Cipher Zero is a logic game where the initial simplicity masks a snowballing level of fiendish complexity. — The Geekly Grind Minimalist logic puzzler Cipher Zero teaches you its rules without any conventional instructions.

Minimalist logic game @cipherzerogame.com from Ben Cole Wu and @zapdot.com is fantastic! Simple on the surface but ultimately quite complex. 9/10

Thank you @thinkygames.com for helping me discover this gem!

The Naked Gun is a brilliant return of the franchise, along with its signature comedic style. — The Geekly Grind Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson are perfectly cast in The Naked Gun, a film that knows exactly what it needs to do and pulls it off perfectly.

The Naked Gun was nearly perfect. I had so much fun watching it and am so happy it stuck to the kind of comedy the franchise represents.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps Review — The Geekly Grind While First Steps isn’t the movie that will turn things around for Marvel, things are moving in the right direction with the best on-screen version of the Fantastic Four.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps was a lot of fun. Finally, a good adaptation for these heroes. I loved the look of the film and the cast.

No, you see, Zod would only destroy the people that DESERVED destroying. All the “good” people would be left.

They don't want Superman, they want Zod.

Superman [Review] — The Geekly Grind Is James Gunn’s Superman the fresh start the DCU needs? A heartfelt reboot, a stellar cast, and a chilling new Lex - here’s why this might be the Man of Steel’s most important flight yet.

"With this first step, James Gunn sets a hopeful tone for the DCU - one that blends sincerity with spectacle, and myth with meaning. Whether or not the broader franchise sticks the landing remains to be seen, but if this is the new foundation, the future looks bright." #superman #lookup

Spray Paint Simulator [Review] — The Geekly Grind Spray Paint Simulator is a cozy experience that echoes Powerwash Simulator, but in the end forges it’s own identity.

After a period of physical illness and burnout, I have a new review out. Don't dismiss Spray Paint Simulator as a carbon copy of Powerwash Simulator, it does it's own thing and is quite fun!

Superman soars through the sky, carrying both a child and a suited astronaut. As the child questions him about saving the astronaut, Superman answers with quiet determination. The final panel shows a close-up of Superman’s boots and cape as he responds to whether he’ll help everyone: “No. But I’m going to try.” The artwork is emotive and grounded, underscoring Superman’s compassion and moral commitment. Here’s a transcription of the dialogue: ⸻ Child: “Why didn’t he die? Did you find the cure? Is that why he was saying thank you?” Superman: “Yes.” Child: “Was it hard to find the cure?” Superman: “Yes.” ⸻ Child: “Why did you help him?” Superman: “Because he needed it.” Child: “Don’t other people need help?” Superman: “They do.” Child: “Are you going to help everyone?” ⸻ Superman (close-up on his feet and cape): “No. But I’m going to try.”

An all-timer.
