The Last Cube is a deceptively simple looking puzzle game where you play as one of the most unassuming characters ever. A cube. Silly though it may feel to play as a basic geometrical shape, this game actually had some decent puzzles that made me think. At the same time, the demo’s 4.5 levels could…

Conquistadorio: Demo Review
Conquistadorio is a puzzle game about a retired conqueror who became a hermit. And I suppose he’s become about as reclusive as one can get, as the demo opens with his coffin being unearthed by some rather large bugs! Yikes! I was drawn to this game mainly due to the interesting art style, which is…
Croc’s World 1, 2, & Run: Demo Reviews
Not to be confused with the equally obscure Croc series by Argonaut Software, I’ll be reviewing all three Croc’s World demos that I could find because they’re all pretty much the same and very, very short. Croc’s World 1, 2, and Run are very colorful platformers starring a crocodile. Powerups include a helmet for breaking…
The Jumping Donut: Demo Review
I don’t usually do much research when I download demos. They’re free, so there’s really nothing to lose but a little bit of time. With that said, I didn’t expect much from The Jumping Donut, and I didn’t get much, either. I guess I’d kind of describe this game as a puzzle-platformer. As the name…
Q Remastered: Demo Review
Q Remastered is a unique puzzle game that allows you to draw various shapes that fall to the ground due to the forces of gravity. Although it seems like there’s very little you can do with such a feature, this brief demo of 10 stages had an interesting variety of puzzles to solve. At first,…
Boxville: Demo Review
Boxville is a point-and-click puzzle game about sentient cans inhabiting a cardboard city. No one speaks, but rather, communicates completely through drawings. I’ve played plenty of games like this, whether it be When the Past Was Around or The Almost Gone, where you wander around, gather items to use in other locations, and solve puzzles. …
Drowning: Demo Review
Drowning is a short game about a teenage boy struggling with depression. The demo lasts about 15 minutes, and the entire time is spent walking along a path in the forest while text appears. I know the term “walking simulator” can be overused, but there are few games that really illustrate the nickname better than…
Rusty Rabbit: Demo Review
Rusty Rabbit is a Metroidvania about a grumpy old rabbit named Stamp who explores the ruins of Smokestack Mountain in his mech suit, Junkster, in search of even more, well, junk. The demo takes roughly 30-45 minutes to complete, and in that time, you explore two industrial looking areas and meet another group of rust…
Pilo and the Holobook: Demo Review
Pilo and the Holobook is a casual adventure game where you catalog the universe by scanning everything you see into the Holobook and creating stickers of your finds. The graphics are colorful and cartoonish, the characters seem charming, and the gameplay is…lacking. The demo contains the game’s intro and one world, Vast Desert, and took…
Europa: Demo Review
Not to be mistaken for Youropa, the correctly spelled Europa follows an android named Zee on an adventure on one of Jupiter’s moons. It seems mankind relocated here, but aside from some old ruins, no sign of them remains. So what happened? Perhaps the game will answer the questions posed by the demo…
