BALL X PIT came out last night - a game I deliberately avoided during demo releases the last six months because I just ✨ k n e w ✨ it would become a problem.

Rouge like Breakout with a lot of my fav mobile game Holedown? YES

What I didn’t expect was such a BANGER soundtrack 🤯

Looking for a party game that combines social deduction with the pleasant absurdity of rating animals, films, and the weather on a scale of ★ to ★★★★★? And it's just a simple deck of cards? AND it's live on Kickstarter now?!?! Guess what, STARFRIENDS has launched! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bra...
Starfriends: The 5-Star Game About What Everyone Else Thinks
A party game where you get into your friends' heads. Kinda like a blend of Wavelength and Letterboxd that fits into a deck of cards.

"In this house to-do lists are wallpaper"

This game is a gorgeous lil snack of coming to terms with the never ending list of things one wants to do, and never being able to do them all..

Jill's lil' poem of a game can be played in 5 minutes, and will sit in your soul forever ✨

Thanks Jill 🙏

Will live on as an annual joy, alongside Untitled Goose Game, Astro Bot and a precious few others.

Thanks @lululu.games for all the incredible love and joy you put into Henry!
Henry is many things! Henry Halfhead is out since one week on PC, Switch and PS5. Big thanks to everyone who has played through Henry's playful life already! ✨

Legit gamescom was so much fun this year. It felt like school camp.. but without the annoying bullies?

Legit playing Planetenverteidigungskannonenkomandant with @rystorm.com was a life changing experience.

The pitch: “Angry birds but very complicated with a MASSIVE controller”

What a marvel of an experience - I’ll be giggling for days

Over the last few months folks kept saying that the RNG in Blue Prince feels off, is too punishing, or that it needs to be fixed.

I disagree. I think folks are looking in the wrong direction. The RNG of Blue Prince is fine.

The actual problem is time:

I’m exactly six months late to Pirate Yakuza but omg this game is as off the wall as the series has ever been.

Just rolled credits on The Drifter, bloody *marvellous* point & click game from the makers of Crawl.

Delightful from start to finish, superb writing, top-notch voice acting, and pixel art you want to hang on a wall.

90s LucasArts but modern and fresh

10/10
