MY LATEST GAMING ADDICTION!

GENRE: CASUAL, CLICKER, STRATEGY, IDLER, SIMULATION

Nodebuster is a super addictive clicker that let’s you bust nodes and collect resources.

You can then use the resource you collect from busting nodes to upgrade your skills and abilities.

The upgrades are incremental and allow for some insanely fun gameplay!

The game’s skill tree has a lot of options which means you’ll be able to play again and again.

Overall a really solid game that I’d recommend. :)

A CREATIVE CARD BASED ISLAND-DRAWING GAME

GENRE: PUZZLE, CARD GAME, GRID BASED, DRAWING

This is a really unique game that can also become addictive!

Tiny Islands is a minimalist, map-making puzzle game created by David King.

You’ll design a rustic island chain by placing landscape features—like forests, mountains, villages, churches, and boats—on a grid.

Each feature has specific placement rules, such as boats needing to avoid each other or churches thriving near houses.

Periodically, you’ll need to draw coastlines around your islands, shaping their final layout.

The game scores you based on how effectively you adhere to these placement rules, but the emphasis is more on creativity and discovery than competition.

With quick gameplay and a fresh deck of cards each day, Tiny Islands offers a relaxing, yet strategic, experience.

It’s also FREE to play!
