Pretty decent little puzzle platformer with a pretty lame story.
Some regions will have problems finding a copy.

As a free-to-play game you can expect everything to be time consuming unless you want to pay, but this game makes EAgames marking department look tame. Lives do regenerate at about 5 an hour and you can get 15 coins every 12hours. Winning usually gives 20 coins or 30 if you do really well. You can get unlimited lives for a limited time, for example 12hrs for 1,000 coins, The problems really start on the 2nd map, as many puzzles can take hours of retries before you get one that is solveable, and some pop up that seem legitimately impossible. You will eventually have to get some reshuffles which do not regenerate at all. 1150 Coins will get you 3, which may be enough to actually finish one of the impossible setups, but maybe not.
If you decide to go the pay-to-win route, check this screenshot which speaks for itself i think. https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2891815754
It is in AUD which on Steam ranges from 30% to 50% above USD
The most expensive offer, while allowing ample extra playtime, still will not permanently unlock the game. And there are currently 3 more maps that I have not even seen, after 4 days of unlimited lives.

Pretty good looking game that would make a decent walking simulator, but this is a driving simulator with vehicle programmed by ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

False name, this looks like Kakuro but it is just a poor imitation.
Kakuro is a puzzle using logic and maths that looks like a crossword. Through a process of elimination you can deduce which number combinations are use and how to get the single solution.
This "thing" only involves throwing combinations of number in the grid until eventually one of the multiple solutions pops up.

Co-driver sounds like a 60yr old english gentleman who is having problems keeping his dentures in :)
Fortunately this game has a 3d best line option.

There is quite a bit of action in this game which is pretty unusual for games of this genre. It is not a bad idea but since the game runs like a potato things can get frustrating or tedious pretty fast. Screens take ages to change and controls are sluggish.

The story is so linear that most of the time when you collect an item you have no other option other than to immediately go to another room and use it.

Voice overs are pretty bad, amateurish and sometimes don't work.

Overall this is a game most people will lack the desire to try and finish.

The protagonist of this game Is a fairy with a thing for home renovations and interior decorating. Some wizard dude comes by one day dribbling something about a dragon. You immediately set off to see if anyone needs help.... right after you finish building a fireplace to make some tea.

Upon arriving at a local village we find the dragon has set fire to the whole town. This is great because while that wizard dude does some dorky stuff, like clues hunting or whatever, our fairy can buff up her resume by rebuilding the town. Later she will even get into sculpting statues and building monuments, because reasons.

We will need mana to accomplish all this construction and we gain it by playing Solitaire. I mean its not like you need a spoiler alert for that, its written in the title. There is also some pics up the top of the store page for people who TL;DR anything not written with abbreviations and acronyms.

So we need to clear stacks of cards to collect some mana or coins hidden underneath. We can use the coins to purchase magic abilities, upgrades or cheat cards. To achieve this we need to overcome many types of obstacles. The mechanics of these are all well explained by the in-game tutorial that pops up whenever we see something new. The only issue i would say, is the explanations for the special abilities you buy and what benefit there is to upgrading them. For example the fourth magical ability only ever says that it changes a card to an adjacent one, yet if you upgrade it, you get a joker instead.

As for game difficulty there are 3 options. Normal, Easy and Lightning. The difference are that easy has a double size deck, and lightning has a time limit included. Each difficulty has its own save slot so you cant change it mid game for specific levels. Normal is a pretty comfortable challenge as long as you remember to spend your coins and occasionally use those cheat cards.

Playing on normal difficulty i would estimate about 14hrs to finish all 200 levels.

Functionally I have seen no issues with the game, everything runs smoothly and all achievements seem to work. The game has a number of decent music tracks so less chance of getting some crappy tune stuck in your head for the next month after listening to it non-stop for hours on end.

Pretty decent for a free game. Mechanics may take a bit of getting use to and dying is going to happen more than you expect.
The game is not overly hard, just needing a bit of practice on jumps (especially when iced) and trial and error to solve puzzles.

Interesting variation from the standard HOG with your character on screen like in a platformer. Items are hidden in the background rather than a scene cluttered with objects. A few puzzles require quick thinking and a couple mini-games will requiring some dexterity above that of a potato.

It is pretty a pretty short game but the extra effort the Devs put in to make the gameplay stand out from traditional HOGs, make this one that deserves a look.

Unfortunately all the achievements are non-functional.

Isometric Party based RPG reminiscent of games like Baulder's Gate, but with better camera controls.
Combat is turn based and similar to X-COM but outside of combat it is realtime.
Post apocalyptic setting very similar to Fallout (their is even an off-hand reference to it by an NPC saying bottlecaps are not currency).

If you liked the games mentioned then this game might be for you.

Be aware though:
Only a small part of the game has voice acting, so there is a lot of reading if you want to get into the story and background side of things.
A few bugs are still present, the one I noticed the most was my main characters losing their clothing (underwear is part of the base model so dont get too excited to try that out)
Dialogue options generally disappear after selected, especially ones leading to skill talking options. If you dont choose a skill talking option when available then they are gone for good. This can lock you out of certain options or rewards.

Overall minor problems for a pretty good RPG and recommended if you enjoy games involving enough that they take longer than a weekend to finish.
