  • Turn-based combat
  • Lots of humour
  • Tactical depth

You're a living die forced into a game show, fighting turn-based duels by smartly assigning your dice rolls to equipment. Each of the six characters changes the rules, all wrapped in plenty of humor and a bright, colorful look.

Solitairica

Turn-based combat

Solitairica fuses classic solitaire with roguelike combat: clearing cards charges your spells and damages enemies while you build up a hero with items and abilities. It all comes wrapped in a tongue-in-cheek fantasy tone.

Peglin

Turn-based combat

A roguelike where you play a little goblin launching orbs through a pachinko-style board of pegs to damage enemies. Randomized relics and orb combinations make every run different and reward smart aiming.

Plants vs. Zombies

Lots of humour

A charming tower defense game where quirky plants guard your lawn against goofy zombie hordes. A steady stream of new plants, enemy types and mini-games keeps its simple but clever strategy fresh for hours.

Triple Town

Bright, upbeat tone

A charming match-three puzzler where you merge grass into bushes, trees and eventually castles while outwitting roaming bears. It pairs relaxed city-building with surprisingly deep planning for high scores.

Stacklands

Bright, upbeat tone

You stack cards to gather food, construct buildings and keep villagers alive while monsters and the moon cycle add pressure. A relaxed, puzzly village builder with charming humor and a clever card mechanic.

HuniePop 2: Double Date

Bright, upbeat tone

A cheeky dating-sim and puzzle hybrid where you woo island residents by solving match-3 boards, building stats and navigating dialogue. The humor is raunchy and over the top, with a colorful anime-style look.

Potionomics

Fantasy setting

As the broke young witch Sylvia, you brew potions with carefully optimized recipes and haggle with customers in a card-like negotiation minigame to save your shop from debt. A charming, cozy business sim with surprising optimization depth.

HuniePop

Bright, upbeat tone

HuniePop blends a match-3 puzzler with a dating sim: you clear tile boards on dates to win over the women, and use gifts to boost your stats. The tone is cheeky, humorous and adult-oriented.

Guild of Dungeoneering

Turn-based combat

You never control the hero directly; instead you play cards to build the dungeon around him, placing rooms, monsters, traps and loot. Combat resolves via card choices, wrapped in a charming doodle art style, quirky humor and a funny narrated soundtrack.
