Dolly - Poetry and the spiky thingy!

Dolly is an incredible puzzle/platformer filled with wonderful gameplay ideas, artistic concepts and a moving soundtrack.


The level design is so finely tuned that you will think: "if only more games were like this".


Every new screen is a piece of art and the aesthetic and style are eye-candy treats.


The only bad point for this game is the fact that there is so little information about it or its author. For instance, there is no save game function. So is it intended that way or it is not finished?

Anyway, it's a student project and it's a must-play: http://blakemwood.itch.io/dolly

Future Love Space Machine: RPG with no pants


In this space sexploration RPG, your goal is to find new partners of all kinds and explore new worlds with your pants off. So, adults only!


This game really looks like an AAA title and that's amazing! I never played any sex or erotic simulation game as it always looked so cheesy or crude. Here, you don't have an adventure game dipped into smutty innuendos, misogynistic imagery or some "I want your money!" tricks.
It's about opening up you mind, exploring your inner self and getting graphic about it.


The controls are a bit tricky and the options are limited so far but the road-map is attractive and the atmosphere (vibrant music and surroundings) is already settled.

The available demo version is more of a preview as the latest versions and DLC's are intended for the Patreon supporters.

Adventure Lamp - Put your helmet on

Adventure Lamp is a simple platformer where you defend yourself by throwing your helmet.


It's neat, very clean and extremely addictive. You get the controls with ease as there is almost no learning curve.
It would make a great smartphone game.

Treeker - Alone with glasses


In this exploration game, you need to find glasses to reveal new aspects of your surroundings. By solving enigmas, you progress in a surreal world.


The universe is gorgeous and the exploration is enjoyable. The level design is clean and the puzzle parts are fun and fit very well with the global atmosphere of the game.
But it's a bit sad not to see any body part of your character. It creates a feeling of emptiness, mixed with solitude. As for the platformers moments, it's tedious to be on a first person camera.


Those choices were obviously made to simplify the development but they tend to arm the playability. It's still a fun game tinted with parts of the greatest hits of the genre.
