Speed Mazing
I’m not sure how I stumbled across this game but its a really fun little party game. It kinda reminds of Micro Maniacs back on the PSX even though this doesn’t have weapons, or anything like that, it feels similar. You have to race against the clock to get to the finish square in 1 player. In local MP you are competing with other players to reach the finish square first.
The 1 player is essentially time trial across certain levels and unlocking Gold, Silver and Bronze achievement times.
The MP is local only but its a lot fun if you have people to play with. As with these types of games its reliant on playing with other people to get the most fun out of it but its great for short play bursts with friends if you have people to play with.

Bunhouse
This has quickly become one of my favorite games. I fell in love with just how magical and cozy Bunhouse feels. The music and graphics are amazing, especially for a 1-man dev team. It’s fun to just be in the world the game puts you in- immediately relaxing and happy vibes.
I also want to mention I usually don’t play games like this. I mostly play MMOs and MOBAs, with the occasional RTS or ARPG. That’s a big reason I feel like Bunhouse is something special- it’s outside of my usual genres and I love it just as much or more than my go-to games.

I’m a grown adult dude who owns a car, pays taxes and goes to work every day.
I also own a little bun-boy chub who I rescued a while back from a sparrowhawk attack.
I don’t care about the stigma– this game is cute beyond belief from the wee bunnies to the music– I totally recommend it for chill times after a stressful day at work.
I love the little messages on the top right of the main menu with bun-care tips.
My little bun Pebble approves. :)
EDIT: I just pretty much 100% the game in under 15 hours solo, which consisted of two play-throughs. First one to chill and second to get all achievements and to fully upgrade everything and make a nice looking greenhouse. I get some people’s criticisms of the content, but pretty much 1 hours 1 pound, for a game that I will no dobut come back to, is a great deal. For a single bun-loving dev this is more than impressive, from modelling, texturing, rigging and animation to programming and implementation.

Diner Bros Inc
Great couch-coop game with a lot of variety in the fast paced mini games.
Remote Play Together also works great. Keep in mind that only one player can use a keyboard though.
A great extra feature would be a party mode, where the high scores are shared with the normal save game, but you start with the first small set of mini games. In that way, new players can get acquainted to them and gradually unlock and enjoy more mini games.

Amazing party / couch co-op game. Pretty fun to race after highscores when playing solo, and certainly good laughs when playing in groups. It is also a pretty good game to introduce to the younger kids who are just starting to get into videogames, as the minigames are quite intuitive by themselves.
However, this game is not for everyone. If you’re looking for complex stories or gameplay mechanics, then I’m afraid this is not for you. If you are, however, looking for simple and fun gameplay, give it a try, you will probably love it.

No Time to Relax
This game is honestly a ton of fun. Imagine “The Game of Life” but way more realistic and stressful, but still somehow fun? Yeah, that’s this game. If you enjoy time management skills, or have none, this game will be super enjoyable. Each turn is a week of your life, and each game-mode lasts a specific amount of weeks. (Excluding ‘Marathon’ which goes until the first person maxes out all four stats).
The game can be played solo, solo vs cpu, or online with up to three friends.
The art style is super neat, and the game runs very smoothly. It’s extremely optimized, as my little laptop runs it better than it runs Windows 10.

As a huge fan of Jones in the Fastlane (which I still play regularly) I have had my doubts about this game. But when it came on sale, I though: well… let’s try it!
It is not the same game as JitF, although it is clearly 100% inspired by it and lots of the mechanics are the same. But the game itself is very different and in my opinion, harder. Jones got away with a lot of poorly worked out game mechanics which are no longer acceptable today. This developer clearly worked harder to do it better. On the other hand, Jones was based on that ludicrous system that made it special and I miss that a bit in this game.

Crate Wars
Crate Wars is a chaotic couch co-op game for one to four players. Working alone or in a team with your fellows, you must push crates to defeat monstrous enemies crawling over colorful boards.
Push wooden, exploding, gum and metal crates for various results, but don’t get yourself killed by pushing wrong crates in wrong situations! Watch out for the crawling and flying monsters! Destroy treasure chests and collect powersups. Gather up up to 4 friends for couch co-op multiplayer experience.
Pilot Sports
A really fun little gem, who’s play style will be familiar to anyone who has played games such as Pilot Wings. With 4 player split screen (but sadly no network) multiplayer it is going to be one of the games I pull out at any gathering with friends that involves gaming.
I would like to see network multiplayer added to this title, as finding 4 friends to squeeze around my TV isn’t always practical, but this is a fun little gem regardless and if you liked games such as mentioned above, and want a local multiplayer title then you cannot go far wrong with this one.

the frame rate is terrible at 2560x1920 (and I have a GTX-980-TI) .
the only game options are to change the volume setting, no graphical options or anything else.
my Wii sports flying game is still the game to beat, this might be fine on a tablet - but you should pass for the PC.

Abracadabrew
This game is really fun with friends. It’s similar to other games of this genre, but with the added thing that you have to memorize where the ingredients are, so more confusion and more chaos! And there’s a good challenge to get all 3 stars. I wasn’t sure at first, but after few hours played, it’s really good.

Abracadabrew is a very fun little game !
The point is very simple : you have to find ingredients to brew a series of potions in a very messy room. Quite simple in its core, but, as the amount of potions, ingredients and rules increase, you and your friends must find a strategy to be as efficient as possible.
For me, Abracadabrew is much more a game about communication than memory. Finding a way to communicate efficiently with your partner goes a long way into completing the last levels.
As you understand, I think it’s a game better experienced with friends or SO.

Coloring Book for Adults
For a free coloring book its not bad. You get three coloring packs (mandala, owls, dinos).
Issues:
The default pallet are weird color choices and not organized in any way.
The shaded pallet are off color for pure yellow and blue. They also include grayed versions of the chosen color instead of just a full light to dark range of the same hue.
The custom pallet:
a. The color chooser should go to to color already on the pallet not create a new swatch of an already present color; only adding if the color is not in the pallet already

I’d like to recommend this game, but it already seems abandoned and there are just too many little things I find annoying about it. (I only have the free images)
The “Standard Colors” palette are too random.
The “Shades Colors” are just not right. So many of the colors are either way too close or just the same color repeated, and they aren’t even shades of the same color.
I would seriously love just a simple color wheel or RGB input.
Why does the color picker tool automatically add the color to “My Palette”? I’d rather it just picked the color, so I could use it.
