I'm working on a post. I hadn't seen this thread before I was tagged so I'm still making sure I've got everything covered.

I will say that for what I'm doing I've got a few games chosen with the theme Detectives.
ooooh, that sounds exciting! :D

Alrighty, I'll embrace the Past/present/Future theme, so one from each of one of my favourite genres, the 2D/2.5D side-scrolling puzzle platformer.

Past:

Little Bug
Buddy Systems Games





Delightful puzzle platformer where a young girl, Nyah, has to navigate the dream world with the help of a ball of light. Both characters are controlled at once allowing for intricate moves and tricks.

Present:

Northern Lights
Dimle Team




Short but sweet adventure puzzle game about a lonely robot waking up after a global calamity. Fantastic graphics, sound and scope mark this as a high quality start to hopefully further adventures!

Future:


Night LIghts
Meridian Games






The world is different at night. Night Lights is a 2D puzzle platformer that tasks a tiny robot to illuminate the world. Manipulate light and shadow to change the environment, solve intricate puzzles, collect shards and resurrect a fallen star.

Time to step up Tizoc (you were the highest on the post count that hadn't had a go yet!)

Bleh this is too much effort :V I can't even think of past, present, future titles since I played so many but I'ma try.


Name of GAME: Ittle Dew
Developer: Ludosity


If this is what classic Legend of Zelda games played like, I want more of it. The game is focused on exploration with some puzzle solving, starting out light then offering some nice variations to solving certain rooms or areas. The game is also designed with speedrunning in mind as you can do sequence breaking of sorts to clear the game as fast as possible.
The game has boss fights that are mainly designed on using the tools you have to overcome the boss' pattern and damage them. In general the game is easy and a short fun romp, it helps that the humor is good and the presentation is vibrant and colourful.
