Hi! Maybe y’all can help me out.

I have a Miyoo mini plus and sometimes, I feel the itch to play something just to fiddle around a bit. I’m looking for something that’s easy to pick up and pla’ for a few minutes up to maybe half an hour.

Bonus points if I can play it without needing to use my speech recognizing brain functions. It would be ideal if I can just occupy my hands a pit while still listening to what my colleagues say in remote meetings (I used to use a rubik’s cube for that). ADD is a removed.

I already got:

  • Apotris (really awesome, but a bit stressful after a while)
  • Wario Ware (can also get a bit stressful)
  • Pokemon Pinball Saphire and ruby (great, but has gotten a bit repetitive now)
  • … that’s it

It doesn’t have to be GB/GBA, but I recon that those systems have the biggest bounty of pick up and play games. The Miyoo Mini Plus can emulate everything up to PS1, so SNES and PS1 would be fine, too.

    Hi! I’m a Game Boy collector / enthusiast / reviewer. And this question has an easy answer in my opinion…

    Catrap

    • It’s relaxing. It’s a turn based, pure puzzle game. Like, there’s literally no action. The enemies don’t even move!
    • It’s big. 100 puzzles that slowly increase in difficulty. I was able to beat them all, over time.
    • It’s non-punishing. No time limits. No lives.
    • No stress. Catrap was the first(?) game to feature an undo button. Try something out. Didn’t work? Just hold B to undo. You can undo all the way back to the start of the stage, as many time as you want.
    • It’s simple. Up, down, left, and right to move. B to undo. I think A is introduced later to swap between characters?
    • IT’S FUN. It looks good, plays good, and just feels good to jump around the stage. And completing a stage is so satisfying.

    I hope you like it! 🙂
