Snakebird

great

This game is evil and brutal, don't trust the cutesy art. Snakebirds hurt me on a physical and emotional level. Then I started to get it. I was able to see what the snakebirds were really capable of. Then they beat me up again and told me I didn't know anything. I looked up a video for the level and realized I really didn't know anything. I learned. I solved something very difficult without any assistance and I thought, wow, I must be smart, I've finally tamed the Snakebirds. Then they beat me up again and showed me that my human brain will never fully comprehend the Snakebird. Great puzzle game with a lot of genius levels, but man is it rough when they throw you into the deep end and you have to build 12 new neural pathways in your brain to get out.

This is a new favorite of mine, and I haven't even finished it yet. A fantastic puzzle game that is expertly paced. The game may be deceptively hard compared to what you may expect based on the art, and a fair few of the puzzles are really easy to get stumped on. The atmosphere is uplifting but maybe not as juvenile as it seems, though still colorful and cartoony. Overall a beautifully crafted puzzle game. The only downside is that this game sets the bar high for future puzzle games, and if this game is one of your first in the genre (like me) you may find a lack of similarly high quality games.

Short puzzle game but with a steep difficulty curve. Would not recommend as your first puzzle game, but if you've played a few before this shouldn't be too hard. Very cute but the music got old quickly. Mechanically there isn't a ton of depth, but for the length of the game it stays fun. Definitely worth it on sale, but full price I don't know if it's worth it since I 100%'d in ~4 hours.

The art makes it look very simple but this is one of the most deceivingly clever video games on here. Really well designed puzzles that will leave you stumped for longer than you'd think, but they're always very rewarding to finally work out.
