Ugly, difficult, and annoying little game . . .Still somewhat addictive! I came close to uninstall it about 10 times in the first 8 minutes, but somehow managed to play it for 3 hours already (!) Full disclosure: I have yet to win my first battle! :/ 10/10 Absolute Love/Hate relationship !

The concept is alright but the UI needs work. The game forces you to click on buildings all the time to build things when it could all be in one side window with tabs instead.

A great maze tower defense game. The time you see is how long it took me to finish it. 3.5 hours. Although short it is very well done. Different types of troops, traps and enemies keep you on your toes. Totally worth the price. ( I paid $4.99) At the start of each map and as soon as you place your base down the enemy attack path shows up and you can plan your strategy from there. Satisfaction of a well-planned defense is almost as fun as seeing what didn't work. Enjoy. After you finish the initial game you can play endless mode. The islands are randomly generated so no two games will be the same. (if you don't like the map, start over.)

Tower defense. I don't see the 'rogue-like' unless it is the randomization of the levels...otherwise it is short and unfortunately not what I expected.

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
