Move to the beat!

I have played and completed all three games in the series on Android, and each time i have enjoyed myself. With The Room coming to PC, I am able to enjoy it all over again with the beauty of the remastered editions.

If you enjoy escape the room type puzzle, or were a fan the mystery of Myst, The Room will not disappoint.

"Do you recommend this game?"

That question has almost been binary for me. I leave a game thinking "This was an incredible experience!" or "This game was crap." Today, it's not that simple. The Beginner's guide was indeed an incredible experience, but not in the normal sense for a game. "Games are toys", "Games are for fun". I think those statement no longer stand true, and The Beginner's Guide is a example of this.

Is it a fun game? No.
Is it a good game? Yes.

The Beginner's Guide is something that is not meant to be played, but experienced. It tells a story. It tells a very personal story. I tells a story that makes you care for what is happening to the characters. Only a few other games have done this, To The Moon, or Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons being part of those few. These games invoke emotions, and with all of them, I have had to stop and reflect on what I really am doing here.

"Do you recommend this game?" I guess that's the question i have to answer in this text box. There is nothing wrong with the game. It's graphics, it's sounds, it's music. It's all on point to tell the story.

"Do you recommend this game?" Do I?

This is a story about Stanley.

Stanley had decided it would be a good idea to leave his office. He got up out of his chair, opened the door, and stepped outside.

Stanley had made a mistake.

Armikrog was ok. Would I recommend this game? maybe. The claymation style was very good through out the game, and there were plenty of puzzles, but not enough. I found the ending of the game felt unfinished, and sorta just... ended. The final puzzle was not very hard and only required traveling literally from on end of the game to the other, 2 or 3 times.

There were plenty of little things that made the game harder to play, such as having no way to check your inventory, which i tried to do for a good five minutes, and nearly all the buttons didn't do anything until the game was "ready".

Chinese Puzzle boxes have nothing on this.

Picked this game up in a humble bundle, and have just finished it recently. I was an enjoyable experience, with a new twist on the standard Rthymn game formula. The music is fun to listen and battle two, with appealing artwork covering the entire game. It also helps that the entire game is fully voice acted.

If you like Rthymn games, be sure to give this gem a play. And good luck in the Tower.

Coming back to this after the alpha 2.0 was night and day. Glitchspace is no longer a simple teaching tool, but is starting to become it's own full fledged game. I have only had the chance to play the tutorial levels and so far they have a good learning curve and do a great job of teaching not telling the player how things work.

The new design and graphics for Glitchspace is nearly night and day to the pre-alpha 2.

Pre Alpha 2.0:

As a programmer this was pretty basic, but for a teaching tool, this is very good. I know that it's currently in alpha, and i hope to see where this idea will go.

Really shows what it takes to make an Indie game. It's not all unicorns and rainbows. It tests you, it challenges you, it changes you. It will push you to your limits. But if there is allways a light at the end of the tunnel.
