An incredibly value oriented way to play all of Magicdweedoo's games, with some nice 16:9 enhancement. All 3 games are of completely different genres, Ticket being a platformer game, New Ice York being an adventure game/rpg maker game hybrid, and Mealmates being a weird party game.
All 3 games have a very distinctive atmosphere and sense of humor that has not been replicated outside of magicdweedoo's catalog. The sorts of people that will get the most out of this game are indie game enthusiasts that enjoy obscure and strange games, particularly weird clickteam freeware games from the 2000s, which all three of these games seem to channel the intense, anything goes energy of, though much more polished and enhanced. I'd say that an average first playthrough of all the games would last around 5-6 hours, but all three games are very replayable, ticket is a joy to speedrun and discover the secrets in, New Ice York is a journey I return to occasionally, and Mealmates is incredibly fun to play with unexpecting friends (which might be a lot to ask of gaming enthusiasts)
If you consider yourself an adventurous indie game player, I'd highly recommend this package, along with magicdweedoo's other freeware games you can find on his website.

first, about what ties it all together; the thwee pack mega-menu is a helpful utility which includes a place to launch all 3 games, erase data per-game or all of it, and the sound thingy that lets you not only play all the music from the games, but pitch it up and down and loop to your heart's content
ticket is a fun and tight platformer with a zany style, fun story, and solid mechanics plus lots to explore. the thwee pack adds some secret stuff related to the other two games so make sure you keep your eyes open! the game was already released on steam as well so you already have that resource base for tips tricks and secrets
new ice york is a puzzle/adventure game that rides the line between silly and serious very well, the plot is interesting but none of the puzzles are too hard so it's really accessible. but if you're expecting something complex and deep this isn't it. which is good it doesn't have to be
mealmates is the sequel to mealmate which i have fond memories of, and it flips the whole script! with extremely well done art by zac dyson, seriously this game is grotesque in the best way possible. turning mealmate into a party game is a no-brainer and i have to recommend you don't play with keyboard especially for minigames like herd
for the price it's a great deal(especially on sale) because niy and ticket are 16 bucks put together so you're getting mealmates for like 4 bingos awesome stuff

This is a compilation pack of three of Magicdweedoo's games. Now, you might have seen or played the free versions of these games before, and you might wonder why you should suddenly cash out for this. The reason is simple: these games are getting the premium treatment in this pack and are vastly expanded.
The original MealMates was an interesting mini game collection in its standalone version, but the version in this pack basically rebuilds the game from the ground up and features an overworld, new minigames, a storyline with a disgustingly charming comic, revamped art and animations, and many many unlockable recipes and clothes. It also has a multiplayer party mode, making this a lot of fun. It's comparable to Wario Ware while also being vastly different. Some of the minigames tie in to the story as well.
Then we have New Ice York. This deliberately crusty game is difficult to categorize, as it has elements of a detective/mystery/adventure game mixed in with many unexpected moments and sudden minigames. In a way, I would almost describe it as EarthBound if EarthBound was crusty, nasty, dirty and about a detective.
Anyway, the original New Ice York consisted of only chapter 1. This new version contains the entire rest of the game, which, turns out, more than doubles the gameplay length. The new parts were very entertaining to me. It does have to be said, of course, that this kind of game would have to be your cup of tea. If you like hunting for secrets and don't mind talking to every single person in town between each bit of story progression, you might enjoy this.
Then there's Ticket, the shoe platformer (primarily). It is just as bizarre and interesting as the other two games. However, I'm actually not certain if there's more content in this game compared to the original version, because It's been a while since I played the original game. But I'm certain that there are secrets that I can't manage to unlock yet and I wonder if it's something I would have to do something for in the other two games.
Not that I've said "crust" a lot but it's more like... these games have a crusty style but they ARE quite polished games. Magicdweedoo has his style and it's something you gotta like, and I definitely do.

This game is so good that I went to the shared toilet in my office, dropped a nasty floater, doused it with apple juice... then just left. No wipe, no flush, nothing.
I did this hoping whoever discovered it would appreciate how the immense QUALITY of dweeMIXED: Thwee Pack managed to pull such a creative expression out of me.
To sum up this collection in the words of Winston Tang: "OH SHIT!"

Fritto Misto!
Both weird AND wet, this game provides the full range of ALL playable experiences! Solid platforming fun that will trigger your nostalgia for better times (Ticket), the most fun minigame party game I've had in years (Mealmates), and dangerous adventures among puzzles and CRIME (New Ice York).
All of this is presented in a truly magnificient way, with UNIQUE 3d menus, soulful flavour texts, spinning things and lots of colours!
Have I mentioned the SOUND TEST yet? With a PITCH shifter?! Such a unique feature that elevates all the already great music to the next level!
I am not exaggerating when I say this is the best games package I have ever played. A present wrapped carefully in gorgeous glittery paper, tied with a chaotic yet neat red bow. And if you touch the present.......you turn into a MEALMATE!!!!!!!
