Welcome to Thinky Third Thursday, my roundup of thinky puzzle games that I think are worth your time. This month I'm going to be looking at some of my personal highlights from 2023.
2023 highlights: indie gems
The throughline here? All of these games have truly excellent puzzle design.
Can of Wormholes, by munted finger (Windows, macOS)
Play as a sentient can of paint with worm legs, and power up your spaceship by pulping other worms into juice. The theme is bizarre but it's got some great mechanical surprises and the best hint system I've seen in years.
