Anarcute reminds me a lot of controlling minions in the Overlord series the most. (Pikmin or even Katamari are also decent examples.) You can pick up items and throw them, have special abilities depending on how many rioters you have, and unlock more skins throughout each level if you look hard enough.

It's a simple, somewhat mindless game but good if you want to listen to a podcast or something. I would suggest picking this up on sale or in a bundle, $15 is a little steep for what you get here.
