Which of these games are you adding to your list? I’ve got a ton of idlers to add to my ever-growing list of games. Coconut CEO Idle looks like silly fun, Monster Looter is free to play, and A Game About Feeding A Black Hole looks incredibly satisfying.

I can’t ignore the lure of having fish on my desktop for Peacquarium, Penny for Your Potion speaks to the Potion’s Master in me, and The Art of Son reminds me strongly of a free-to-play art game that I loved, Please Touch the Artwork 2.

You really can’t go wrong with this list, but if it doesn’t peel your banana, then feel free to check out our most recent Cozy Games Today from December 11th and 12th.
