Boxes: Lost Fragments
You’d be forgiven for seeing this game and thinking it’s related somehow to The Room. Ness did. And well, thats because it is, kind of.
-
Train Station Renovation
A game about renovating train stations, very simple premise, mostly simple (though repetitive gameplay loop), perfect to occupy the time when sick.

2024 Mosaic Retrospective
Quick one for the start of the year. Mosaic is a type of puzzle similar to a minesweeper, but with all numbers visible from the start. Each number indicates the amount of coloured cells in the 3×3 region centered on the number.
-
TEVI
A slightly less hard-core Rabi Ribi, with a tighter story and more elaborate combat system. And yes, I compare to Rabi Ribi because this isn’t just a spiritual sequel, it’s also by the same developers.

Turbo Fat
My hear-me-out game of the year. Very creative stacker game where you make boxes to feed cakes to cute hungry creatures.

Tetrachroma
If you’re ever feeling bored of standard Tetris and want a game that adds interesting ideas while feeling like a complete polished product and not a haphazardly thrown together unity project, definitely give this Tetris-Meets-Reversi game a go.

Bō: Path of the Teal Lotus
A cute metroidvania about small but powerful creature in big world, if you like Ori or Hollow Knight, and have an interest in Japanese folklore, then this one is for you.

Satisfactory
This game has been consuming and is on track to utterly ruin my entire life. Absolutely recommend if you like making satisfying factories.

Shapez 2
A (relatively) recently released factory building game about processing shapes. You get dropped on a platform in a huge empty void, with some patches of squares and circles nearby, and it’s your job to cut, spin, stack, and paint them before delivering these new processed shapes into the giant hub in the center.

Muse Dash
A rhythm game styled like some kind of autoscroller fighting game. If you’ve heard of UNBEATABLE, this game is that but with more enemy variety.

UNBEATABLE [white label]
A demo of the yet-to-be-released UNBEATABLE, a story game where every stage is a rhythm game level. If you’ve heard of Muse Dash, this game is that but with better animations.
