Find those cute kitties! Give them the pats they deserve <3

Neat puzzle game that requires you to change the size of the objects to reveal, push, destroy other things in the level. Each level is refreshingly different and challenging.

Another great puzzle game. The puzzles are stunning and the music is soothing. I really liked the different board mode and piece shape options and the choice to randomise them

I clicked, I baked, I conquered the cookie-verse

An intriguing puzzle game where you have to think around the box, joining up items from each of the different faces to progress through the scenes and unfold the story.

A surprisingly fun, point-and-click detective game with an interesting narrative, well written dialogue and multiple endings.

A beautiful and relaxing experience where you wander an expansive world, brewing teas and crafting magical knots. Occasionally you will encounter other players to party with, improving your ability to complete mini-quests while together

The game is in early access, meaning it still has its issues: inventory is sometimes buggy, net code needs improvement, vehicle travel can cause soft locks etc. If you want to experience the growth of the game you can jump in now, otherwise wait until closer to release. Jump into the Might and Delight Discord server to chat with other players and to see if you'd enjoy this game.

This game has all the love in all the wrong places.

TL:DR all the polish went into making the game look pretty, but nothing to make the game fun to play
(Trophy hunters beware! The tiles are a real pain in the a** to move and you get 120s to complete each level, where all the late-game levels have *a lot* of tiles. But then you get screwed over by the character getting caught on terrain and run out of time anyway...)

Visually it is very stylish and beautiful in its own way:
- there are multiple variations of each tile,
- the trees are lovely and sway to an invisible wind
- dynamic shadows are cast by a sun or lanterns at night
- the little characters run around corners with more momentum depending on their speed

However this is largely detrimental for the UX of the puzzles:
- the tiles are too cluttered making it hard to see what path openings each one has, and the variation makes it harder to memorise them (when playing without the "Simplify" option, required for achievements)
- all the pretty trees cause frame drops and don't help with the loading hitches for the larger puzzles
- the little characters run into each other, blocking paths, and also just getting caught on terrain in general (they respawn on the same tile when caught sometimes up to three times before successfully getting to the next tile)

In addition, the puzzle implementation and UX are severely lacking...
- the level UI is really hard to read (white on pale blue) and the world space tutorial messages gets hidden behind the tiles
- to finish the majority of puzzles, you need to manually move the characters, by selecting them and then selecting where they should move to, but the selection is unresponsive and usually requires 2+ clicks to get them highlighted
- the fancy indicator to show the radius of a tiles movement bleeds into areas that the tile can't move
- the mirror mechanic introduced in later levels stops one tile from moving if its partner cannot move, however the UI indicator for the blocked tile doesn't show for each mirror pair so tiles just seemingly can't move in certain directions (real pain in the large levels)
- after zooming in on the larger maps, you need to use the arrow keys to pan around the map (no the wasd keys don't work, yes, you do need to uncomfortably sit with your left arm crossed to the other side of your body because you still need to use the mouse...)
- etc. etc. I could go on

Blask is a refreshingly unique puzzle game with over 60 levels that get more challenging after all the mechanics have been introduced. The combination of objects and their placement in the level means there are many solutions to the one puzzle. I found myself slowly tweaking the rotation or position of an object, just to find the sweet spot that would make all the lasers fall into place.

Whoa! Enjoyed the first game and want MOAR? THIS IS MOAR! The premise is the same but with new puzzles and some story (if you want to engage with the story). The devs also improved some of the controls since the first game too!
