Suika Game but with pool input and physics. It’s a cool little idea, certainly executed very well and fairly priced. You likely won’t get tonnes of playtime out of it, but it’s fun. Imagine it would be cool on mobile or handheld.

Extremely addictive deckbuilding bullet-heaven roguelite tower defense. Cool styling and very much a one-more-run type of experience - especially with friend leaderboards! Interesting cards, abilities and characters, but I feel like tower upgrades could afford to be more than just stat bumps. That said, really good game.

Fun little game where your mouse cursor is your character and your weapon - swipe around, kill stuff, choose upgrades. Not heaps of metaprogression, and visibility can become a bit of an issue, but the loop is fun, art well-made and it’s fairly priced. I think if it got a few content updates it’d be a cool game to hop back into every now and then.

Somehow, two years after it was first released, a silly little watermelon game captures the streamer zeitgeist. It’s simple but addictive, and for whatever reason is just as enjoyable to watch (or at least have on in the background) as it is to play. It’s also way cheaper than an actual watermelon, so give it a go.

I’m not a fighting games expert, but SF6 is pretty to look at and fun to play. By all accounts, also manages to bring some balance and spirit back to the franchise, appeasing newcomers and pros alike.

A simple premise executed virtually to perfection. As its description says, more of a toy than a ‘full game’, but it’s short, relaxing and fun. No unlockables, no story, just ramps.

It’s a rhythm-based shooter which means you’ll have to be kinda-into the music, and be willing to concentrate that hard. Achieves what it sets out to, and from the trailer you’ll know if it’s for you.

An iOS classic - I spent hours on this back in the day. It’s simple but addictive. You likely have this to thank/blame for infinite runner games.

The hint’s in the title: it’s a clawfishing game. Relaxing, short and chill - it’ll likely make you feeling a little nostalgic about nothing in particular.

Seemingly simple concept, but executed basically to perfection: dodge discs. Gets challenging pretty quickly, and scoreboards push you to do better. Fun game.
