THRUNT is a physics rocket booster style game, where you have to navigate your little ship through increasingly maddening obstacle courses and if you touch literally anything, you die. It demands perfection from you, and despite what my chat said, I still feel like the physics are not quite right. Regardless It's hard as hell and is for a very specific kind of gamer.
You died but a necromancer revived you is another game demanding excellence from you, but it feels way less punishing, and I found it to be quite a lot of fun and full of charm. You're a little skeleton that has to spiral up the inside of a tower in order to get to the necromancer that revived you and, I assume, murderate them. You run a tight spiral which is randomly generated every level, and there's all kinds of things that can kill you, including your own idiot reactions. It was a lot of fun!
Gig Life is a very stripped back survival/puzzle game where you, a gig worker, must take on multiple jobs in order to earn enough money to eat and drink to live. Once you master these jobs, you can meet the old wise man who has words for you. Took me two tries, but got there in the end.
8 Bit Space is a love letter to a lot of games I never played, and a couple that I did. You're a spaceman tasked with finding orbs and crystals on alien planets in order to gain access to alien temples so collect relics to gain access to a final star system. It's got coins you can collect to 100% a world, some mobs, and a lot of jumping. It's very cute, and honestly pretty relaxing, despite my repeated deaths.
