How much does this game cost? Depends on the temperature
Finally, a game where the pricing structure is as clever as its mechanics. A Good Snowman is Hard to Build is an adorable puzzle game about a monster trying to make snowmen, from established puzzle-game designer Alan Hazelden, co-creator Benjamin Davis and composer Ryan Roth. It's charming, cute and surprisingly complex, and it's available for $8 right now, though that number will probably change tomorrow. You see, the game's price directly reflects the celsius temperature in London, Hazelden's and Davis' home base, from now through March 10. After such a rough winter for many people, A Good Snowman is Hard to Build offers a cool reason to be thankful for chilly temperatures.
Chemistry puzzler Sokobond hits Steam on July 21
The developers behind the critically-lauded Sokobond have revealed a Steam launch date for the chemistry-focused puzzle game: July 21. "Chemistry-focused puzzle game?" you mutter, scratching your head in bewildered confusion. Taking cues from nature itself, the developers behind Sokobond have crafted an elegantly simple puzzler where players are presented with a small grid full of atoms which they must link together to form molecules using the same basic rules you learned in high school science class. On debut, Sokobond will feature a $10 price tag and will be available for PC, Mac and Linux platforms. If you'd rather not wait to solve puzzles using the power of science, you can visit the Sokobond website to purchase a DRM-free copy which includes a key for the imminent Steam version.
