A superb puzzle/strategy game. Gorgeous minimalist visuals and a wonderful soundscape by Disasterpeace (It Follows, Hyperlight Drifter, The Floor is Jelly etc.).
Connect together stations of different shapes such that passengers of those shapes can all reach a matching station. Balance the length of your routes and the variety of stations on your lines, choose between various upgrades at the end of each week to best improve your overall network, and importantly never let a station get too overcrowded.
A quality game, well worth playing.

An incredibly polished puzzle "platformer" with stunning visuals, gorgeous locations and levels and a chilled out soundtrack. Navigate through Escher-esque floating chunks of urban landscape by moving your bobble-headed, plunger-footed character over walls, floors, and ceilings to turn on switches and open up new doors to travel through.
Gain metroidvania like abilities as you progress to add different challenges and open up access to new areas in previous levels. The puzzles are interesting and the gameplay is superb, and made even better by the wonderful environments it occurs in.
Youropa is a massively underappreciated puzzler

Decent environment, fairly solid controls and some interesting enough minigames like a treasure-diving/treasure hunt mechanic. But very quickly felt like a bit too much of a grind was involved and the base building didn't grab me

You say frick a lot. Drive a bulldozer, crane and other vehicles across perilous mini levels - but not with a keyboard or controller, but by operating set of "realistic" controls with your mouse. Turn keys, press buttons, push levers and awkwardly wrangle your vehicle to complete goals and reach its destination before the timer runs out. Entertaining for a while
Such a wonderful game. A really clever twist on the Sokoban design, a cute and charming visual style, and a peaceful soundtrack. What more could you want?
Oh and lots of snowmen with names and hats. Also good.

What a game, maybe a bit clunky in places but had some really cool weapons, a killer soundtrack and an awesome atmosphere. Shame it never got a sequel to lend the ideas a little more polish.

A beautiful puzzle game with a quality soundtrack, all about visualising geometry and carefully thinking about how objects move. Place a marker on a system and watch it draw out a path as the systems moves or loops - and figure out where to place the marker to draw a specific shape. Watching how parts of these systems move is incredibly satisfying - though I felt a decline in the tangible quality of the puzzles after just the first set of ten.. But the visual and musical charm kept me playing nevertheless

Very simple arena shooter. Waves of simple enemies appear, you get given new guns, you kill all the enemies with the new guns. Nothing particularly fancy or creative, but very solid in its controls and was definitely worth the low pricetag for a few hours of fun
2021
Technically well made with decent visuals, strong voice acting and solid sound design.. but falls part in the gameplay which is very limited and very single-pace
Really cool, text-based, kingdom management game. Build armies, improve your kingdom, fight with other factions and explore the realm. With just a little imagination the world of Warsim will spring to life.

An entertaining puzzler about moving atoms around and binding them into compounds. The design is neat and the theme is lovely but the puzzles (while very solid) aren't the most exciting in the genre.
2018
The exact sort of frustrating, chaotic mess that's fun to play with friends. Looks super simple, is actually fiendishly difficult. Not quite as good as something like Bloody Traplands because the gameplay is more limited and there's zero independence, but fun nevertheless.
2018
Clever design in the individual puzzles and overall concept and can be very tricky. I didn't fall in love with it, and got frustrated at times when my brain just wasn't getting to grips with the stupid pipes that just wouldn't get into the dang positions that I wanted them to be in - but that's my fault, not the game's.
Superb tactical gameplay. Clever mechanics that you can use to plan out turns with precision, and an exciting theme that makes your actions immensely satisfying. The deckbuilding element felt a little underwhelming, but a lot of fun to play.
2021
So many spells, so many skills and so many enemies. Rift Wizard is gloriously deep in its tactics and strategy. One of the best games of 2021.
