A desktop / launcher thing.

Too annoying to get working.

From the author of Slax, who (as of 2017-10-04) apparently abandoned that project but has the time to make this one. Sigh.

A tower defense game, but with tanks and more upgrading.

I tried the demo and didn’t give it much of a chance. For example, I didn’t customize units. I prefer the more sandbox-style of Gratuitous Space Battles.

From the makers of Gratuitous Space Battles.
