Platformers

• Superhero (2008): Tight, stylish, with a unique grappling-hook mechanic.
• Skywire (2006) & Skywire 2: Cable-car physics puzzles across hazardous tracks.
• Bomb Chicken (2018): Lay bombs to boost, block, and blast—clever puzzle-platforming.

Puzzle / Logic

• Ridiculous Fishing (2013): Tilt to avoid fish, tap to shoot them skyward, then reel for cash. Absurd, addictive, mobile-native.
• Ice Breaker (2009): Slice ice to free trapped Vikings; physics + strategy.
• Pointless (2010): Minimalist logic puzzles—draw lines to guide particles. Deceptively deep.

Action / Arcade

• Bad Ice-Cream (2010–2013): Maze-chase action; build/break ice walls, collect fruit, avoid enemies. 2-player co-op.
• Space Grunts (2016): Turn-based roguelike shooter. Tactical, tough, great pixel art.
• Gunbrick (2015): Rotate a square tank—one face is a gun, one a shield. Brilliant one-button design.

Multiplayer / Party

• Cobalt (2011): Fast-paced local multiplayer arena combat. Roll, slide, slow-mo.
