Strange Jigsaws Steam IGDB WikiData
Aug. 7, 2025
genre: Adventure / Casual platform: PC developer: FLEB publisher: FLEB
Strange Jigsaws is a puzzle game where you solve strange jigsaws.

Solve around 50 or so strange jigsaws, each with their own surprising way of being solved.
Explore unusual puzzle worlds themed after jigsaws.
Enter the Jigsawverse, maybe.

This is a spiritual sequel to my game "20 Small Mazes", but it's a little bit harder.
I recommend playing the game using keyboard and mouse.

Notes on puzzle accessibility:
The game is color-blind friendly. There are two puzzles that use color and they both have a "colorblind mode" toggle on the puzzle itself.
The game has accessibility options for hard of hearing or deaf people. There are three separate track of subtitles: background music, sound effects, and voices.
Some puzzles require knowledge of English.

Dec. 24, 2025 Review Steam Review - Been a fan since 20 Small Mazes, picking this up was a no-brainer. Awesome time spent tickling the unused corners of the brain. Admittedly I am not smart enough to figure out each and every puzzle and may have brute forced a few. Don't let that stop you from trying it out yourself if even mildly interested in puzzle games, you will not be disappointed!

20 Small Mazes IGDB WikiData Steam
Feb. 16, 2024
genre: Puzzle / Indie platform: Windows developer: FLEB publisher: FLEB
This is a puzzle game with twenty small mazes. If you solve the mazes, you beat the game.

It's about 1-2 hours long, maybe.
You need a keyboard and mouse to play it on PC. There is some basic controller support, but at one point in the game you have to type something.
If you're playing it on the Steam Deck, the game is Steam Deck verified and the keyboard will automatically pop up.
A few puzzles require knowledge of English. No puzzle requires sound or audio to solve it. No puzzle requires being able to recognize different colors.
I hope you enjoy it.

Poco is a 2D/3D hybrid point-and-click adventure game where you play as Poco, a two-inch tall clown who is banished from a giant walking circus, and left to fend for themselves in the undergrowth of the Below World, where they befriend and enlist the help of the local homunculus population to build a rocket.
Explore the beautiful, cluttered Below World... Where everything broken, lost, or unwanted from the Worlds Above comes to decay.

Find items, solve puzzles, and engage in interactive minigames to complete quests.

Meet and befriend a cast of 5 homunculi: bizarre little creatures representing the 5 senses.

Enjoy the deliciously detailed 2D painted backgrounds and joyously cartoony 3D animation.

Jan. 21, 2026 Review Steam Review - A point-and-click hidden-object puzzle game, like Machinarium, this one's free. Somewhat more forgiving than its counterpart. Decent game to spend 1-2 hours on depending on how much completion you care about.

Dec. 4, 2025 Review Steam Review - Short game which teaches you about South Indian cooking and culture, while also tackling some aspects of identity and fitting in. Recipes look yummy, definitely would like to try making them myself someday. The art style has its unique flavor and music is perfect for the mood. There may not be much traditional gameplay, but that is substituted in its charm. All in all a time well spent.

Dec. 4, 2025 Review Steam Review - Short free parody game. The puzzles were sometimes a bit obtuse, but that's my skill issue. Nice dialogue and well delivered voice acting. Definitely worth trying once.

Dec. 1, 2025 Review Steam Review - Machinarium is a point-and-click puzzle game, however it makes it frustrating to figure out what can even be clicked on. I don't think the game has aged well considering the conveniences and usability of games in 2025. Charming art style, cute story, soothing music - but the crux of the gameplay is quite obtuse and unintuitive. It may be a skill issue, but I cannot recommend this game in good faith.

Dec. 8, 2025 Review Steam Review - What an absolute gem of a game! I went in completely blind and was quite lost for the first few hours. Eventually as the game opened up with its knowledge, mind was blown. It went from being a physical exercise to a mental one. The way information is presented to the player is such a novel, creative, delightful idea. You are never too stuck to progress if you just RTFM! :D There are some shortcomings - the combat was not for me, and the backtracking became tedious after a while. Also the tendency to get stuck with an ability acquired in the late game. That said, it was still an awesome experience, and I hope everyone gets to enjoy it once. Kept this review intentionally a bit vague to remain spoiler-free.

Jan. 20, 2026 Review Steam Review - Point and click hidden-object game with some puzzles, a la Samorost. Focus is on the classical paintings guiding us through a surreal landscape. Found myself laughing, crying, deep in thought all at once while playing. Can't really put it into words, its free, takes half an hour, experience it yourself.
