I played Daniel Linssen's Leap Year, and I highly recommend it! $5 for a delightful single sitting. Goofy mechanics whose depth you slowly discover by exploring and experimenting. Some of the most brilliant level design I've seen.

Mighty Switch Force is apparently really fun. The music is like candy. Same composer as Shovel Knight -- Jake Kaufman.

BOTW was my first Zelda game. Absolutely zero background needed. If I hadn't heard of the other games, I would have thought it was the first one in the series.

Wonderful, complex, textured music. Fades in and out of the ambience as if just another sound of nature.

Janelle Monae - The ArchAndroid

Cyborg woman defies her programming and falls in love with human man, thereby becoming a government target, and as chase ensues, she ascends to messianic status. But if you want, ignore the delicate lyricism and allegorical social commentary and focus on a stream of delicious melodies, meticulous arrangements, and effortless genre-hopping between funk, neo-soul, pastoral folk, theatrical orchestra, bossa nova... It's an album that begs to be loved.

Falling Lightblocks was last updated on January 22. Very slick. Looks like you can grab the APK on itch.io.

Not to butt in -- we like a lot of the same music, and it sounds like you might enjoy Sheena Ringo's album Kalk Samen Kuri no Hana. Every song has enough ideas to fill an album. If you have favorite albums you'd like to recommend, please do!

BaBopByeYa - Janelle Monae from The ArchAndroid (2010)

A mini suite of lounge jazz, MGM-style orchestra, and bossa nova, and maybe the only possible conclusion to its colossal album.

Not a question for me, I'm afraid. I've never touched League. I get my fix from SAP, whose greatest strength may well be the clarity and simplicity of character stats and abilities.

It sounds like you might really like auto-battlers, also called "auto-chess" style games. Auto Chess started as a Dota 2 mod, and now Dota has their own called Underlords. League of Legends also has an auto-battler spinoff; it's called Teamfight Tactics. And don't sleep on the indie Super Auto Pets. It's pure fun.

Yes! Great recommendation. Neō Wax Bloom is an overwhelming 40 minutes, but Iglooghost's colorful sound palette and sense of melody keeps it intensely listenable. I'm amazed by how he fuses recorded instruments and synthesized soundscapes like it's nothing.
