I would recommend all of the LOGistICAL games as well. There are several that come in under $1US. They are logistics puzzle games and very casual. Time for money is extremely high for these. Some are also good for chievo collectors if that is your bag.

Logistical - Hawaii - https://store.steampowered.com/app/635762/LOGistICAL__USA__Hawaii/ $.99US
Logistical NZ - https://store.steampowered.com/app/621560/LOGistICAL__New_Zealand/ $.99US
Logistical Egypt - https://store.steampowered.com/app/661890/LOGistICAL__Egypt/ $.99US

"Suzy Cube" looks very cute and reminds me a bit of "Woodle Tree Adventures", regarding the art style.

Outside of "good games" are there profitable ones?
For example a 0,39$ game that drops 3 cards worth 0,10$ on the steam market because anime/hentai cards sell or something like that.

Don't know about profits, but Montaro cards worth more than the game here in argentina.

In the post there is also a bundle of 4 games all with cards and pretty positive reviews, That's another bundle that pays for itself.

Thanks for the recommendations, the games I want to get only reach 29,97 so I wanted to find a game that would repay itself because I'm a little broke atm lol.
I'm torn between montaro which is a nice game to have with even nice cards just to craft a badge, or go with the 4 games pack.
Edit: maybe I can remove a 1 dollar game and do both of them so I can get to 30,05. Pretty nice!

Everyone, go get Majotori. It's a trivia game where your answers decide the fate of the game's characters. So fun and so worth 2€.

I absolutely adore it on my phone. Mix trivia with Reigns, easygoing and fun. ( I would recommend people to get it to phone, works offline and no MT, and as a mobile - it's mobile :P )

I'm surprised nobody has said The Quell Collection yet.
Three fantastic little puzzle games for under a dollar! Ridiculously underrated game franchise too (in my opinion).
