A small collection of games I have tinkered with. Sometimes there is learning to be had and sometimes I get bored of projects and drop them.
Nature Card Game
Nature Card Game
Release Date Developer Link 02 Oct 2023 Self Play
Developed for Ludum Dare #54, following the theme, “Limited Space”.
In Nature Card Game, your goal is to defend the lands from invaders over the course of thirty 'years' (15 rounds).
Enemies will spawn from the right side and advance down the Lane until reaching your Sites, at which point, they will attack.
Sites are played from your hand by paying its cost of the corresponding resource. As a bonus, you may subtract the strength of an existing Site to play another Site over it.
Attacking is resolved as follows:
- Enemy strength (denoted by 🤛) is subtracted from the defending Site.
- Any remaining strength at the Site is subtracted from the attacker.
Special Action: You can Unleash the Wild on enemies to destroy them, paying four 🐾.
If an enemy reaches the left-most column or the Gaia Pneuma or Nursery are destroyed, then the invaders win.
Hogger
Hogger
Release Date Developer Link 10 Jul 2023 Self Play
An abandoned entry to GMTK’s 2023 Game Jam. I don’t think it had enough substance to submit, but it was fun to create something, no matter how small
A level from Hogger. The car (road hog) must run over each of the frogs.
This year’s theme was “Roles Reversed”, which I attempted to use to make a puzzle-forward commentary on cars and nature in a play on Konami’s famous Frogger (1981).
Thrixel
Thrixel
Release Date Developer Link 06 May 2023 Self Play
A pixelated knock-off of Asher Vollmer’s Threes!, with a few minor differences. Combine 1s and 2s to create 3s, then join like numbers together to see how high of a number you can get! In this version you win once you can get a 96.
The one and only gameplay screen of Thrixel.
Created using increpare’s PuzzleScript, which is incredible. If you have an interest in 2D tile-based puzzles, I would encourage you to check it (and this GDC talk, from which I learned about it) out. I’m excited to see what else is possible with this engine.
Bevy Chess

My walkthrough of the Bevy Chess tutorial, mainly for some practice with Bevy and ECS. The game is a simple 3D plane with pieces that move and respect the rules of chess.
