Another great and elegant game by Marciej Targoni. Minimal interface, no text but super clear rules that you learn as you play, a simple concept well developed into its several variations without being too long or too difficult. Bonus: the sound design is really good, especially the background pads, in my opinion.

All in all, about 30-60 minutes of fun, depending on how used you are to this kind of visual puzzle. Well worth the price.

Aww, it's cute! Also, the seagulls speak a foreign language.

An excellent game about decyphering and translating (written) languages, with a nice story and nice characters in it, and absolutely GORGEOUS looks. The puzzles might seem a bit too easy at times, and the stealth/action sequences aren't the game's best parts - but they're not too frequent, so no real harm done.

You can always get 100% of the achievements, because you can always backtrack to the entire game. And I feel like there's always more to discover about the languages, the devs really did an amazing job.

All in all very much recommended, I found myself involved with the different peoples and found the whole game very endearing.

An absolutely excellent game about growing, managing and defending your kingdom - all in quite simple mechanics, easy to understand but with surprising depth. The graphics are beautiful: it's great pixel art, and the water is honestly amazing. The pacing works great to be just challenge enough until you get the hang of it (then it might be a tad easy).
The simplicity and freshness is what makes this for me. I was hooked immediately.

Once again, a gorgeous and excellent set of puzzles. The mechanics are basically the same as in SiNKR 1 and 2, but there are enough new subtleties that you have the feeling of playing something really new - especially if, like me, you waited a good while after the last installment. The interface is still one of the best I've ever seen without text, and the tutorial levels are extremely clear when a new mechanic gets introduced.
Nothing too hard in this game, I finished it in about 3 hours with absolutely no stress. But every level is a pleasure to play, with really nice solutions (and often more than one path to completion).

Wholeheartedly recommend this game. My only caveat is that if you play this one before playing numbers 1 and 2 you might like the older ones less when you get to them, because number 3 is really good looking and smooth. :)

EDIT: well I went back to 1&2 and found out I'd missed the major updates that make them just as smooth ang pretty as 3, because apparently the dev is awesome.

I've only played the first world (of 4) so far, but I can already recommend this game for the sound design and music alone. Absolutely top notch, before you even begin playing it's already a pleasure to start listening to it. The visuals are really nice too: simple yet varied, with just enough decoration to make it pleasant without making it distracting.
The gameplay is simple but satisfying, rather on the easy side so far. New mechanics are added progressively, so far with no doubt as to where/how you should use them. The solution paths seem pretty close to linear each time.
If you're looking for a relaxing time in a nice maze with stunning sound design, this might be the game for you.

What a nice little puzzler! Rather on the easy side: with a bit of spatial intelligence and some pattern-matching, you'll finish everything in a couple of hours. But it's a pleasure all along - elegant visuals, great sound design, relaxing soundtrack, every new mechanic introduced with clear and simple examples.

All in all, very much recommended if you want a smooth time while putting some tiles on top of each other.

This is a disturbing game. The mechanics are simple enough - puzzle, little platforming, little stealth - and very well executed. But the atmosphere and the whole universe in which the game takes place... oof. I caught myself several times thinking "oh that's bleak" or "wow, really? that's super troubling".

Mind you, that makes the game intensely engaging and immersive. The visuals and the sound design are excellent, the puzzles all make sense, and it's not too long. All positive points for me, I definitely recommend this game if you like/don't mind the strong oppressive/disturbing vibes.

If you've been warned that the last part of the game is weird, rest assured that you haven't been warned enough.

A great installment of this wonderful series. It looks even better than the previous ones (which is no small feat), and the sound design is truly fantastic.
The puzzles are relatively straighforward, with a few exceptions. The hint system is actually helpful (used it three times, two of which I might have avoided if I had looked more carefully).
The story is par for the course in this series: mysterious and a bit creepy, very little is actually revealed, and that's fine. The real treat is how absolutely gorgeous every mechanical puzzle is.

Truly a spiritual successor to Flashback, this is a very pleasant and well-rounded game. Some platforming, some action, some puzzling, with not much hand-holding but never *too* frustrating.
The visuals are really top-notch, the whole worldbuilding is very nice, soundtrack is excellent... Very recommended indeed.
