency(from leveling up/daily missions) to buy cosmetic.

I quite like this game purely because it's chill and cute, and also because I've made my avatar into the character I simp for and it melts my heart every time I see him just hang around the room doing casual stuff. :D However in terms of actual tools that the game offers, it's quite lacking compared to the productivity apps I've used before. You have a todo list with checkboxes but there's no sub-todo under a big-todo which would be extremely helpful, so you just have to divide your tasks down with multiple entries. A habit tracker with only daily check-boxes and no way to set x times per week, and repeatable timer with break time in between which is nice. Tho for me the time's up SFX is too quiet so I would often miss it if I'm not paying attention. lol There's also a journal that I didn't use since I already have a journal app I use on my phone, but it's one with a handful of topics to select from, and then just a place to write stuff, not much else. I think the only unique/great thing about this game is the adding background sounds and also how you can adjust how loud each sound is on a slider, everything else is a tad lackluster.

The devs are planning on updating the game further in the future including productivity app improvements, but they're focusing on cosmetics first which...idk. xD I also don't particularly like the fact that the game is not in early access and yet it seems like it's treated as such. Despite all that, I still like it! Might've be because I got it from a bundle? If I bought it I probably would be disappointed.

This game is scary man. The first day I started it after dinner at 7PM, the next time I checked the clock it was 12AM and I was just like "What, where am I, how did the time pass so quickly??". The next day when I played it, I just can't seem to put it down and kept being like "Just a bit more, just gonna play a bit more." and well....I basically pulled an all-nighter playing it. lol Barely made myself stop when sunlight shined through the curtain at 5AM and I just scrambled to bed for 3 hours before having to wake up for work.

I feel like this game is perfectly engineered to tickle my monkey brain and I loved it. xD You always have something to do whether crafting things, clicking on resources or collect items from collectors. You always have something to work towards whether it's expanding a new island, researching new tech, crafting new equipments or fullfilling bundle items. And the thing I love the most is the movement. You start with the ability to wall climb anything which is awesome, and then later on you will unlock multiple jumps, a dash ability and jumping rings that boost your height greatly, and it all just goes hand in hand smoothly that zooming between islands is actually so fun. The vague story actually scarily fits into the fact that I got addicted to the game so much, which is really fun. :P There's also accessibility settings like hold to click or even auto-click option which helped tremendously. Highly recommend. :3

It's a HOG, a bad one at that. Bad voice acting(protagonist actually sounds very robotic), boring story and bad gameplay. The worst is there's some HOG scenes that have the items behind other items that are barely visible, or in one case it's behind an one-time interactible so it's just totally not visible. Had to look up a video guide for that one, which is just a big no-no for HOGs, having an object be like that. Did not enjoy this one, and idk why I decided to stay up and finish this in one setting but I did. lol

Discovered this game thanks to damianea103's post and bought it during summer sale. It's such a charming and cute game with an endearing story that got me emotional quite a few times, thanks to the voice actor's wonderful performances! Also, even tho it's kinda inappropriate for me to think that given what happened to Joseph's wife, but he's a hot dilf. xDDD His voice is just so deep and voice that I swoon for him whenever I see him. *huehue*

During the restoration gameplay, every gives a satisfying sound and it comes together well. The only things I don't like are the forced perspective change when you unscrew some of the screws which is particularly annoying on the music box stage, and some hitbox problems since sometimes I'll try to rotate the piece yet accidentally unattach something/put the piece down.

Finally completed the game. :3 Completed as in "got all achievements" not "exhausted everything there is" since that would take years. This is basically Crush Crush but with man, and idk, I didn't like it as much as Crush Crush? Which I feel like mostly is because I'm a bit over idle/clicker games. :P Maybe cuz I got older and felt they're a waste of time with little return. Compared to Crush Crush this one actually has a QOL feature that's bundled with a guy, so I spent some money to get that which I'd say improved the soft reset quite a lot. But still, it takes a long long to do stuff and it's really boring...

