Cookie Jam vs J.U.L.I.A.: Among the Stars
Cookie Jam
Cookie Jam is one of the few but popular match-3 puzzle game that has a following that rivals that of any games from King. Developed by Jam City, Cookie Jam provides the fun match-3 gameplay you'd expect from a... well, match-3 game but interestingly, you'll actually be matching sweet desserts that match the orders you receive from your customers. The game also offers varying challenges, which mostly include obstacles set up by the delinquent gingerbread man with some rather special level goals to achieve too.Cookie Jam's shot to fame can be mainly credited to its unique level goals and challenges but the game has put in some serious effort in making each level as engaging as the one before. If you're looking for something other than a Saga game to play, we would strongly recommend Cookie Jam.
J.U.L.I.A.: Among the Stars
J.U.L.I.A.: Among the Stars is truly a game that's very unique. Despite its apparent appearance - it does look like "just another space sim", doesn't it? - the game is a fun and innovative, story-driven adventure game with a heavy dose of mystery added for good measure. In this game, you'll get to step into the spacesuit of Rachel Manners, a 35-year-old astrobiologist who initially embarked on a critical mission to explore and collect data on potentially habitable planets with a crew of of other elite and hand-picked scientists, but somehow, things went awry, and she found herself alone with J.U.L.I.A., the space probe's rather tempermental AI and Mobot, the reconnaissance robot.Driven by a need to know, you'll need to help Rachel search for clues which might potentially explain the mission's failure and the missing crew. You'll also get to travel to six widely varied planets where you can then get to work trying to reveal their secrets. There will be plenty of puzzles and mini-games in your journey as well just to give your brain some intense workout from time to time.
That said, the puzzles in the game can be a tad bit frustrating to solve, mainly because it's the sort of "trial and error" puzzle-type. So, unless you have a thing or two against this specific game mechanism, J.U.L.I.A.: Among the Stars is a really nice puzzle-adventure game to buy and play.
