1
Divide By Sheep 2
Indulge in some mad mathematical mayhem in Divide By Sheep 2, a colourful puzzler that aims to improve your math skills by sending innocent sheep to their untimely demise. While that might sound a tad too morbid for a game that supposedly helps you out with your logic and memory, the vibrant visuals and adorable art style can lull you into a false sense of security, and before long, you might just be itching to kill off these bovine creatures for your own intellectual betterment.
With evolving obstacles across 150 puzzles, you won't run out of ways to divide and eliminate your sheep, whether that's sending them off as food for the Kraken or watching them burn alive into a fiery crisp. The best part of it all is that it's entirely ad-free so you can divide your sheep undisturbed.

Torerowa
Exploring dark dungeons and risking your life for precious loot can be infinitely more fun when you've got your online BFFs by your side, and Torerowa can help you do just that. The roguelike dungeon-crawler offers plenty of treasure chests for you to collect - the catch is that you're not the only one who's hunting for that shiny loot.
Form a 3-player party and take down fiendish foes in quick 10-minute matches. You can also aim for the other party's loot by defeating them and hoarding their treasure for yourself - that is, if they don't get to you first.

Demon Squad: Idle RPG
Who has the time for the hardcore grind these days? Idle RPGs offer quick progression and pressure-free growth if you're looking to save the world without too much effort, and with Demon Squad, you can form the ultimate dream team from an interesting lineup of demon-based heroes.
Train them, equip them, and send them off to auto-battle their way through dungeons and battlefields without breaking a sweat. You can even continue to gather offline rewards without having to go online - you don't even need to lift a finger.

Baron of Blood
This retro-inspired 2D platformer harkens back to the good ol' days of side-scrollers, tasking you with fighting your way through killer bees and blobs of slime on a quest for vengeance. The pixel art visuals add to the nostalgic vibes, and as you leap across spiky traps and falling platforms, you can collect coins to purchase handy items that'll help you on your way.
Falling rocks, jumping lava, a gigantic tornado hurtling towards you, and purple tentacles wriggling their way up from the ground - there's no shortage of ways you can platform into your demise. There are 24 different levels to explore across 5 zones, with each one offering challenging bosses you need to take down to win.

Levels II
Levels II lets you merge similar colours together to clear the board and progress through the game - but with monsters!
While the minimalist puzzler might seem like your run-of-the-mill match-3 puzzler at first glance, it's actually got a cleverly hidden depth to it where you'll not only need to defeat monsters to gather your loot, but you'll also have to stay one step ahead as each move will determine which tile will pop up on the board next. Can you strategise your moves well enough to hit that high score?
