    I’ve only just started today, so these are my first impressions of the initial 10 games:

    • Barbuta: such a strange little game! First impression is very hostile and strange, but it keeps luring me in with it’s puzzle-like complexity. Discovering new stuff in this one is super satisfying.
    • Bug Hunter: seems interesting, but did not want to hurt my brain with the strategy aspect, so on hold for now
    • Ninpek: precision platformer auto-scroller, I am really bad at this so not really for me
    • Paint Chase: amazing little game, really fun paint battler with cool powerups
    • Magic Garden: this one got its hooks in me, a great twist on snake and pacman with a risk-reward mechanic. Highly recommend!
    • Mortol: this is so creative! Still at the start, but using your own body as a tool to be used by your next “lives” is amazing.
    • Velgress: made me think of playing Doodle Jump on my Nokia Slider phone, good times.
    • Planet Zoldath: spend literally 1 minute in this, something on a planet, then my brain wanted another impulse :)
    • Attactics: really cool, sort of real time strategy game. I really like it, but feel like I need to play it more to understand the strategies better.
    • Devilition: chain reactions of blowing up demons! Quite a head-scratcher, but really satisfying when you start your demolition and everything goes as planned!
