Pavel Varenka All of last week we devoted ourselves exclusively to cyber security, but what kind of rest would it be if all you were thinking about were the ever-present threats. That's why we've prepared a welcome diversion for you in the form of 5 cute colorful games that you can play over the weekend. These are pleasant canapés that will delight and not disappoint, but they can also really surprise. Especially the difficulty, which does not necessarily go hand in hand with pleasing visuals. But we will not reveal everything in advance. So come with us to a world full of diverse and mysterious funny puns.

Hue
The game Hue, which offers game levels entirely based on colors, will delight all lovers of non-violent games. The vast majority of the game does not revolve around violence, but rather around the colors with which we will have to change the surrounding environment in such a way as to allow us to pass to the next level. Thanks to the unique contrast of black and white and almost iridescent colors, a pretty unconventional spectacle awaits you, and the very appearance of the game evokes that the story will not be just any other. We assume the role of a strange boy who explores the dark world and tries to use colors to transform it into a more pleasant place to live.
Of course, there is also a great soundtrack underscoring the overall atmosphere and simple, albeit fun, gameplay. Even players suffering from color blindness need not fear, as the game offers full support for disadvantaged users in the form of symbols that replace the original colors. So, if you have a taste for non-traditional canapés and you have a PC with Windows 7, Intel Core 2 Duo E4300, 2GB of RAM and a GeForce GT 610 graphics card, or macOS 10.9, head to Steam and give this pleasant adventure a chance.
Costume Quest
Let's continue just as lightly, with a friendly RPG from the studio Double Fine called Costume Quest, which, although it has its age, can still offer long-term entertainment today. Our only task will be to change into the best and most elaborate costume possible and hit the streets, where we will go from house to house singing carols. The theme of Halloween is evident at first glance, and unlike its darker companion, into whose world we will soon be happy to introduce you, it is a light and pleasant entertainment. In addition, all you need to play is Windows XP, a dual-core processor with 1.4 GHz, 1 GB of RAM and a GeForce 7600GS or Radeon X1600 graphics card with 256 MB of memory. In the case of macOS, the same requirements await you, only with the Snow Leopard 10.6.8 system version. Just aim for Steam and try this clever trick.
Nuclear Thrones
Let's take a look at something slightly more action-packed and frenetic, namely the great isometric shooter Nuclear Throne. As the title suggests, we take a look at a post-apocalyptic world where there is only the right of the stronger and it's up to us to claim that privilege. Of course, we will not take a diplomatic approach, but we will grab the first proper weapon and go to eliminate hordes of enemies. But not just any, we will assume the role of a frustrated mutant who is tired of submitting to other creatures running through the wasteland, so we will try a not-so-peaceful coup.
There will be a decent arsenal of deadly weapons, a plethora of enemy types and the ability to improve your hero using various abilities. In addition, the retro graphics are reminiscent of the arcade games of the 90s, which will surely please lovers of the style of the time. So if you're scared and not afraid to step out with a machine gun and a rocket launcher in hand against thousands of enemies, head to Steam and download the game. All you need is Windows XP, a 1.2 GHz processor, 256 MB RAM and a 1 GB graphics card. The same requirements (except for the OS) also apply to macOS.

Pavel Jelic Enter the Gungeon
The level of difficulty and brutality gradually escalates. Are you in the mood for colorful Dark Souls? If so, this color game is for you. It should definitely be mentioned that Enter the Gungeon is an extremely difficult game. It will take you dozens of minutes, maybe even several hours, to penetrate its gameplay and be able to survive for more than just a few minutes. In the game, which is styled in top-down pixel graphics, your task is to get to the end of the dungeon, but with only one life. Once you die, the game mercilessly takes you back to the beginning and you start over. With each pass, you unlock new weapons, of which there are really a huge number. And thanks to them and your abilities, which gradually improve, you will gradually get further and further, and one day - maybe - you will reach the end.

However, you will rather enjoy the gameplay itself and you will also enjoy exploring the game world and other weapons. You can buy Enter the Gungeon for a few crowns at Steam, where the game garnered a surprisingly large number of positive reviews. You can run the game on a PC with Windows, but also on devices with macOS. The hardware requirements are really low - you need at least macOS 10.6, 2 GB of RAM and 2 GB of space from your storage.
Alto Collection
However, if you prefer non-violent, relaxing games, you will also find a pleasant surprise here. And that in the form of The Alto Collection, a beautifully crafted independent adventure where we look into a diverse world and, in addition to exploration, we also have the solution of logical puzzles and an interesting emotional story. In addition, the collection includes both Alto's Adventure and a successor in the form of Alto's Odyssey, which boasts several game mechanics. But don't be fooled by the visuals and the indie label, according to the developers, there are up to 120 levels, 360 different challenges and countless power-ups to help us navigate the world. So we definitely recommend not to delay, aim for Epic Store and give this game a chance, at least if your device has Windows 7, a dual-core processor clocked at 2.4GHz, 4GB of RAM and some basic integrated graphics card. Even Mac owners will not be shortchanged, they just need the same hardware equipment.
