Game 87: Sokoban (WASM-4) Mar2026 This is a very beginner friendly Sokoban to the point it honestly doesn't feel like a puzzle game. Like you'll struggle just as much with a 10 piece puzzle set. I don't exactly think every puzzle game should be hard mind you, but with how many puzzles you get with this game, it just doesn't hold much to anything, like a paper bag holding a gallon of water. Like yes technically paper bags can hold water, but it's not very good at it. Sadly, the same thing applies to this WASM-4 Sokoban. It is technically Sokoban, the puzzle game to move and manage boxes, but it's not much of one.

Game 90: It's Corn! Mar2026 This is kinda hypnotic, and I have to wonder if it's because of the fact it's corn? Regardless this is a pretty safe and easy point-getter than doesn't really have much challenge beyond keeping your combo up. The way the corn lines up, and how generous the hitbox is for your corn collector really makes this a simple task to the point it becomes relaxing. Effectively you can go on till the score stops, but largely you've seen pretty much everything in roughly 2 minutes. Still a pretty relaxing game despite everything, but nothing really simulating or notable. It's Corn!

Game 91: Pong (WASM-4) Mar2026 It's basically just a worse version of Pong, and you wouldn't know it at a glance. A lot of what makes Pong work as a game is how much you can influence your input into the ball along with the way you are able to control your paddle. These 2 mechanics on top of the proportion size of both the paddle and ball really make this Pong game feel like a bizarro version of it because once you start playing it you notice something is off. The main problem of course being all the subtle changes like longer paddles, smaller ball, and the inability to really go faster for matches. All these little elements line up to effectively make this Pong version both easier and harder to play. Easier to hit the ball, but so much harder to score a point. The ball can only go so fast, you can't really hit it on the side to make it go faster, and mostly you would need to trick the AI over any actual fast leg work like in the original. Is it the worst version out there? No. Plenty of Pong games have gotten it wrong before, and while this wasn't particularly enjoyable, on a glance it at least looks like Pong with the ability to change the palettes. As far as playing Pong though, stick to the classic, this one is a close, but no cigar kinda game.

Game 89: Totally Not Sumo Mar2026

A 2 player game in a 1 player demographic. Wish I could say I played this game properly, but largely it feels like a flash game that would be made for an old 2000s animation about sumo wrestling, but with none of the challenge to it. Having to have 2 players really hurts this games potential interest, and while I can acknowledge there is something here to play, realistically who's going to play this with you among the free to play environment of 2020s? I can tell it has a neat idea with the mirror clones and ability to push your opponents out of the way, but without a second person to play this with it's pretty much dead in the water when it comes to gameplay. This would probably make a fun mini game or promotional tie in website game, but nothing much beyond that in my mind. Totally Not Sumo, not even Sumo'

Game 97: Lingword April2026 I'll be honest. I can't tell if this game was suppose to have sound or not. Like I see that the switch is there, but it does not feel like it does anything. Aside from that though? I don't really have anything more to say about Lingword that can't already be said about Wordle. It's a decent clone with a nice start screen, and a decent interface to get the "word to dle". Can't say that this makes me want to assassinate someone like the original though, so something certain feels off about it. At most the aspect of not being able to share your victories, inability to doing daily challenges, and mostly having to deal with a smaller matrix of words will always hit a more consoled version of Wordle, but this one certainly feels more like a generic brand than just out right bad comparatively. Lingword, it's Wordle at home!

Game 86: Racer (WASM-4) Mar2026 While Racer is fundamentally very basic and only sports 3 tracks to play through; I have to say it honestly was a good time. Sadly, there isn't any track selection, so you'll have to run through them to get to tracks 2 or 3. The graphics are fairly basic and reminiscence of something you find on the game boy color. It's not exactly winning awards for anything out there, but rather that it captures the old school charm of racers of yesteryear without it being too harsh or flawed in a glaring way. It be nice if there was more challenge to it like more racers on the tracks or simply have more tracks to work with, but for what it provides at the low cost of free, I think it's worth checking out for a fun 5 minute break.

Game 79: Touhou Spirits Mar2026 A game that answers, what if the deck of cards you play WAR with had stats and featured cute anime girls. Effectively, Touhou Spirits is just a numbers game where you pick a girl you have and a stat that you think will beat the next card. If you win, you gain that card, if you lose, you lose your card. You're essentially playing against the deck itself aside from your own drawn hand, and trying to acquire the whole thing along the way. The strategy really just comes down to remembering statistics and counting cards that kinda fundamentally turn into a bigger numbers game. You can go for the simple plan of picking bigger numbers or try going for stats that normally don't have a lot of huge numbers amongst the cast of characters. It adds this layer to the simple game of war that I really like while also giving fun little stats for the Touhou characters themselves. Is there some truth to those numbers? Why are you playing this card game in the sky? Whose got the biggest in the cast? I don't really know, but I don't really need to know. The important thing is it was fun simple strategy game that wasn't always dependent on luck, and the game getting easier as you lower the deck's card pool makes for some interesting tension to boot. I had a good time with Touhou Spirits, and if you like seeing big number beat smaller number, you will too.

Game 78: First Flight Mar2026 They made Superman 64 into a likeable, and cutesy witch girl! I'm not saying that's always your solution to make terrible games better, but it certainly is a starting point, you know? That said, First Flight literally is just going through a bunch of rings. It has nice graphics, controls well, and has some nice beep boops to it, but unless you like that kind of idea there isn't much else you can get behind here. At the least, the game ascetically rocks, and it doesn't drag out this scenario past what it should. Still at the end of the day it feels more like a mini game or intro to something else over an actual game.
