‘Ultra Sharp’ Review: Ultra Greedy

Ultra Sharp By: 1Button SARL  I wasn't really planning to write a review for 1Button's Super Sharp Sequel, Ultra Sharp. I was going to work on a walkthrough, but as a free game with ads, I didn't see any reason to write a proper review when people could just download it and try it for themselves. Like its predecessor, the game is a physics-based puzzler where you need to slice through…

ΓÇÿZero/SumΓÇÖ Review: Unskippable Cutscenes + Infrequent Save Points + Meaningless Progression = Zero

Zero/Sum By: Sean Kearney ╬ô├¬ΓîÉ╬ô├▓├╣╬ô├╢├ë The pitch for Sean Kearney's game, Zero/Sum, is that it's a math puzzle game combined with the cheesy storyline of an 80's B-movie, complete with live acting and absurdity. I confess, I wasn't all that excited about the math, but I love a good cheesy movie, and it was hard to pass up on the opportunity to cure cancer with puzzles. It turns out, the game delivers…

‘Resynth’ Review

Resynth By: Polyphonic LP Pty Ltd Over the last few years, I've become a big fan of Sokoban puzzles, such as Go to Gold and A Good Snowman is Hard to Build. They involve pushing items around a board to their goals and are usually tricky but relaxing, harder on my brain than on my reflexes. They also involve a certain amount of trial and error, but can't really be brute forced.…

‘FRAMED 2’ Review: A Proper Prequel

FRAMED 2 By: Loveshack Once in a while, a truly rare and unique game comes along that's not just a perfect fit for touchscreens, but makes you wonder why it hasn't been done before because it just seems simultaneously ingenious and obvious. Loveshack's 2014 puzzler, FRAMED, is one of those games. It had you swapping panels of a comic strip in order to change the outcome. It's definitely one of the most…
