ΓÇÿOrdiaΓÇÖ Review: One Does Not Simply Walk Into Ordia

Ordia By: Loju LTD Causality was one of my favorite games of 2017 and remains one of my favorite puzzlers. It has clever time-traveling mechanics, is extremely user-friendly with its ability to rewind your mistakes, and it's all tied up in a nice, neat package with pleasant visuals. So of course I was excited to hear that developer Loju was working on another game. Ordia released last week and isn't quite as…

Linn: Path of Orchards By: Crescent Moon Games Linn: Path of Orchards is a game I wish I was better at playing. I love the art style that's reminiscent of classics like Monument Valley and Alto's Adventure, from the color palette to the weather effects. It has a calm and relaxing soundtrack that makes me want to keep playing even when I'm frustrated. I'm also a big fan of games that have…

Grimvalor: Walkthrough Guide, Tips and Tricks

Grimvalor By: Direlight I confess I'm not the most skilled player when it comes to these hardcore hack-n-slash platformers.

ΓÇÿOddmarΓÇÖ Review: Just Eat the Magic Mushroom

Oddmar By: Mobge Ltd If you've been frequenting this site for a while, you probably know by now that I'm usually not a big fan of platformers. Even back when I still played games with a controller, I tossed Mario aside in favor of Zelda. So when it comes to using a touchscreen, it's very rare that I feel in control enough to master jumping platforms and dodging and killing baddies. Usually,…

‘Candleman’ iOS Review: A Flickering Light in the Darkness

Candleman By: Spotlightor & CMGE  You'd be hard-pressed to find a game that embraces its theme so completely as Spotlightor's Candleman. You play as the titular character, a candle on two legs. He's on a search for meaning and discovers a lighthouse, then decides he wants to shine as bright as that lighthouse. He travels there through places like a dusty old library piled with books, a rocking ship with deadly…

Ovivo: iOS Review and Gameplay Videos

OVIVO By: Alex Vilassak (IZHARD)  I love when I see a game in the App Store that I never heard of before, but it looks really interesting and is reasonably priced, so I give it a shot and it turns out to be one of the best experiences I've had. Such is the case with IZHARD's OVIVO, one of the few platformers I've played through to the end. The black-and-white minimalistic…

Candleman: Walk with Shadows By: Γò¼├║╬ô├▓├▓Γö¼├¡Γö¼ΓòíΓö£┬╜Γö£┬╗Γö¼Γòí╬ô├▓├▓╬ô├▓├▓ (CMGE & Spotlightor) Let me get the obvious out of the way -- Spotlightor's Candleman is a breathtakingly beautiful game. Even though you will spend some time in the dark, when the environments are illuminated, it's almost impossible not to gasp. When it was first advertised for consoles last year, I was blown away by the trailer, but I didn't have any expectations of it coming…
