I've been working on a little game in my free time, and I'd love to hear what you think.

Hex-A-Guess is a colour guessing game for graphic designers, web developers, and nerds who like hexadecimal numbers. Can you guess one of sixteen million colours in only five attempts?

You can play it free in browser, or download it DRM-free and own it forever at no cost.

Free on Epic until 5/23/24 at 10:00 am CST

Kyle is a Janitor. He's also a Werewolf. And now he's got the night shift. Fight for your life - and your paycheck - in a stealth-comedy game with surprises around every corner.

The classic sci-fi FPS Marathon from Bungie on Mac revived for modern hardware by the fan community.

This classic 1994 Bungie™ FPS had a foundational influence on the genre, and is now maintained by the fan community. Experience authentic game play using the original data files, with optional widescreen HUD support, 3D filtering/perspective, positional audio, and 60+ fps interpolation, just in case the original is too authentic.

Classic Marathon is powered by the Aleph One engine, which is available under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) Version 3.

Join young Mako as she ventures into a wild world of exploration and finds a mysterious bird companion. Navigate through two distinct realms with your staff and face off against an ancient sentinel in this prologue to the action-packed metroidvania Akatori.

(I am an author of this game. I am not a shill, game is 100% free, there is no premium content, full game is avalaible without paying - this is work of passion and feedback is my main motivation).

"Dominion of Darkness” is a strateg/RPG text game in which the player takes on the role of a Sauron-style Lord of Darkness with the goal of conquering the world. He will carry out his plans by making various decisions. He will build his army and send it into battles, weave intrigues and deceptions, create secret spy networks and sectarian cults, recruit agents and commanders, corrupt representatives of Free Peoples and sow discord among them, collect magical artifacts and perform sinister plots. Note – one game takes about 1 hour, but the premise is that the game can be approached several times, each time making different decisions, getting different results and discovering something new.

Game is avalaible for free, online: https://adeptus7.itch.io/dominion

I am constantly improving the game, adding new content and mechanics, so Your feedback would matter.

If you are hesitant to play the game, I invite you to watch/listen to the reviews:

In Doronko Wanko you're a little tiny adorable pomeranian who will be forgiven for all their sins because you are, again, a tiny adorable pomeranian. You choose to use this power for violence, challenged to cause as much property damage to your owner's house as quickly as you can. You can find Doronko Wanko on Steam.

In Boomeroad you toss a boomerang and the slide along the rails it creates to explore an ancient ruin floating in the sky—with the goal of finding every artifact you can while out there. It's a cool proof of concept for a movement system that'd do well in an action or collectathon puzzle kind of game. You can find Boomeroad on Steam.

The last of the three is Nottolot, which has you as a little robot named Rolly who has to hack other bots in order to solve puzzles and escape from the robot production factory. While still fun it's probably the weakest of the three, as it's a bit slow, but it has some cute simple puzzles to solve. You can find Nottolot on Steam.

Discovered this gem recently. It's not optimized for newer phones (black bars on top and bottom of screen), but it's the most creative take I've ever seen on the brick breaker genre

I have some items for different games I won't use. I am giving them away. Please write in the comments the codes you use to help us know which are used. Thanks
