*** (2019)

[b]Game key was provided by the developer for purposes of review through Steam Curator Connect[/b] For a $1 game it is mostly fine. What you see is what you get. A simple puzzle game where you guide an untextured Unity model around a room pressing buttons in a specific order for you to unlock the door. While the game is definitely not going to blow anyone away, it does its job mostly okay but there are some notable grievances that I experienced during my time playing. [i]The controls[/i] The game operates fully by mouse control, which while mostly fine, the handling is particularly weird for the game. When you try and move the character onto one of the buttons, instead of moving to where you click, the game forces the character to the centre of the button which can lead to control fighting in-game and resulted in me several times messing up with what I was trying to do and forcing to essentially restart the room again. [i]Lack of tutorial[/i] While this may be good for some, a large grievance I had was that you had all these symbolic buttons on the floor but you're never told what the buttons do. There are some simple buttons such as the "X" when stepped on will deactivate all…

I'm on a mission to play every Steam game in alphabetical order, and you can watch my review here: https://youtu.be/nlxKAdZW8y0 tl;dr A very basic puzzle game with imprecise controls.

[h1]*** (Triple Asterix) (2019 PC game by Kenshin Game) (Chinese)[/h1] This is a very lazy, slapped together, step on tile, puzzle game made in Unity by a Chinese developer. This is his only extremely bare boned product, which has not been worked on regardless of the fact that he made this promise from the outset… “I want to make a game that improves players' problem-solving skills. It goes from simple to complex, covering points and then the bigger picture. This game is just the beginning. There’s so much I want to do that hasn’t been done yet, and I hope to improve it as soon as possible.” Ok, granted the Developers communication is stifled as demonstrated with his mis-spellings on the store page such as (happyness/happiness) and (metain/maintain), but frankly, he lied. This is a one background tile puzzle game which extremely suffers due to there being no tutorial, no follow along plot, extremely all over the place puzzle progression and no level select screen. There are 36+ levels with the plus being referred to by developer being a single walk on tile as it is on level 1 and then an optionless main menu where exit is your only choice. The End. Even after completing the ga…
