Bejeweled Blitz Introduction:  Bejeweled Blitz, originally a Facebook application created by PopCap Games, transformed into a downloadable game driven by the Bejeweled 3 engine due to its distinctiveness from Bejeweled 2 and upgraded graphics. Electronic Arts took over publishing and distribution in 2011 after acquiring PopCap. This game, a part of the Bejeweled franchise, initially appeared on iOS within the Bejeweled 2 iOS app before becoming a standalone app and later launching on Android devices. The objective of Bejeweled Blitz is to achieve the highest score within a one-minute timeframe by matching gems and Multipliers.

 Hylics Introduction: Hylics, a role-playing video game created and published by Mason Lindroth, made its debut on October 2, 2015, for Windows via Steam and Itch.io. This game stands out with its unique claymation graphics that bring a surreal world to life. Set in a mysterious posthuman archipelago, Hylics is divided into three acts, each commencing with a prelude that partially uses randomly generated sentences to describe the ongoing plot events. The primary objective of the game is to confront Gibby, the King of the Moon, and the environmental design conveys this goal rather than relying on straightforward dialogue. Interestingly, the game's NPCs communicate using randomly generated text, contributing to its overall surreal atmosphere, and it is suggested that Gibby is responsible for the disjointed dialogue found throughout the game. Gameplay: Act I begins in the residence of the player character, Wayne, situated near a town and a facility that allows dimensional travel. As p...

The game's development experienced a temporary halt at milestone version 0.05D but resumed with the creation of new pre-alpha builds in January 2007.
