superbrothers: sword & sworcery EP

a charming, humerous and original fantasy adventure game,
superbrothers sword & sworcery
is definitely one worth downloading.
8bit graphics never looked so lovely...

mekorama

a tiny monumumentvalleyalike
where you have to navigate a ditzy robot around puzzling mechanical dioramas. dopey music? check.
lush chunky graphics? check.
interesting monetisation metric? check.
scan new levels using VR codes? check.
build your own levels? check.
what's not to like..?

hocus

another game that uses the escher mechanic to great effect is hocus a neat and minimal little puzzler, in this one all you have to do is navigate the little red cube around the impossible shape to the red exit.
easy...
sometimes...
nice ambience too.

echochrome

fiendishly difficult and different take on the escheresque puzzler, a la monunemt valley, from which this could have been inspired. (this one's circa 2008) gorgeous chamber music soundtrack. very ravelly.

hex blitz 2.0

interesting take on the ubiquitous match three puzzler
which looks like a damien hirst dot painting.
strangely satisfying.

okay?

it's angry birds if angry birds was reinvented by the bauhaus movement
. and a very elegant monetization mechanic. plus it's a very usable musical instrument. nice.
