Ringo's Roundup

If you're familiar with games like Locomotion and Pipe-mania and have a love of puzzle games then read on! Direct Ringo the post bunny to their destination, while collecting all of the mail. The game starts off with some simple tutorial levels, teaching you about placing the arrows, rotating your vehicle and explaining the rules about not flying off the edge! Essentially, you have a grid and a limited set of arrows, place them down on the tiles to direct Ringo, when you're ready hit go and your vehicle will set off in the direction its facing, place the arrows correctly and Ringo will end up at the destination, make a mistake and you go flying off into the void! I tried the game with both game-pad and mouse and found the mouse a little easier to just click and place the arrows but either method works well. Each world has its own environment like deserts, ice etc, and some have jumps, portals and all sorts of extras you have to take into account when placing the arrows and planning your route! Each level has a requirement of letters to collect and extra badges are awarded for completing them in a set amount of moves, with these badges you can buy extra designs and colours for…

Nice little puzzle game! It might not be the hardest puzzle game out there, but it's no walk in the park either. It's fun and cute, and the added challenge of trying to find the longest route is interesting (and probably more challenging than finding the shortest one). The music is nice and fits the game well. There's no narrative to speak of, but that's not a problem in a puzzle game. Also, you gotta love a game with a bunny protagonist. i do think there's room for improvement. There could be keys to place down pieces instead of having to drag each one in; it makes it feel too much like a phone game. There could also be a level editor (unless I missed it) to make puzzles or check interactions.

It always hurts a little inside when I see great games with few reviews, so I have to take a moment to appreciate this one. Ringo is our mailman, driving around in his cute little car in this re-skin of "get all the items and get to the exit" - but instead we're picking up all the envelopes and depositing them in the mailbox. You don't control the car directly - rather, you place tiles that have various effects like turning, jumping and warping - click Go and watch the action unfold. There is no time limit and no limit on the number of tries. The game has a playful cute art style and is remarkably polished for a small indie title, yet despite the tiny map size of each of the 100 levels spread over 5 biomes, many of the puzzles are deceptively difficult, the last dozen outrageously so; the difficulty curve is fair though. Additional rewards for finding the shortest and longest routes for each map add significant replay value. Cons: playing with controller is awkward due to the isometric layout of the maps, the music is really repetitive, one of the mechanics (the wormhole) is quite off-putting and Ringo certainly won't win any awards for innovation - but it doesn't really m…

Very good core gameplay loop with decent progression. There are three keys; beat the level, beat with the shortest track and beat with the longest track possible. I think this is for children but there are some levels that had me really think hard. If you like the cozy look and ZERO pressure give it a try.

Very cute little puzzle game with some truly difficult challenges towards the end. Made by a small team with a Nintendo 3DS eshop game art style (i.e. the mii games, Pushmo, Rusty's Baseball, and Badge Arcade), I admire the amount of content you get for a pretty cheap price. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a good puzzle game! 8/10, I didn't like the wormhole mechanic, and I beat it in 2 hours.

Fun puzzle game, took me around 100 minutes to 100% the first 2 out of the 10 total worlds in the game. So far most the puzzles have been somewhat simple, but are gradually getting more difficult. It took me a while to find the longest path solution for stage 2-8, and it felt like a nice challenge. I assume the levels will get more difficult as I encounter more of the mechanics, as I've so far only encountered 1 out of the 4 special The controls are fine, but there's a few minor annoyances: - No keyboard shortcuts to start place specific tiles or remove a tile (there is double click to remove a tile though) - No option to click to select and click to place instead of dragging the tile every time - To move a tile you have to hold it for a short period instead of just being able to drag it away The screen transitions are skippable by clicking, so it felt quick to reset a stage or navigate to the next stage, despite the amount of screens between them. At first I didn't realize that pressing "back" in the stage select would take you back to the puzzle without removing your tiles, which lead to some frustration when I wanted to redo the puzzle with a similar solution to the last one.…
