What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Battle Puzzle 2048- Space Girls (XBox Series S)

December 15th, 2025

Yesterday was cold, so I didn't want to focus much on gaming. I finished 2048 Battle Puzzle: Space Girls, which was my 100th finished game of the year. Tiny little casual games really boost those numbers! It wasn't as difficult as I wanted it to be, though, even on the higher difficulty levels. I got all of the achievements in this without even getting myself up to a 512 block, which feels ridiculous. It's not awful, but I did want this game to kick my butt a lot more often than it did. My fascination with 2048 comes from my constant failures.

I also tried Cat God Ranch, which is an odd game in that it is extremely similar to Luck Be A Landlord, just with the critiques of and jokes about capitalism stripped out. Also, Cat God Ranch doesn't have Mrs. Fruit, which is a big loss! I didn't dislike playing it, and the titular cat god is very cute. It was just a strange experience starting off.

I ran Clicker Heroes for a while as I made Christmas ornaments, too. I didn't make much progress because I was really making the hell out of some little beaded candy canes.

I was playing around with XBox achievements yesterday, which was kind of fun! I mostly sat out the PS3/360 console generation where achievements started, so this still has some novelty for me. I downloaded and played Clicker Heroes through the day, which seems like a pretty decent idle game so far. I'm just making numbers go up, but it's been relaxing and low maintenance so far.

I tried Battle Puzzle 2048- Space Girls, too, which is a 2048 game that doesn't run well. There's always a Live2D girl refusing to stand still on the side of the screen, which I think is dragging down performance, and generic dance pop with bizarre lyrics about space bounty hunting and robot girls is constantly playing. The base game is fine, but the presentation is overwhelming and confusing.
