looking at all the games from this year that I haven't played and I'm increasingly not really worried about 'em

Baby Steps manbreaker status: broken
this game is very good but god the control scheme puts my poor wrists directly into the blender. still an admirable adaptation of Foddy and co's ideas into 3D space and has a lot to say. writeup soonish
