Important note: Although I only post positive reviews, that doesn't mean every game automatically gets one. My biggest layer of quality control is that I only review games I think I'm likely to enjoy. Even then, only around 75% of games reviewed have received my recommendation. Long story short? Just making it to this list is a mark of quality.
Welcome Back, Commander
06 February 2025
Welcome Back, Commander is a turn-based tactical/survival game for the hardcore fans. It's shorter but more replayable than other Chromosome Evil games with roguelike elements. Still very challenging.
Keep Driving
05 February 2025
Keep Driving is a challenging management sim with driving-themed turn-based combat and challenges. Features engaging characters, some absolutely gorgeous pixel art, and a great soundtrack.
100 Hidden Cats: Playground
04 February 2025
Playground features only the one map this time but it's larger and packed full of 200 cats to find! Well, some of those cats are chicken and fish. Awesome map. Also features interactive hidey-holes!
My Little Life
02 February 2025
My Little Life is like a side-view Sims game, except built to be an idler, and featuring absolutely adorable micro pixel graphics. Excellent range of furniture & decorations. Surprisingly addictive!
Cat Detective: Albert Wilde
01 February 2025
Cat Detective: Albert Wilde is a 3d visual novel. Some of the characters look & sound a bit weird but it's a good looking game overall. Writing could be better but definitely has its funny moments.
Mekkablood: Quarry Assault
26 January 2025
Mekkablood ain't perfect - it can be visually repetitive and the interface is a bit wonky - but it is fast-paced, action-packed, and full of attitude. Each new level is more fun than the last.
Fate of Fire: Kyvedy Guardiah
16 January 2025
Kyvedy Guardiah is an ARPG full of lore and a simple gameplay loop but a range of different classes and mission types to play with as you explore the tower. Combat's simplistic but can be challenging.
Super Puzzled Cat
14 January 2025
Super Puzzled Cat is awesome, a real gem. It's a brilliant puzzle/platformer hybrid with a huge range of puzzle/power-up mechanics, environmental challenges. Success requires brainpower & precision.
Pollen
13 January 2025
I've played other games with similar gameplay and wasn't a fan but Pollen's unique aesthetics make it work. Really love the whole vibe. Pollen's tough as nails, I didn't get far, but it was fun
Morningtide Motel
12 January 2025
Morningtide Hotel seems to be a visual novel masquerading as a hotel manager. The game mechanics are obscure or lacking but the characters are interesting and the story drawn out but engaging.
