"The King is Watching is a strategic gem hiding behind cute sprites and a duck with nerdy specs. It’s a roguelite builder that dares to do something different, even if that sometimes means being confusing or needlessly punishing. There’s a joy in experimenting within the King’s Gaze; rotating your influence to power a barracks before the goblins crash the gates desperately, and a real sense of satisfaction when a plan comes together. While the lack of a save system and progression hurdles are definite thorns in the crown, Hypnohead still crafted a refreshingly weird and mechanically rich experience. With tinyBuild behind them, we’re hopeful for updates, tweaks, and perhaps a few more ducks. The King Is Watching receives a Thumb Culture Gold Award. A worthy kingdom, ruled with charm, chaos, and just a little quackery."

The Cows Are Watching turns a silly prank into a stealthy mission. You play a nighttime intruder sneaking into pastures to tip over cows, using the dark to avoid detection. Each level tasks you with flipping a set number of bovines before advancing, requiring careful timing and quiet movement. The controls are simple but precise, balancing tension with absurd humor as you dodge the risk of getting caught by the herd. The game’s charm lies in its deadpan execution of a ridiculous idea. While the core loop doesn’t last long, the physics of toppling slow-moving targets and the satisfaction of pulling off a sneaky escape add to its lighthearted appeal. Its pixel art style and retro aesthetic keep things nostalgic, though the overall experience leans more toward novelty than depth. Still, it’s a brief, amusing diversion for players looking to tilt at something completely offbeat.
