I'm sharing this one because if it's anywhere as good as the artwork implies, it's probably fun. Plus, how often do you see a rogue-like shooter starring a fisherman? FISH FEAR ME is made by a solo developer named Heather Flowers, and she's already made the well-loved SNAKE FARM. The graphics are kind of basic but full of charm.

A smooth roguelite shooter from the creators of RACE THE SUN, featuring a voiced cast of feline pilots in a dramatic showdown against corporate-powered robots called The Swarm. Features a 3-act campaign with branching paths, epic bosses, and a wide arsenal of pilots, ships, and weapons.
So far, this has a 91% positive rating on Steam based on 100 reviews. It offers gamepad support and is playable on Steam Deck. I like the 2D sprite-based pixel art style, and it's very colourful. Definitely promising!
This one is shocking because it's published by Kemco, and they almost only ever make JRPGs. But here it is, a puzzle game! It's fairly inexpensive and actually has a discount. There's gamepad support, so that's nice. I have no idea if it's good, but there's a demo -- so try before you buy.
Not many reviews on this one yet but it has a great premise. Instead of jumping from platform to platform, you sling a web. At C$2.59, it's also super cheap. The visuals are what you'd call "minimalistic", but I think this is a fascinating game.
Another horror game, but this one has PSX visuals. Plus, it's free. It has something to do with a cult and it has multiple endings.
Impressive visuals with this one but you'll need some good hardware to get the most of it: recommended specs are 32GB of RAM and an RTX 2080. This game has good reviews, has a demo, and also has gamepad support. Also, this one has a nice setting.

The 8-bit art style is highly appealing to me, and I like that this is in glorious 4:3 aspect ratio. You can control this with keyboard, mouse, or gamepad. Castle Xenon is also cheap, with its introductory price at C$7.64.
