Domino Sandbox
Absolutely fab game, Even from the first 1 1/2 hour I have had joy in this game, moderately high physics and a great way to relax just watching all of the dominoes topple. It may be in early development but it’s great!

A modest domino game, although with a few downsides:
No options tab to change anything, while this game doesn’t need options as much as other games, the idea is there.
Not sure how to make the dominos diagonal.
Can’t make the skybox itself change colors.
Ability to name save files.
Only 3 types of dominos, I’m sure the developer will add more soon.
There are probably a few more I could think of.
Here’s the pros:
Lightweight, only 32 megabytes if I recall.
Ability to stack dominos.
Undoing dominoes.

A Planet of Mine
A cute time killer that its easy to get lost on for hours at a time. The random planet load outs and landing positions can make some planets practically impossible to win which can take a while to spot. Re-starting is fairly easy though.

Very enjoyable little game~
Takes a bit of learning but it’s very fun~ you can find some good info and tips with a quick google search that might help you get started.
I used to have it on mobile but I find it much more enjoyable on PC and it runs very well.
Lots of races (I believe 16) and different ways to play. Discovers and exploration. Planets are very unique and not all the same.
You can also destroy a rivals planet completely or be friendly and trade with them.
The gist is you start on a single planet and harvest resources and build different constructs. After a while you ascend (which you can do several times) and more technologies become available. Soon you will be colonizing multiple planets.

Home Creator
I really wanted to enjoy this game, but found myself very disappointed to find that the amount of items you can use to decorate is very very limited. Also the lack of any info on how to move the camera or place items was annoying but it was easy enough to figure out on my own. It has potential to be good if more objects and wall/floor options could be added but as this game stands right now I can not recommend it. But if your looking for a cheap home decorating game and don’t care about very limited options then this is a good one to choose.

very limited on what furniture you have & you only have 3 rooms to do.
theres no option page to figure out the controls.
if you want a proper home decorating game stick with house flipper or even the tenants :)

SpaceBlocc
SpaceBlocc is a colorful minimalistic spaceship building game. A mysterious world you have to escape before it destroys you.
BUILD YOUR SHIP
Choose among 7 different parts to build your ship. By correctly managing your weight, thrust, and energy available you will be able to travel a different speeds. Slow and fast both have their advantages and disadvantages. Too slow and you will get destroyed by asteroid rains. Too fast and you won’t have time to destroy obstacles before colliding with them.
UNLOCK NEW PARTS
You start with only the minimum. Unlock new parts as you progress through the game. These parts are required to advance to next levels, and obviously will make your ship stronger.
RESCUE LOST ASTRONAUTS
Rescue astronauts that were a bit too bold. Some are just out there ready to be picked up. Some decided it would be fun to have to be rescued in more dangerous areas.
Block Motion
if you like infinifactory, then just buy this beautiful game.

Good for scratching that Infinifactory itch. Not quite as polished, but brings some new ideas to the table.

Fortification: tower defence
You have a main base, where your escape vehicle is. you protect it by creating turrets along the way to it.
where this game STANDS OUT is it has unlimited amounts of maps, as they are autogenerated from a random text. it has multiplayer. and you can alter the route on the maps by manipulating the ground up or down, this game is not just good, ITS GREAT! buy it. just do it, and try it, i bet you will not refund it. its THAT good.

I really want to like this game. Unfortunately it’s quite rough around the edges and has some major issues with it.
A few of the bigger issues that ding this game quite hard are.
1. Neirodata isn’t always rewarded after launching your rocket. This is the biggest issue since Neirodata is your research points in the game. It stops advancement in the game and getting the upgrades to optimize your towers. I had a massive source of frustration with this after 5-6 runs in a row and not getting a single reward. Even after attempting to play the game more I only get rewarded every 2-3 runs at best. This kills most of the fun with the game being the entire progression system, since beyond that its bare-bones.

Panda City
Late game there is a lot of lag but over all a very enjoyable experience.
– Real player with 2.7 hrs in game
I played for a few hours and it seemed like a fantastic game with a lot of potential. A simple and addictive game. Of course, I see that there are several errors, such as that no more pandas arrive to my city and the game remains constant. Another example is when I load my game, there are buildings that I eliminated and they appear on top of others that I had already placed. Despite this, I loved the game and would like to see more updates to fix the bugs and also add more content. Sereusly, I WANT MORE UPDATES, PLEASE!!!

Physics Cake
I was just checking to see what it does and its fun. If you are bored give it a try.
– Real player with 7.9 hrs in game
Physics cake is a wonderfull physic engine type of game. I have played the game for a few hours now and enjoyed every minute of that experience. The many achievements was a huge plus for me given the fact that i am an achievement hunter. I personal kinda wish there were more (variety of item types to interact with on the screen; However given the scope of the game and its intentions, my request ( is selfish and nitpicky at best). Now that i am thinking about it i would have liked to seen a cake item buried somewhere in the game , even if didnt “functional properly”. (*given fact that the game involves cake in the name).

Plumber: the Pipe Rush
I really like this game. It’s a simple concept, but challenging and different every time. And it’s fun to see how complicated you can make the pipeline. The only issue is that I wish that when it does fail, it was easier to see the board to see what went wrong. A bunch of stuff is displayed over the board after a failure which makes it difficult to see the problem.

Note: As of reviewing, I have played the first ten levels.
This is a fun game which at its most basic is about using pipes to transport toxic waste from point A to point B without a leak. However, the gameplay contains a lot more nuance and presents additional challenges as you progess through the levels. The pipes come in multiple shapes and some of them add extra directions for the waste to travel while others create a “dead end”, allowing you to make the waste travel a certain direction. You will not always have the pieces you want, so there is some tetris-esque strategy involved in deciding when to trash one of your current pieces to try for a better replacement or to improvise with what you currently have. Additionally, some levels already begin with pipe pieces present, so you have the option of placing your pieces strategically to connect with these or to work around them as if they were an obstacle.
