Master your jumps and blast fireballs that send you soaring through the air in Explosiovania, a 3D Metroidvania. Rocket-jumping is the core mechanic here, if you love precision platformers and getting lost in maps, this is the game for you

Absurd situations, humor, great combat, and pre-rendered graphics await you in Petrichor. It's an RPG that is heavily reminiscent of Super Mario RPG and Mother. There's a demo available now if you want to give it a try!

One life. One boss. Watch your movement and master the patterns. Spirited Line is a minimalist boss rush that puts your skills to the test without the fluff. Try the demo and see if you can take down both bosses!

Defend the futuristic city of Comala in the mecha-action game Eagle Knight Paradox. The demo is super fun and gives a great taste of how frenetic the combat will be in the full release!

Climb to the peak as a phone that looks just like an old Nokia in the precision platformer Flipping is Hard. Don't worry, the world won't end if you fall.

Magical girls, kittens, and an incredible RPG journey. Mirage Miracle Quest is a demo you need to play. It might look cute, but there is a surprisingly deep RPG under the surface. Try the demo now! It's only available until December 23

Plan your cuts and build the perfect bento. For some reason, you can't rotate food in this world, so think ahead to make everything fit! Think of it as Tetris with food, haha. Try the Bento Blocks demo now!

TOEM 2 is high on my list for next year. The first was such a chill, exploration-focused experience, and I'm expecting more of that! A console release is planned, but nothing is confirmed yet

2026 is coming, and one of the games I'm most excited about is Zwaard. I love the mix of a post-apocalyptic world with advanced technology, and the fact that it's pixel art makes it even better for me

Play in an old arcade to earn tickets and improve run after run… or maybe you want to invest them in the virtual creature locked inside the room. Unshine Arcade is a very peculiar game full of mysteries. Try the demo now!

You have only one turn to think of the perfect card combination to defeat your enemy, otherwise your run is over. That's One Turn Kill, a very fun deck-building game that you can enjoy by playing its demo now!

Colorbound is a puzzle game where you can make the invisible visible, or vice versa, by changing the colors of your environment or objects. Each ink can only be used once, so you need to think carefully about what to color. Try the demo now!

Food, adventure, and combat are what you can expect in Town of Zoz next year. I really like the style of this game it looks like a cartoon, but not exactly. If you watch the trailers, you'll understand what I mean haha

It's impressive that Decrepit was developed by just one person. The release is planned for next year, so make sure to add it to your wishlist. Let's hope they didn't have to put their house on the line just to show the trailer haha
