Tried #TiledWords for the first time. It's a mix of crossword and boggle/Scrabble? I initially wanted to avoid the hints, but the final solution must all fit together so they're necessary. I think they're more fun since you solve a little clue and then fit that into your grid.

Enjoyed the demo for Die For The Lich. I've really enjoyed the design space of dice in video games (Dicey Dungeons, DICEOMANCER, Duck and Roll). Similar to cards, they provide explicit input randomness, but you think a lot more about probabilities and sums.

The game feels pretty streamlined, but open to a lot of depth as you earn more dice and trinkets (which you draw like dice).

Öoo is a novel puzzle platformer where you can't jump, but you can bomb yourself around. Love the aesthetic and demo takes 15 min and has some great puzzles. It's from the developer of the much-lauded ElecHead.

Also has the funniest implementation of Clear Save Data I've ever seen.

十几年前看表哥在PSP上玩过怪猎，用的是铳枪，当时完全无法理解这个奇怪的游戏。人物动作极其迟钝，武器也会变钝，要时不时停下来找机会磨刀；升级竟然不加属性，成长完全依赖装备；战斗任务还有限时，怪物还会换区，要扔什么染色球再去找他。

没想到多年以后抱着试一试的心态入坑崛起后好一阵子无法自拔，从崛起本体打完曙光冥渊龙一口气打了100小时。#iPlayed https://mastodon.social/@iz/113207849605816743

Enjoyed the Tactical Breach Wizards demo! Writing was funny, dialogue choices don't seem to matter but offer three jokes at to choose from, and the tactical combat was fun and not XCOM serious. A tactical puzzle.

Small rooms feel like a game I could dip in and out of instead of compelled to complete the whole mission in one shot. (Why I haven't finished XCOM.)

I've enjoyed @Pentadact's previous games, so no surprise that this one feels up my alley.
