It’s sort of a make-your-own-Link-to-the-Past meets Mario Maker. An adorable pixel-art 2D dungeon-builder, this game gives you a palette of clever tiles to build your own animal-inhabited levels full of monsters, puzzles, and traps. An online sharing function allows you to publish your creation, and to sample all the weird worlds made by other players. And pleasantly, there’s a robust Discord community where you can toss ideas around and get help with your more abstruse ideas. (Beta testers have already published tutorials, which is very handy indeed.) New elements have been steadily added throughout the game’s early dev phase, and hopefully that growth will continue after release. An impressively pretty and well-thought-through toy, considering its small (two-person!) development team.

Release date: February 15.

Platforms: Steam.
