Pakinpaks

Nice and slow paced game, I mainly took interest in this game due to its Y2K style. Just the simple shading and cartoon animals are what I enjoy. I'm not much of a puzzle guy, but if it has cartoon animals, I'll check the game out.

Pros: - Players are able to proceed get just packing all the items in without fulfilling the extra conditions (but can only get low star rating for it) - there is a hint system but once players use a hint on an item, auto placement will occur and the item cannot be moved anymore unless the level is restarted - dialogues/cutscenes etc. can be skipped by adusting in the settings, which I totally appreciate that Cons: - there is no auto clipping to slots so using a controller to control a mouse that picks up the item and dragging it to a slot might feel a tad bit awkward. It will be better to use directional inputs to auto clip item to a slot instead.

I liked how the game has different requests and combination that you couldn't place them together :3 However, I felt "Electric" attribute is so annoying as it cannot be placed with nearly everything that comes with attributes x.x Quite mind challenging, and I like how they combined this with a travel concept thing Different areas will have different items rather than just the same thing over and over again Cute game to kill time! But downside is I don't like how the characters talk ahaha, sounded annoying .-.

Pakinpaks is a cozy puzzle game that proves even the most ordinary activity can become surprisingly entertaining when paired with smart design. Developed by Indiebuild and published by Catoptric Games, the game revolves around packing luggage for clients traveling to destinations around the world. While the premise sounds simple, the challenge of fitting various objects into limited spaces quickly evolves into a rewarding exercise in logic, planning, and spatial awareness. The game takes a familiar real-life task and transforms it into an engaging puzzle experience that is easy to learn yet difficult to put down. The heart of the game lies in its luggage-packing mechanics. Players must arrange a variety of items inside bags and suitcases while satisfying different requirements and restrictions. Early puzzles act as a gentle introduction, teaching the basics of object placement and organization. As the journey continues, new complications and rules emerge, requiring more careful consideration and experimentation. The steady introduction of fresh mechanics prevents the gameplay from becoming repetitive and keeps each packing challenge feeling distinct. Solving a difficult arrangemen…

I see RE4 attache case management, i get a little poggies, okay, am i wrong for pogging? But then they add complexities, as they should for being a full standalone release, and to make it more of a puzzle game. It loses the same sanctification as stuffing ♥♥♥♥ so it fits to gain a new satisfaction of solving puzzles, but I just get frustrated. You can just stuff ♥♥♥♥ so it fits, but it has a 3 star system to me requirements for bonus points. You can't dangle bonuses in front of me.

You can feel that a lot of love has been put into this game. Puzzles weren't challenging but not easy either, so if you want a puzzle game that makes you think but doesn't frustrate you at the same time, I think this game is a solid contender. The story in itself was straight forward and some characters we're actually pretty cool. I would say it was worth the money, enjoyable experience. 8/10
