As the title suggests, GeoMaze is a geometric puzzle that's very pleasing on the eye. The gameplay reminds us of pinball, but in reverse. Each level begins with a ball falling from the top of the screen, and you have to rotate the various shapes that appear in order to help it reach the goal at the bottom of the stage. There are many different levels to try, and you can even experiment with various balls, each boasting unique features that will play out differently in this physics puzzler.

Message Quest is a tiny stained-glass point-and-click adventure about laziness and its herald. The atmosphere and story were inspired y a well-known Japanese animation studio.
This is the story of a lazy herald called Feste. You may know heralds, the guys who show up at the beginning of every story, looking for a hero to deliver that “call to adventure” thing to. You know, right before the interesting stuff starts to happen. That’s exactly our Feste's job: find a hero, give them their call to adventure, and be done with it. No exploits, no saving the world. But all he wants to do is sleep and eat candy. You must become his conscience and lead him through the struggles and strange encounters of the Road Between Worlds.
Dungeon999 is a really neat RPG game. The world has been overpopulated with increasingly aggressive slime monsters and you're tasked with culling them to restore peace in your town. The slimes all live in a dungeon with 999 levels and, guess what, you'll have to clear it out.
The main characters of this game are the wandering warrior Jack and Rose the magician (yeah, just like Titanic). Rose has to gather enough mana in order for you to pass a given stage. During this time she can't move so you'll have to protect her from the slime with Jack. Rose can cast some pretty devastating spells; however, so use these to your advantage.
Dungeon999 features lovely retro graphics and a really fun storyline, so we definitely recommend that you give it a try.
God's Orbits is a physics puzzler with a very amusing storyline. God has grown tired of creating stars and planets and has decided to take a week-long vacation to Cancún. You're hired as a substitute and are tasked with devising solar systems and galaxies in His place.
The game is advertised as accurately simulating Newton’s law of universal gravity. You control the speed and direction of a single planet. You’ll need to find the precise trajectory of a planet to make it orbit around another celestial body. The game contains 60 unique levels that feature wormholes, several types of stars, different planets, and even black holes. If you want an experience that's "closer to Earth", you can even play around in the Solar system.
Live or Die features a third-person camera perspective and building mode that's similar to The Sims, the scavenging and crafting mechanics of Minecraft, and a brutal survival element in which you have to use your resources to destroy the hordes of zombies that are attacking you day and night.
Aside from building up your home base to endure the ever-stronger zombie waves, there's also an exploration element to the game - you can search abandoned bunkers, labs, and research facilities. You also have to interact with other survivors throughout the wasteland. You can cooperate with some, but others will compete with you for valuable resources. You can also choose to risk it and raid the shelters of other survivors in order to get their valuable loot.
