We asked around the office what games people are enjoying and here’s what people had to say 🙌
Memory Dash by Anurag Ranjan "I didn't think I could get this stressed out over a taco. You really have to lock in and memorize the safe path before the tiles flip!"
Snapway Surfers by Chizara "A perfect homage to the endless runner classics. The speed ramps up so quickly, making it the ultimate game to play when you just have five minutes to kill."
Idle Lemon Co. by Ninsky "Dangerously addictive. I started out just setting up a simple stand, and suddenly I'm optimizing a whole backyard tycoon empire."
Cybmoji by Alex "The retro arcade feel combined with my own Bitmoji in a space suit is top-tier. The zero-g platforming is tight and super satisfying."
Shortcut Slider by AOE "Pure, chaotic fun. Finding the absolute best angle to launch yourself off the slide and skip half the track to steal first place is the best feeling."
Bitmoji Tower by pr4tyu5h "Playing this in AR right on my desk is a blast. The physics are incredibly sensitive, which means my friends' Bitmojis are constantly tumbling over."
