After Vessel, I played a little bit of Stacking. It was a pretty fun puzzle-adventure game. You control stacking dolls as the narrative is presented in styles resembling stage plays and silent films. The 3D third-person perspective was fine for the most part. Unfortunately, at times it bothered my motion sickness. I did not expect that in this type of game. Usually, it is first person shooters that bother me.

Hence, I switched to playing Wizorb. Wizorb is a Breakout style arcade game combined with light role-playing elements. The official game site presents the following description:

The once peaceful Kingdom of Gorudo is threatened by an evil presence. The only hope for salvation is Cyrus, a wizard versed not only in both black and white magic but also a master of a secret magic art called... Wizorb!

Your magic wand is the game's paddle and you can cast spells. You can also purchase items and enhancements with gold. There were five worlds of twelve levels each to play through. Each world ended with a boss battle. Some of the levels were a bit tricky and tedious at times because of the precise angles needed to destroy some of the objects. It may not be the best Breakout/Arkanoid game out there but I still had fun with it over the few days it took to finish.
