Witch Stone

Lucky me gets to write the first review for Witch Stone, which is a 2D mobile app tier clicker/physics puzzle from known asset flippers, Piece of Voxel. This is a basic retro puzzle game that plays like Bust-A-Move but without shooting, you just click on balls to make them fall and if they fall the right way they pop.

The artwork is minimal and looks to be phoned in/asset flipped (not a surprise, this is Piece of Voxel we're dealing with).

There's no working full screen mode, in fact, if you hit alt+enter, Piece of Voxel actually go out of their way to insult PC gamers by telling you they won't allow you to try switch to full screen ("Don't even try, i won't let you do it), then terminate the game. Insulting your customers is not a winning strategy, but then this is Piece of Voxel, who make a living stealing other people's work and trying to sell it on Steam as a scam. What's that? Oh yes:

Piece of Voxel are known asset flippers and have previously taken other developers work and put it on Steam in an attempt to scam gamers and get paid for someone else's effort. An example of Piece of Voxel doing this is Top Truck Driver, which is really "Hill Racing Template", written by the actual developers, Janko Knez. Also, Hoples, which is really "Pixel Adventure 1", developed by Pixel Frog.

Asset flips are harmful to the gaming industry. They're nothing but cash grabs, and they harm genuine indie developers by reducing their visibility on Steam. Because this game has all the same low quality as an asset flip, as well as the other problems with it, it's impossible to recommend.

A game in the "three in a row" genre, which has its own characteristics: you need to destroy certain blocks in order to collect chains. With each level, there will be less and less time, and the conditions will become more difficult.

Can you please the grouchy witch and complete all the tasks?
