this groovy little platformer is a hidden gem, jump and make your own ambient music mix! make your own levels! awesome!
unfortunately playstation only...

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.

ico

ico is a gorgeous atmospheric adventure puzzler, where cooperation with your seemingly helpless but actually quite powerful companion is essential. a metaphor for battling depression, you have to desperately hang on to the girl whilst banishing the gathering black clouds of miasma with your crude toy sword. kids will love this game i think, i would love to eavesdrop a couple of 7 year olds attempting to solve these puzzles.

sometimes you die

talking of dying a lot. in this innovative platformer dying is essential, the ghost of your former self helps you reach previously inaccessible places. a great piece of indie game design.

buster spirits

shoot it! great little bulletstormer. you will die. a lot.
but it's not so ridiculously difficult that you can get through the levels.

bondo

bondo is a very satisfying little merge puzzler in the vein of 2048, match three or more numbers on the rotatable tiles to change it to one tile of the next number up to six at which point you get a bomb tile. match three bomb tiles and you clear some free space. hex merged and merged++ are nice variations on the theme, hex merged coming in the lightest at a very keepable 18mb. it also has very relaxing background music.
