Scrambled Ships - You find yourself on a boat with a mysterious person at the other end of the table, locked into a game of roguelike Yacht Dice called Scrambled Ships. They don't seem unfriendly, though, so it seems you're just having a fun game night, using the cards, statues, and strange enchanted dice you find to get past the increasing score targets.

Tater Tot The Little Wizard's Endless Beach Adventure - a third person puzzle platformer where you can record your actions and then have a copy of yourself play them back in real time.

Wub Gets The Cut - In a world of greedy executives and stakeholders making every game look and feel the same, only one guy can put a stop to it. Wub must stop the AI slop from taking over the world by thinking outside of the box. :)

8OX - a game where you unlock things in 8 other games by playing the 8 other games.

Why is this game's gif sized differently from the others? WELL... it's definitely not because the person writing this couldn't find a way to crop it well. That would NEVER be the reason...

FastEx: Same Minute Delivery - Cycle and Drift in your Neighborhood, and deliver boxes to the right houses within the time limit, while avoiding the vehicles on the road! Do cool trickshots while delivering to increase your highscore, and deliver within range to increase Streak Multiplier, All while getting faster and faster!
