Is This Yours?
We're all inexplicably attached to our possessions, so you can understand the panic we go into when a wayward sock or - heaven forbid - our phone goes missing. Thank goodness for the Lost and Found then, but when you're the exhausted employee behind the counter, every query is a reason to rage against The Man.
This hidden-object puzzler will have you fulfilling passengers' requests at the airport by looking for their missing items, all while a timer counts down until they get impatient and you get fired. But when it all gets too much for you to handle, fret not - the Zen mode will give you all the time in the world to look for lost items at your leisure.

Feed the Pup
This adorable narrative puzzler will have you matching tiles across minimalist grids while fulfilling your grandmother's last wish, with the titular pup thrown into the mix to make the already charming game even more appealing. As you clear through the match-3 puzzles, you'll unlock more of the narrative along the way, with a lovely soundtrack serenading you in the background too to cap off the feel-good vibes.
You'll also unlock a diary and discover more of the story as you go along. And of course, you can jazz up how your pup looks too just because he's a good doggo!

Dunk City Dynasty
Ever wondered what it would be like to play streetball with the NBA greats? Dunk City Dynasty offers a colourful virtual alternative where you can dive into 3v3 streetball matches across an officially licensed franchise. You can go at it with Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant among other superstars, and climb up the ranked matches to prove you're the king of the streets.
Of course, given it's all about swag here, you can also customise your players' looks to spice up the competition, or team up with your besties in instant battles and streetball games. There's a snazzy sneaker workshop too, by the way, because you can't have street basketball without some sick kicks!

Night Slashers: Remake
When hordes of the undead rise from the grave and the city is filled with things that go bump in the night, who you gonna call? You can obviously rely on the Night Slashers given their name itself, now with enhanced visuals to make each bloody zombie-killing spree more visceral than the last.
Controls and mechanics have been upgraded as well for your monster-hunting pleasure. The classic arcade beat 'em up offers the option to stick to the OG soundtrack too if you're feeling a little nostalgic, or you can choose the modernised version to fuel your quest to rid the world of supernatural foes should you so wish. Ready to save the world from the apocalypse?

I, Slime
Lead your slimy protagonist across an idle RPG in I, Slime, a charming fantasy adventure where you battle through monsters and build your town at the same time. Typical of the genre, there are plenty of auto-battles to dive into, along with quick progression and idle rewards for instant gratification.
As you clear dungeons and collect bountiful loot, you'll also unlock cute cosmetics from slimy hairstyles to cool weapons - just because you're a blob of goo doesn't mean you can't look fab, right?
