I suppose if I’m desperate to find a theme here, these next two games are both riffs on the 3D sokoban genre that’s been developing recently. Puddle Knights (from Lockpickle ) is the first one, and I only had to watch the first ten seconds of the trailer to see what’s great about it.

Short version: you’re a knight with a long cape on a level full of mud puddles, and you have to move through the level in such a way that your cape lands on the mud, allowing princesses to walk across it. There’s also a third dimension, where you can climb up stairs and walk across the heads of other knights on the ground.

It’s such a delightful concept, and I’m amazed a game like this hasn’t been made yet. This seems like the kind of game you’d get from a CD-ROM in 1995, alongside a demo of Lemmings and some wallpapers of a pyramid in space. It’s simple genius (the best kind) and worth every penny.
