#424 Spilled! by @soundgames.bsky.social 02/22/2026 “Cozy but addictive. Spilled isn’t much of a challenge difficulty-wise, but I couldn’t stop playing until every area was 100% clean.” ★★★★★ onlypremium.games

#423 SpongeBob: Patty Pursuit 2 by @oldskullgames.bsky.social 02/15/2026 “SB’s reign as the king of auto-runners didn’t last long. Not because the sequel isn’t an enjoyable platformer, nor because it’s a little buggy, but simply because he isn’t running auto this time.” ★★★ onlypremium.games

#422 Golf Club: Nostalgia by @demagogstudio.bsky.social 01/12/2026 "A golfing game in space? It’s so much more! A unique experience with excellent production values, a great soundtrack, and a compelling story. If you slept on this like I did, go fix that now!” ★★★★★ onlypremium.games

2025 GOTY blog post is up. Featuring games from @draknek.bsky.social and @hyperluminalgames.com: onlypremium.games/blog.html

#421 SpongeBob: Patty Pursuit by @oldskullgames.bsky.social 12/24/2025 "After a certain limbless character vanished from the App Store, SpongeBob steps in as the new king of level-based auto-runners.” ★★★★ onlypremium.games

#420 Pine Hearts by @wearesecretmode.com @hyperluminalgames.com 11/13/2025 "With its gorgeous audiovisual presentation, wonderful soundtrack, heartwarming story, and excellent port, Pine Hearts is a serious contender for my mobile game of the year." ★★★★★ onlypremium.games

#419 Is This Sean Taken? by @potipoti.studio 11/6/2025 "I was excited to learn that it was coming out on PC and mobile simultaneously, But, as good as its main idea sounds, it’s a boring puzzle game that could have been partially saved by being a more mobile-friendly port." ⭐️⭐️ onlypremium.games

#418 Spooky Express by @draknek.bsky.social 11/4/2025 "I’ve probably never played a puzzle game before where completing every single level makes you feel this smart. Get on the spooky hype train and grab it—but don’t play it while waiting for a train, or you’ll miss it." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ onlypremium.games

#417 Zerko by @rainbowtraingames.bsky.social 11/02/2025 "Zerko is another fine addition in Maciej's collection. Although breezing through its 50 levels doesn't take long, I appreciate that the author respects our time by not adding any filler content." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ onlypremium.games

#416 Monster Train by @bigfangames.com 10/15/2025 "Monster Train is not your typical deck-builder, but that doesn't mean it's not great. It is—but I could only fully enjoy it on my tablet, which negatively impacted the amount of time I spent with it." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ onlypremium.games

#415 Spitkiss by @dearvillagers.com 09/24/2025 “Quirky and fun, this flinging platformer may not be the best of its kind, but Spitkiss still deserves your attention many years after its release.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ onlypremium.games

#414 Roundguard by @wonderbellygames.bsky.social 09/15/2025 “Relaxing, deep, precise, and fun, but also a little puzzling and full of both pegs and charm. Roundguard is a true all-rounder.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ onlypremium.games

#413 Merge Maestro by @studiostingless.bsky.social 09/13/2025 “A clever merging twist keeps Merge Maestro fresh and fun. But other than increased difficulty, there wasn’t much more for me to discover after beating the final boss.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ onlypremium.games

#412 The Exit 8 by @kotakecreate.bsky.social 09/08/2025 “I haven’t played anything quite |ike The Exit 8 on mobile yet, but if you spotted an anomaly in this text, you’re definitely going to enjoy this game!” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ onlypremium.games

#411 - A Little to the Left by @maxinfernogames.bsky.social - 08/28/2025 - A whimsical, well-ported puzzle game about tidying up and discovering who is behind all the mess. If you like things clean and organized like I do, you can’t go wrong with this game. - ***** - onlypremium.games

#410 - Overwords by Maciej Targoni - 08/23/2025 - As much as I like Maciej’s previous games, his latest one feels a bit odd. I enjoyed the fresh mechanics and the presentation, but not so much having to play the same words over and over again. - **** - onlypremium.games

#409 - Lost in Play by Happy Juice Games - 08/17/2025 - Lost in Play is a charming point-and-click adventure and a must-play for genre fans. It’s held back only by a clunky save system that forced me to replay some parts. - **** - onlypremium.games

