Cubicity: Slide Puzzle is a new puzzle game released on March 20th, 2019 by indie developer, Pirate Parrot. In this cube-tacular puzzler, the player takes control of different animals to help reach their destination and complete the level.
Content
If you have ever played with a sliding tile puzzle, this game is exactly that but in 3D. The levels increase in difficulty which is refreshing to have a decent challenge in a puzzle game and if difficulty isn’t your thing, you have the option to buy items to help make the levels easier.
Graphics
The graphics are cube-riffic and adorable which is perfect for this game and feels right. I found myself excited to unlock the next cubic creature as they all look unique and adorable.
Gameplay
Cubicity: Slide Puzzle is called a “slide” puzzle for a reason, the game wants you to literally slide the animals with your finger. This is a little weird as I don’t own a touch screen monitor for my computer (yet). The controls could feel better with an option to make it compatible with the keyboard but they work.
There are 95 challenging levels to slide through. Sounds
The music in the game is similar to that of K.K. Slider in Animal Crossing where it sounds like the animals are the ones singing the tunes which is adorable. As for the gameplay sounds, they were not memorable but with music like this, that’s just fine.
Content
This game has a decent amount of content including 95 Levels and more being released in the future. The developer has also announced a level designer which will be released at some point as well.
Final Thoughts
Cubicity: Slide Puzzle runs for $4.99 on Steam, which is a good price given the amount of levels and amount of cubic fun it offers. If you like puzzle games and animals, this one is worth taking a look at the next time you’re looking for a challenge. Happy Gaming!

Plantera is a farming-style clicker game that was released in 2016 by indie developer, VaragtP. With a “Very Positive” rating and over 3,000 reviews on Steam, it is easy to see why the developer has announced plans for a Plantera 2. Once finding out about this, myPotatoGames approached the developer to find out more information about the popular indie game sequel.
There is not much known about Plantera 2 as of yet but there are some adorable screenshots to help give an idea of what to expect. As of now, there are two animals that have been officially announced in the game. These two animals include an adorable round cat that throws up hairballs and fuzzy pink llamas that drop fur.
Excited for the new animals, myPotatoGames seeked out more information from the developer. @VaragtP told us that Plantera 2 will consist of about double the animals and plants as the first game. There will also be a new category of items and a big tree that will grow during gameplay and give a new kind of currency to use for plantation upgrades.
With this exciting news, we are looking forward to hearing about a release date which is still TBD. Stay tuned to myPotatoGames for more information on Plantera 2 and other games. Happy Gaming!

Two Point Hospital is a quirky hospital sim builder developed by Two Point Studios and published by SEGA. For those of you who recall playing EA’s Theme Hospital back in the late 90’s, Two Point Hospital will have you feeling nostalgia as the two games are very similar with Two Point Hospital feeling just like an updated version.
Story & Content:
Two Point Hospital lacks a story line but that doesn’t mean it lacks personality. Every patient that comes into your hospital will have a quirky disease that needs to be taken care of by an even wackier medical contraption.
Sound & Music:
While you are treating your patients, there are occasional announcements over the intercom and a radio station with a funny DJ. These little touches along with a very fitting cartoon art style, work well together to bring out the personality of Two Point Hospital and help you not miss a story line.
Gameplay:
The gameplay is quite simple and in-line with the usual sim builder games. Within 15 levels you build various rooms, hire staff to run them and once you have everything you need, the game will run itself while you watch. There are a few other options like making your hospital look visually appealing, making sure your patients don’t get bored, putting sanitation centers to insure the cleanliness of the hospital, and training your staff, but these aspects are also very limited. The simplicity of this game-play led for a very relaxing afternoon but I felt like the game needed more context to keep me playing it.
Final Thoughts:
The game runs for $34.99 on Steam and with the amount of content it has now, this price seems to be quite steep and (to those not accustomed to Tycoon games) might not be worth it. However, when this game can be found on sale, purchasing it would be recommended if you are looking for a funny and relaxing sim builder.
