Which is the best point 'n' click ever? Day of the Tentacle, for me. Those time travel puzzles = genius. If not, which is better?

🥚Egg🥚 is a free, short, hardcore 3D platformer from Terry Cavanagh ( @terrycavanaghgames.com ) maker of Super Hexagon and VVVVVV. It's a proper challenge. If you liked Baby Steps as much as I did you'll like this too.

Limbo is still beautiful - if bleak - in motion. Worth an hour or two if you don't mind a bit of trial and error.

Brotato goes toe-to-(pota)toe with Vampire Survivors and others in the genre. Excellent escalation by @evilempirestudio.bsky.social and company...

Banjo-Kazooie: I still have to go back around once a year (in no small part because of @grantkirkhope.bsky.social's banger of a soundtrack)

I played Slay The Spire (by @megacrit.com) after 3 years of Hearthstone. I loved HS, no regrets. But playing STS after was realising you can get 1000% more for about 3% of the cost. Brought out proper, ultra-fun obsessiveness to beat The Heart with all 4 characters. Only @playbalatro.com competes.

You recommended I AM YOUR BEAST for some great-feeling movement in an FPS. You were very right (thank you!)

Wonder = best 2D Mario, for me. Pays off decades of great games all at once. If you disagree, which is better and why?

HYPER DEMON looks and plays like nothing else.

(Except maybe looking a little bit like Skate Story, now I think about it...)
