Michael Brough makes a very specific kind of game. His games are grid-based strategy games with a specific rule set and a small possibility space. They're simple and elegant and clear. Brough is heavily influenced by board games like chess and go, which is quite literally the best inspiration possible since chess is the GOAT and would probably be #1 on the list if it happened to begin on a video game platform instead of on a board.

P1 Select is a simple mobile game where you simultaneously control 9 different 'guys' that cycle based on your movement. Each time you move, you get a different attacking pattern. You can think of it like an ultra-slimmed down tactics game where you control all of your units within a single square. It's maddening to play at first and really addictive. Of all the Brough-like games out there, this is the one that I come back to over and over.