Seen this game from a stream and it looks just like Viscera Cleanup Detail which I looooooove, and it's a free demo so decided to play it myself, turns out I was exactly right. It's basically Viscera Cleanup Detail plus a little bit of Thief Simulator where you can steal cash and jewelry from the crime scene, and it's awesome! I enjoyed going through the place methodically cleaning out every bit of blood, picking up all the garbage and putting back all the furniture. It even has QOL features that Viscera didn't have, like bulk picking up trash and highlighting dirty spots, while it added different forms of cleaning depending on surfaces. I will definitely be buying it when it comes out, and I recommend everyone to play the demo and see if you like it~It's free, so why not? :3

Won this recently and decided to play it on a whim. It's an idler with the currency of carrots and there's a bunch of rabbit people. xD I kinda like it honestly, cuz it doesn't take too much to "play" it. The only thing(well, 2 things) is the platforming section is very frustrating(why's there a platforming section in an idler game and ughhh the controls suck), and also it's those type of "idle to get drops" game.

Picked 2 puzzle games for pagywosg since I'm just kinda in the mood for that(the other one is sudoku universe which I've beaten but wanna play slower at my own pace). This one tho is a bit meh for me. There's moments that I enjoyed, but ultimately these "click one tile and everything around it flips" puzzles are not my thing. I've always had problem with them in HOGs, and I've had problems with them here where I kinda just, my brain doesn't think and just clicks tiles, hoping it works? xD And then get frustrated when I'm just doing the same motions and it's not working. lol

Really weird, walking simulator. I was simultaneous intrigued and bored and felt like I'm getting hypnotized or something. xD I took quite some pics here.

I was annoyed by the invisible walls like on world 3 where I couldn't reach the big sun, world 4 where I couldn't get to the gateway looking place and the staircase at the distance in world 9. I did manage to get inside the building and avoid the invisible wall on world 5 since the building doesn't have collision, so got to practically the highest point. :3

world 4 is my favorite because of the platforms that I can jump on. Wish there's more throughout the worlds on the side of buildings so I can get an overview of the place.
world 5's blinding white of the terrain hurts my eyes.
world 7 music actively hurts my ears with the static sounds and noise.
world 8 is a fucking, horror game I swear. Even tho it's like, not that scary visually the music just made me feel like there's an invisible monster chasing me especially with my backing away from the red platform and the music getting coincidentally quieter, then starting to get louder again just made me feel like the monster's catching up and I hate that, but also feels like it's good in a, it's a good atmosphere way? I really don't like horror games tho so I strongly dislike that.

There's also an inventory with a collection display, and there's various 2d sprites throughout the trip world, but I can't seem to collect them(tried with all keys on my keyboard) and people on the forum couldn't figure it out either so that's something. I at least screenshotted the ones I saw so "collected" them? :P

A super fun puzzle game! It works kinda like a nonogram but with individual cells? Where there's numbers indicating what the row's dots amount is, and you have to try to match them. The max dots that you can input in a single cell is 3, and there's various special cells that have their own rules. The most enjoyable thing about the game for me is, it almost doesn't require too much pre-thinking? Like, I really enjoy puzzle games, but only the ones that doesn't need me to wreck my brain a whole ton before making any progress or just straight up solving. The ones I like the most are either can be solved by trial and error and a little bit of thinking, or some thinking amounts to small progress that accumulate into the final result. And the main part of this game is entirely the former which I loved, with making progress on one spot and everything else just clicks into place. Only the special stages require quite a lot more thinking and has the possibility of making one mistake and resulting in just me being confused at where I made the mistake. xD Kinda like how I am with harder sudoku puzzles, just sometimes having to restart entirely cuz of that. :P

A reflect based game that I randomly decided to try out. It's, ok I guess? Basically there's souls flying towards your retical area and based on the color of the soul you either press up if it's a good soul to send to heaven, down if it's a bad soul to send to hell and let pass through if it's neutral. A pretty ok passtime that I originally planned on playing to completion(since it's just accumulative upgrades so not really skill based) but the chromatic aberration effect is too hard on my eyes, and even tho the dev made a thread in the forum on how to get rid of it I can't seem to get it figured out? Dev said to write something, but typing the words out in-game doesn't work, there's no place to input anything, and putting that text in steam launch options doesn't work either, so I just decided to call this beaten. :P Been dropping games that I no longer enjoy more and it's a freeing feeling, to not push myself, since life is too short to spend more on things I don't really like. :3

Gone back to sg and started winning games again, but I do check winnings now and see if they're short and fit the pagywosg theme, or if I just want to play them, and this one happens to fit the theme and also short so I thought why not? Playing a lot of jigsaw puzzle games recently in fact and that's cuz I got back to Dead by Daylight, and kinda addicted to it. lol And since I work from home now if I got things done already today I can play games, so I've been playing some games(including this one) in between DbD matches and waiting for queue since it can take a bit.

