Skate City is a skating game that’ll take you to real-world skating spots in places across the world.

Papetura

Papetura is a point-and-click adventure game crafted entirely out of paper. The dialogue-less story follows Pape and Tura, who must solve puzzles and interact with both their environments and other characters, all to stop the flaming monsters threatening to burn down their world. The game features music by Czech artist Floex, who you might know for composing the soundtrack to Machinarium.

Flowing Lights

Flowing Lights is an arcade puzzle shooter, where every encounter against your enemies is a puzzle to be solved. The arcade-inspired gameplay requires much trial-and-error, but failure is a part of the game, and if things don’t go your way, you can restart instantly. Apart from a 4-tier ranking system for each level, the game also features online leaderboards for an added challenge.
