The art work is very solid, I find it lovely. The music is very soothing. The story is intriguing and I want to know more. This is only chapter 1 and when you finish it say there are more chapters to come.... but this was released in October 2022 and it's almost April 2025 now. So I guess the real meaning of it being title 'Missing Pieces' is that it's missing the rest of the game. Their Instagram only has 4 posts. Their YouTube channel only has 4 videos from 2 years ago. I'm pretty sure this game has been abandoned which is sad.

Not much to say. It's another hidden cat game. If you like hidden cat games, play this. If you don't like hidden cat games, why are you on this game page?

Every room feels basically the same. I love cozy games so I really wanted to enjoy this but the way this scores you makes no sense. I can't figure out how to get the max stars and the tutorial is lacking on details. For each new room, you are presented 2 decor types without anything to indicate which one will fit the client better. You just have to guess. And after a few rooms, the novelty of the game is gone. This feels like an early Early Access game. I'd love to see this expanded on but as it is now, it's more like a proof of concept or a final project for a game dev student.

The graphics are solid but the game is beyond boring. It tosses a lot of tutorial text at you initially but for all that text, there's nothing to actually do. The colors of the pet are randomized so you just have to hope you get a combination you don't hate. I have no idea where all of the fun looking stuff in the video and screen shots on the store page actually happen but it must be after you've put like days and weeks of hours into earning the in-game coin to buy the stuff.

I was excited to play Jurassic World, especially after enjoying the first game, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. While the visuals are solid, the game mechanics are a major letdown.

The controls are a significant part of the issue for me. For instance, when you have to drive the Jeep to chase a dinosaur, you then need to switch to the guy in the back with the binoculars to actually see anything. Similarly, piloting the helicopter and switching to the tranquilizer guy is a nightmare. It looks like you're close to the dinosaur when you're not the tranquilizer guy, but once you switch, you realize you're too high up and can barely see your target. It’s also cumbersome trying to chase the dinos, then switch to the secondary person to tranq the creature only to not be close enough. Or you switch but then you have to get sights on the creature from the new perspective and by the time you do that, it’s run out of range, so you have to switch back to the driver/pilot. But that means switching the camera view perspective again, having to locate the dino again, chase after it, switch camera POV again, find the dino, and try to tranq. Repeat endlessly.

The controls during action sequences are particularly cumbersome. While controlling the helicopter, you use the WASD keys to maneuver and the mouse to aim, but accidentally hitting the Q or E keys switches between tranquilizer and stimulant. This leads to infuriating moments where you think you’ve hit the dinosaur with a tranquilizer, only to realize you’ve given it a stimulant and it’s now sprinting away faster than normal.

Another major issue is the lack of guidance and tutorials. The game doesn’t explain basic mechanics, such as how to make roads or rotate buildings. Even critical tasks are poorly explained. For example, when performing a wellness check on a dinosaur, the game doesn't tell you that you need to manually click on the jeep, then add the task in the user interface, and finally click on the specific dinosaur.

Despite the game's potential and my initial excitement, these issues were deal-breakers for me. Thankfully, I played it for less than two hours and was able to get a refund within the two-week window. I hope future updates address these problems, but for now, I can’t recommend Jurassic World.

This is a cute short narrative game and I finished in under two hours. The quirky writing kept me engaged from start to finish. With two game modes available, I opted for the harder mode, which said gave fewer and more obscure hints but were so useless they could have been turned off entirely. Overall totally worth playing

If you're a fan of point-and-click detective games, Tangle Tower is an absolute must-play. As a sequel to Detective Grimoire, this game stands tall on its own, and you don't need to play the first game to fully enjoy this one. However, after experiencing Tangle Tower, I would gladly buy the original game again if it were remastered with this new and stunning visual style.

The game team has truly outdone themselves with the art in Tangle Tower. The visuals are vibrant, detailed, and captivating, creating an immersive atmosphere that pulls you right into the mystery. Every scene is a work of art, and the character designs are both unique and memorable.

One of the standout features of Tangle Tower is its stellar voice acting. The performances are top-notch, bringing each character to life with personality and charm. There are some solid lines that had me laughing out loud, adding a delightful touch of humor to the intriguing storyline.

Speaking of the story, it had me hooked from the very beginning. I played from start to finish without stopping, completely engrossed in unraveling the mystery of Tangle Tower. The ending was well-executed and satisfying, leaving just enough to the imagination. The writers wisely chose not to over-explain every detail about the world, allowing players to enjoy the story without unnecessary exposition. (No one needs to know about Midi-chlorians to enjoy Star Wars!)

I've already wishlisted the next game in the franchise and can't wait for its release. Tangle Tower is a beautifully crafted game that delivers an unforgettable detective experience. Whether you're a longtime fan of the genre or new to point-and-click adventures, this game is a true gem that shouldn't be missed.

Minami Lane is an absolute delight for fans of cozy management sims! The game's charming and cute art style is captivating, making every moment spent in its world enjoyable. Although it's a short game with only five missions, each one is thoughtfully designed and relaxing to work on. The best part is that you can easily achieve all the game’s achievements in a single playthrough if you pay attention. It's a perfect game for a relaxing and satisfying gaming session. Highly recommended!

I'm giving "Little Mouse's Encyclopedia" a negative review because I expected a cute, chill game with a bit of narrative, as that's the kind of game I enjoy. Unfortunately, this is a learning "game" for very young children. The gameplay consists of clicking on objects like bugs and plants, which brings up an "encyclopedia" card that explains what you clicked on. That's basically it. It popped up in my Steam recommendations, but it wasn't what I was looking for.

I swear to God, this game is driving my rage meter through the roof. One of the achievements is to beat the game without ever using the help button to find items. I'm not sure I can call this a chill game. I bought it during the Steam Summer Sale, so at least I didn't pay full price, but I'm not even sure I want to keep it. It's very pretty, and the audio is lovely and calming, but I have RAGE IN MY HEART.

At first, I thought, "Oh no, I bought a game for toddlers and kindergarten kids." This is not a game for toddlers. I blame the watercolor art style. Something about it makes finding shapes hard; the shape you're looking for might not look like what you expect because the watercolor has light and dark variations, and so does everything else.

I think the other thing that makes it difficult is how big the actual "photo" is. There is quite a lot of scrolling on some of them, which means there are so many spaces for the objects to hide.

Playing this game makes me think this must be how a person with dyslexia feels. I'm told to look for a Y, so I search for Y shapes, feel happy because I found one, only to realize it's not a Y. In fact, it's a W. The Y I'm looking for looks like an E.
