Here’s a free tip for you, if you keep fish – you’re probably feeding them too much. Small fish, like guppies and tetras, might have big appetites, but they only have little tummies, so they prefer to eat little and often. Now: what if… video games?.

There is a new indie dev collective called 10mg – named, I assume, after a small amount of… some drugs? – and they have today released a collection of ten games, each taking around ten minutes to play, and available as a collection on Steam for ten quid.
