April 2025
A really decent Warioware style game with a distinct character and sense of humor of its own. It definitely got quite a few chuckles out of me and even though the main story mode is kind of short, there are numerous Steam Workshop levels that are worth playing through at least once.

March 2025
A relic of frantic, absurd digital interaction. McPixel offers fleeting, stressful amusement by weaponizing trial-and-error against a relentless clock. Its charm lies in its deliberate rejection of logic, a brief dopamine hit before the inevitable explosion or the equally inevitable platform-enforced obsolescence. Amusing, disposable, and a stark reminder that your digital purchases have a shelf life dictated by forces beyond your control. Acquire if you enjoy controlled chaos and planned decay.

This is stupid fun, I can't believe it was in my library for so long before I tried it!

It's a series of fun, random pixelated scenarios where you have to prevent disasters. By doing completely random things that have completely random outcomes. It's a very simple game, but it's supposed to be this way. You win by trial and error usually, as it almost never makes sense... but that's the fun of it. You get to see all the completely nonsensical interactions that go on.

A classic, short but very enjoyable point & click game. Don't be mistaken by it's first impression, it doesn't rely on "LOL Random" humour as much you may think which make it interesting when the solution is actually very logical within game world. On the side note, the game is REALLY wacky so some folks may not necesarily enjoy the jokes, so keep that in mind.. Regardless, it's a 10/10 game in terms of execution. If you seek to play something silly, this may take your interest.
