Hi, I'm Latch (they/she). :) I've loved video games since I was a kid. I play a mix of modern and retro games. I am drawn to games with cute/colorful aesthetics and games featuring animals. I enjoy writing brief reviews for the games I play so I can recall what I liked and disliked about them.

Very cute physics-based puzzle game where you play as an alien doing various odd jobs for people. I love the artstyle and the silly characters and scenarios. You can use money you earn to buy hats for your character - some have different abilities, but I didn't bother trying them all and instead wore the cute little stuffed dog the whole time. Some levels towards the end of the game are frustrating. You can earn medals for completing bonus objectives in stages - the hints for the objectives are very small pictures, and I found some of them to be vague and cryptic. The soundtrack eventually became grating for me because almost all of it is different versions of the same song.

The best way I can describe this game is "unique". It's made almost entirely of stock assets, which gives it a distinct look and feel. It has a very silly and lighthearted mystery story told through text-to-speech reading from a group chat. The story has a few holes in it, but I still found it very entertaining.

The minigames are all very creative, and many were unlike anything I've seen before. A lot of them have unusual controls that are difficult but fun to master. My favorites were mitosis bowling and making applesauce. The only one I outright disliked was the outer space skateboarding one. My cats really enjoyed watching the eraser game and the mouse game.

I really enjoyed this game and I definitely recommend checking it out if you like absurd humor and WarioWare-esque weird minigames.

A game similar to picross with a very nice aesthetic. It's less of a puzzle game and more of a "zone out" game - not what I was looking for. Tiles will have a number on them, and you have to stitch that many tiles of the same color connected to that tile. Since you can only stitch rectangles and squares (and not all kinds of shapes, like in Piczle Lines and similar games), there are only so many different ways to solve a puzzle and they all pretty much feel the same. For example, when you see a 3, 5, or a 7, you know that can only be a straight line. This is why even the "brain twister" puzzles are very easy. The game tries to increase the difficulty with some puzzles that are very large, but as you are only given one small section of a puzzle to solve at a time, this doesn't add challenge - it only adds tedium.
