BUD: Gardener of the Galaxy. Deployed on a distant planet to grow a gigantic plant toward an orbiting spaceship, the clunky Botanical Utility Droid must deal with gravity and momentum relentlessly harassing its flimsy body. The resourceful little fellow has some tools to cope: a (broken) jetpack and a strong pair of hands to conquer the steepest slopes, and the ability to use flowers and leaves as hang gliders. Armed with resolve and no fear of heights, BUD will ride the giant plant's shoots into fertile floating islands... and meet the strange local lifeforms on a daring vertical journey.

Fez is a semi-open two-dimensional puzzle-platformer. In a peaceful world of pixelated shapes and bright colors, Gomez' only foes are dead ends, hidden doors and impassable gaps. His schtick : rotating the view by quadrants, thus re-aligning objects in the 3D world to use in his 2D endeavors. Sounds simple enough - but at the heart of the game lies a cubic ton of areas, collectibles, code-cracking challenges and obscure references that will wake you up at night like a kawaii dream of cerebral torture. Perspective, right ?

Puzzles involve simple platforming mechanics and a clever use of light sources. Trough eerily lit corridors, across bright gigantic halls, up and down stairs and on the edge of endless chasms, Lucy must find her way to freedom... and safety.
