Bearplane

Available on: iOS + Android + Steam

Bearplane

It's time to rain havoc down from the sky in Bearplane, a bloody shoot 'em up inspired by the equally bloody era of WWII. Now, while the cartoon visuals might make it seem like it's a family-friendly affair, this 1940s-style animated adventure is anything but, as you'll need to rid the skies of your foes by any gory means possible.

What's even more interesting here is that the titular bear is loosely inspired by the story of Wojtek from the real world - an actual, real bear that served alongside Polish soldiers in the war. So if you'd love to know what it feels like to embody a rocket-powered bear - or team up with your co-op partner Rifle Rat, no less - now's your chance.

Samago

Speaking of daily challenges, Samago offers a new level every day to put your precision platforming to the test. You'll play as a pixel-art frog whose only goal is to leap through platforms to be the best of the best. If you can manage to make it to the top of the leaderboards, you'll have 24 hours to gloat until a brand new level generates the next day - and you'll have to start all over again.

As the leaderboards reset daily, everyone gets a fair chance to prove their worth - and if you ever feel like you need a break, you can decorate your lovely little froggy house with accessories and call it a day - until the next level arrives, that is.

Squishmallows Match

Build your squishy squad across charming match-3 mechanics in Squishmallows Match, where you connect tiles to clear a board but with fluffy Squishmallows thrown in the mix. It's all about the good vibes here, because how can anyone resist the call of the great squishiness?

Clearing through the match-3 levels lets you pull from the Claw Machine to build your Squishmallows collection, and each one you pull has different rarities and its own backstory too. Then, you can flaunt your collection on your Player Feed - you might even chance upon limited-time drops that coincide with Squishmallows events IRL!
