Island of the Lost
Best casual game I’ve seen this year. It’s more involved than the demo may make it appear, with booby traps, hard to find objects, etc. There are vast areas to explore and you really get the sense of being “lost” at times.
A hub is available which offers access to any level. Game controllers are supported but I wish you could redefine the keyboard/mouse controls. I also wish you could run a bit faster since the levels are so large.
The visual aesthetics, level design, and music are fantastic. A no-brainer for the low cost.

A fun and relaxing item collecting game with beautifully crafted levels. The atmosphere is great, I love the art style, the music is nice and relaxing, the levels are fun to explore (You can even get outside the map somewhere in level 4 and explore where you’re not supposed to. I won’t tell you where though, can’t have the dev putting an invisible wall there. He’ll have to figure it out himself too if we wants to block it off) and figuring out the secrets in each level is fun as well.
All in all, a very nice game to just lean back in your chair and relax with.

Penko Park
Want to go on a weird safari? well then heres a game for you!
Penko park is an exploration game in the vein of Pokemon snap, you sit in a cart and are driven on a tour of the abandoned Penko wildlife park, as you travel through the park you take snapshots of the various animals that inhabit the place, in many ways its like a rail shooter.
Of course theres more to it that simply riding passively through the park, there are numerous collectables to find and alternate paths to open up. And simply finding the various animals isn’t all there is either most will have multiple poses to collect so you have to figure out how to get them in addition to just finding the animal, for the most part this is fairly easy as the interactions involve only the target animal itself, but there are a few situations where things get complex (like using one creature to scare another) its just a shame that there aren’t more of these in the game (like scaring away a predator causing a new creature to come out or something) but I can see how that would be alot more work for such a small team.

It’s Pokemon Snap on Steam.
So, I really liked Pokemon Snap on N64. I know, I know, it’s a game for five-year-olds, but it was so much fun - travel around different locations, keep your eyes peeled, take some good pictures. Well, that’s what this game is… just with the random monsters of a different imagination. It’s kinda weird - this game is quite a bit simpler than Snap, and yet… I think I liked this one more. Heck, the graphics aren’t even up to the Snap level (Snap was 3D, super animated, blah blah blah… This one is hand-drawn-y, simple animations, etc) - and I still think I like this one better. My ONLY disappointment was how quickly I “beat” the game - I’m showing 4.2 hours logged as of writing this, and that was with trying to take my time to enjoy (rather than trying to “steamroll” the game).

Roxy Raccoon
Editing my review as I have played more and the dev has already updated some prior problems and is working on more
I am still playing through this, so my opinion may change. The game is indeed cute with a simple but enjoyable story line. There are many raccoons and other animals to enjoy. And the game is a lot bigger then I expected, lots of levels, unlockables, and hidden secrets. The music is pleasant and fitting, and I see no issues with graphics.
However, this game is not without faults.

Roxy Raccoon is a 3d platformer about collecting gems and gold stars from a variety of levels. The gems are like the music notes from Banjo Kazooie and gold stars are the jiggies. You get the stars by completing challenges like races, stealth missions, catching an evasive rabbit, or finding enough hidden objects.
This game is made by a solo dev and he’s very responsive to feedback so be sure to send him some love.

Cat Fish Island
TLDR at the end of the review.
This is a chill, exploration game. It is short, you can get 100% completion in one hour.
Before I played this game, I was having a pretty bad game, but this game helped make my day a little bit better. You are an adveturer searching for legends and new experiences, and that’s when you arrive to the island in search of a legendary fish. The story is pretty simple and childish, but it doesn’t worsen the experience.
Gameplay: It’s okay, sometimes it feels a bit luck based, but if you use some technique you can easily catch any fish. The exploration is pretty good and smooth, allowing you to enjoy the island.

Short adventure about healing people’s inner worlds from corruption
You play as Azure the frog healer in the village floating on the sky. The lands of people’s inner world’s have been corrupted by dark-ooze and the only way to stop it from spreading all over the environment is by cleaning it. The corruption may spawn vile creatures, who spread the corruption further. Use your trusty cleangun to shoot foam that corrodes the vile spread and the hydration spell slab for rejuvenating the lands. It is your duty to heal the villagers, will you help?
It is up to you to clean the spreading vile corruption, so pick up your cleangun and start blasting!
Each area’s corruption is unique in some way and as the corruption mutates, don’t be frightened though as your array of tools will also upgrade along the way.
After getting the corruption cleaned the lands are dry and lifeless, that’s there the hydration spell slab comes in.
Use the hydration spell to breath new life into the lands like a painter with a blank canvas, the environment will thank you!
You live in a small village on a floating island somewhere high above the clouds, oddly enough you or the other villages don’t know how you and the others got there in the first place.
The village is cozy and peaceful, away from problems of the other worlds and a home for you and others. You’ll also have your own house to decorate and furnish to your liking, pick up those hydration crystals to buy some furniture!

Relaxing game that might remind some of you of an idle/clicker game. Still, it feels different because you will neither reach high numbers nor unlock a lot of things.
Even though, at the moment (13th of January, 2021), there is not a lot of content (20-25 hours needed to get all of the achievements, grinding required), it was enjoyable all along, mainly thanks to the cute aspect (music and graphics).
Do not hesitate to give it a try !
