Mars Power Industries Deluxe

Pretty simple puzzle with some interesting mechanics, most of the levels are not difficult, only had troubles on a couple of them. For a chill afternoon it's a easy grab on discount if you like puzzles and something to play on one sitting.

Super chill, resource-management puzzle game with a cool retro sci-fi synth vibe! Placing power towers and managing resources in a strict order is very satisfying, and the bite-sized levels make it easy to drop in and play. However, there are no hints if you get stuck, the controls/UI feel a bit clunky with drag-and-drop, and it gets repetitive after a couple of hours. 7.5/10

Seemed like a regular puzzle game at first. Then, when I started to get tired of the puzzles, stuff happened. Weird stuff. Puzzles within puzzles, eldritch horrors. Before I knew it, it was 8 PM, I hadn't had dinner yet, but completed the game. 9/10 would recommend.

6/10 [h1]TL;DR[/h1] Chill and relaxing fairly easy puzzles, with multiple concepts that differentiate from another and keep the gameplay fresh. By far my biggest complaint is the input method, that can be taxing on the index finger. Otherwise the puzzles were too easy for my liking.

It's quite frequently on sale for nearly nothing, and is absolutely worth that price. I'd even argue that the game is worth it's full price. As to what the game is, it's just a small fairly simple puzzle game, you can beat it 100% in about 2 hours, and paying 5 euro for 2 hours of good puzzling seems very fair to me. DO NOT REFUND THE GAME IF YOU BEAT IT IN UNDER 2 HOURS!!!!!

Amaze! Amaze! Amaze!... 10/10
