165. I Am Bread
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwDhUt5ewKk

This is another one from Bossa Studios, mostly known for Surgeon Simulator. It's the same kind of thing, designed with wonky controls where the main challenge is the basic navigation of movement and the goal is just to get toasted. But I think the humor works a little more for me here, and there's a little more creativity in play. Like most levels after the first you aren't actually trying to get into a toaster, but trying to figure out what other ways to make it happen. Like in the living room level, there's a radiator there as the obvious goal, but alternatively if you manage to knock a bowling ball onto the tv and catch it on fire, you can get toasted that way. This all culminates in blowing up a gas station to get toasted in the last level (which I'm just now remembering I did actually beat, huh).

164. Hue

What was the first game to do this whole "change the colors of the background to make things of that color vanish" thing? I swear I've seen it in a handful of different games. 3 (I think?) more are going to appear on this list alone. Hue is the one I remember the least, which is funny because it's the one that utilizes the mechanic the most. As a puzzle platformer though, it was alright.

163. Kentucky Route Zero (Chapters 1 & 2)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bp8f7zWwRjo

Remember what I said about Deltarune? No game has suffered for me for its release schedule more than Kentucky Route Zero, and it's not close. I bought chapters 1 & 2 in 2013. The game was finished in 2020. I like Chapters 1 & 2 a lot, but I cannot maintain hype for the next part of an indie game, or most games for the matter, for over seven years. I like the first two chapters a lot, but I can't remember them much more than vibes at this point. Maybe at some point I'll go back and play the whole thing start to finish, but I've never been good at getting myself to restart a game from scratch like that.

162. Rubber Bandits
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXJWVj66QBk

I recently bought this one for fairly cheap when looking for new local multiplayer indie games, and I'm glad I did. It's very goofy fun in the way of Gang Beasts and Fall Guys and Party Animals but with a lot more weapons and a primary goal of stealing money (for the most part anyway; different modes have different goals). It's fast-paced and fun, and might end up ranking a little higher once I actually have the chance to play it more.

161. House Party
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fid59bMxPI

I used to watch a lot of Game Grumps, and this is the first and only game to make this list that isn't a game I've actually played. Normally I wouldn't count watching a let's play as playing the game, but in this instance I'm going to because I've seen the majority of what the game had to offer, and it's not a game particularly heavy on gameplay. Although, there's likely a LOT more content now than what there was before, because for what is basically a porn game, they just kept pumping more and more into it (hehe). It's legitimately hilarious at times, the hoops it makes you jump through to actually get to the sex parts are ridiculously long-winded and complicated and Frank's "howsitgoindude" may never leave my memory.
