jen -- Joe, the guy who makes the CLUTTER games, is essentially a one-man development team.  And the first games came out a bit ago.  You certainly get value for your money!  CLUTTER V has 545 different puzzles!  He has a new game out (only on his site at present, but will come to BFG) that is just the sliders and jigsaws.  Those are my favorites! 

I have a whole bunch of games in a trials folder - games that either people recommended and I thought sounded good or that I just thought looked good while browsing or wanted to remember to try at some point. Sometimes I would try them right away, but other times they'd just sit there as I moved on to other things. So my current project is to try being disciplined and complete the trial for each game, starting with the oldest downloaded. It's actually been really fun. We'll see how far I get before I'm lured away by all the shiny new games I hear about.
 
Here are the first few that I started with:
 
Tiny Bang Story - very nice looking point-and-click puzzle/HO game from 2011. I've heard about this for a long time and am really glad I finally gave it a try. I liked how the game threw me in without many directions or a tutorial. I enjoyed figuring out what I was supposed to do. Got through the first screen area during the 1 hr trial. I would definitely like to play more if I sign up for a subscription like Funpass and would also consider buying. 

Dark Arcana: The Carnival - HOPA with a creepy supernatural theme from 2012. Like a lot of this type of game, I found it hard while also kind of boring. Maybe if I played more of these games I wouldn't get stuck so often. I played on 'Casual,' so puzzles and HO scenes were very easy, but I still often needed hints for what to do next. Just not my type of game (but I did like the monkey).

Enlightenus - another HOPA, this one from 2009(!). I liked this one more, maybe partly because it was brighter and I love the art nouveau style.  But I think it was also because I found the gameplay of the HO scenes refreshingly different. Instead of finding matches for objects, you are figuring out which thing in the scene it makes the most sense interacting with (eg. if you have cheese, feed it to the hungry mouse). Would like to play, possibly even buy.
 

jen -- I LOVED ENLIGHTENUS!  There's a sequel (or maybe just a 2nd game).  I like brighter games too.  I am sooo over insane asylums, evil doctors, evil anything, I guess.

FudgeChi -- Wow!  You must be rteally good if you can get 3 done in a day!

Dark Arcana is actually one of my top 10.  I thought it was a great game.

I'm guessing that Fudge will play as many games in one year as I did in 4-5 years. 
 

It only shows that I have no life!!!
