Just about an hour from this post our 2nd annual digital convention kicks off: ThinkyCon 2025 is a three-day extravaganza of presentations from gamedev industry speakers on a wide range of subjects relating to the making and production of thinky games.
Motion Rec released this week, a cute new puzzle platformer with a lo-fi pixel art style that lets you record big chunks of moving and jumping around to play back in loops. It's available in a Steam bundle with the beloved exploration platformer Öoo and CATO: Buttered Cat.
An annual event all about the procedural, grid-based dungeon-crawling world of roguelike games is happening this weekend. There are full schedules of talks from gamedev speakers on Saturday and Sunday that you can watch virtually, and a Steam event page showcasing featured games and sales.
It's been exactly one year since we launched our big ambitious catalogue of thinky games, and we've been constantly adding to it ever since. Today a huge batch of visual novel detective games have landed, greatly expanding our coverage of the genre.
Starting this week you'll be able to play a new Tiled Words puzzle daily in your browser or on mobile: use crossword-style hints to figure out how these broken words fit back together.
Get a free thinky game to play and discuss, plus the latest thinky news and reviews, directly to your inbox every 2 weeks!
