Okay game that is full of minor issues that end up ruining your experience. * Brute-forcing the puzzle usually works a lot better than trying to carefully plan ahead because there are way too many things to consider. Not my kind of puzzle, but it could be yours. Those puzzles seem nice enough if you like that style, which I don't. - Gamepad support is bad. It kinda works, except there's no pause button, and navigating the menus is awful. - Every time I beat a level or unlock an achievement, the games produces a Window Security pop-up trying to login to their servers. Every. Single. Time. - None of the options from settings actually work. You can change them, like fullscreen or volume, but there's no actual change. - Some optional side-puzzles make no sense at all, even for those who solved them. - Game is terribly flawed and seems to have been abandoned. Even if you have already purchased this, I'd say "Don't waste your time".

フィールド全体を回転させて、散らばっている卵を集めるパズルゲームです。 かいてんパティシエと違い、アクション要素は控えめなので、じっくり考えながらパズルを楽しみたい方にお勧めです。

Trying to sleep, and all I can think about is how the walls of my house line up, and potential kiwi flight paths...

EDIT 11/21/21 The Dev has checked out and the game's basic functionality is collapsing see the Steam Forum: as you complete every level the game tries to run some netcode to put you on the leaderboards, but the web site it's trying to reach is defunct. This causes a weird pop-up the interrupt gameplay. You can still get past it and play on -- and leaderboards do still work, technically, but the game's is clearly not being maintained and I can't recommend it at this point. Switching to thumbs down, sadly. Original review follows. --------- Mallow Drops is a cute little puzzler where your goal is collect 3 Kiwi-eggs on each of 80 levels, then reach a door to exit and move on. It's well-built (mine froze only once in ~18h of playtime, when I was really button-mashing for no good reason), and the soundtrack is high-quality even if it isn't a vast soundscape. Graphics are serviceable, with a little variation between 4 "Worlds." I got it on sale, and I don't think I'd be thrilled if I paid the full price, but it's worth a playthrough. Most levels can be beaten in <30s or maybe 1m, after you know what to do. Puzzling through them for the first time can take quite a while, but there's nothing insanely difficult here. There are leaderboards for quickest solve, if you're into that. You use AWD keys to rotate the board, and ←↑→↓ to move around it. You can't change keybindings in the minimal settings that are available. The basic idea is to use rotations to move blocks out of the way, or to move them *into* the way to give yourself landing-spots and enable movement around the board. (When you press an arrow, you fly in that direction until you hit a barrier.) Some new mechanics get added in each World. There's no undo, and since stuff slides around while you rotate the board, you can't always simulate undo by rotating back. But there are very few levels where you can get yourself truly stuck -- usually, with enough keypresses you can get back to an old configuration -- so the solution rarely requires an intricate set of steps that you can muck up. In any case, since most levels are pretty short, it's not that terrible to re-start anyway. Achievements were the real grind -- with 1 of them remaining utterly incomprehensible. That annoys me greatly, but otherwise, its a nice game. Most of my hours of gameplay were for achievement hunting. I'd estimate the true length of the game at around 5 hours if you stick to it (quicker if you're neurotic -- if you magically solve everything on your first try, then it'll be <2h). But it could be a nice game to pick up on and off instead of bashing it. For more puzzle game reviews, news & everything puzzle-related, follow Puzzle Lovers & check out our Steam group.

