Casual, and yet surprisingly strategic/nuanced. Reminds me of playing marbles or curling, but with an apocalyptic setting and visually unique style. Addictive ;) Reminds me of: If you liked Subbuteo, there's a good chance you'll like RagTag. Windybeard is a fun and friendly developer, and RagTag is another enjoyable addition to his line-up. As always, the art is unique and homegrown in a way that you won't see anything else quite like it - he has a personal style truly his own, and it always entertains me =). RagTag brings back memories of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and weird 80's Saturday morning cartoons of the like. I feel like RagTag could have been on the Super Nintendo (that's a compliment!), and yet it has that modern finish to the gameplay that shows you it's been crafted in this era. The controls and mechanics are tight - pieces slide and knock around just like you would assume they should, and you know when you've made a great shot. There is certainly skill involved in playing here, but just balanced enough that you're always having fun, rather than face palming over some unattainable victory. I think a good way to sum up my initial experience is to say I loaded it up with the intent of getting a good 20 minutes in just to get a feel for the game, and ended up playing it for an hour and a half before I said "Okay, time to stop before this gets out of hand, lol." It's challenging and additive, and just fun to play. I got a "Just one more level, I will stop after this one" vibe from it, and it proved true as I couldn't put it down until I had beaten the first chapter, or "planet." Fun, and reasonably priced, I think RagTag is a safe bet for getting your money's worth if it looks like your kind of game =). If you enjoy it, be sure to check out the rest of the developer's games - I've played a number of them and have had a lot of fun with everything I have tried. I especially recommend Dreamstones =)

Physics-based board game that plays a little like shuffleboard. The game is simple but I enjoyed it. There are no difficulty levels however, and the AI could be a lot better. Its aim is always much much worse than any human's could ever be. There were many times where I thought I had completely screwed myself, only to watch the AI either not take advantage of my vulnerable position on the next turn, or actually screw itself even worse.

A very addictive game that seems straightforward on the surface but opens up lots of strategies once you begin unlocking more pieces with skills and maps that require more planning. The artwork is all beautifully hand-drawn including the cutscenes with a nice coherent story that is narrated. The campaign is fun and knocking the enemy pieces off the board is very satisfying. Earning coins allows you to play more surgical levels in an arcade mode once the story is finished, which is a nice touch. Since it's great fun to play I feel it has lots of replay value and I hope more DLC or a sequel is planned for the future. All in all, there is nothing to fault with this game, a solid piece of entertainment which I would highly recommend. Shifter is bae. (FYI, playing through Wine 4.1 for MacOS which works fine)

A game the combines Sci-fi and Subbuteo (for those of us old enough to remember). You basically flick your players around the levels hitting the enemies and trying to knock one off. Once you knock one off, you can knock off a few more. You win the levels by knocking off all the enemies. It has nice art, music (also available to buy), sound effects and story driven cutscenes. Plenty of options to play with in regards to the unlockable characters. An easy game to pick up and play whenever you have a spare 5 minutes. Includes achievements for those of you who like to grind to complete it 100%. Includes an Arcade Mode once you finish the game which is a nice touch if you want to keep playing. I would recommend to my friends if I had any.

Another fantastic little indie gem from WindyBeardGames. A really fun mechanic that has remained fun throughout. The game manages this by when you think 'Ok I got this' it throws new things at you, it keeps up the interest by unlocking new units with different abilities as you play, while introducing new enemy units with their own powers. These new units mean new different strategies that can be played around with. Fun, challenging but with a nice calm curve. Side note - the cut scenes were fantastic and really added to the game. Art is top notch and the price point is nice defo worth the price. As another review said WARSTRICH SUICIDE STRATS FOR THE WIN! Also the game has Mech Prawns.

Such a simple concept. Turn-based tactics with a putt-putt golf drag-and-pull mechanic has surprising depth. I thought it was a little trite and silly at first, but it has a "just one more round"-addictive quality. My only complaint is it's too short.

really fun action-strategy game, enjoyed every second of it so far.

Ragtag started as a fun game, but grew on me the more I played it. I first felt like it would be easy... and was flicking my units aggressively into the enemy units hoping for miracles. Then realised how bad I was. But over time, without really knowing it, I ended up getting pretty strategic and thoughtful about unit choice and my shots. The game surprised me with its replayability factor, as the different units you unlock later in the game can then be used on earlier levels. The par requirements for levels for me weren't too easy, I ended up having to replay a bunch of the levels in order to earn the medals so I could try the arcade mode. Have really enjoyed so far, and look forward to playing through the arcade modes now.

Great game that offers a lot of fun and is always a nice little thing to play on the side, while talking to others, listening to audio books or something like that. One of those nice easy to learn, hard to master games. But also not overly complex to the point of being overkill. Just a nice overall balance. Learn to choose your characters and how to aim and you are good to go. Or in short: Great game.
