Sir Lovalot is far from a complicated game, but that is its charm. It's purely a game that you jump (pun intended) into for 5-10 minutes just to see if you can boost your high score a tad further. It's cheap, it's cheerful, it's worth a play.

Horizon Chase is racing with an old school theme.

Leather jacket, pumped up kicks, blingy blang, green skin, sunken nose, yellow and clotted eyes, yeah, that is Chompy, my pet zombie and she is hecka cool. Easy gameplay, a little addicting, not too gross or gory, My Pet Zombie is fun and pretty cute. For a zombie.

It’s the kind of game I’ve already found myself using to wake my brain up properly in the morning and I can see such a trend continuing.

One dose of Metroid with a dash of Game Boy visuals and lots of fun thrown in too.
