Indie Gems

Hi, everyone... How things going on? Been a long time since my last post. Today, I bring 2 news for you all, the good and the bad one. Which one should go first? Guess, the bad one. Alright... here is the bad news, I would like to say sorry for any email request from dear developers. Unfortunately, at my current state, I can't promise if I can make any review of your games especially in a quick period. However, if you want a shout out, feel free to tweet me or send me an email (press kit). I will be happy to forward the email for my friends in Tech In Asia Games and tell the world about your games :) The good news, this blog won't be extinct, of course not... It's been almost 3 years since I create this blog in 2013, dedicated to discover hidden gems on the app store from scratch. I won't abandon this, never. I promise you all. However, due to my occupation, there won't be any regular update for the blog, but for regular update you can check videos on my YouTube ...

Disclaimer: Since the game is episodic, I'll update the review each new episode comes out. The review here based on PC version. Life Is Strange - Episode 1: Chrysalis Review Life is already hard, life is already strange, but it becomes more complicated when suddenly you realized you got a 'gift'. A gift that probably wanted by everyone. Well, at least that was my first thought when I see this game. An eighteen years old girl who has an ability to rewind time. Wow, how cool is that, who doesn't want that :p? I believe if I have that ability, I don't need to study anymore before exam :p. I can fix all of my faults and probably my life won't be like this? Alright, just abandon my crazy opening. Ah, before I write too far, I'm gonna say if I rarely play games on PC (mostly I play on mobile - iOS) and I don't like to play story driven/ point n click game too much. FYI, I just ever played the first episode of The Walking Dead. In addition, I nev...

Framed is one of my anticipated games during 2014 and finally the wait is over. When the game popped out on the App Store last week, I got pretty excited and can't wait to try that game. Unfortunately, the exam week forbid me to write my impression as soon as possible here but I believe many of you already try that game. So for you who still on fence looking for some 'more' reasons to try the game or not, let me tell you the reasons why you shouldn't miss this game. iOS Games costs pretty cheap and nobody can deny that. Each week so many one buck games along with freemium games. That's why when a new game come with quite 'high' price (more than a buck), some of you might think why should I try this game? is that worth? Framed is a game that costs $4.99 but to be honest you can't measure the worthiness of the game from one aspect only, especially the playtime. I read some reviews on the App Store said if this game wasn't worthy enough for that pric...

Oops... it's quite late... haha... Nevermind, you can play games everyday no matter what day is it :P This week I played mobile games only and I also got my new iPad.. hurray lol. I won't be worried about crash anymore, at least until the next 2-3 years further. Okay, this week we have Monument Valley and Chilie to be played. Monument Valley I bet most of you have been know about this game. Okay, for me this game is "perfect". I don't think a game should be 4 or 5 hours long to be finished. For me, a game is something to be enjoyed. Game is about an experience of the player and it doesn't measure by the time, but by its quality of experience. Monument Valley is a game where you play as Ida who looking for her true identity. Actually, before you finished the game you have already seen her true self but may be you just didn't realize about it. It's a game about optical illusion, everything here is different depends on how...

Ah, I wish it's not too late... >< Every Saturday I have a bit lovely habit :p... Yeah, it's #screenshotSaturday lurking time... LOL Okay this time I have 2 games only for you to try. One is web based game, the other is needed to be installed first. Narcissus Narcissus is a game about coordination and corporation. It's about fast thinking and reaction on two different things at the same time. If you play this alone, you can learn to be focus and concentrate. However, if you play this with your friend I doubt for it right now, except you have a big.. really big arrow keyboard. You will control 2 humans or may be a human with his shadow here at the same time. You will jump and from one platform to another platforms. There're 3 modes so far, easy, medium and hard. It has a simple but pretty pixel graphics also that chiptune soundtrack is perfecto. Think fast, act fast definitely worth to play this game on Sunday :D Ps: It's hard to control people when...

Please Note: This Review was made based on the first version of the game. The actual game might have been changed much now. Regarding the control, the game has better control option now and it's one of my favorite game on 2013. Don't believe my said?  Prove it here ;) Thanks It started with a beautiful opening scene, with a short touching story. You're a deleted/ died video game character but you want to figure out the peace before being deleted forever.  You don't want to be died now, and fortunately you got a second chance to life more longer. You woke up with 6 ram (lives) and 30 foo (money). Then, you will travel with a truck from one town to another town. Once you arrived at a town, you will meet several strangers. Talk to some strangers, some of them will sell an entry for room or they can give you important information. That's why reminds what have you read, and keep your attention because sometimes there's a trap behind the door. There...

It's has been a long time since the last time I played Hidden Object game. I've been so bored with almost all hidden object games have similar gameplay and puzzle aspect nowadays. Until last week, I've been lucky enough can found this little gem. Morphopolis, a game which developed by  Micro Macro Games was a game with great combination between hidden object, adventure and puzzle aspect. There's no story like in fairy tale inside, but let me tell you why you should get this game. In your first time playing, there'll be brief tutorial about how to play the game. As long as you play the game, you should learn and found anything inside by yourself. Don't be too rush, this is not a game with timer nor enemies. You should explore everything with relax. I admit that I interest the game because its art. If you think art is the only value from this game, you might be wrong. I found the mind-boggling puzzle game accompanied with ambient soundtracks inside. ...

When I see the trailer for the first time, I think I was watching a DISNEY movie trailer. It made me so excited to see the actual movie. Unfortunately, my thought was wrong. It's a puzzle game... Yes, buddy it's a game... A game which developed by Thoopid, indie developers from Cape Town, South Africa. Snailboy is an unique physics based puzzle game. Wait... did I just say physics? Don't worry friend, this one absolutely not an angry bird game. The game might uses 'catapult' concept, but definitely not an angry bird game. That has been a long time ago. Now, it's time for a snail to prove his existence as a hero. Play as a snail which looking for justice? No no... not that... He looking for his perfect shells. All of his precious shells has been gone. Help him to bring back his shells. The game is so easy to be played. You just need to pull, set aim for flinging the snailboy. You need to collect all the apples as quick as possible if you want to ge...
