If that's the Mini… good lord, how big is the regular one?!

Posted in PWB July 2024

It's a lovely game, I finished it the other day. I was playing, my other half was watching and advising while she was ill (and frequently pointing out the stuff I'd missed, since I had that gaming tunnel vision). Really enjoyed it, though screw becoming an expert in every family type… :laughing:

That looks bigger than I expected, given it's a Mini. Unless it's a perspective thing?

(that's what I assure all the ladies)

Pepper Grinder - Nice little game with some neat mechanics, but far too short for what I expected (only four worlds, five levels in each). Found all the hidden coins too, but the only real incentive to keep playing is cosmetic, time attack challenges and a totally pointless sticker book where you can create your own scenes… no thanks. Deleted, next!
Flock - Editing to add this, since I started and finished it in the same afternoon. Lovely little game from the Hohokum devs about completing a zoology report about many different species on a small island. You fly around, spotting new creatures and then working out what they are… it's not hard, though there are some red herrings along the way and some trickier ones to find through puzzling means. I enjoyed it, and would probably have been happy paying a tenner for it if it wasn't on Game Pass. Next!
Botany Manor - Editing again for another 'done in an afternoon' entry. Lovely puzzle game that isn't too challenging (you're working out how to make each plant grow by following connected clues), but has some lovely touches and gentle brain-teasing thoughtfulness. Like The Witness, but not in a way that'll have you cursing the developer's name. Guessing some of the hidden achievements was fun too, since it was very much 'I wonder if I do this…' stuff. Good fun, nice to play with my other half while we're off, all done. Next!
