Multiplayer, which allows PC and mobile gamers to play together, is the core of the gameplay.

Another installment in the simulation game series by UIG Entertainment. You play as the boss of a logging company, whose task is to turn it into a prosperous and technologically advanced business. You have to buy various logging machines, such as transport vehicles or harvesters, which cut the trees down and chop them into pieces. You also need to make investments in order for your company to prosper, especially when it comes to newer, improved machines, which make logging easier. The game features expansive maps, where you can find not only large woods, but also road networks with traffic, which can be an additional challenge e.g. when you have to transport many goods at once.

Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams - Director's Cut
May 13, 2019, End of Life
Arcade, 2.5D, Crowdfunding, Indie Games, Platformers, Singleplayer.
An enhanced edition of a 2012's platformer game Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams. The Director's Cut offers improved graphics (1080p), as well as the contents of the two DLC packs, namely Rise of the Owlverlord and Halloween Level. The remaining contents of the game have not been changed. A girl by the name of Giana is the protagonist. Both her and the environment around have a double nature - in the colorful version of the world, the protagonist is a rebellious teenager and the player listens to heavy sounds of an electric guitar. However, when the dream-like reality turns into a nightmare, Giana gets humbled and becomes a good girl again - in this type of situation, the player hears slightly disturbing, low-tone music. Simultaneously, the in-game locations undergo slight changes, and the protagonist can use different abilities when a shift happens. The player switches between the two dimensions depending on the current goal. On their path, one encounters plenty of challenges combining puzzle solving with arcade elements, as well as many original enemy types, including several bosses.

Archaica: The Path of Light
May 13, 2019, End of Life
Puzzle, Indie Games, Polish games, Singleplayer.
A logic game inspired by Chromatron and Aargon. Archaica: The Path Of Light is the debut production of TwoMammoths, a Polish development studio. The title puts an incredibly responsible task in the player’s hands: to save the humanity from extinction. To achieve this, we have to activate special defense mechanisms by leading a beam of light through the forgotten path of the ancients. In practice, it means operating mirrors so that they reflect light into magic crystals that provide energy to machines. This task is made difficult by numerous obstacles such as stone blocks that we have to move or gates that need to be opened. The game is further enriched with secrets that reveal some details about the story. We uncover them by directing a beam of light at obelisks marked with hieroglyphs. The single player campaign offers five areas divided into several levels. We gain access to them from the world map, and the stages we’ve completed can be replayed. Archaica: The Path Of Light features colorful 3D graphics and diverse locations.
