Samorost 2
Amanita Design
Samorost 2 is an award-winning point-and-click (or point-and-tap, depending on where you’re playing) adventure games filled with beautiful environments, colorful characters, and plentiful puzzles.
You play as a space gnome, a cute little humanoid with a pointy hat who hops between planets and explores their strange and surreal environs. The story in Samorost 2 revolves around the gnome’s dog, who’s been kidnapped (dognapped?) by aliens. It’s your job to find and rescue the good pup.
The developers at Amanita Design have a well-defined style, both in terms of visuals and gameplay. You can see the former in every surreal screenshot of Samorost's worlds and the various bits and bobs you'll interact with.
Each location is filled with brainteasers and puzzles for you to interact with. Without traditional dialogue or comprehensible text—but with plenty of atmospheric music and sound effects courtesy of frequent Amanita collaborator Tomáš “Floex” Dvořák—it’s your job to poke, prod, and use context clues to overcome the obstacles in the gnome’s way. Solve the puzzles, move to the next area, and keep progressing one step closer to solving each game’s mysteries.
Road Redemption Mobile
Pixel Dash Studios
Road Redemption Mobile is a post-apocalyptic racing game from the developers at Pixel Dash Studios who put you in the saddle of a motorcycle gang’s leader.
Inspired by Mad Max, the story begins when someone assassinates the apocalypse’s wealthiest arms dealer, and you set out to discover the assassin and claim the $15 million bounty. Unfortunately for you, the world is filled with rival gangs angling for the prize, too. There’s only one option: Hit the road, and pummel your rivals with lead pipes and other implements of destruction.
Road Redemption Mobile’s gameplay spans assassinations, races, robberies, and more. You’ll also collect cash and earn experience as you pummel your rivals. Grab loot and use what you have to customize your bike, character, and weapons, including in a deep skill tree.
With Road Redemption Mobile on the Epic Games Store for mobile this week, you’ll gain access to all premium levels for free during this time.
