What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Snug Finder (Switch 2)

November 8th, 2025

I had a weird gaming day yesterday. I played stuff way earlier in the day than normal, tackling the Retro Achievements on a game called Reels of Fortune. It seemed really funny to play another slot machine game, but it wasn't all that interesting overall. This was made for an open source console called Uzebox, though, and that does seem interesting. I might try to learn more about it later.

I tried a very simple, slippery feeling Atari 2600 Touhou homebrew, too. It wasn't awful, and I do want to achievement hunt in it a bit more, but it didn't have my attention for long yesterday.

I'm trying to be more responsible about game shopping and had some stuff I wanted on Switch, so I decided to try and clear off some games I had started on there and Switch 2 so I could do a spot of shopping. I finished off Snug Finder first, which I thought was a decent little hidden object game. I think it needed something a little more to make the time-based scoring work as more than "well, I know where all the stuff is so I'll just run it again right away," like moving objects between runs. That's basically my only complaint about it, though, especially for two dollars. It was cute.

I played some of Purrfect Rescue, a hidden cat game I'd bounced off of in seconds a few times before. The cats are really scribbly in this, so it's harder than usual to tell what is or isn't a cat, and they're extremely tiny, too. There's some simple adventure game elements going on here, too, but it wasn't enough to get me to play more than one stage of it last night.

Last night, I hit the end of KOF Sky Stage, a King of Fighters shmup, using the credit limits the game gave me starting off. This was one of the first shmups I played years ago, when I first got my PSP, and at that point I thought I wasn't having fun because I was bad at shmups. Now that I've played a few more and spent some more time with the genre, I just don't think this is a very fun game. There are a lot of shmups I want to clear as every characters, on a lot of difficulties, or with one credit. For this game, clearing it once is going to be enough. I am going to delete it off of my XBox and be free.

Earlier in the day, I saw a super casual hidden object game I wanted in the Switch eShop. I'm trying to be responsible, even about buying cheap games, so I decided to see if I could buzz through a similar game I already had first. I went with Snug Finder, which is kind of a speed based hidden object game. The first half of it was pretty fun, even though the time gimmick kind of falls apart as soon as you know where everything is. There's only 6 to 10 objects on every screen, so it's too easy to memorize after just one go. I'm still looking forward to going back for the rest of this, though. It's pleasant.
