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.

This article is based on a very early demo version of the game.
Littlewood is a new RPG where you play the role of a hero who has completed their quest of defeating the evil wizard, saved the world of Solemn, and is now trying to rebuild the town of Littlewood. Being developed by the indie developer Sean Young, Littlewood brings an interesting spin to the usual town building simulator by melding together aspects of familiar games like Minecraft and Animal Crossing.
In Littlewood, you get to fully customize your town. This doesn’t just include building homes for townsfolk, plotting farming areas, furnishing your home AND the townsfolk’s homes, but it also includes customizing the elevation of the land and choosing where to put bodies of water. This interesting element of customizing the terrain brings an extra touch to making the town your own.
Along with customizing the terrain of your town, there are also tons of activities to keep you busy like gathering resources, catching bugs/fish, farming, cooking, crafting, buying/selling goods, building relationships with new friends, and even becoming a master of tarot card readings.
Picture above is some of the interesting townsfolk you will get to know in Littlewood. Littlewood is scheduled for release in May 2019 and already has a Steam page, so there’s not much more of a wait. If you’d like to check out the game right now, there is a free demo over on the game’s Kickstarter.
Be sure to stay tuned to myPotatoGames for the latest information on Littlewood and other games. Happy Gaming!

Now you’ll have to excuse us for wishing the year away. But following on from the announcement of a certain much awaited Switch game, we decided it would be nice to compile a list of all the games of 2019 that we are very much looking forward to playing.
Ikenfell
Ikenfell is a JRPG game which utilizes turn-based and timing-based battle mechanics. The game’s publisher is Humble Bundle, and its platforms are PC, Mac and possibly Linux. Humble Bundle are helping to polish the game, market it, and will hopefully add it to Steam in 2019. It was hoped that the game would be released this year, but the developers recently announced the postponing of it until next year. This is because they want to deliver a top-quality, flawless game, and would rather development took a little longer to achieve this, as opposed to rushing the game and compromising its quality.
Mineko’s Night Market
Mineko’s Night Market is a cute cat-themed upcoming game for PC, Mac and Switch by Meowza games. You play as Mineko, a girl who has just moved to a superstitious island overrun with cats. The aim of the game is to find materials, craft items and sell them at the Night Market. You can befriend villagers, fish, undertake quests, play mini-games, plus more! Whilst it was initially hoped that the game would be released in late 2018, its release has now been pushed back until 2019.
Kingdom Hearts III
Kingdom Hearts III is an upcoming action RPG game that is being developed and published by Square Enix. The game will initially be released for PS4 and Xbox One. Kingdom Hearts III is set in an array of Disney and Pixar worlds. The game features Sora, a young boy and unknowing heir to a spectacular power. Sora is accompanied by popular Disney characters such as Donald Duck and Goofy who attempt to stop an evil force known as the Heartless from invading and taking over.
New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe
Super Mario Bros U was one of the top games released for the WiiU. Like Mario Kart 8, the game has got the Deluxe treatment and will soon be making its way to the popular Switch console. Choose to play as Mario, Luigi or Toad, or as Nabbit and Toadette, who also feature in the game. The ‘New Super Luigi U’ WiiU game expansion comes included in the Switch’s deluxe version.
Animal Crossing Switch
After the wait became almost unbearable, Nintendo nonchalantly confirmed Animal Crossing for Nintendo Switch during their recent Nintendo Direct. Whilst not much information about game content is known yet, the game is set to be released in 2019.
Whilst we await more information about the game, here’s a meme to entertain you:
Yoshi’s Crafted World
Yoshi’s Crafted World (formerly known by it’s working title of ‘Yoshi’) is an upcoming side-scrolling platform game for Nintendo Switch. It was announced at E3 2017, and is set to be released in Spring 2019. Like prior Yoshi games, players can use Yoshi’s tongue to eat enemies or other objects, turn them into eggs, or throw them outwardly into the level. The game features 3D characters on a 2D plane and allows players to view the game from two opposing viewpoints.
Ori and the Will of the Wisps
Ori and the Will of the Wisps is an upcoming platform-adventure Metroidvania game. It is being developed by Moon Studios, published by Microsoft (for Windows and Xbox One), and will hopefully be released at some point in 2019. The game is a sequel to the critically acclaimed 2015 game Ori and the Blind Forest. The story is based on a new adventure where Ori seeks to discover the world beyond the forest of Nibel, uncover the truths of the lost ones, and unearth his true destiny.
