Rimebeard

Rimebeard is a faithful reinvention of my favorite NES game. Unlike its pixelated predecessor, It has beautifully rendered graphics. The puzzles are extremely tricky, ingenious and clever. Imagine a wizard, whose magic wand can create or melt ice. Guide him to extinguish all the flames in each dungeon. Unfortunately, the wizard cannot jump. But be can climb anything his own height. You can save at any point in a puzzle and there's keyboard and controller support. A big thanks to the developer for providing a key.

If you like challenging puzzle games, this is it!! I'm usually not that bad in games like these but wow, this gets hard very fast, which is what I like a lot about this game! It's not a game you can rush through and be done with in an hour. You really gotta think and learn all the mechanics to win! Plenty of levels and with this 2nd update it's now even cleaner!

This is a very good retro inspired puzzler that may look simple but can get quite tricky at times. The puzzles are well designed but for some reason I struggled with the thing that you can only create diagonal ice blocks beneath you. Now this mechanic may seem like the game is limiting your creativity but it is in fact the opposite. On harder levels you will have to use all your knowledge gained from easier levels and solve some really clever puzzles. Over the 7 worlds/chapters you will be introduced to new things like rocks, crates and pipes. What I liked the most is that you can enter any puzzle at any time so if you are stuck you can just move on to the next puzzle. There is also a quicksave function that helps a lot on longer levels. It is not the hardest puzzler but not at all casual so there is a fair amount of challenge. The controls are fine the music is ok and the graphics....uffff, look, I don't care how a puzzler looks as long as it is well made so let's leave it at that. I made a walkthrough so if you are stuck take a look at it. I decided to make one when I finished chapter 5 so I had to spend more time on solving puzzles for the second time and recording, you can fini…

Great puzzle game inspired by an NES classic. Nice mechanics and pleasing graphics. A pleasure to play, even though it gets quite tricky. :)

I know the developer a bit so I am slightly biased towards recommending this game, but I bought it of my own accord and still want to give my honest review. I will point out all of the good and bad that I see. Pros: - It's a really cute game in terms of the artwork, I like how it looks despite its simplicity. It actually looks much better when playing the game in comparison to the tiny video and screenshots you see in the Steam store page. I thought I wouldn't like the artwork very much originally, but seeing the game in full screen, I was pleasantly surprised! - I'm an avid puzzle gamer, and surprisingly this went from easy to difficult very quickly. If I didn't like challenges so much, this aspect could be a con, but I really enjoyed being thrust into actual puzzles and having to figure techniques out without getting a long boring introductory series of puzzles to learn the ropes. That's a major gripe I have with many other puzzle games Cons: - I feel like the controls could be a little bit more responsive. A couple of times I found myself hitting keys too quickly and moving off a ledge or block, and since I also already hit the key to place a block as I originally intended, in…
