The first game I played was Sleepi Boi Can’t Sleep, created by thatsmaik. This game is about exploring a house on a rainy night and eventually finding a way to sleep. I found this game very calming due to the cool toned colors chosen, with the majority of the screen being a dark blue/purple color. The mechanics of the game were quite nice and cool for I’ve never really seen a 2D pixel game used in a 3D scene. I found the turning of the screen with a mouse to be quite interesting because it gave me more chances to interact with the game. The game was quick but quite enjoyable.
The second game I played was Clearing Your Name, created by DaneAsmund. This game is about someone clearing their name of a murder they did not commit. The movements of this game were quite simple, everytime you pressed a movement key, you moved one space. The game’s colors were quite simple, with the max colors on the screen at one time being 3. I found the lack of colors a bit hard to differentiate where to go across the map, especially if they weren’t specifically highlighted. Though, I found the story to be quite compelling which made me think that it would last quite long, but it ended up being a quick game.
