oh i’ve seen this a while ago. it looked like a more casual take on the dominions battles.
Finally beginning to look like I belong in the arena instead of someone who fell into the bargain bucket at a Party City.
I really need nicer shoes though.

I am intrigued by this game.
Here’s what the Armello folks have been working on.
Jumplight Odyssey – Roguelite starship colony sim

That is the game that is Starblazers in disguise IIRC. : )
I had to go watch the trailer after you said that. I can certainly see it (hear it, too). Kind of makes me sad, since real-time games and I are not on friendly terms.

Here’s a little Early Access time-waster I’ve been wasting some enjoyable time with:
It’s billed as a “minimalism strategy game” and that is correct. It’s simple, it’s minimal, and although it has SOME strategic depth, that is within a pretty narrow range. But I’m finding it a pretty chill “quick game before bed” or “quick coffee break game”. Plus, it’s cheap.
It’s early access but the basic maps and skirmishes are playable along with a fairly decent list of challenge maps.
It’s nothing spectacular, but I’m enjoying it.
This looks great! Can you play with only left-click? Looks like it would be perfect for a touch interface.

I’m enjoying Lunistice:
It has the spirit of 32-bit era platformers, but in 3D. The main path through each level tends to be pretty straightforward, but there are some tricky optional paths you can explore. Fairly short, but cheap and cheerful, there’s a demo if you would like to give it a go. Runs well on the Deck, as you might expect.
The next game from Mi’Pu’Mi (who made a lovely adventure game called The Lion’s Song) is a tactical game with a stylish ink-drawn look called Howl. The gameplay appears to center around programming out several turns.

I picked this up purely due to the Toree cameo in the trailer. Had a fun two hours with it, but the platforming isn’t quite as good as Toree 1 and 2. And trying to beat the levels with the unlockable characters is brutal!

I hadn’t heard of Toree before, but the trailers on Steam look delightful and very much my kind of thing. And at that price, bought immediately. Thanks for mentioning it!

I believe it is entirely playable with a left click.

I could see myself enjoying this. Maybe.
It’s coming to PC and Switch on Dec 2nd.
“Super Kiwi 64”. Not sure I needed the graphics of the N64 era duplicated though. I think the gameplay would have been enough.
After listening to Brian’s podcast the other day about Beat Hazard 3, I was inspired to install BH2, which I’d gotten in a Humble Monthly at some point. Not bad at all.
Why do you do this to me, Nightgaunt? I even wishlisted Jumplight Odyssey!

Yeah this looks great! Reminds me of Wolfwalkers and the Secret of Kells by Cartoon Saloon. Also, I like programming turns in my tactical games.
Digital version of Munchkin arrives in Early Access Thursday. I never played the card game, so I assume the artwork is the same as the physical version, and I love it. Reminds me of Jay Ward
