Mediocre Gameplay and baffling design decisions.

The best thing about this is the attention to detail. So many objects can be interacted with in fun ways. This game brings me back to my childhood days, playing games while asking myself "what if i can do this obscure thing?" and in this game most of the time i can.

This leads to the levels feeling alive and to a lot of chaotic fun. Highly recommended for a rainy day.

UFO 50 is one of the most creative game pitches in the last decade or so. I myself was sceptical at first if the quality of each game could hold up to the promise but i was wrong.
Each one of these games are creative and fun and most are way deeper than you'd think. While this game is a nobrainer purchase for any retro game enthusiast i think anyone will find something they enjoy in this amazing collection.

A nice small game with some good multi purpose Game Design.

Downwell is an exceptionally well designed rogue like which relies heavily on multi-purpose-design. You control your momentum, and attack by shooting, picking up a different weapon also grants a permanent ammo buff or heals one hp, and overhealing 4 hp grants you a permanent HP upgrade.

I just beat hardmode after 84 hours of playing and i plan on continuing to start up downwell whenever i have 10 minutes to fill.

The UX sucks major ass. This starts at the login and continues into the multiplayer.

A very short and cute game that can fill a rainy day.

I really liked the gameplay and how progression is handled.

This game is MADE to be a virtual date. The abilities are fun the story is heartfelt and focused on (re)building a relationship the ability design is great (except for the snow level in our oppinion) and i also like the async design philosophy.

If you enjoy a bit competetiveness with your teambuilding experience there are also many fun optional versus minigames. I would advise you to agree on a wager. In my case it was that the looser treats the Winner to a Burger which kept the games interesting right up to the end.

The graphics are simly beautiful and the diverse Setting leads to many "wow" moments.

In addition to that there are so many fun side activities. For my part we caught ourselves spending more than an hour to paint a Landscape painting by walking over a canvas.

Good Puzzles (for the most part), great Humor, and nice Gameplay turn this into a Fun Experience.
I would have liked a bit less restricting levels and the exclusion of the pipe and memory puzzles but thats really just nitpicking.

The guy who wrote the Dialogues deserves more money :D

One of the few pieces of good modern game design around
