Created by Mateusz Skutnik, Submachine is a compelling mystery that only gets more intriguing as time goes on. Scraps of paper, words etched into walls, and archaic computers leave clues as to what the Submachine is, and how you must escape it. All of the (so far) 5 Submachine games tie into one another, and references to previous ones are riddled throughout.

]]> 10 May 2007 02:38:54 Tricky block-sliding puzzle, like a 2D Rubik's Cube. Line up the tiles in rows or columns, as fast as possible and using the least number of moves possible!

]]> 11 May 2007 10:02:37 Chirality is a basic game at heart. Two sets of vanes, each with symbols on them, rotate in opposite directions. When any pair of overlapping symbols match, hit the button. Successful matches increase your score and the game speed. Missing a match or hitting the button when no matches occur will cost you a try.

There are three different game layouts and two speed choices, making the game accessible to people of all reflex levels.

Also available is Chirality+, with more eye candy and distracting graphics. Runs pretty slowly on most systems though, so it's more for looks than gaming right now.

]]> 28 Jan 2007 01:02:34 DUOtris is a take on Tetris (GB). Instead of blocks coming from the top, and fall down, blocks come from both top and bottom, and gravitate towards the middle.

The aim of the game is to get the highest score possible. Points are scored by moving the falling blocks on both sides of the play area so as to arrange 3 or more blocks of the same colour together. These blocks will then disappear causing any blocks "above" them to fall and possibly create further combinations. The game ends when either stack of blocks crosses the game over line. Over time the speed of the blocks increases, more colours are introduced and the play area becomes narrower.

There are two different game modes: Classic where there are just blocks falling, and Arcade where you get powerups and special blocks.

]]> 09 Feb 2007 06:11:41 Within the depths of space and time, two planets converge upon one another unexpectedly, throwing the laws of physics into chaotic motion. As the planets slip faster and faster towards one another, a violent phenomenon takes place. The worlds collide, but with such force and magnitude that both planets fuse with one another, creating a unique and strange place.

We find our characters trapped amongst the chaos, struggling to figure out the new laws of their once beloved home. For the first time, they discover each other's presence. They are in awe. As they become more familiar with their surroundings, they find they have the power to affect their environment based on their proximity and color. With these newly discovered powers, they set out to uncover the source of this destruction and hopefully the means to restore peace and order to their lives and home.

]]> 12 Feb 2007 08:15:49 BeanMachine is a modern remake of Dr Robotniks Mean Bean Machine for Sega MegaDrive (or Genesis in the US). The gameplay roughly is the same but the game has modern visuals in full 3D using OpenGL.

The game can be played alone, against time on a single scenario or as a story mode game where you advance through the different scenarios.

A split-screen mode for two players is also includes which allows for some fun matches between two human players.

The game comes with 6 different scenarios which are fully 3D : Ancient egypt, european middle ages, modern industrial setting, a prehistorical forest, a futuristic scenario and a greek colloseum.

]]> 16 Mar 2007 02:41:24 This is a very simple board game for 2 players (or 1 player versus the computer). Both players get 7 pawns and 1 king on a 8x8 board. The goal is to get your opponent's king or 6 of his pawns. Each turn, the player may select 1 stone and move it straight or in an L-bow. You cannot jump over stones, but you can step onto your opponent's stone to take it. The numbers on your stones indicate the number of tiles they can move in a turn. When the Mastermind option is selected, the stones change in value when you move it. Pawns can get numbers 1-4, while the king only gets 1 or 2. A challenging game!

Setting the Mastermind option (to change the alue of your stones each move) will show numbers on the board so you will know the number you will get when you move a stone there.

This games comes with 5 imaginary friends of fine-tuned artificial intelligence to play offline against your computer.

]]> 17 Apr 2007 04:47:13 Trimanic plays like Lumines+Bejeweled+Triangles+Huge spinning disc. Players spin triangles around to make big triangles of the same color. Making many triangles of the same color in a row to create huge combos.

The game is still very early in development. It sorely needs to be rewritten; I'm still using T2D version 1.1 beta 1 for it, because I just recently stumbled across the old code and decided to flesh it out before I went on vacation.

Storyline
In the year 64AD (after the Great Fire of Rome) Nero built the Domus Aurea (or "Golden House"). This is the story that is known. The story that is not common is the secret that the Domus Aurea hides and of your adventures within.

It is now 5 September 476 AD and yesterday Romulus Augustus was deposed (history will show that he will not be replaced). During Rome's fall stories of a powerful secret hidden within the catacombs of the Domus Aurea have surfaced, and being the curious type that you are, you have set out to find the truth or fiction of them.

]]> 10 Feb 2007 05:27:45 A man lies in a darkened cell, consumed by pain and sickness. He does not know where he is. He does not know how he came to be there. He does not even know his own name. All he knows is that he is being tortured by a bizarre, bespectacled man, who addresses him only as a number - Twelve-Thirteen.

Every day, Twelve-Thirteen is taken out of his cell and goaded into running a dangerous hazard course, apparently for the sole amusement of the bespectacled man. Today seems to be no different. But while Twelve-Thirteen sits brooding in his darkened prison, the door suddenly falls open with no apparent cause. To discover the answers to all of his questions, Twelve-Thirteen must adventure into the unknown world beyond the cell...

It plays as an adventure game with a light mix of action thrown in. The health system is an interesting take on a typically HP-saturated market: as you take damage, the beating heart in the corner pumps faster, threatening death, and adding to the atmosphere. With a gripping storyline that far exceeds its meager graphical offerings, you'll find yourself entirely immersed in a game that alternates between terror, confusion, and an overarching ending that will haunt you.

]]> 15 Dec 2006 08:33:36 Smilies Quest was a simple project I made all on my own (except for the music) leisurely over the course of about a year. It started off as simply an experiment - whether or not I could simulate light in 2D - and became what a somewhat long-ish puzzle game with unlockable endings, an unlockable hard mode, and an unlockable mini game.

It follows the story of an emoticon who is imprisoned by another, jealous emoticon, and his journey to escape from his dungeon-like prison and save himself as his friends. Nothing fancy, but it's not about the story anyways.

It's simple to play...simply use the arrows to move around and spacebar to flip switches/talk to people/read signs.
