Welcome to another list of games that would never have been placed together anywhere else. I’m excited to highlight a time-hopping, feathered friend-saving experience, a game that pits you against homicidal livestock, and a chill title encouraging to reach new heights.

Duck Paradox

I’m sorry to discover this amazingly bizarre game escaped my notice until now. Thankfully, the narrative centers around traveling in time to right past mistakes. More precisely, Duck Paradox puts you in the labcoat of a scientist determined to recover her beloved duck companion, Quark by traveserving the multiverse.

Running through the portal on a loop pits players against a series of challenge rooms. Some require platforming skills, some demand puzzle solving, while others still need good, old-fashioned shooting. The goal is to grab each room’s meta version of Quark and bring him back to the portal safely. Its a compelling formula, and one you don’t want to miss!

Speedollama

With a demo out right now, you don’t have to wait until this frantic game’s release next week to get a sense of the action. And it won’t take long to get exactly what this game is. Wading into the bloody conflict between Llama and Alpaca kind, my job is to shoot any offending pack creatures, ripping their bodies to gory shreds, while searching for a set number of gems.

These collectables are scattered throughout winding, cavernous levels filled with dangers and resources. I can’t leave any behind because the door ensuring my safe escape is sealed tight until I offer it all the shimmering jewels it demands. Of course, that’s not enough pressure. There’s a clock counting down to your noticeably gruesome demise. So, be sure to find what you need quickly!

Tensei

Transformation and transcendence are Tensei’s main offerings. Out and ready for players to get into the flow, my main task in this game is to take my little ink blot as high as I can. There are no real pressures. This is a vibe kind of experience, and it’s easy to settle in for a session of smooth, upward sailing as my hero hops from cliff to cliff while transforming into creatures like a frog or butterfly brought to beautiful life by the ink painting art style.
