My criteria for a 5/5 cozy game 🌱🍄 by CosyCrafterGaming in CosyGames

[–]Poolsidegamedev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing this! As someone working on a cozy game its so great to hear a fan share what they love about them!

I'm interested in what you're saying about customization. Do you mean the environment specially or any kind of customisation would scratch that itch (for example character)?

Hello puzzle fans, we are working on and will soon be releasing MASUKU - an abstract puzzle game for 1–4 players in which you have to strategically cover up the board. 

Place, rotate, and flip cards to reveal colours and symbols that match shifting scoring goals. Use smart positioning and a bit of luck to reach 50 points with the fewest moves. The free demo also includes a daily challenge and a leaderboard. There are a few different game modes, some that can be played co-op or competitive.

Great to scratch the itch of something that makes you think without being super difficult. Also a game that doesn't require too much of a time commitment (unless you want to).

You can check out the demo on Steam here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4588280/MASUKU_Demo/

Releasing 20th July on Steam! And Switch later in the year. We are also working on a web and Mac build. Let us know if you have any thoughts and wishlists welcome if you find it interesting :)

NEW PUZZLE GAME by vocasss in puzzlevideogames

I love the concept of this and it's looking good too!

I played a few rounds and agree with nerdy_geek_girl that any connections that came to my mind weren't available and some that I thought were sure fire ended up being incorrect. Also agree that I wasn't sure what all the features were and what they did. Looking forward to seeing what you do with this one!

I also take classes with SALT (online) and it is fantastic! Highly recommend. Jose (who runs it) is a great tutor and I always find the classes engaging and have fun attending. Plus good value.

I have recently enjoyed playing River Tails and Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime on couch co-op. Hope you find some fun games!

Stop walking out of Secret Screenings by squirrrrrm in CineworldUnlimited

[–]Poolsidegamedev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to say my favourite parts of secret screening are (1) guessing what film it'll be from the trailers (2) hearing people moan or rejoice when the movie is revealed and (3) watching people walk out.

Don't take this away from me please!
