While it is nice to see their unique reaction puzzle game become available on additional platforms, all the pros and cons of this five-year-old game remain. Here is […]
Rataliaka Games is one of my favorite sleeper hit publishers. Like EastAsiaSoft, most of the games they release only cost a few dollars and focus on indie developed titles geared around one gimmick honed to a bright polish. At the same time, Ratalaika deserves a lot of respect and credit for re-releasing forgotten earlier console […]
The Game Gear version of Mappy, which was exclusively released in Japan, features a 2-player versus mode when using the Gear-to-Gear link cable. Unfortunately, this linked multiplayer mode is nothing more than a score chaser so it actually could have been implemented as a hot-seat option.

Published by EastAsiaSoft for $5, GluMe is essentially Sokoban to the max. It is a single screen block pushing puzzle game with an interesting twist that makes each puzzle much more challenging than expected. The gimmick comes from the glue mechanic, hence the name.

Developed by Sarah Paker (IGW Games), Dizzy Sheep Disaster: EX is a new Gameboy Advance e-Reader game released on physical cards in 2026. Each of the 30 single-screened stages are played with just one button. The goal is to guide the sheep to the end point by gripping the white grip pads to avoid being […]
Positioned as a sequel to the experimental ALVEOLE, PULMO is just as weird but in a good way. Instead of thinking of this as a game or digital toy, it might make more sense to identify this as an interactive piece of art. It is still engaging and rather interesting but unconventional.
