New review: Herdling by @okomotive.ch, an adventure through vast environments as a boy with a herd of "calicorns". At times musically and artistically very impressive and impactful, at times confusing and difficult to control
sleepytoadstool.wixsite.com/sleepytoadst...
Herdling (2025)
Herdling is compelling in the way that you bond with and protect your calicorns while journeying through a vast world, but it loses some impact when it fails to make the herding gameplay smooth and co...

introducing the "puzzle compass," a certifiably correct and statistically proven chart of my infallible opinion

what games need added? let me know, because i am the authority on this purely objective study

#gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #gamestudies
A four-zone chart used to place puzzle video games, where one axis is "use of normal logic is legal" to "divorce yourself from reality" and the other is "just keep your eyes open" to "gotta galaxy brain that shit." There are also colored blobs that paint different sectors of the chart, including "feel stupid zone," "how the fuck zone," "satisfaction zone," "classic zone," "easy-going zone," and "mind blown zone."

New review: To a T by @uvula.jp, a "Saturday morning cartoon"-like adventure about being different. I had so much fun with this, both due to its ridiculous story and its silly playground world where you can be a little troublemaker

New review: Centum by Hack the Publisher, a spooky point-and-click adventure with an attractive art style, but not much else going for it. I pushed through it but didn't feel satisfied even once reaching its conclusion
sleepytoadstool.wixsite.com/sleepytoadst...
Centum (2025)
Centum has the polish and vibes of a cool horror game, but largely felt like it had no real purpose, had incoherent dialogue options, and a chore to get through.

Screenshot from Overland featuring a dog standing in a road beside a car with flames and alien creatures in the surrounding area. It's dark and eerie. Screenshot from Night in the Woods featuring Mae and Gregg up on the rooftops of Possum Springs. Screenshot from Wilmot Works it Out of Wilmot, a smiling square, moving some brightly colored puzzle pieces. Screenshot of a floating landscape in TUNIC.

New review: despelote by @despelote.game team, a slice of life game about an 8-year-old boy's childhood playing soccer with his friends in 2001 Quito. Ecuador is in a soccer fever as the national team gets closer to the world cup

New review: Blue Prince by @dogubomb.bsky.social, a mysterious exploration through an ever-changing manor full of history and secrets. This stellar puzzle game had me hooked with finding clues in every nook and cranny, and there is still much more.

Blue Prince (2025)
The unique story premise and challenging, immersive puzzle box manor will make for an experience you’ll enjoy getting lost in.

New review: Echoes of the Plum Grove by Unwound Games, a Paper Mario-looking farming sim set in the 1600-1700s early colonies. Its dark but goofy humor and its time-relevant challenges make it unique, but feels lacking with weak controls and writing
sleepytoadstool.wixsite.com/sleepytoadst...
Echoes of the Plum Grove (2024)
Distinguishes itself from others in the genre, meanwhile falling short due to cumbersome controls, tedious tasks, and lackluster writing.

New review: Arco by Franek, Bibiki, Fayer, Max Cahill. A pixel-art RPG adventure in a fantastical version of Mesoamerica. Unique environments, monsters, beautifully sad ballads, and a story of pain and revenge.

Arco (2024)
Arco’s partially-turn-based combat can be unforgiving and at times repetitive, but the music and storytelling are impactful and captivating.