This game is, however, not that great tbh. It's said to be an asset flip which, for me I do not mind since jigsaw puzzles are just, most of the similar concepts. There's a lot of bad things about this one tho, one is the preview doesn't match the actual pieces as the picture gets stretched weirdly, so that's kinda annoying. Another, actually a major problem I ran into that made me change my plan of 100% completing this game to just call it beaten is on one of the puzzles there's a piece that's misplaced? It's a border piece and when I put it to where it's supposed to be at, it snaps with the bottom piece but doesn't have that *ding* sound when it matches, so I dragged it around and lo and behold the correct spot is slightly above it and misplaced, causing the top piece of it to never be able to be placed cuz it's a corner piece. So I just called it quits. *shrug*

Playing Appreciated win. Been joining a lot of roguelite games cuz I'm in the mood for trying out some of them, but this one fooled me! I would not say it's really a roguelite, but instead is a pathfinding puzzle dungeon crawler game since you can't really "die" except in the ghost levels.

In this game you step on monsters to kill them and gain xp, but most of them cost health to kill, and you have a line behind you that you cannot cross. So each level is basically a puzzle on figuring out the path to maximize your xp gain while getting to the other stairway. I really liked how it dropped me into the game straight away with a few tutorial levels, mostly shown all the mechanics through practice and you only getting to the "main menu" through beating the normal stage once.

There's 2 main story levels, and there's 3 dogs with their respective abilities, quirk and downsides(2 unlockable through 2 of the 4 additional modes). Regular dog has bomb(3 coins cost, blows up in a cross) and health pack(6 coins cost, full heal), and level up with xp, with normal maps that has coins and health packs. Zombie dog which has worm(3 coins cost, converts/turns cross area into worm) and worm can(9 coins cost, place a worm on all empty tiles) and levels up with xp. The reason for the worms abilities is zombie dog does not have health pack on the map, but rather heals with 3 combo or high value enemies. And then the robot dog has lighting(3 coins cost, cross beam attack) and level up(9 coins cost, gains 1 max health), and the exit stairway has a xp requirement for opening. I actually didn't realize the level up thing when I first played as him and did not have good growth so had to start over. :P It's really interesting how the basic game mechanic can change with some tweaks.

The 4 extra modes are daily challenge which has you play as the robot dog(kinda similar to the puzzle mode tbh), the centipede mode which is a special enemy that you have to try to destroy all of the centipede with cutting it, puzzle mode where it's more about given a map, how do you perfect the path to get the required xp, and finally the ghost mode which is a timed challenge that I tried a few time and gave up. lol I suck at timed puzzle challenges, and good thing it didn't force me to beat it to unlock another dog. xD

Overall I enjoyed the game. The soundtrack is quite good as well. I'm listening to it as I write this review as you get the soundtrack when you beat normal mode. :P Or was it downloaded when you downloaded the game I'm not sure, there was just a button that led to the window showing where it is. Not what I thought the game was(since I didn't look much into it), but I had fun with it. Will keep it installed to do daily challenges for the 319 days of challenges probably(unless I get bored and give up), but won't try to 100% it. :P

Pagywosg game. This game feels almost identical to the other one I played(Woodle Tree Adventures) and I only just checked and that one got removed from steam, so I guess I just played the same game twice? lol Not sure if there's any changes even, but it's just an average 3D platformer. Each stage has 3 droplet as goals, and additional berry collectibles to unlock extra weapons and levels. The music is not the greatest as the melodies are too repetitive and fast paced, doesn't fit the vibe the game gives me(kinda a chill, cutesy little game). The biggest complaint I have about the game is when you die while the camera pans in a certain way, you might respawn with the camera all wonky and facing the wrong direction(only fixable when you get to a section that changes your camera). But since each level is short it doesn't hurt much to restart if needed. Other than that it's a relatively fun pass time, and grinding the 3k berries is actually kinda fun as I tried to optimize my route each restart as a little challenge. :3

Bought this during summer sale and finished it in one afternoon. I had a blast! Initially found and wishlisted the game when I saw a playthrough of it, and I knew I would like it because of the simplicity yet kinda incremental idle game feeling? In the end it was more like a micro-management game than anything tho. It's kinda odd cuz I enjoyed and liked it a whole lot but doesn't have much to say about it? It's just super fun, and I'll leave it at that. xD

