Lux & Mad Tea Party

Lux can be described as a combination of Luminaria and Lumin Lacuna. It uses the same beam/mirror mechanics as Luminaria, but is controlled in a 3D, third-person environment like Lumin Lacuna.  Not counting the short tutorial, this game only has 2 levels, meaning I don't have much to say about it.  The engine is a bit glitchy, as I got caught on a few cliff sides, but that usually helped me, preventing me from falling into an abyss, so maybe it was intentional.  It's just a very simple game with nothing special to offer, sorry to say.  It might be worth checking out for the 3D art, but even that's not too impressive.

Then of course there's Mad Tea Party, a game which held my attention for maybe 5 seconds before I ragequit.  The framerate is laughable.  I only got to what I'm guessing is about 10fps, and my computer has no problem with typical mainstream games.  On top of that, the platforms sometimes just choose not to exist.  I jumped a grand total of 3 times while playing this game, and twice I fell through the floor.  Back to the drawing board, guys.

That's all I got for now.  Until next time, stay efficient.
