Game #1 - Schedule I

BREAKING BAD SIMULATOR!

GENRE: SIMULATION, CO-OP, CRIME, OPEN WORLD, ACTION

AVAILABLE PLATFORMS: PC

This is a new take on the simulation genre that I welcome!

I would like to see more crazy scenario based simulators, especially ones that explore crime and adventure.

Schedule I is a gritty crime empire sim where you start out as a broke, small-time dealer and work your way up to full-blown underworld kingpin.

Set in the rough city of Hyland Point, you’ll be cooking up “substances”, selling to customers, dodging the cops, and dealing with rival cartels trying to shut you down.

You can walk, skate, or drive around town slinging, or scale up by hiring “distributors”, buying properties, and building a full-on automated operation.

There’s a mix of management, strategy, and street-level chaos, with weapons and turf wars adding to the danger.

Whether you're running solo or teaming up in co-op, it's all about growing your empire, staying one step ahead of the law, and becoming the top dog in a city that doesn’t play nice.

I really recommend checking this one out! :)

Game #2 - Spilled!

HELP SAVE THE OCEAN!

GENRE: SHORT, LINEAR, RELAXING, CASUAL, SIMULATION

AVAILABLE PLATFORMS: PC, MAC, STEAM DECK

Spilled! is a chill little game where you sail around cleaning up ocean waste, recycling trash, and rescuing cute animals—all at your own pace.

It’s short (about an hour long), super relaxing, and perfect for when you just want to vibe and do some good for virtual oceans.

You’ll upgrade your boat, explore new biomes, and take on bigger spills and different types of waste as you go.

There’s no pressure, no wrong way to play—just you, your boat, and the satisfying joy of cleaning things up.

Plus, there are 16 adorable animals to rescue along the way. Think cozy eco-cleanup adventure.

I’m happy to see games helping to promote looking after the environment!

Each sale gives $0.10 to Whale and dolphin conservation. :)

GOOD OR BAD OPINION?

OPINION: "Most video game stories lack artistic merit."

They also believe that video games aren't being creative enough with their story telling and are just replicating what we already see in film and literature.

Game #3 - Get Yoked: Extreme Bodybuilding

TAKE BODYBUILDING TO THE EXTREME!

GENRE: CARD GAME, ROGUELIKE DECKBUILDER, DIFFICULT, 3D

AVAILABLE PLATFORMS: BROWSER (DEMO)

This game looks insane, but I love it hahaha.

GET YOKED is a roguelike deckbuilder all about chasing GAINS and becoming an absolute unit.

It’s like Slay the Spire if it was obsessed with bodybuilding, glutes, and gym bro energy.

You play workout cards to bulk up, but you’ve gotta manage fatigue or risk injury.

Stack protein shakes, rest smart, and specialize however you want—go full glutes mode, sculpt a shredded chest, or focus on pure aesthetics.

With multiple bodybuilders, hundreds of cards, custom gear, and a full campaign mode, it’s a wild ride through meathead strategy meets comedy chaos.

It's goofy, smart, and somehow makes lifting weights into a tactical masterpiece.

Game #4 - 10s FOREVER by owch

TENNIS WITH BOSS FIGHTS!

GENRE: ARCADE, DUNGEON CRAWLER, ROGUELITE, BATTLER, TENNIS

AVAILABLE PLATFORMS: PC

10S FOREVER is a fast-paced, 2D arcade-style tennis-fighting hybrid that feels a lot like Punch-Out! - but with tennis!

It’s the sequel to 10S, but updated with super animated enemies, wild gameplay upgrades, and a 1v1 character-based tournament mode.

There’s also a roguelite "Ladder Dungeon" mode where you climb through 10 floors of enemies and face off against a boss at the end.

The game’s chaotic, snappy, and stylish—with multiple difficulty modes, power-ups, custom color palettes, and lots of charm.

It’s still in development, but already fully playable and packed with energy.

Game #5 - dotAGE

LEAD YOUR VILLAGE, SURVIVE THE APOCALYPSE…

GENRE: RESOURCE MANAGEMENT, TURN-BASED, ROGUELITE

AVAILABLE PLATFORMS: PC, MAC, LINUX, STEAM DECK

DotAGE is a cozy but brutal turn-based village survival game where you play as a wise old Elder trying to save your people from the coming apocalypse.

You’ve seen the end in a vision, so you pack up your tiny crew of villagers (called Pips) and start fresh in a quiet valley—only to be hit with disasters like plagues, poison, earthquakes... and even killer kittens.

You’ll assign villagers to jobs, build up your town, farm, craft, bury the dead, and try to keep everything running while chaos slowly ramps up every turn.

Every run is different, with new buildings, professions, and random events to deal with. It’s board game-style strategy meets roguelite challenge, with charming visuals and a real medieval soundtrack.

It’s chill, stressful, and addictive in all the best ways!
