I actually got this in a random game bundle a while back, and it was one of the better games in that pack, but for some reason I didn’t put much time into it. Over the last few months I’ve been doing the odd run here and there, eventually finishing it today.

As the name suggests, it’s a Survivorslike. In this one, you’re a frog riding a mech because of course you are, and you have two basic weapons – the frog has a rubbish gun, and the robot has a rubbish sword. As you slay the many thousands of baddies, you level up and unlock other weapons or improvements for your gun or sword, just like you would in other games in the genre. Here, they include rockets, blasts that knock back groups of foes, or freeze them, roll everyone up like you’re playing Katamari, or for reasons not readily explainable, summon a fleet of dustbin lorries to mow down everyone.

At the end of a run (either you die or you survive long enough and get extra bonuses) your skills reset, but you can use the items and gold collected to improve various skills more permanently. Again, like other games in this genre.

It’s a bit weird, and as you’re riding a mech it’s slower and clunkier than, say, Vampire Survivors, but it is different enough to warrant its existence. I liked it a lot, but it is only really playable for one run or two at a time. I think it being slow, and the seemingly slow build up of power each run, makes it feel like a bit of a chore if you don’t space it out.

You’ll never guess from the title of the game what sort of game this is and what you’re supposed to do. No, not punch Nazis (although that would make a good game), it’s finding – get this – frogs. Incredible.

In a dramatic change from the ten thousand “hidden cats” games currently available, this is a large, scrollable image with hidden frogs in it. Click on them to “find” them, and when you’ve got them all (and all the gnomes, and worms, and various other things for… reasons), you win! Oh, except some of the frogs are toads. How can you tell frogs from toads? Frogs are slimy and green, and toads are toadaly different. GONG

(Actually, there’s no real different between frogs and toads – toads are just a types of frog)

Where was I. Yes, finding frogs. It was an enjoyable hour or so. I’ve nothing against those cat games either, by the way – and have played a few – it’s just there’s only so many hidden cat games you need, and it’s nice to have a change of art style and animal for a bit. Also, the frogs are very cute.

Unboxathon is a simple, relatively short, clicker game. In this one (and I feel like I’ve played a lot of these recently), you buy boxes, open them, and sell the random contents. As you make more money and collect more stuff also found in the boxes, you can buy and unlock better boxes with higher value contents.

There are upgrades which do things like improve the chances of rarer items, or allow you to open boxes with fewer clicks, or, well you know – the usual sort of things you’d expect in a numbers go up game. Higher and higher numbers which generate even higher and higher numbers.

There’s nothing special about Unboxathon, and it didn’t really have the hook that some clickers (like Gambler’s Table or Timber Rush) seems to have, but it’s OK to kill some time, I suppose.

Yes! Another incremental clicker game with Luck Be A Landlord/Balatro nods! This one isn’t anything to do with cards or trees though. No, it’s all set around a penny falls machine.

You put coins into it, that pushes coins out. Coins that come out earn you money. Somehow, you make money out of this – unlike a real one – because you have special coins that can be bought between rounds, are stored in an expandable clip, and do magic things. So you can get coins that are rabbits and then fox coins hunt them and increase your score. Or you can electrify coins, or have giant coins, or all sorts.

There’s also a combo meter, which builds as you push coins off the edge and is cancelled if you spend too long between doing so. Build it enough and you trigger a bonus wheel to spin, with “prizes” like more coins or massive towers of coins.

Like other games of this sort, it’s getting the right combination of special coins, a bit of timing, and a lot of luck that allows you to get higher and higher scores on each run. And, like other games of this sort, it’s pretty addictive. Raccoin isn’t as good as Luck Be A Landlord or Balatro, but it is decent enough.

As I enjoyed Proverbs so much, of course I was going to download this, which is the same sort of puzzle game by the same developer. This time, instead of plague-era images depicting weird proverbs, it’s a collage of representations of events that happened in 2025. Some funny, some stupid, some sad.

I say “the same sort of puzzle game”, but I actually mean “it’s the same game but with different pictures”. Which is exactly what I wanted, so that’s fine, and as a bonus it is completely free. Unfortunately, it suffers from the Impossible To Use On A Steam Deck controls issue that Proverbs also had, but was just as easily fixed to work how I wanted it.
