I gave a bunch of stuff a fair chance, most came somewhere out of the puzzle category
On my pickup list:
- Viewfinder - 3d perception puzzles ? count me in
- Jumplight Odyssey - space ship management with loads of influences including FTL; i just hope this gets the time to iron out its kinks
- Escape From Mystwood Mansion - escape room game
- He Who Watches - dungeon crawler with puzzle elements; being bound by movement
- Cipher Zero - there is some great stylized art hidden between the minimalist logic puzzles; wondering if this goes anywhere else
- Lil' Guardsman - a humerous papers please
- Crime O'Clock - a bit of MicroMacro with some time travel
maybe:
- Venba - some mild cooking with a heavy story orientation; not a lot of content in the demo
- Stunt Derby - seems to have the classic stunts as a heavy inspiration; not there yet but i would give it a second chance in the future
not for me:
- Pizza Possum - running around without being caught didn't click with me
- Heretic's Fork - card based tower defense
- Logic Town . deduction puzzler that got stale very quickly
- WASD Quartet - more of a 1 minute experiment then a demo of anything, still find it lacking in the sound departmend even though its thythm based
- Crazy Zen Mini Golf - the mini golfing doesn't feel tight enough; controls seemed off
I really enjoy next fest a lot, still so many more things to give a try.
As a day 1 backer i would like to offer my sincerest apologies.
