"Bling: Fortune Memories" is not a platformer, as the developer weirdly tries to describe it. I think probably Steam Direct should have a test where the "developer" is asked "What kind of game is it?" and if they get the answer wrong, they're not allowed to publish their game. Instead, it's a 2D minimalist-ish action puzzle "adventure" game. It's not really an adventure game either. What do you do in the game? You explore a temple filled with traps and puzzles, and your goal is to find your missing brother. The gameplay revolves around tactical grid-based movement, powerups and a healthy range of other gimmicks... basically shuffling around a square grid map, avoiding hazards and doing action-timing-movement puzzles to complete each level. This would have been seen as truly remarkable... in 1992. The game features really lacklustre 2D visuals (does the developer not know 3D graphics became mainstream in the mid-1990s?). Gamers don't spend thousands of dollars on gaming rigs and the latest 3D graphics cards to play 2D games. Even mobile phones and game consoles can do 3D graphics now. There's no excuse. So this looks like an old 1990's Adobe Flash game that you might play in a web browser, and the problem there is obviously Steam wasn't intended to try compete with Chrome and Firefox. If it can be done in a web browser, it's not even close to a cutting edge PC gaming experience. That's a problem. On the matter of pricing and value for gamers, most "free" games on Steam aren't really free. There's often nasty mobile app cash shops, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of shady pricing schemes that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service to themselves, and the gaming industry, and should be applauded. Of course, just because something is free, doesn't necessarily mean it's valuable, or something you might want to spend your time on. Despite having no up-front cost, this failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 5 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Not this time. This isn't worth downloading. While this won't cost you any money, you get what you pay for, and sometimes, even when the game is free, it's still not enough.

Surprisingly fun and challenging for a free game. The grid-based movement and invisibility mechanic make every level feel like a puzzle. It’s simple, smart, and gets tougher as you go. If you like strategic games with a minimalist vibe, give this one a shot!
