We attempt to cowl each Change sport we’re despatched a code for right here at Gamezebo. Generally we discover ourselves with a little bit of a backlog although – like proper now for example.
So listed below are some shorter critiques of video games launched or up to date on the Change over the previous few months – that we would not have gotten spherical to masking in any other case.
My Brother Ate My Pudding!
A sequel of types to the Mother Hid My Sport titles, this one arguably steps over the road from being an amusing joke to one thing a bit crueller.
Successfully a quite simple environmental puzzler, you might be tasked with 30 tiny levels the place the target is at all times the identical – disguise out of your sister. As you ate her pudding. Naturally.
The puzzles are sometimes solved utilizing weird strategies, and normally contain manipulating the threadbare rooms in a spread of artistic methods.
Sadly the options are sometimes unattainable to determine with out numerous trial and error, and restarts take a bit of too lengthy – the cutscenes and fail screens drag on a bit too a lot. Which means what must be a lightweight and breezy title can usually really feel a bit an excessive amount of like a slog.
Should you deal with My Brother Ate My Pudding as an interactive jokebook it’s nice – however as a sport it doesn’t fairly work.
Rating: 3 out of 5
A Sketchbook About Her Solar
A Sketchbook About Her Solar is fantastically offered, however sadly it’s barely a sport – we’d argue it shouldn’t be offered as a sport within the first place.
You management the actions of Lucia on this vaguely interactive 30 minute title – a lady who has escaped a long-term relationship and now resides in a small city.
She is making an attempt to lose herself in her artwork however can’t assist pondering of the previous. The place you are available in is by sometimes deciding on considered one of two choices – and generally just one – to assist create poems on the finish of every part.
Every section is predicated round tracks from an album from band Purple Ribbon, and the music is nice – however you merely don’t get a lot out of this a participant.
There’s no actual growth in the primary character or the overarching narrative, and all of it feels a bit of aimless. Lovely, however aimless.

Slipstream
Slipstream is a retro fashion racer, and so it actually has to go some to face out from what’s a really aggressive subject. So it’s to its credit score that it does handle to do fairly a number of issues in another way to its friends. Some work higher than others.
Its closest comparability is Outrun, with its quick 2D backgrounds and branching paths – though not like Outrun every path takes you to a distinct character to race, from mouthy punks to Bob Ross homages (no, we’re undecided why both).
The motion is quick, the controls are responsive, and there’s an enormous quantity of content material to get via – particularly contemplating the affordable price-point.
Should you’ve already exhausted the Change’s premium retro racers then Slipstream is properly price a runaround.

A Musical Story
A Musical Story shall be divisive, however right here at Gamezebo we thought it was a massively spectacular rhythm motion title – with some caveats in fact.
Boasting a laid-back vibe you play as a band setting out on the highway in the direction of a competition, and the adventures you rise up to on the best way.
Arrange into story centered episodes that need to be performed so as, the enchantment is the best way the degrees move – with vibrant and attention-grabbing animation used all through.
We discovered A Musical Story straightforward to lose ourselves in, regardless of the issue. Others will not be so forgiving, however for those who’re on the lookout for a brand new rhythm motion title to your Change that is an virtually important buy.
