Ever wondered what it takes to build a kingdom from the ground up? In this 2D sidescrolling strategy and resource management game, you start as a king and queen tasked to build a home from scratch. You collect resources, employ outlaws and rule the land. But you must work as a team or risk losing the crown that keeps you in power.

Fulfil your dream of becoming a horrible goose that harasses unsuspecting villagers. Honk and bite with your partner in this local couch co-op as you make your way around town causing mischief. This puzzle stealth game is excellent if you want a game you can finish in less than three hours.

Settle down in a small country town and become a farmer with the love of your life. In this country-life RPG, you inherit your grandfather’s old farm and start anew, leaving corporate life in the dust. Nothing says love than working together to create a profitable cheese, milk, jam and veggies business.

Welcome to the Onion Kingdom, where you must defeat the Unbread by cooking up a storm. Work together to chuck ingredients across your moving kitchen to complete orders before time runs out. Be careful, though, cause the kitchen gets hot when there are too many cooks.
