Dome Keeper
Roguelikes arent usually my style, but the mines call out to me, and that makes things more interesting for me, and the win condition is usually tied to the mining not the combat, so that makes me a happy fox.

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.
-
The Planet Crafter
A game about terraforming a planet. “Wait isn’t that a lot of games?” Yes, but this one does it in a first person survival format, not an overhead strategy or management format. Oh and unlike most first person survival games, there isn’t anything that’s explicitly trying to kill you.
-
Linkito
Not too much to say about this one, it’s just a very pretty puzzle game about connecting components together. Some of the puzzles shift into zachlike territory, but it’s more of a puzzle since you still interact with your creation and rewire it on the fly mid puzzle.

14 Minesweeper Variants 2
Funny minesweeper exccept oh christ it got worse. Now with a new even harder* mode (which was back-ported to the origina, so thats quite nice.)
-
Moonlight Pulse
Furry character switching metroidvania about fighting a virus invasion inside the body of a giant celestial world turtle? Sounds like a fun time.
-
Ato
Ninja cat metroidvania where you just want to find your kidnapped child and wife. With a whole story told without a single word in a large connected world of stunningly beautiful pixel art, this is definitely up there on the list of very good metroidvanias.
-
Chants of Sennaar
A (mostly) puzzle game about language. Specifically languages you don’t know. And if you’re thinking “oh this sounds like Trunic,” then you’re a little mistaken because the main goal of the game here is to learn and understand the languages. The game helps with this.

Agent A: A puzzle in disguise
Off schedule post here because the game is currently like, 90% off on steam summer sale. Go play, you’ll like. Funky lil indie point and click puzzle game with a surprisingly charming aesthetic and voice acting, and a fun story that ends with sabotaging a submarine, which is…. impressively topical to say the least.
-
Buck Up And Drive
If you’ve ever played classic sega racing games like OutRun or Super Hang On, this will be right up your alley. It’s a back to form classic rally racing game, except this one comes packaged with a huge massive important DRIFT button, and quarter circle bullshit.
-
Discolored
A short little point and click puzzle game. Some of the puzzles are a tiny bit obtuse, but my partner and I solved it in 2-3 hours without a walkthrough or anything. Doesn’t overstay it’s welcome.
-
TRI: Of Friendship and Madness
Tri is a platformer, one with a very slightly off atmosphere, and in some cases a bit of non-euclidean map design, but its a puzzle platformer nontheless. Your goal is to find your missing fox friend by adventuring through areas, solving puzzles, and unlocking new tools.
