Off the back of the success of the Silent Hill 2 Remake – a remake that blew my initial low expectations out of the water completely – Konami has announced that it is working with Bloober Team once more to remake the original Silent Hill from 1999. We don’t yet have a release window, however, with the game being announced as ‘in development’ from Bloober Team and Konami, with no additional details. Read more| VG247 Latest Articles Feed

After a few months of on and off track building in Railbound, it dawned to me that I will probably never finish the game and could just as well do my write-up. So get yourself a Ticket To Ride—no wait, it’s not that kind of game. Or is it? Judging a book by its cover won’t get you very far here, as the two dogs on the cover have nothing to do with the gameplay and the railroad in the background isn’t as broken as the ones you’ll have to fix in the levels. The premise of Railbound is...| Nintendo Switch on Jefklak's Codex

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker: Diorama Diamond Hunting. What originally started as a fun little diversion in Super Mario 3D World for the Wii U in 2013 a year later turned out into a Toad-filled fully fledged diorama puzzle game, although it was still locked behind a flopped console. Fortunately for Mario Universe sidekick lovers, in 2018, Treasure Tracker was ported to both the 3DS and Switch—of which I played the latter one—as an attempt to maximize that sweet sweet Toad love.

Zoo Keeper a.k.a. Animal Bejeweled. The rise and fall of web-based Flash games netted us a permanent addiction to tile-matching games ever since PopCap’s Bejeweled in 2001 and its innumerable subtle and not so subtle ripoffs. Zoo Keeper is one of the latter ones, initially also a Flash game built by the Japanese Robot Communications, which can still be played in your favorite browser thanks to Archive.org’s Flash-emulator. Success Corporation fleshed out the concept and released it for Ni...| jefklakscodex.com

I built a Sliding Puzzle web game. It was a lot of fun to come up with three different difficulty levels and write the code. The puzzle has a Rubik's cube-like feel to it, which makes the hard level particularly hard! The game supports mouse, touch, and keyboard. Getting things to work across different devices and types of browsers was a bit challenging -- especially figuring out ways to avoid touch gesture conflicts. Enjoy!| Alok Menghrajani

Came across another nice puzzle from Mr Gordon (@MrGordonMaths): First thing I noticed was that it was a pythagorean triple. My initial thought was that there might be a solution involving circle theorems, but then I realised that as an area was given this might be the best route. As angle QPS IS 90, then […]| cavmaths
I’ve been looking through my saved puzzles again and I found this nice little one in the maths newsletter from Chris Smith (@aap03102): It’s a nice little question that took me some thinking about.

Today I want to look at another puzzle I found on math walks (from Traci Jackson @traciteacher): I love these 1-9 puzzles, and thought I’d have have a crack. First I considered the 9, with the 1 gone already that means that the 9 must share a line with the 2 and the 3 to […]| cavmaths

Freaky Trip: A Bizarre But Buggy Diversion. Go through untypically typical places and solve totally absurd riddles on your rescue mission. That’s Freaky Trip’s premise according to developer and publisher Red Deer Games. Given the single screen point & click nature to solve these freaky puzzles, that almost sounds like a Gobliiins game! My wife found this one in the Nintendo Switch eStore during an indie showcase. For just for $1.99 , we were more than eager to put on our adventurous shoe...| jefklakscodex.com
Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes. If you’ve ever wondered what a “Puzzle RPG” might look like, you should play Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes, a successful blend of tactical puzzling with light RPG elements that perfectly fits on Nintendo’s mobile DS platform. Via Jefklak's Codex| jefklakscodex.com
Puzzle Quest a.k.a. Roleplaying Bejeweled. What do you get when you combine an animal zoo with the Bejeweled gemstones in a 2D grid? Zoo Keeper (2004). What do you get when you combine RPG mechanics with those same jewels? Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords (2007) and a bazillion successors, spin-offs and rip-offs such as Puzzle Quest Galactrix, Gems of War, and even a Marvel Puzzle Quest. As an RPG fan but a match-three skeptic, I was long aware of this game but dismissed it as too casu...| jefklakscodex.com

Lode Runner: The Legend Returns Review. Core mechanics A concept almost as old as Pong, the Godfather of nowadays gaming. You climb up and down little ladders, collecting various forms of loot. And guess what - you’re being chased by blood thirsty (well yeah, sort of) eurhm, red humanoid shaped things. On your way through each puzzle, there are multiple ways of dealing with them. From digging a hole and watching earth grow as fast as it can, squashing the enemy, to picking up little and ver...| jefklakscodex.com
Agent A: A (Quite Good) Puzzle in Disguise. Agent A’s subtitle, A Puzzle in Disguise, speaks volumes. Here’s a (quick) game that plays like a point & click adventure game, but is actually a giant escape room. You are Agent A and you’ve just witnessed your boss being killed by an evil miss LeRouge with her kitty—and also, more importantly, an expert in (counter-)espionage. Her primary task consists of… “taking care” of Agent A. The bulk of the game takes place in and around her h...| jefklakscodex.com
Unpacking: Meditative Monotomy. Picture this. You buy and play a video game in which you tidy up your home. Marie Kondo would be proud. In Unpacking, all you do is move from one place to the next, open the boxes after the move, and put stuff where it belongs: books in the bookcase, pots and pans in the kitchen sink cabinet, drawing material in the desk drawers, and so forth. This sounds very strange and perhaps even dull, and yet, Unpacking by Witchbeam won numerous awards. Why is this so app...| jefklakscodex.com
Flipping Death. Collecting Skull and Bones—no, not the 2001 Cypress Hill album—is part of the October/November Halloween fun. Flipping Death, a 2018 game from Zoink, a Swedish developer I never heard of before, perfectly fits your autumny morbid craving. Zoink is related to Image & From, well known for the SteamWorld games. Flipping Death is hard to describe and categorize: it’s weird, in a loving way—until you take control of the main character and have to move about to solve puzzles...| jefklakscodex.com
