Breathing new life into the puzzle genre, this game blends classic block-pushing mechanics with a compelling story and inventive gameplay. Developed by Pocketpulp, it builds on Sokoban-style puzzles, encouraging players to think creatively as Inky the octopus navigates an alien space station on a rescue mission.

The standout feature is its open-world approach, using flip screen mechanics that require players to solve puzzles within a larger, interconnected environment. This, along with diverse objects and obstacles, enriches the experience. Though the art style received mixed reactions, the visuals effectively support puzzle-solving.

Since its July 2023 release, the game has gained attention for its clever design and balanced puzzles, offering depth and accessibility to both puzzle enthusiasts and casual players.

Slip Speed revitalizes the racing genre with its MS-DOS inspired, space-themed races. Developed by Thomas “VOXEL” Purnell, players navigate through 16 diverse tracks, piloting a unique spacecraft with upgradeable features like speed and handling, emphasizing skill over combat. Its retro aesthetic complements the gameplay, offering an immersive experience despite the simplistic graphics and repetitive sound effects during collisions.
Available on itch.io with a demo and a physical edition, Slip Speed is a testament to classic racing’s enduring appeal, reimagined for modern players who cherish skillful navigation and strategic racing mechanics.
