STICKER/BALL is all about lining up the perfect shot and watching the madness unfold. Players launch balls at dice to rack up points, with each ricochet adding to the total and opening the door for even bigger scoring opportunities. The real twist, however, comes from the game’s growing collection of stickers—over 100 of them—each introducing unpredictable interactions that can quickly turn a simple run into a combo-fueled spectacle. These stickers aren’t just cosmetic. Expect strange pairings like poop attracting flies, spiders spinning webs, and those webs trapping the flies for bonus points. Learning how these elements connect is key to…

Progression is tied…
Belgian solo developer Sam Agten (SixtyFour) has officially unveiled Stip, a deceptively minimalist number puzzle game that’s already turning heads—long before its release. Winner of the Most Anticipated Belgian Game Award, Stip blends logic puzzles with a creeping meta-narrative, asking players to question not just the rules, but the game itself. It’s set to launch on Steam later this year. At first glance, Stip looks like a clean, almost soothing numbers game. You assign values, follow constraints, and solve tidy little logic problems. But spend enough time with it, and the cracks begin to show. Rules start to bend, puzzles…

Along the way you’ll grow, shrink, collect…
