A connect-four type bubble-pop game, using a hexagonal board.

Not bad, but not my thing.

Properly titled Fractal: Make Blooms Not War

A simple and small text editor.

This doesn’t really have a name. Even in it’s source it’s just called “Text editor”.

A combined first-person shooter and tower-defense game.

Seems pretty cute, but I hate tower defense games which have multiple entrances.

A side-scroller puzzle game.

I played around with it a bit. It’s fair. It’s overwhelmingly unforgiving and gets complicated.

A freemium Minecraft clone with a number of improved features.

It’s prettier but has a lot of pop-in. The two block-high jump and sliding movement are unsettling. It’s nice to have a list of all crafting patterns, and searching is nice. Crafting is very nice with its previews.

Overall I’d say this is a good game and an appropriate drop-in replacement for people who like Minecraft.

A space simulator fps thingy.

While it looked quite good at a glance, when actually trying it it fell flat. When a game cannot lean on cutting-edge technology, it has to have solid gameplay. It didn’t feel good at all to me. I guess No Man’s Sky – (2016 game) spoiled me.
