Mini Motorways



Mini Motorways is a minimalist strategy game that challenges players to design and manage road networks in evolving cityscapes. As urban areas expand, your task is to connect buildings, residences, and destinations using a limited road supply. The game’s sleek design and soothing ambience create a calming yet engaging experience. With intuitive mechanics, you control the flow of traffic by optimising routes and adapting to growing demand. As cities grow, so does the complexity of the challenge, testing your spatial awareness and strategic planning. Mini Motorways offers a perfect blend of simplicity and complexity, allowing players to create intricate transportation systems, while embracing the satisfaction of watching their road networks function seamlessly. This game works well on all devices.


Assemble with care

From the creators of Monument Valley comes a game where you have to fix things. It’s a sweet game that has a very nice art style and it feels sort of satisfying to fix things. There is also a story to go along with the fixing, but essentially, it’s a game that feels more like therapy than gaming. As the game progresses, the things that you need to assemble get more complicated and, at times, it can be a little frustrating. The game works best with touch controls, so you might want to play this on your iPad or your phone.

Air Twister

Air Twister is a video game from the creator of the 1999 action-adventure game Shenmue. You play as Princess Arch, who must take on an alien invasion that’s threatening her home planet. The game has a lot of shooting and dogfighting, which works out better if you use a controller as opposed to a touchscreen. There are a total of 12 levels to complete in the main campaign, but you can also play the challenge modes for a little variety. The audio tracks for the game are composed by Dutch artist Valensia, and they are a joy to listen to while playing.

EarthNight

EarthNight is an auto-runner that actually has a story and looks surprisingly good. It’s got a really cool retro design aesthetic that will get you feeling a bit nostalgic. The plot of the game is that the earth is being invaded by thousands of dragons and you are the only one who can save everyone. It has you jumping from the upper atmospheres of earth, defeating dragons as you head down to the ground. There is a bit of skill involved in killing dragons before you hit the ground and that skill takes a few tries to perfect. The game works both, with a controller and with touch, which makes it a game you can play on any of your Apple devices.

Exit the Gungeon

Exit the Gungeon, a spin-off from the popular game Enter the Gungeon, offers a frenetic bullet-hell experience. Set in a rapidly evolving Gungeon, it’s a relentless journey of blasting through foes. The game boasts a vibrant and quirky aesthetic, staying true to its predecessor’s charm. With tight controls, players dodge, roll, and unleash an array of outrageous weaponry. The vertical gameplay adds a unique twist, as you ascend levels filled with perilous challenges. Its challenging nature and fast-paced action requires strategic thinking and lightning-fast reflexes.

Cozy Grove

Cozy Grove is an enchanting game that whisks players into a heart-warming world of discovery. As a spirit scout, you step onto the shores of a mystical island enveloped in perpetual autumn. The game’s artistry immerses you in its hand-drawn beauty, capturing the essence of a serene getaway. By helping the island’s endearing spirit inhabitants, you’ll gradually bring colour and life back to the land. Each day unveils new stories and challenges, forming a captivating narrative tapestry that unfolds over time. With its campsite, soothing music, and daily tasks, Cozy Grove offers a delightful respite from the ordinary. Whether it’s fishing, crafting, or befriending the island’s inhabitants, the game’s gentle pace and charming interactions create an idyllic haven for players seeking solace and warmth. 

Neo Cab

Neo Cab is a captivating narrative-driven game that immerses players in a dystopian future. As Lina, the last human rideshare driver, you navigate the neon-lit streets of Los Ojos, interacting with passengers to uncover a gripping mystery. The game expertly blends emotional storytelling with a unique gameplay mechanic: maintaining your driver rating to ensure your livelihood. With a beautifully stylised art style and a synth-heavy soundtrack, Neo Cab’s atmosphere resonates with cyberpunk aesthetics. Each passenger encounter offers choices that influence both, your personal story and the city’s fate. It’s a thought-provoking exploration of human connection, technology, and the consequences of our choices, making Neo Cab a  standout gaming experience.

Fantasian

Fantasian, an RPG by the creator of Final Fantasy, transports players into a world where reality and imagination intertwine. Crafted with painstaking detail, the game features physical dioramas that are digitally scanned for a unique visual flair. You can immerse yourself in a compelling narrative, playing Leo, who awakens in a mysterious land fragmented by chaos. The innovative “Dimengeon” system adds depth to battles, allowing you to strategically manipulate time and master tactics.

Cat Quest II

Cat Quest packs a serious RPG under the guise of cuteness. The game is an action RPG, and you can freely explore the map and complete quests. There’s magic, violence, monsters and most importantly, lots of cute animals. You play as two protagonists, a cat and a dog, and you can play it solo or co-op, depending on your preference. It is a surprisingly deep game that is very easy to get addicted to.  

Wurdweb

Wurdweb is a fun word puzzle game that challenges players’ vocabulary and wit. Through clever connections and strategic thinking, you link letters to form words on a grid. The game’s sleek design and intuitive mechanics create a satisfying and engaging experience. As levels progress, the challenge deepens, pushing players to uncover longer and more intricate words. With various game modes, Wurdweb offers both, casual enjoyment and competitive play. Its blend of linguistic skill and puzzle-solving makes for a mentally stimulating adventure. Whether played solo or with friends, Wurdweb offers a refreshing twist on the classic word game genre, providing hours of brain-teasing fun.
