I love this kind of stuff where people bend office work programs to do things way beyond what they were designed for.

Path of Exile’s global channels have had a glorious history of unhinged nonsense. A dev was even around to witness this one!

Cone of wrath and vengeance

Is this a picture on your laptop or is it a picture showing Sencha chilling on your laptop?

Both?

I’m a fan of Dubmood’s Atari ST cover of Second Reality.

I usually don’t like sharing 2D games because they’re hard to make look presentable

How so? I don’t see the problem.

You could have been on countless nano-hops to the sun throughout your entire life and have never realized.

Real

Newgrounds is dead serious about preserving its content, even with the death of Flash. Ruffle, the Flash emulator, was created by a former employee and Newgrounds is a major sponsor of the project. The most important movies have been converted to video as well.

When Newgrounds adopted high-resolution thumbnails about a decade and a half ago, there was a big volunteer campaign to recreate thumbnails for the entire back catalogue of the portal.

Thanks to Ruffle, people can and are still submitting Flash content to the portal, in addition to web-friendly content!

Given the other suggestions next to it, I don’t think they want you to take it seriously.

Good writing? That’s unfortunately wishing for a lot. The best writing in the Borderlands series has happened outside Gearbox.

You knocked too hard.

This is a repost of the video we talked about here, reuploaded by IGN after they took down their original video.

Super Hexagon

I add Warsow to that.

Hyperbolic bonus: Hyperbolica, a first-person walking simulator set in a universe with hyperbolic geometry. You do odd jobs and play games that explore the strangeness of this geometry. Also, there’s a slight digression to explore spherical geometry as well.

Moonlight Pulse (83 reviews)

Metroidvania with character-switching

This 2D platformer metroidvania has memorable characters and very cool worldbuilding. You switch between characters to match their abilities to the right situations. They live on a living, planet-sized creature and are fighting off the parasites that are slowly killing their creature-planet. You’ll swim through its blood vessels and explore its organs.

It’s not super long—I finished the story in 9 hours. It’s just about the right length to satisfy.

Taiji (906 reviews)

Nonlinear discovery-based puzzles

If you liked the puzzle design of The Witness, you’ll enjoy Taiji as more of that but with scenic pixel art.

Instead of a linear sequence of tutorials and puzzles, Taiji is open-ended. You can wander wherever you want, solve the puzzles you stumble upon, and ultimately discover this place’s secrets. Sometimes you find a puzzle that you don’t understand, so you’ll just have to leave it for later, when you’ve learned more puzzle mechanics. It’s like a metroidvania but gated by knowledge instead of abilities.

All the puzzles are built on grids of tiles that you can turn on or off. There are no tutorials; you have to figure out the puzzle mechanics on your own, hinted by environmental details.

Toodee and Topdee (559 reviews)

Puzzle platformer/block pushing hybrid

The 2d platforming world and top-down world have smashed together. You control one hero from each dimension, who share the same space in the levels. You switch between platformer and top-down modes and must get both characters to the goal. The boss levels are hard but very cool, combining action and puzzles.

Also features local 2-player co-op and a generous assist mode.
