Eets Munchies

Calm and deliberate

A charming physics-puzzle game where you guide a hungry creature to its cake using clever contraptions. The Puzzle Maker lets you build your own levels and extends replayability.

Bad Rats

Linear, curated structure

A physics puzzle game where rats take revenge on cats: you use objects and your trained rat helpers to build creative, often darkly comic chain reactions that take down the cat. Slapstick humor and score chasing encourage replaying levels.

Kami

Calm and deliberate

You fold coloured paper to fill the screen, aiming to solve each puzzle in as few moves as possible. It looks minimal, yet perfecting each level rewards surprisingly deep thought.

Scribblenauts Unlimited

Calm and deliberate

As Maxwell, you solve puzzles by writing words into a magic notebook that summons almost any object you can imagine, tweaked further with adjectives. It rewards creativity over reflexes, with countless and often hilariously absurd solutions to every problem.

Mekorama

Calm and deliberate

A relaxing puzzle game where you guide a tiny robot home through mechanical dioramas by rotating and manipulating platforms and mechanisms. The charming miniature worlds invite calm tinkering, and a diorama maker lets you build your own levels.

Mugsters

Respects your time

You free humanity from alien invaders by experimenting with vehicles, traps and explosives in physics-based sandbox levels. Creative problem solving is the heart of it, letting you outwit enemies your own way.

Octodad

Respects your time

You play an octopus in a suit passing as a human dad, wrestling with everyday chores using floppy tentacles. The deliberately clumsy controls create chaotic slapstick comedy.