Mallow Drops, developed by Gritfish and published by Green Stripe Snake, is a deceptively simple yet ingeniously designed puzzle game that blends physics-based movement with gravity manipulation to create a deeply satisfying experience. The game centers on two kiwi birds on a quest to recover their lost eggs scattered throughout a world shattered into fragments. Beneath its lighthearted, storybook aesthetic lies a series of intricate and sometimes fiendish puzzles that demand sharp spatial reasoning and foresight. It is a game that begins as something charming and approachable but quickly reveals a cerebral core that tests patience, planning, and adaptability in equal measure. The foundation of Mallow Drops is built on two key mechanics: momentum and rotation. Rather than walking or running, the player slides in one of the four cardinal directions until colliding with an obstacle or wall, reminiscent of ice puzzles found in classic games. This creates a natural sense of inertia — once you move, you commit. The second mechanic, the ability to flip or rotate the entire level, turns this otherwise straightforward movement system into a playground of shifting perspectives. Each rotation changes which direction is “down,” transforming floors into walls and ceilings into pathways. The interplay between sliding movement and rotating gravity lies at the heart of the challenge, requiring you to think several moves ahead and visualize the consequences of every decision before committing to it. Each level feels like a mechanical riddle where success depends on seeing the invisible logic that holds the world together. As the game progresses, the puzzles grow increasingly layered. Early levels serve as introductions to the mechanics, gently teaching players the rules of motion and rotation, but later stages demand far greater precision and experimentation. New obstacles, such as blocks that move or hazards that react to gravity shifts, keep the experience fresh while also raising the stakes. Yet, despite the growing complexity, Mallow Drops maintains an admirable sense of fairness. Mistakes rarely feel punishing thanks to its generous checkpoint system and quick restarts, which encourage players to experiment without fear of frustration. This balance of accessibility and challenge is one of its greatest strengths — the game respects the player’s intelligence while keeping the experience fluid and forgiving enough to remain engaging. Visually, Mallow Drops stands out through its soft and inviting presentation. The art style is colorful and stylized, with rounded edges and smooth animation that complement the game’s playful tone. The kiwis are charmingly expressive, and each environment, though constructed on a grid, feels alive with subtle detail. The visual clarity also serves a functional purpose; it ensures that the player can always discern what’s interactive and what’s background decoration — a vital trait for a game that relies on precision and spatial reasoning. The sound design is understated yet effective, with a whimsical soundtrack that accompanies the puzzle-solving without ever becoming intrusive. The cheerful tunes and soft sound effects help maintain a relaxed atmosphere even as the puzzles grow more mentally demanding, striking a balance between tension and tranquility. Where Mallow Drops stumbles slightly is in its brevity and repetition. The game’s central mechanics are so tightly constructed that there’s little room for significant evolution beyond variations on existing ideas. While each new level introduces clever twists, seasoned puzzle players may find that the overall experience feels shorter than expected. Most players can complete the game within a few hours, and once the solutions are understood, replay value is limited. A few puzzles can also verge on opaque, requiring experimentation that feels less like problem-solving and more like trial-and-error guessing. However, these moments are infrequent, and the overall pacing remains brisk and satisfying. The difficulty curve is gentle yet deliberate, ensuring that even players new to the genre can feel a sense of mastery by the end. Despite its modest scale, Mallow Drops succeeds through the elegance of its design and the charm of its presentation. It distills the essence of puzzle-solving into a focused and creative experience, relying on pure mechanical ingenuity rather than narrative or spectacle. Every level feels handcrafted with care, each solution unfolding like a moment of revelation once the logic clicks into place. It is a rare puzzle game that rewards both methodical planning and spontaneous experimentation, and its forgiving structure ensures that learning remains enjoyable rather than exhausting. For players seeking a thoughtful, self-contained challenge wrapped in whimsy and warmth, Mallow Drops offers an experience as clever as it is endearing — a compact gem that proves sometimes the simplest ideas yield the most satisfying puzzles. Rating: 7/10

A strangely addictive fun game with very well designed puzzles. Mechanics are relevant to the core, and the controls are smooth. Its got no game-breaking bugs, so that's definitely a plus.

This super cute puzzle game is also devestatingly clever, much more nuanced than I first registered. The interplay between character movement and the moving objects as you rotate the screen offer amazing new ways to conquer many of the levels. I've only just scratched the surface of the game (I've just started on the second world, level 21), but there are already a raft of mechanics that have been subtley introduced across the levels. Chasing the high scores is really, REALLY fun! Check it out!

Had the opportunity to beta test this intriguing little puzzler. So far, it's required plenty of mental acuity while never feeling punishing or frustrating - there's always something to do. The cute aesthetic and musical score help polish an already sparkling set of core mechanics, making the game absolutely perfect to sit down and chill out with while still throwing you plenty of headscratchers to keep you engaged.
