Drop: Save the Forest

This puzzle game has a cute wholesome vibe. Given the family friendliness and the simple and straightforward way of stepping up the logic, I think this game could really shine in an educational setting. Also has built-in controller support, which is amazing for such a small and simple game. One thing I would improve about using a gamepad, is that when you are in the menus, instead of moving the arrow to scroll lists and go back to previous screens, there should be buttons doing that directly (usually B to go back and maybe L1+R1 to browse pages and lists, or something like that)

è stata una bella sorpresa! Il gioco mescola puzzle e azione in modo semplice ma coinvolgente. La grafica in pixel art è simpatica e funziona bene con lo stile del gioco. Adatto a bambini e adulti. Consigliato a chi cerca qualcosa di creativo e non banale. Aspetto nuovi livelli!

Cute game, short and sweet! It's not a pure puzzle game as I expected, but a combination of puzzle and action, with different degrees of both elements across levels. The levels are even labeled accordingly, "Puzzle" for the ones where you have to put some thought into finding the correct steps to solve the level, "Action" when more focused on fighting enemies. Difficulty-wise, this is not a hard game and seems intended to be possible for anyone to complete. Even for the few levels where I struggled, the game gladly offers multiple escape hatches ("Super" attacks available on all levels as long as you are ok with waiting, easy mode, rain providing infinite health etc.). Loved the graphics and style, especially the little details like making the edge of the screen darker when the flames covered most of the level. Makes it very satisfying when solving a level and the veil of anxiety is lifted (reminds me of Terra Nil). I also liked the nature lore, feels like home.

I'm not usually into indie games but I met this solo-dev at Milan Games Week and he made me very curious about his debut title. After trying the game what can I say.. I'm absolutely impressed! Really one person did all of this? Graphics, sounds, story, gameplay, congratulations! I've not reach the end of the game yet and I've already been engaged for a few hours. New challenges and mechanisms keeps coming up, you don't risk getting bored, the dev really understands how to keep the player involved. I'm a bit of a developer my self so I also appreciate how smooth and optimized the game feels. And recently achievements were added so now I want to have them all! I have only one minor suggestion to the dev: the game feels a bit zoomed-in on a 27inch, I think it was targeted more to tablets/laptops so I understand, but maybe you can think about something ;-) In general absolutely recommended and congratulations again.

If you're looking for a light yet challenging puzzle game, Drop is perfect. Little new mechanics are introduced throughout the game, so there's always something new to master. The retro gaming/arcade style art direction is charming and nostalgic, especially the music. I think it takes 6-7 hours, and more if you're collecting trophies. I would also recommend this game for a younger audience without hesitation. A great find!

Pretty cool
