Flywrench is brilliant.

It has echoes of @phest.bsky.social’s Eliss (2009) and long anticipated Faraway, and in turn it inspired (now sadly defunct) Laser Dog’s HoPiKo.

Note: If you’re playing on Steam Deck, make sure you launch it using Proton 7.0-6 compatibility mode.

How could we have forgotten Flywrench's birthday?? 10 years ago we launched this crazy space platformer on Steam and PS4. You can try the demo yourself and see what the "Very Positive" reviews are talking about store.steampowered.com/app/337350/F...

Anyway, if you’re in need of good chill vibes, I must recommend @messhof.bsky.social’s Wheel World.

Cycling around, building up rep and upgrading my bike, in an experience that evoked both Burnout and Zelda, was pure joy.

Add an incredible synth-pop OST and it becomes one of 2025’s standouts.
