Survivor Challenge TD
🏰 A simple tower defence game that became the most demanding challenge! 18 hours of experimenting, many failures and one glorious victory, I eventually conquered endless mode, reaching 5th place on the leaderboard!

GardenBuddies
🌱 Garden Buddies is an adorable little adventure filled with friendship, kindness and gentle puzzles. Perfect for younger children, although I'd recommend picking it up during a sale!
Island Restoration
🏝️ A wonderfully relaxing clean-up adventure where restoring polluted islands, rescuing wildlife and watching paradise return is incredibly satisfying.
Pocket Spouse
🏡 A charming old-school pixel art RPG where settling into a new home leads to exploration, colourful characters and a world that rewards figuring things out for yourself.
The Regreening
🌱 A beautiful cosy adventure where every flower, tree and returning creature helps transform a dusty, lifeless planet into a colourful world bursting with nature once again.
Malhaar Demo
🪕 A calm and colourful India-inspired adventure filled with exploration, musical instrument crafting and a wonderfully distinctive atmosphere that left me wanting to discover more.
The Greenening
🌱 A wonderfully satisfying incremental journey where a tiny rain cloud washes away the ash, grows steadily stronger and gradually transforms a forgotten world back into somewhere green and full of life.
Stardew Valley
A wonderfully relaxing farming life sim packed with charm, freedom and things to discover. Stardew Valley is the sort of game you can happily call home for hundreds of hours.
Solitaire: Kingdom in Chains
🃏 A relaxing and beautifully presented Solitaire adventure with useful upgrades, a charming story and increasingly challenging levels where strategy and a little luck go hand in hand.
Foundation
🏰 Build a medieval settlement from the ground up in this wonderfully absorbing city builder, where organic growth, production chains and plenty of freedom make the hours disappear.
Bearly Awesome: Chapter 1
🐻 Join Bearlie on a colourful platforming adventure filled with coins, critters, belly bumps and unusual mushrooms in the six-level first chapter of Bearly Awesome.
Pibcremental
🪨 Build a growing Pib civilisation in a wonderfully charming incremental where new systems, meaningful upgrades and little surprises keep the numbers going up.
Click Mage
🪄 A wonderfully grindy incremental adventure where gathering, crafting and steady progression kept me hooked right through to 100% completion. Slow-paced, satisfying and very hard to put down.
Papaya Plaza Demo
💜 A wonderfully simple cosy town builder filled with cute animal residents, gentle gathering and decorating. Papaya Plaza proves that sometimes relaxing really doesn't need to be complicated.
Vampire Survivors
🧛 Hundreds of hours later, Vampire Survivors remains one of my first loves. Simple to play, packed with things to discover and dangerously good at turning one more run into several.
Angel Clicker
😇 Click, prestige and command an army of cherubs while dealing with ex-girlfriends Legion and Lucifer in a wonderfully silly incremental journey that somehow ends with pizza.
Moonlight Peaks
🌙 Farm by moonlight and build a cosy life as a young vampire in this charming supernatural life sim filled with magic, exploration and wonderfully unusual neighbours.
Agrivore
🌾 A satisfying incremental harvesting game packed with upgrades, prestiges and plenty of numbers going up. I happily played to 100%, although I'd recommend catching it in a sale.
Crownhold
💜 Build a kingdom from almost nothing, grow stronger through prestige and do it all over again. Crownhold kept me hooked through five prestiges and all the way to 100% completion.
Artisan TD
🏰 Artisan TD captures the classic maze-building Tower Defence experience brilliantly. Strategic, satisfying and great fun to play, although the full price feels a little ambitious compared to similar games.
