Oct 17, 2024

Dear friends,

I hope you are all doing well. This is issue 42, the ultimate answer to life, the universe and everything. As an added bonus to the ultimate answer, I've discovered puzzle platformers, rhythm-based adventures, and strategy to roguelike shooters. :)

Let's get started.

| Upcoming Games

Super Cave Boy

In Super Cave Boy, your platforming skills will be tested in a series of one-screen puzzles that limit your actions. Each stage provides a different set of restrictions—maybe you can jump three times and attack twice, but that’s it. You’ll need to get creative with your movements and think ahead to make it through the increasingly difficult levels. This game combines puzzle-solving with 2D platforming in a way that keeps you on your toes and eager to try again.