A pagywosg game, yes I'm rejoining some event stuff, getting back to playing more games and slaying backlogged ones, which is always fun. :3

A bit of a boring walking simulator-esque game. The environments are super dark that if it isn't for looking up guides I wouldn't know where the elevator even is to progress the game. The models looks cheap unpleasant to look at(tho the game isn't trying to be pleasant so I guess that works). The work part I also had to look up a guide on exactly what I need to do since I've ran around several runs without any idea of where to go, and the fast paced music and the speed of movement made my heart felt weird and I started to hold my breath again(I've found that I do that with some games that has dying effects like heavy breathing or are very tense like FPS PVP games. I'll instinctively hold my breath and then hyperventilate when I ran out of breath, rinse and repeat all without me noticing). I think the game is a metaphor for middle easter people's oppression? Or perhaps I'm totally missing the point but it's so vague(not a good vague) that I don't really like it. The reveal that the letters you wrote weren't getting sent out and they were fabricating your letters instead I did not expect and quite liked that actually, which bumped up the score by 1, but overall I didn't really enjoy the game.

Another pagywosg game. A HOG with absurd story that contradicts itself and bad voice acting, and some of the solutions made me go "Oh bullcrap why does that item solve it? The other item I tried would work so much better". But the good thing is there's no "don't use hint" achievements and hints recharge quite fast so I've just been spamming them when I get stuck. lol The actual HOG scenes are also kinda poor quality? The whole game feels a bit blurry. I do like that there's many locations and worlds with their own aesthetics.

Game was alright, tho there's better HOGs out there to play than this one.

This game is so freaking good, it's kinda what got me back to like, actually playing new games and back to steamgifts and here. Just the excitement of playing and finishing a game and having it on my mind for a couple of days, and looking up playthroughs of the game to sorta, extend the length of thinking about it and consuming more of its content cuz I wanted more, if that makes sense? And I completely stumbled upon it by accident, just one day decided to redeem my humble bundle, saw it and out of the blue wanted to play it. It's meant to be I say! x3

This is a rhythm-esque adventure game where you dodge the notes instead of hitting them in combat. And the reason I added "esque" is because the notes aren't arriving to you on beat, they come out on beat(most of the time), so you have to time your moves with a slight off beat which throws me off quite a lot at first and at some certain moments, but when you get used to it it's a really great gameplay system.

It's heavily inspired by Undertale I'd say, with quite some winks and nods to it, but is by no means a "clone" of it as the gameplay and story stands on its own. The gameplay is so good that I went back and attempted no hit achivements for most of the fights, which I almost never do unless I really love the game(like Ori) since restarting over, and over is just so tedious and I get angry easily, but I loved attempting them. The story gripped me really hard, but that is because I accept the narrative and the story setting that it has and doesn't really, insert my own morality into it? I have read some people's comments when watching playthroughs that it didn't resonate with them quite a much especially the ending, so I think it depends. The game does have flashing lights and nauseating effects tho(which there's a setting that reduces it but still), and that's kinda, a charm of it? xD Like, I doubt I would ever get to experience what acid is like, but in a sense I can get a feel of it when playing the game and oh boy it's fun! :3

I haven't mentioned the soundtrack have I? It's so, so, fucking good!! Every single song is a banger with multiple different genres of music sprinkled in. If not for the banger soundtrack the no hit runs would be just that much more tedious, but since the songs are That good, it doesn't even make me that mad that I have to restart.

I didn't really go into much detail of the game because I feel like it's a game played best blind, like how I got into it. :3 The twist in the middle changed the entire perspective of things and made it really refreshing even tho it's the same really, which is super cool!(and that's all I'll say. xD) I highly highly recommend checking the game out if you have the chance.

Won this from Playing Appreciated. I know it's a cheap asset flip game, but sometimes it's just "fun" playing these sorta short asset flip things. xD

During my playing I've observed some things regarding the game:
1. You can click on the same card twice and it'll count as matched lol
2. You can unflip the cards that you've already flipped and matched
3. The timer counts down into negative so it could deduct points even tho it says 0
4. Seems to be a random infinitely generated levels thing.

So yeah, that was quite interesting to kinda, break it apart, I suppose. :P
