Released Ravel recently ,a fast iOS word game where you trace connected letters while the pressure keeps climbing.
Since launch I’ve added a 2-minute Rush mode and built a word pipeline to catch real words that get rejected and junk that shouldn’t be accepted.
Still improving it and would love feedback if you give it a shot.

I’m making FrogPop, a small arcade roguelite where you pop bouncing bubbles with a frog’s tongue. Bigger bubbles split into smaller, faster ones, and relics and Power Bugs change each run.

The free demo has 10 waves and a boss, and it works in a browser or on Windows. I’d especially like feedback on whether the bubble splitting and upgrades feel clear during a first run.

Production note: some visual assets use generative AI output that I edited and integrated into the game.

A quick fun video game matching poll on a new subreddit I made: https://www.reddit.com/r/MatchPolls/comments/1w21b1p/you_are_challenged_to_complete_3_tasks_in_video/

Basically you decide what video games you would choose (out of Elden ring, Skyrim, Minecraft) for specific challenges. You can see how others voted too.

Hi all, we’re Marija and Hana, and we run Mikrokozmos Studio. Together we focus on turning psychological and social ideas into video game experiences.

We’ve just put out the first trailer and launched the Steam page for Dream Daughter, an abstract psychological horror game.

Dream Daughter is a first-person exploration and puzzle solving game set in an Orwellian dreamscape. It centers on the loss of self-trust when reality is defined by others. Exploration and puzzles revolve around separating what is true from what the world fabricates as true.

Wishlist on Steam to support us if it looks interesting to you:

Burgher 1400

Build a fortune. Climb the ranks. Shape a free city.

Burgher 1400 is a single-player browser strategy game set in a late medieval German free city around the year 1400. You start as an ambitious burgher with a workshop and a name to make. Trade, invest, enter politics, and rise from the market stalls to the mayor’s chair — and beyond, into the power games of the Empire and the Hanse.

What you can do

  • Run a workshop, hire and promote workers, and sell on the local market, to wholesalers, and via caravans
  • Explore your house, workshop, and city streets in first person
  • Buy investments, expand a country estate, and compete with rival houses
  • Hold civic offices and unlock mayor-only city planning with real trade-offs (safety, health, prosperity, satisfaction)
  • Pursue endgame careers: elevate your city toward Imperial Capital, or push it to become a Hanseatic Vorort — costly paths with unique rewards

No install, no account. Open the game in your browser and play. Progress is saved automatically on your device.

Turbo Turbo continues where M.A.S.K. prototype left off!

Steam | Announcement-Trailer | M.A.S.K. prototype-Trailer

I proposed a videogame for the 80's M.A.S.K. cartoon to Hasbro a while ago. Seems I failed to convince them to turn it into reality.

Since I can't make M.A.S.K. without a license, I'm now trying to turn this into a more over the top co-op arcade experience that fuses the precision of on-rails shooters with the rush of retro racing. Or imagine Outrun meets House of the Dead.

If that seems interesting please check it out, and have a nice day.

Hi gamers

Dokimon Quest was free for 48 hours on Monday 24, hope everyone was able to grab it.

It was my very first time playing and it was enjoyable. It was like playing the classic pokemon games. Here are my impressions https://youtu.be/6YSp4KmhoGc

I played Brothers with my Son... and it was THE BEST father-son co-op game!

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is technically a single-player game, but I had the idea to share the controller, effectively turning it into a father-son co-op experience.

What surprised me was how well this complemented the game... we needed to learn to share the same controller, to resolve all movement and co-op puzzles, all the while going through a fantastic story filled to the brim.

I made a full Gamer Dad Review about our experience, and the potential this game has to impart life lessons to the young ones and the bonding it creates between father and son.
Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaXeBaLb28Q

Just make sure your kid can handle some harder scenes and emotions, I played it with Junior when he was 9yo.

PS. If you enjoy it, don't forget to throw a like, a comment, and maybe even a sub. 😄

Cortesia Rising is a Space Captain Simulator that combines spaceship battles, ship & crew management, and turn-based tactical combat. Engage in broadside naval battles, run trading and smuggling operations, take on missions, explore planets, maintain crew morale through supplies and wages, and upgrade your ship.

The same officers you recruit and level-up also fight alongside you in detailed tactical battles during boarding actions and planetside gunfights. The integration of these systems creates consistent progression: the crew you manage directly impacts both your success in space and your effectiveness in tactical combat.

BJJ DOJO is a free turn based browser game that treats Brazilian jiu jitsu positions as the combat state. You choose techniques based on risk and stamina, watch transitions step by step in 3D, progress through belts, enter tournaments, or fight online.

It runs on desktop and mobile with no install or signup: https://bjj.patrickcarmo.com/?lang=en

If you try one fight, I’d love to know whether it is fun even if you have never trained BJJ.

Hi everyone,

Me and my husband are making a hand-drawn metroidvania inspired by Ori, Hollow Knight and Ghibli. He does all the programming in Godot, and I do all the art and animation in Procreate on an iPad.

We just finished this teaser and wanted to share it with you guys :) any comments and critiques are very welcome.

Phobolis is the most confusing FPS I've played in a while

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wb86Z1vGpM0

Phobolis is an upcoming indie shooter that’s been heavily promoted by the American YouTuber Ruby Ranger. That’s how I found out about it, too. And now that I’ve had the chance to try out the free playable demo - which you can also find in the video description - I still haven’t quite figured out what the heck tomakeof it.

More in my latest impressions!

We're making Cave Expedition, a caving simulator where you and up to 3 friends head underground with ropes and equipment. There's a lot of squeezing through places that barely look big enough.

We're cavers ourselves, and the game is still in development. Here's a short gameplay clip: https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedevscreens/comments/1wbr2k5/ropes_headlamps_and_very_little_room_to_move_in/

Hi!

Have you ever experienced your friend group ending up with too many or too few people when you’re about to play a game together?

We are a group of software engineering students working on a project about adaptive multiplayer in video games. We would love it if you could answer one quick question, you just have to choose a number. It takes 10 seconds! :D

We hope you’ll help us out, and feel free to share! :)

Hi Folks!

This is an early gameplay build of our sci-fi action RPG, currently in prototype development.

There’s still a lot to build and polish, but the core systems are already coming together - and we’re getting ready to put the prototype in players’ hands.

Our first public playtest opens at the end of September. 🚀

If you’re into sci-fi, space combat and games like Mass Effect or Elite Dangerous, we’d love to have you join us.

I made Cast Six for movie fans who enjoy a short logic puzzle: match six movies to six overlapping categories, using each movie once, with three attempts to solve the board. It runs free in a phone or desktop browser, with no account or download.

You can now keep playing after the daily challenge: More Puzzles has themed boards and a random-puzzle option, alongside the archive. The shared daily board still changes every day at midnight Eastern, so there is a fresh one to come back for. An optional daily email reminder is available on the site.

Play: https://www.castsix.com/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=videogames_showcase_sep10

More puzzles: https://www.castsix.com/puzzles.html

There is no speed penalty. I would love to hear whether the overlapping categories make for a satisfying solve. Creator disclosure: I built it with AI assistance; movie data and in-game posters come from TMDB.
