What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Zodiacats (Switch)

July 10th, 2025

I am fried tonight, but I built a super cute Mega Blocks kit of Sylveon last night. I've had this for a while, since I went to Minneapolis a couple months ago, but I'm trying to finish some of the kits and crafts I already have rather than just shopping nonstop. It's pretty satisfying, not least because Legos are fun and Pokemon are cute! It's fun to show off stuff like this, too!

Last night, though, I wasn't really feeling games. I tried a little of Star Soldier on Nintendo Switch Online, and enjoyed it quite a bit once I realized that the structures on screen weren't obstacles to dodge. I couldn't get past level one last night, since I was tired and disinterested. It's easy to imagine myself playing this again, though.

I did a couple puzzles in Zodiacats to make myself fall asleep, too. I think this is a little more tedious than the other stuff I've played from Devcats, but it's a decent bedtime game. I wish the puzzle pieces in this were cut like jigsaw puzzle pieces instead of just squares, though.

Today's post is super late! I got worried I'd be late for work if I posted this morning, so I saved it for when I got home. It probably would have been fine, but I wasn't eager to risk it earlier.

I tried a couple of new games yesterday, with the more interesting of them being a zombie themed budget JRPG called Raging Bytes. I actually enjoyed the start of it quite a lot, and appreciate the gusto with which it throws around zombie movie tropes and background details like buildings with giant signs that say "Shopping Store." I'm not very far in this, but am looking forward to playing more when I get a good chunk of gamin' time.

I also started a small scale Switch game, Zodiacats, that's just tile swapping puzzles of cats. It's a pretty decent before bed game, and I'm not going to turn up my nose at a cat-themed casual game. I'll probably knock this out in just a few play sessions!
