She Remembered Caterpillars is a beautiful, yet challenging puzzler

Dangerous Driving — Burnt out, or on fire?
Although the Burnout series is a thing of the past, its legacy lives on in Dangerous Driving. Clearly the product of a small but talented studio, this homage to eye-wateringly fast arcade racers of the past is good enough to crash its way…
Sailor Cats — Fishing up supplies, but not fish
Adorable mobile games are now being advertised to me as I thumb through the iOS store pages. I’m a real sucker for something cute, even if it’s just an idle game, and I normally I end up downloading said cute games and playing around with…

Lightless has many puzzles that take place in the dark
Many games give you the ability to brutally destroy your enemy, but in Lightless, you must use the light to stun them, or use limited oil to cast fire onto the creatures. You cannot carry a weapon for very long in this game at all.…

Birfia — Fight other birds for food or cart movement