#408 - Nightgate by @semidome.bsky.social - 08/12/2025 - If you’ve been sleeping on Nightgate for the past eight years like me, do yourself a favor and play it right now. It’s a mobile sci-fi masterpiece. - ***** - onlypremium.games

#407 - Smash Puck by @semidome.bsky.social - 07/28/2025 - It’s an awesome mix of pool, air hockey, and puzzles — a hidden gem that, luckily, didn’t get lost over time and is still super fun to play almost seven years after its original release. - **** - onlypremium.games

#406 - Rytmos by @floppyclub.bsky.social - 07/10/2025 - Rytmos is a simple but fun puzzle game that does not reinvent the genre. Instead, it adds an additional layer of musical education and playfulness. - *** - onlypremium.games

#405 - Sokobond Express by @draknek.bsky.social - 06/29/2025 - The apple did not fall far from the tree. Sokobond Express does not reach the heights of its ancestors, but it’s a solid line-drawing puzzle game nevertheless. - **** - onlypremium.games

#404 - A Monster’s Expedition by @draknek.bsky.social - 06/29/2025 - What made this charming puzzle game truly shine for me was that I could either hop in to solve an island or two or explore the world for hours — a perfect fit for mobile. - ***** - onlypremium.games

#403 - Sokobond by @draknek.bsky.social - 06/19/2025 - Did you know that if you combine great design, minimalism, challenge, and chemistry, you get one of the best puzzle games on mobile? Now you know. - ***** - onlypremium.games

#402 - Slay the Spire by @megacrit.com - 06/17/2025 - The rogue-like deck-builder that started it all is tough, but very few games in my list gave that amount of satisfaction when seeing the credits roll. - ***** - onlypremium.games

#401 - Dubio by @ajkolenc.bsky.social and @richardboeser.bsky.social - 05/25/2025 - This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill, fifteen percent concentrated power of will. Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain and a hundred percent reason to remember the game. - ***** - onlypremium.games

#399 - Boom Pilot by Oddrok Oy - 04/22/2025 - It does not quite live up to Power Hover, but it’s still a solid short shmup. - *** - onlypremium.games

#398 - The Electric State: Kid Cosmo by @play-buck-games.bsky.social - 04/02/2025 - I was hesitant to even bother with downloading it, but I would miss out on a GOTY contender. A pleasant surprise in form of an great puzzle game with excellent narrative. - ***** - onlypremium.games

#397 - Aarik and the Ruined Kingdom by @shatterproofgames.bsky.social - 02/16/2025 - A short, but sweet puzzler with some rough edges. It introduces too many mechanics and loses its focus on perspective puzzling along the way. - *** - onlypremium.games

#396 - Meteorfall: Krumit’s Tale by @slothwerks.bsky.social - 02/11/2025 - Another excellent entry in the roguelike deck-building series. Same great style and a unique take on gameplay which, thanks to its portrait mode, fits into your pocket perfectly. - **** - onlypremium.games

2024 GOTY posts are up on the blog: onlypremium.games/blog.html Featuring games by @thunderlotus.bsky.social @supergiantgames.bsky.social @furnimatgames.bsky.social @chucklefishltd.bsky.social @playbalatro.com and more.

#395 - Monument Valley 3 NETFLIX by @ustwogames.bsky.social - 12/02/2024 - Is it similar to the previous entries? Sure! Is that a bad thing? Absolutely not! Is it better or worse than its predecessors? It does not matter, because it’s great in every single way! - ***** - onlypremium.games

#394 - Mini Metro by @dinopoloclub.bsky.social - 12/02/2024 - It took me 3 attempts over 8 years, but when this great little strategy game finally clicked with me, I had a blast transporting the geometry shaped passengers in all the cities. - *****

Going forward I will try to share even more of my thoughts thru the newly added blog!

#393 - Last Pocket - 11/02/2024 - Despite the artificially extended gameplay time (by resetting all elements on every attempt), it’s still quite fun to breeze through this biliards-inspired puzzler. - ***

#392 - Linelight - 10/09/2024 - Unique 1D gameplay with a lot of great ideas and beautiful presentation make this a must play for every puzzle fan. It did get a little frustrating in the last chapter, but the fast and furios ending was excellent. - ****

#391 - Balatro - 09/30/2024 - *****

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #507,837!
