Rita

Why in gods name does THIS game ONLY run at 25 FPS on my computer????? It's old but definitely not a potato Update: Given this runs very smoothly on my framework 13 laptop I think there is a serious optimization issue on older NV cards. Please fix

This was really fun for a (slightly) senior person. I heard it was fun from another older person as she was doing it as sort of brain-training as a change from Wordle The controls for a typical non-gamer were easy to master and I really enjoyed the crossword and puzzle feature. The music is also sweet and non-distracting.

Rita is a lovely story wrapped up in charming puzzles and moments that made me reflect on the people and games that matter most to me. One of the most positive and genuine games I have played in a long time! <3

Rita é um jogo de puzzle bastante especial e que transborda carisma. A ideia central dele é explorar com a galinha Rita diferentes vilas e coletar letras para resolver palavras-cruzadas do jornal da cidade. Conforme cada palavra é decifrada, Rita consegue novas habilidades (como pular e planar), ou mudanças no cenário acontecem (como uma escada e ponte serem construídas), permitindo a progressão e a busca por coletáveis que ficaram pra trás. A premissa das palavras-cruzadas pode parecer simples no início, mas o jogo adiciona consistentemente mecânicas criativas que mudam como o puzzles devem ser resolvidos, tornando a experiência instigante até o final. A história do jogo é bastante pessoal do seu criador, contando algumas lições de vida que sua avó ensinou e que o levaram ao caminho de game designer, culminando em momentos bem emocionantes no desenrolar da narrativa. Essa história é contada através de fases extras mais desafiadoras, e que são liberadas ao coletar penas ao explorar os cenários. Como brasileiro, tive dificuldade com algumas palavras por serem bem específicas, mas equipado com o Google Tradutor no lado foi divertido de aprendê-las. Recomendo demais a experiência! Baita jogo de puzzle, já quero conhecer os outros do estúdio.

cute and made with a lot of love

I remember seeing a preview of this game around a year ago and thought it was pretty neat, so I added it to my wishlist and honestly forgot about it. Then it released, I got the notification, watched the trailer, and fell in love with it again. Now that I can actually play the game, I can say it's amazing! It's a very chill game with lots of unique puzzle gimmicks, some of which I don't know how the devs thought of, and the art is simple but special. There's also lots of story in here, some of which is suprisingly deep. The puzzles are hard enough to make me struggle, but the game is so enjoyable that you just want to stick with it and figure them out. Can't wait to play through more of this!

LOVED this game! I LOVE puzzles so much and so a game purely based around puzzles with the cutest graphics AND an emotional storyline was literally perfect for me. I played this on my twitch stream, my chat loved helping me solve the puzzles and it really got us thinking, also 'cool mooless cows'. I just want to say how much I appreciate the thought into this game, rather than other puzzle games who just chuck in a puzzle. Every puzzle was obviously thought out and put it in for a reason (or else the story line didn't flow well) and I loved the variety and different complexities of them. I learnt how to do some new puzzles that I want to get better at too! The story throughout reminded me of my nana and how the little things that you grew up with from them stick around in the places and people wherever you go, after them, so there's always a part of them near, really resonated with me. I may have sobbed a little at the end lmao. Thank you for this beautiful game, I enjoyed playing this the whole time (even at the end when I was missing one damn feather and searched for nearly half an hour).
