The Pocket Playfest has been an unforgettable gaming journey, a true testament to indie game brilliance. Here's our salute to the game champions: Also, we have to give a huge shout-out to all the developers who made this festival come true: - Van: Creator of Cyber Manhunt - Wayne Cheng: Creator of Cat of Khronos - indienova: Creator of Heaven Dust - RJ: Creator of I See You - BIGSHE: Creator of Prime of Flames

I am telling you the games that are in Playfest are all so great. Another pair of great games. For this round Prime of Flames takes the W. It had great story and great game play, though Bright Reaper used a game mechanics for their game play that's not common and it is fun, i think prime of flames due to its engaging story and nice look took the W. The do deserve it but bright reaper in its own right a fun game.

Reverse: 1999 is a time-travel strategy RPG developed by Bluepoch that unwinds the passage of time. Taking us to the turn of the millennium in 1999, a mysterious event known as the Storm ravages time’s constance, reversing the world as each raindrop is pulled back into the sky. In all of this, we the players take on the role of a Timekeeper, an observer of eras, and use our power to travel between time periods to save people important to our mission as we try to unravel the mystery of the Storms. And as an arcanist, we wield great magic to carry out our work, and strike down those who dare oppose us.

✨Overview Core Devourer is an upcoming rogue-lite survival top-down shooter of what seems like a mash up of two of the best rogue-like games in the genre: Risk of Rain 2 and Vampire Survivors. I tested the Demo recently — and with the limited gameplay I experienced, I can say there is indeed potential in this game, if they can get the pacing and the  mechanics right upon release. ⭐️Score: 7/10 Pocket Playfest: An Indie Celebration 2023 Winter Edition

I'm always talking about in all platforms, the reason of my admiration and why I look for indie games. I will repeat at least the basic: Quality. When we find a team that makes a game with love, really valuing the smallest details, it's impossible not to create affection for the game become more and more curious about what will happen during this journey. If I had the opportunity to meet the team that created this game, I would give a standing ovation and thank you. I always said: "Graphic isn't everything."

if you are looking for a calming game to play at night, in stressful moments, or while just relaxing with your family I recommend “Wordscapes.” On top of this it also activated your brain rather than weakening it. This means it could make your mind healthier while you have fun. I have been playing this game over the past few months and have truly enjoyed. It’s a nice refreshing game compared to fast paced gameplay of FPS’s. Hope you have fun 🤩

Round 3 Winner:  Prime of Flames A shoutout to the developers of both Prime of Flames

The gameplay was surprisingly fun, and can be a bit challenging. You have to carefully  place the turrets, mind your positioning and using your tools to your advantage. The pixel graphic was very nice and the music was pretty good. The presentation of the story was.. okay and the plot was kinda predictable, but it's still pretty enjoyable imho. Biggest downside was the control. It's not that bad, but it could be much better.

Hold up—was the solution right in front of me this whole time, and I didn't even notice? 🕵️‍♀️ Search for items/Connecting circuit/Chamber Escape/ Visiual Quests/Fun Minigame/ Disguise and evade Wait… Have puzzle games *really* come this far?!

Give me another Tither family murder mystery—I’m on fire!  🔥

Going in, I thought this was just an Infinitode clone. Boy, am I glad I was wrong! Refractor is a pixel tower defense game with the idea that you could influence the path that the enemies would walk through. Personally, I like the art style. There's really just something nostalgic with pixel-art games that really draws me in. With regards to the game mechanics, it really is just a tower defense game with a few innovations. Each turret you build has a set of random neutral tiles that can serve as the enemies pathway. This game element is what really drives the strategy here since you have to be careful in placing turrets if you also want to extend the enemies path to the end portal.

Pocket Playfest: An Indie Celebration 2023 Winter Edition In a recent hands-on exclusive experience this past weekend, I had the privilege of testing a handful of titles on TapTap's experimental cloud gaming service, setting the stage for this 16-day event where indie game developers show-off their creations exclusively on the TapTap mobile platform — fully playable PC games without the need for an actual PC, Android/iOS version, or the need to download the games and install them.  Granted, you’d need to have a reliable internet service to be able to stream these games, and preferably are located in US and Canada for consistent play and latency, at least for now.

As the dust settles on the battlefield of Pocket Playfest's Round 2, one game reigns supreme: Dwerve (with 4499 votes). This tower-defense-dungeon-crawler hybrid deftly outpaced its competitor, Refactor (with 3993 votes), in an epic showdown that captivated gamers worldwide. Round 2 Recap: Dwerve Clinches Victory The second round of Pocket Playfest saw a riveting clash between two indie powerhouses. Refactor, a brain-teasing physics puzzler, stood its ground against Dwerve, a compelling fusion of tower defense and dungeon crawling. Though both games drew impressive download and vote numbers, Dwerve managed to edge ahead, cementing its place as the round's champion. We would like to shout out again for these two amazing game creator:

The action point mechanism is amazing! You can move multiple icons at once. After playing this game, I don't want to play any other match-3 games anymore.

✨Overview CD 2: Trap Master is a tower defense rogue-like deck-building game that has just recently been released in Early Access form. It is a sequel to the original mobile game Candy Disaster TD, featuring very similar elements, and adds rogue-like deck-building elements to the franchise. Going in blind with this game, the title obviously gave away that this is a game sequel, but I could not find any trace of a predecessor game called “CD” across Steam and the internet until I found out that it was actually titled Candy Disaster TD, primarily a mobile game that was also released on PC. Upon discovering that game, it became apparent that CD 2: Trap Master is indeed a sequel to that title, and these games appear remarkably similar.

Cool pixel three in a row.  Addictive.  True, as it seemed to me at the beginning, the leveling of the character is slower than I would like. Well it's my nitpicks 😅.

"Resident Evil at home". That statement sums up the overall experience. It has very similiar vibes, kind of similiar in terms gameplay, but is lacking some of the charm. It's an okay survival horror game, if you are easily spooked and can't handle horror games you don't need to worry because it's not scary at all. The story is very cliche, as cliche as you can get. It's basically every zombie apocalypse ever.
