En Garde! is a challenging action game that starts easy and becomes more complex and chaotic in a positive sense. The main character (Adalia de Volador) and the other characters are charismatic in a way that makes the story even more entertaining. Also, the scenery is beautiful and character movement is fluid. The only issue comes when there are multiple enemies and you don't have patience to deal with them like you're supposed to (and it's not the game's fault!).

I saw some reviews complaining about the gameplay being bad somehow, and I completely disagree. The fun of the game comes from the increasing number of enemies that attack you with different patterns; it doesn't get repetitive/tedious (talking about main story, it's short); and the environment is highly interactive and some objects can be used multiple times.

Tiny Terry's Turbo Trip has a great sense of humor. Although some of the quests felt bland, I'm glad that not all of them have to be finished to complete the game. Then I would describe it as a short and fun experience.

I felt very frustrated while playing Grapple Dog. I hate this game. I thought it was going to be a relaxing one, but the colors and cuteness tricked me. I can't give it a thumbs down because even though it was stressful playing it, I have to recognize that the game was well made in many aspects and maybe the problem is just that I am bad at it (but yeah, I beat it!).

About the level design, I believe that it is not so good in some stages. I started trying to get all the oranges, but gave up very soon, as in many stages there will be like 2 possible ways where one contains a gem (and more oranges often) and the other is a point of no return with a checkpoint; and many times there is no way to distinguish each of the ways. Or sometimes I get a gem after a long way just to die and lose all progress. I gave up playing the extra stages, the main story was enough for me.

Costume Quest is a very relaxing game. Once you get the spirit of it, you know what you have to do to progress (with some puzzles here and there). The battles are nice, but they don't change much during the gameplay, but I didn't see it as grindy, I saw it as a repetitive but kind of fun effort to advance in the story instead, which was entertaining.

Never losing progress even when losing a battle is also a big thumbs up!

Rocket Rats was the first survivor-like game that made me have real fun and go for 100% achievements. The gameplay is very simple but well polished. The skill tree for each character and the characters themselves make the replayability high as there are multiple combinations available that get me thinking how to make a better build for each of them. And knowing that it's a Brazilian game makes me proud!
