[b][i]Pac-Man + Sokoban. An arcade game with strategy and puzzle elements. Help immune cell destroy bacteria and viruses in the bodies of various creatures.[/i][/b] Gameplay: https://youtu.be/ZGnatQ3AYWs The gameplay is reminiscent of Pac-Man, in which you destroy enemies by moving blocks at them, just like in Sokoban. This is a fast-paced arcade game with a variety of enemies that do not give to relax for a second. You will need to constantly move and quickly decide which block to move in which direction. There are four chapters, each with several dozen levels. You need to destroy bacteria in the human body, pig, fish, and bull. In Standard mode, you have unlimited lives and no timer. In Hard mode, you have 3 lives and a timer, after which additional enemies called "Exterminatis" appear. + Suitable for all ages. + Nice graphics. + Excellent retro music. + Addictive, dynamic gameplay. + Simple controls (WSAD or arrow keys). + 4 chapters / over hundred levels. + 2 difficulty modes. + Diverse enemies. + Achievements.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
