aldera Interactive has unveiled its cozy farming sim / tower defense hybrid The Rabbit Haul, coming to PC and Switch in 2026. As a fleet-footed rabbit, you must nurture your garden by day, then defend it from mischievous raccoons by night.
The Rabbit Haul places players in the role of a cute cottontail trying to rebuild their hometown after it’s been ravaged by greedy raccoon gang the Trash Panda Posse. During the day, you must tend to your crops, replenish your food reserves and economy, water your farm, add harvested produce to your haul, and grow defensive tower plants that will help thwart off invaders. Be strategic in your placement, as an ideal garden will make use of synergies created between harmonious plants.
When you choose to switch over into nighttime, you must defend your haul against the assailing Trash Panda Posse. They’ll grow stronger with each wave, with different enemy types attempting to spoil your riches, so you must upgrade your weapons and defenses to ensure you can survive the night!
No two playthroughs are ever the same, as The Rabbit Haul features a sprawling, randomly generated world full of quests and treasures. Explore the overworld to discover unique items and allies that will help rebuild your town and reinforce your defenses even further. Between runs, you can upgrade your towers, unlock new merchants, and prepare yourself for your next adventure. With an array of unique weapons, upgrade paths, powerful towers and crops to unlock, The Rabbit Haul offers countless playstyles to master!
“With The Rabbit Haul we wanted to combine our love of relaxing cozy games with the strategy of tower defense titles and the random adventure of roguelikes,” said Titus Lo, game designer at Caldera Interactive. “We won the GDC 2024 Pitch competition for it, so it seems like there’s an appetite for The Rabbit Haul, and not just because the crops look tasty – though that helps!”
Every so often comes a movie that is so horrifically bad it circles back around to being good. The story is just bad,the concept is ridiculous,the CGI is so bad we can’t even describe it.
This is one of those movies. I honestly don’t have anything good to say about it. The concept is horrible. It takes place in New Orleans and a series of earthquakes release spiders. Not normal spiders, ancient spiders.
These spiders have evolved to live in lava it seems and breathe fire, because of course they did. They start small, and get a bit bigger and bigger and of course there is a huge one they fight eventually.
This movie was probably made for Syfy channel or something honestly, it’s a true horrible B movie. And everyone should watch this train wreck of a movie. I don’t have anything good to say about it. The acting isn’t great,the spiders look ridiculous and the story has been done to death. It is however fun. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Leave the World Behind starring Julia Roberts and Mahershala Ali is a sort of horror thriller about an unexpected apocalypse. Amanda (Julia) and her family need a vacation and rent out a home for the weekend.
While enjoying the beautiful home there is an unexpected knock at the door, G.H. Scott (Ali) and his daughter talking about a black out in the city. Turns out he owns the house and needs a place to stay.
This leads to some racial tension on both sides. Obviously anyone showing up in the middle of the night would cause anyone to be nervous. This is mistaken by Scotts daughter for being specifically racist in nature from Amanda, which seems to be partly true.
As the movie goes on and things get weirder,animals start to disappear, phones stop working more and more questions start to emerge. What country is causing this? China? Korea? You will find an answer within the movie,not within this blog however.
The acting is very well done. At no point did I feel like these weren’t real people with real fears. The tension and chemistry between everyone is fantastic, Julia and the kids really felt like family and the husband truly felt like a guy that might be up to something. I definitely recommend checking this one out. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Following a livestream announcement by Yogscast last Friday, Gamersky and Yogscast Games are excited to announce not one, but two new strategy games set to launch on Steam — February 6, 2025. From Yahzj Games, Border Pioneer challenges players to build a pixel metropolis and defend it from outside forces. Meanwhile, chx games’ Stray Path offers a feline FreeCell take on the roguelike deckbuilder. Both games will be available on Steam next month.
As the saying goes, if you build it, they will come… and try to knock it down. The perfect blend of city-builder and tower defense, Border Pioneer gives players the opportunity to forge the fortresses of their dreams, and watch it all crash and burn before their eyes.
In deliciously nostalgic pixel style, this upcoming strategy game offers an array of treacherous terrains, diverse foes and unforeseen dangers to discover as players expand their borders. As unchartered territories are claimed and enemies are vanquished, players are rewarded with new elements to help grow and fortify their settlements.
Not all cities are ruled from the top – sometimes the strings are being pulled from the seedy back alleys of the towns themselves. Stray Path takes players on a journey through dark roads and twisted forests, where every choice is crucial as they attempt to find a way out amidst countless dangers and secrets.
From curious cats to buff beast tamers, players must select an adventurer and embark on their adventure. One by one, cards are flipped and the mysteries of the path ahead are revealed. Will there be treasure? Vicious adversaries? Or perhaps even a chance to run? Every decision has a consequence.
Gamersky and Yogscast Games will be bringing both exciting new titles to Steam on February 6, 2025. Both games will be available as part of a bundle at launch, offering players a 10% discount.
505 Pulse, the indie focused label of 505 Games, is proud to partner with Avantgarden to bring Among the Trolls, a first-person survival adventure game, to Steam Early Access in 2025.

Set on a secluded Finnish archipelago, Among the Trolls invites players to explore lush forests, survive against the odds, and unravel ancient mysteries tied to their lost relatives. The game emphasizes a dynamic, living world where player actions not only affect survival but also influence the environment and its creatures.
“We’re thrilled to collaborate with Avantgarden on reigniting the Among the Trolls project. They embraced the concept with passion” said Fabrizio Faraoni, Sr. Global Brand Manager from 505 Pulse. “There was a community of players, eager to know more about the status of the project. We worked for a long time behind the scenes, and we are finally ready to show early glimpses of the game they are putting together. A truly unique experience that blends survival mechanics, rich storytelling over the stunning Finnish landscape.”

Immersive survival gameplay: Gather resources, craft tools, and hone your survival skills in a dynamic world that responds to your actions.

Players eager to embark on this adventure can wishlist the game on Steam here and stay updated on its development progress.
As always when I write these I like to start out by thanking the people who hooked me up with these, this time it is Kabum and you can pick up CubeSnake over on Steam if you so choose.
Let me get what the game is out of the way first. Remember your old Nokia cell phone that came with one game, and that game was snake? It was all square blocks and you just picked up other blocks and your snake got bigger and if you touched the sides or another part of your snake, you died and had to start over again? It now has a 3-dimensional upgrade.
All Elder millennials played this
CubeSnake took this idea and gave you a legitimate snake, and buildings and put you inside of a cube and let you do the same thing. You simply use a couple buttons to turn ( there is also controller support) with the same rules. Don’t touch yourself or the edge.
The problem is the controls are still sluggish, the game is super slow and just wasn’t fun for me to play. I never figured out how the dash button even worked, not that I think it would have helped much. In 2025 the idea of playing a game you need to pay attention to so you don’t die while only hitting two buttons just doesn’t do it for me. This is especially true when the game is so slow-paced.
You can spell out the word FEVER to get more than one pick-up at a time and speed things up a bit, but this is few and far between and doesn’t add to the excitement. I don’t hate the game, it passes the time and I think kids may enjoy it for a bit, for me it is a hard pass. The game serves its purposes and despite sluggish controls, it functions well and has solid controls. it is however just a 5/10 game that I don’t recommend for most people. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
