A NZ$3.19 minimalist block-breaking puzzle that dresses each stage up as a psychological phenomenon — anxiety, ADHD, perfectionism, obsession. The idea is more interesting than the evidence that it actually pays off; the entire public record on this three-month-old release is two Steam reviews, split exactly down the middle.
5.6 / 10
A remastered Amiga-era dungeon crawler that proves the simplest roguelike loop imaginable can still be a genuine blast in short, disposable bursts.
5.6 / 10
ROT is a $2.99 turn-based roguelike RPG from solo developer Games By Thomas, built around sixteen distinct playable heroes and item-driven runs through an endless dungeon, and this review's full 11-review sample, entirely positive, credits real ambition and item-combo depth while also flagging a missing tutorial and visible balance rough edges typical of a very young, one-person production.
5.6 / 10
A Bunny, a Cat, a Dog, and a Mouse Shoot Their Way Through Five Worlds Rungeon Tails is a top-down roguelike shooter about a small critter fighting through randomly generated pixel
5.6 / 10
A cozy farming sim that swaps dirt roads for cloudscapes, sending players to inherit a neglected floating island and rebuild it with jetpacks, crops, and fishing, undercut in Early Access by slow core mechanics, progression-blocking bugs, and a handful of pointed AI-art allegations.
5.6 / 10
A Card-Flip Roguelike With Real Build Variety Tap Dungeon casts players as an adventurer fleeing the fall of the Duchy of Lyle, sent by a mentor's escape spell into a series of
5.6 / 10
A first-person psychological horror sequel from solo Chilean studio 99 Grados Games that sends players chasing missing friends into the woods, drawing consistent praise for its atmosphere and scares alongside recurring, specific complaints about pacing, technical polish, and one reviewer's flagged use of AI-generated imagery.
5.6 / 10
A moody VHS-horror walking sim from a prolific solo developer that nails its atmosphere and sound design, but is over in under an hour and forces a headbob it won't let you turn off.
5.6 / 10
A Touhou-Themed Take on the Desktop Mate Formula Touhou Desktop Pet does exactly what its title promises: it drops a small, animated Touhou Project character onto your desktop, whe
5.6 / 10
1348 Ex Voto sends a young knight errant named Aeta across a plague-ravaged, war-torn medieval Italy, and this review's large review sample tells a strikingly consistent story of a game whose writing and atmosphere are genuinely admired, undercut by clunky combat, real technical rough edges, and a short runtime that many reviewers felt didn't match its price.
5.5 / 10
A cooking-focused restaurant sim set among the gothic residents of an underworld bistro, praised by its small early review sample for genuinely strong art, music and character writing, but consistently flagged by those same reviewers for an overlong, repetitive core loop, thinner romance content than its dating-sim framing implies, and rough localisation.
5.5 / 10
A VR-supported open-world survival game whose entire, small early review sample dates from its first three days — a window that turns out to mostly predate two patches directly fixing nearly every specific bug those reviews describe.
5.5 / 10
A Game About Breaking Pots is a $5.99 solo-developed exploration game from Glenn Verheij that delivers exactly what its title promises, a relaxing medieval castle full of pots to smash, and this review's small, unanimously Positive sample praises its charm and focus while agreeing the whole experience lasts well under two hours.
5.5 / 10
A short, minimalist incremental game from Acrylic Pixel Games about merging drifting particles into a planet, praised in a Mixed English review sample for a calming, satisfying core loop, tempered by fair, heavily corroborated complaints about very short content and a thin, repetitive upgrade tree.
5.5 / 10
A free, 15-minute novelty where you clear stages by yelling into a microphone, a genuinely funny gimmick that has nowhere near enough game built around it to justify more than a single sitting.
5.5 / 10
A network-survival thriller in which the player controls a rogue AI hiding inside a smart fridge, infiltrating household devices and manipulating a family to avoid deletion, drawing a Mixed reception split sharply between praise for its unusual premise and mechanics and pointed criticism of undisclosed or under-disclosed generative-AI use in its own writing and assets.
5.5 / 10
A Contra-inspired run and gun from Combo Game Studio, Mixed across a small but detailed English review sample split between reviewers who love its retro tribute and reviewers who found repetitive enemies, unfair placement, and rough platforming genuinely frustrating.
5.5 / 10
A Cozy Cloud-Covered Civ Puzzle, Fresh Out Of Early Access Purgatory A Little Age, released August 28, 2026 by solo developer Benerot after a string of playtests and demos going ba
5.5 / 10
A farming sim set in ancient Egypt wins genuine praise for a setting the genre rarely touches, but a Mixed review sample is remarkably consistent that a relentless watering timer, a short content ceiling, and several farming systems that don't hold together historically or logically hold it well back of the relaxing experience it's aiming for.
5.5 / 10
A Thirty-Sixth Consecutive Launch Without a Single Review And who is the maiden? went up on Steam on 18 September 2026 and has attracted no user reviews at all so far — not one, on
5.5 / 10
AnimalFruitTart is a $9.99 one-button physics platformer from developer tsubogames where players jump and roll cute animal-fruit hybrids through a candy-colored world, and this review's small, unanimous 4-review sample praises its relaxing, wholesome charm while flagging a genuinely repeated concern about unclear in-game guidance.
5.5 / 10
A solo-developed Early Access survival-management game rooted in the Chinese "apocalypse rebirth" web-novel fantasy — reborn seven days before the end of the world with foreknowledge to hoard supplies and build a self-sufficient RV — whose distinctive premise draws real interest from its mostly Simplified-Chinese review sample, but whose execution is dogged by persistent complaints of mobile-port UI, real-time wait-gated upgrades, and bugs that erase progress.
5.5 / 10
Will It Go Through? ArmorSim entered Early Access on September 16, 2026 from solo developer Timerlan Galimov under the Galimov Dynamics label, promising a genuine terminal ballisti
5.5 / 10
A short, cheap arcade shooter about gunning down giant spiders and their human-hunting swarms, earning modest but genuine praise for its varied arsenal and pick-up-and-play simplicity while drawing fair criticism for its brief campaign, weightless gunplay, and recycled-feeling presentation.
