 +^ //Bubble Ghost Remake// ''[demo]'' | |
 +| Was never that into the original, but did play it on a the [[nintendo_games_boy|Game Boy]] a little bit. This version blows. Someone each screen has a couple-of-seconds loading time, even when you're restarting the same one after dying. Graphics are hideous, and the backgrounds are hard to read, so it's a bit of trial and error knowing what will pop the bubble. ||

 | Didn't think much of this. Feels sloppy, light stages are too long and enemy placement isn't as well thought-out as the original. I've been playing the first //Contra// on the [[nintendo_entertainment_system|Famicom]] a bit recent to test different rapid-fire controllers, so it's pretty fresh in my memory. In the demo the Story mode bugs out (why is there even a story mode?), but arcade mode works. It's cool that you can be the //Probotector// robots. || | Didn't think much of this.

 | I've been curious about these [[hidden_object_game|hidden object games]] for a bit. There are heaps of them. This one wasn't that different to playing a point-and-click kinda thing, except the puzzles were a bit more elaborate, the graphics overwrought, and the setting was some fantasy trash.\\ Kinda chill, would play another one for free for an hour or two :) || | I've been curious about these [[hidden_object_game|hidden object games]] for a bit.

 | So far I like it, but probably not enough to bother buying it. I particularly like the graphics, look both like early 3-D renders and [[Mega Drive]] sprites, really vibrant. Stage design reminds me a bit of the latest //Kirby// game. The combination of moves hasn't really gelled together for me, and though I kinda like the idea of how combat works, how you have to get overwhelmed to take a hit, it's mostly just spinning the joystick around, which always makes me feel a bit anxious, like I'm killing my controller, especially now these things are so expensive. || | So far I like it, but probably not enough to bother buying it.

-| Another nonogame by Jupiter. The goofy wizard music and crafting-inspired puzzles don't add anything interesting, though I guess they change the flow of the game, so you're playing a variety of puzzle sizes rather than playing 5× puzzles, then 10×, etc.\\ Still, I'm sure I'll get it at some point.\\ Oh yeah, I do really like the puzzles that are themed on the wizard guy learning how to make them, so they're bad drawings. ||+| Feel like half the draw for this kinda thing is nice graphics, but they've gone and replaced everything with 3-D animes. Battles seem unique, but I can't be fucked. || 
 +| || 
 +^ //Pic-a-Pix// ''[demo]'' | | 
 +| [[Nonogame|Nonogame]] with lots of DLC puzzle packs, seen them around for a while, but never tried til now. Really don't like it, seems like it's made as a cash-in rather than by someone who actually plays these kinds of things. UI is hard to parse sometimes, bad separation between clues and the puzzle, and the lines that show where your cursor is and unclear too. Generally feels bad. No problem with the actual puzzles though, at least. ||

 +| After a bit the riddles you solve to unlock feel like a big waste of time, as do most of the extra presentation things. If you just want to play Picross then this all gets a bit annoying, and makes me think Jupiter don't really know what they're doing outside of making Picross games that feel good. I do still like that you play a variety of different puzzle sizes. ||
