Tadpole Tales

“A tiny 2D Hand Drawn Clean ‘em Up about a tiny tadpole cleaning rivers and fighting pollution. In this journey, you get to play as three different froggy forms based on your health, with wave-like patterns of enemies.

“You heard it, it’s a clean ‘em up, not a shoot ’em up. All the animations you see are hand-drawn frame by frame. We hope that this little game can offer you a short yet pleasant experience, something that anyone can pick up and put in their library. This game is a love letter to retro gaming, reminiscent of GBA games. We hope you enjoy it!”

SOLAR

Hare Fare

“As resident pilot, it is your duty to help the three islands that sit beneath you.  On these islands reside islanders who harvest carrots all day long, only to be disturbed by swarms of fly guys.  Head into the sky to seek water from storm clouds, bring it back to the islands to restore their supply, and keep the flies at bay by waterlogging them with your water blaster.  Don’t forget to fuel up, and be careful out there! “

Hyper P.T.

A pretty faithful recreation and demake of P.T. as if it’s running on an old HyperCard from the 90s. Created for the Merveilles #HyperJam which has 25 other entries done in the same kind of style if that’s your cup of tea.

You can watch the full video play through by Mark Medina at IGN (which is where my edit comes from).

Bots are Stupid

“A 2D Platformer/Puzzle Game where instead of using live inputs to control the character, the player has to program precise instructions for his Robots to follow to make it through the level.

“Step into the role of Central Locomotion Officer in a futuristic factory built to assemble and train the world’s most sophisticated machines since the invention of the Roomba.  Your supply of robots is endless so no matter how many crashes and explosions it takes, there is always a way to make it through the test chambers.  But remember: the fewer commands the better!”
