Dead Ascend is a short Point and Click-Adventure. The games story takes place in a post apocalyptic setting – zombies chased you to a tower, and you need to reach the top to escape. The riddles you need to solve to clear the way are rather balanced – pretty straightforward and fair, but not just […]
Ben Was Assimilated
Ben Was Assimilated is a short, turn based hack’n slash game. The game is pretty straightforward: By using the arrow keys you navigate through a 2D top-down world. When you act in any way all enemies on the map will act as well and either move or – if they are in range – attack […]

Independent platform fighter
There are quite a few attempts out there to create a platform fighter, inspired by the famous Smash Brothers or any of their successors or variations. Last year, I made an short attempt unto this genre as well. After quite a bit of time that I invested into this, I graved the project. It became […]
fortythreesams games
forthythreesams works with Godot and did quite a few games already. While the scope and status of these projects differs greatly (some are very prototypical), they are all at least worth a look.
