Frostrain is a nice deckbuilder game. You collect card over time and decide which to keep. The game have a few amount of card but different combination can be done. There is a replayability if you want to try different strategy. You can go for a full science train or a combo engine explorer. For last achievement you will have to find a good combo and attempt to beat the storm (either by racing or by bringing some much happiness that you can overpass the storm negative effect)

The game starts in windowed mode with a small resolution. Despite the large pixels, the game scene is clearly visible. There’s an option for fullscreen, but the scene is square-shaped, leaving black borders on each side.

The menu text is a bit blurry, but once the game starts, there’s no text or instructions—this is great, as it lets you discover the game features on your own.


You’ll find a coin counter, a death counter, a map, and a timer (optional, for speedrun only)

By the way, there are achievements that require a deathless run. My first death occurred within a minute of gameplay -_-

Don’t expect to get a deathless run on your first try; some rooms give no warning, so you’ll only know what to avoid after experiencing it once.


After a few minutes of exploration and vine climbing, I was looking for a power to jump or something similar, but instead, I received a power to walk on air (without any way to gain altitude, though). :/

Also, the power doesn’t consume any energy if you stand still, so feel free to take your time.

The moment I got this new power, I remembered a past room where I couldn’t reach a bonus. With this new power, I could get it easily—or so I thought! Turns out, it teleported me to another area: the famous Green Challenge Room, which rewards one of the three gems for the first door.

Next up, the Red area, and more death without warning.

Second power unlocked: YOU CAN JUMP NOW, BABY! This should be game-changing—oh, but it also prevents the gentle up-and-down movement I was using to descend and stop just before a spike… CURSE YOU, JUMP POWER!

Control are simple, four directions and one action button (X), the character goes where i would like, no big issue there.

Level design is quite good, many path displayed but your lack of power force you to follow a simple way, once you got a power, you can backtrack or keep going for more power (and backtrack at the very end for completion goal)

No specific puzzle here, just exploration which unlock more exploration. Backtracking is optionnal for a run, but completionist would require it to get all coins.

Graphic are pixel-shaped, good old style.

Regarding the sound design, two points : one the music is a chill and peace ambiant music. quite relaxing. Then second point, the sound effect can be very aggressive at some point (like when you die)

The game is easily playable with a gamepad.


The game is good, well executed by the developer, worth the price.

If there was a downside, it is mainly for achievement hunter because it require a perfect knowledge of all rooms and traps in order to 100% the game.

It’s developed by solo developer Ahmed Khalifa.

Il s'agit d'un jeu où il faut trouver des éléments cachés dans plusieurs grandes fresques.
Parmi les quelques jeux du genre, nous avons ici une qualité d'exécution au niveau excellence !!

Chaque élément à trouver est associé à un lore / une explication concrète, pas juste un n-ième chat à collecter.
L'histoire nous tient en halène avec une pléthore de rebondissements ainsi que quelques références culture pop.
Des astuces sont présentes en cas de besoin et ne viendront pas gâcher un succès. Pas besoin d'utiliser un guide donc !
Les graphismes sont léchés, la bande son est en harmonie avec l'ensemble.

Vaut son prix quelqu'il soit !

I played this in 2019. And only saw the classic movie (1999) last night (2024)
Everything explains now..

Best character creation system. ever.

La traduction est douteuse par moment (précisément les énigmes de comoedia). Le character design est très bon. Le gameplay est chill, pas prise de tête. L'univers est agréable.

J'ai nominé ce jeu dans la catégorie Moment de détente. (Novembre 2023)

Nomination : amour indéfectible 2022.
ROCK AND STONE !

Very nice combo of idling and hacking game.

Improving my script step by step, optimization here and there, i increase my range of server hacked.
I was happy when aside of the hack script, i made a stock market script.

the game include an augmentation feature which is a mini-prestige system.

Once loaded with a bunch of augment, you can hack the biggest server and after 70h of playtime, i just discovered there is another level of prestige (aka WorldDaemon)

And now i see there is much more thing to use in script : gang, crime, company, corporation, sleeves, ...
70h was definitely not enough. Let's go for 700h :)

Very nice and polished idle game.

Must listen Fatboy Slim while playing this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ub747pprmJ8)

3000 hours and this game just hit the first anniversary.
Which is insane.

Regardless this stat, this game is a good wargame.
