Spring Falls is a comfy minimalist puzzle game about pushing rocks to move water flow in order to hydrate flowers growing on a clifftop. From this post my highest recommendations are Celeste, Night in the Woods, and A Short Hike. I think that's everything I've played so far/prior at the moment, though I've already got a bunch downloaded that I want to check out as well. I'd recommend at least checking it out if you want some interesting platforming.ĭesktop Goose unleashes the obnoxious goose from goose game on your desktop to drag icons around and honk at you 10/10 I admittedly haven't played much if any of CSD2, but I lost a ridiculous amount of time to the original CSD.Īnd Yet It Moves is a cool-but-sometimes-infuriating platformer with a neat aesthetic where you play a paper cutout dude running around a world that you can spin around independently to create new ledges and pathways. The secret to CSD's addictive framework is that each recipe is almost like learning a fighting game move you'll have specific keys for specific ingredients (like say, N M C S for noodle-meat-cheese-sauce if you're making a lasagna) and as people request dishes with variations you'll learn to perform those specific key combos with muscle memory to keep slinging out the food. Similar to Snakebird in some ways.Ĭook Serve Delicious 2 is the second game in the absolute best restaurant management series. Puzzle Puppers is all about stretching out good long bois so they can eat meat and reach their doggy bowl and it quickly becomes infuriatingly difficult as more and more doggos need to be stretched and twisted around each other in each puzzle. Nice graphics, pretty goddamn hard, not bad. Nuclear Throne is a twin stick shooter roguelike. Incredibly goddamn tight controls, with unique physics and interactions you'll be learning all the way up until the end, and tons of secret/bonus content for when your ass isn't sufficiently kicked by the main levels. Can finish it in a couple of hours, recommended.Ĭeleste is masocore platforming at its finest. You uncover new items and checkpoints that let you make progress, with the overall puzzle always being "what can I do next with 60 seconds this time". Minit is a really clever top down not-really-Zelda-like where you only have 60 seconds from the time you load in until the time you die. If you've ever been a shiftless loser millennial returning home in failure you might just like it!! It's very much a "run around and talk to a bunch of people, then progress to the next day, then run around and talk to a bunch of people" kind of game but I absolutely love it and the characters who inhabit it. Night in the Woods is an incredible mood piece, and how much you like it will entirely depend on how much you gel with that mood. I don't think I ever got more than a few screens in when playing on iOS, but your mileage may vary. It's somewhere between X-Com and Death Road to Canada, giving you tactical isometric screens where you need to scavenge with your survivors and get your car to the next screen before you're overwhelmed with mutants and monsters. Overland is a game I checked out when Apple Arcade hit and did not personally care for much because it is GODDAMN BRUTAL. Clever mechanics when it comes to block manipulation so far, though I've only dug into it a little bit. WitchWay is a very cute block pushing puzzle MetroidVania where you traverse sewers and ruins to rescue bunnies. I played long enough to get fired though. Night of the Consumers has some hilarious style but the controls basically did not work at all on my surface keyboard / trackpad. A couple of hours of fun, really really nice. You basically run little quests for folks you run across and pick up feathers to increase your stamina on your overall goal of reaching the peak of the mountain. Here's what I've checked out so far (including some inclusions I've played elsewhere):Ī Short Hike is like a delightful mini-Breath of the Wild in an Animal Crossing/Night In The Woods style animal vibin' island. Mongrel just linked to this PICK ME A RANDOM GAME OUT OF THE 1,700 GAME BUNDLE page: īut still there's so much shit in here that i figured we can curate our own good stuff.
