Ohhh of course you want to be rich like us. Adorable. But first, you have to prove you have what it takes to run with the .000001%. Here's how this little financial fantasy works: The Basics You begin "Old Money Rich" with a $1,000,000 trust fund. You'll then have to answer 10 trivia questions -- each related to a life of wealth and leisure. Before each one, you'll be presented with the category (like "Fine Dining"), and based on your confidence, you'll place a bet in $10,000 increments — because we don't do small numbers. Get it right? Your bet gets added to your bank account, and you continue your ascent into the upper echelons of high society. Get it wrong? You lose the bet, and may very possibly plummet all the way down to just "Country Club Rich." Embarrassing. Betting Rules Minimum bet: $10,000 (anything less is basically pocket lint) Maximum bet: your entire bankroll (bold… reckless… very "new money") No borrowing allowed If you drop below $10K, it's game over (and you may return to browsing Zillow for "starter estates.") Tiers & Promotions As your bankroll grows, you'll climb through 12 wealth tiers, from: "Used To Be Rich" (tragic) all the way to "Bezos Energy Rich" (clinically unstoppable) Each time you reach a new tier, you'll pick a gold coin to reveal a luxury prize that gets added to your permanent vault. Because nothing says "I've arrived" like accumulating shiny objects you don't need. Millionaire Round After Question 10, you can cash out… or you can do what every ambitious little striver does: Try to impress people richer than you. You'll meet 3 millionaires. Each will present you with a "fact" that's common knowledge for the ultra-rich, but not for your everyday money-grubbing peon. One of the millionaires is lying. (Naturally.) And you have to guess who it is. Guess correctly → you double your bankroll Guess wrong → you lose half (and we'll still smile politely while you spiral inside.) The Vault Every prize you win during promotions is saved forever in your vault. Collect them all. Not because you need them… but because you want the satisfaction of owning things simply because you can. Which, honestly? Is the first sign you're learning.

I wanted to have a go at combining an idle game and factorio, so this is my attempt. Visuals obviously heavily inspired by the likes of Effulgence, but that might change if something else speaks to me. This build should let you get some level of factory optimisation, and at the very least get a bit of a kick out of processing raw ingredients into processed ones, and chaining those into good outcomes!
I Reincarnated as a Vending Machine is a 2048-inspired survival puzzle about keeping a vending machine alive from the inside. Slide drinks across a 5x5 grid, merge matching products, and manage the machine’s Ice Core before it overheats. Every valid move matters. Every merge can help, but every turn also pushes you closer to failure. The result is a fast, tense puzzle game where you are always balancing short-term gains against long-term survival. As the board fills up, product meters build toward powerful Freshen Up abilities. Water, juice, tea, cola, and coffee each play a different role in the machine’s internal ecosystem, creating a puzzle that is part strategy, part survival, and part controlled chaos. Features -2048-style sliding and merging gameplay -A 5x5 grid designed for quick, tactical decisions -Ice Core survival pressure that drains with each valid move -Product-specific meters and special Freshen Up effects -Strategic board control with escalating tension -Inspired by 2048, but focused on survival and resource management -A vending machine fantasy with an unusual and memorable premise How It Plays Move tiles using the arrow keys or on-screen touches. Merging same items to fill their charges, building score, and creating special effects. But the machine’s Ice Core is constantly under pressure, so you can’t just chase merges forever. You need to think ahead, preserve stability, and use the board efficiently if you want to last. Controls Arrow Keys On-screen touches

You're the last engineer on shift when the server room goes hot. Packet Loss is a top-down arcade survival game about triage under pressure. Twenty server racks fill the floor of your data center. A virus breaks out in one of them, and from there it's your Data Pool draining against the clock 10,000 TB and falling, every infected rack bleeding it out in real time. THE CORE LOOP Walk up to an infected rack and patch it. Patching takes a second, grants the rack a few seconds of immunity, and refunds Data Pool back into the pool infected racks are worth fixing first, not just idle ones. But the virus doesn't sit still: it jumps to adjacent racks over time, and every 10th successful patch triggers a duplication event that seeds two more infections somewhere on the floor. The longer you survive, the more fronts you're fighting on at once. TOOLS OF THE TRADE - Patch (Space): your bread-and-butter fix. Quick, cheap, and the only way to actually clear an infection. - Antivirus Tower (T): drop a tower at your position for 1,000 TB. It instantly cures every infected rack in its radius and shields the zone for 10 seconds your panic button when things spiral. - Sprint (Shift): move faster when you need to close distance in a hurry, at the cost of a stamina meter that drains fast and refills slowly. Use it to reach a critical rack in time, not to explore leisurely. ESCALATION, NOT A TIMER There's no clock counting down to a scripted ending the pressure comes entirely from the virus's own math. Every 10 patches makes it worse. Every rack you save is one less drain on the pool, but every new duplication event is one more thing to track. Runs end when the Data Pool hits zero, and your score patches survived and time alive goes straight to a global leaderboard. 23 WAYS TO GET GOOD AT THIS From your First Patch to becoming a Century Club veteran with 100 lifetime patches, Packet Loss tracks real skill expression: Rapid Response and Lightning Reflexes for patching infected racks the instant they go down, Speed Demon for stringing five of those together in a row, Clutch Save for pulling a rack back from the brink with your Data Pool in the single digits, Area Denial for a tower placement that cures three-plus racks at once, and Chaos Contained for surviving a moment with eight or more racks infected simultaneously among many others. FEEL OF THE GAME Packet Loss leans into its "Bad Connection" jam theme with a server-room atmosphere: a buzzer that sounds every time a rack goes down, a low ambient hum running under everything, and a status screen that keeps your Data Pool, patch count, uptime, infected count, antivirus tower status, and stamina all in view without ever pulling you out of the top-down action. Dialogs from your ops assistant walk you through new tools and danger thresholds exactly when you need them, so the tutorial never front-loads more than you can use at once. No wave counter. No boss fight. Just a Data Pool draining a little faster every time you look away and a leaderboard that remembers exactly how long you lasted.

6 minutes. 12 neighbors. A shelter that won't hold. A tornado is bearing down on your town, and you're the shelter commander — not a hero with super-strength, but a coordinator under a brutal countdown. You can't save everyone with your own two hands. Your real job is deciding who you rescue yourself, who you hand off to a helper, and how much precious time you steal from the rescue to reinforce the shelter before impact. This isn't a game about reflexes. It's a game about triage under the clock. - Rescue — sound the siren, call neighbors to follow you, carry the wounded, calm the panicked. - Delegate — recruit specialists (the Strong Neighbor, the Paramedic, the Mechanic) and give orders through a radial command wheel. A good assignment buys you time. A bad one is time you never get back. - Reinforce — board the windows, brace the door, shore up the generator. But every second spent reinforcing is a second you're not rescuing. No enemies. No bullets. Just you, a six-minute clock, and the impossible math of who gets to live. 🌪️ Climb the global Storm Score leaderboard. Optimize your route. Decide who doesn't make it. Controls - WASD — Move · Mouse — Look · Shift — Run - E — Interact / hold for siren, reinforce, carry - Q — Hold to open the order wheel, release on a target to command a helper - LMB — Call a civilian to follow · F — Flashlight · Esc — Pause / release cursor A 2-day game jam build — Unity 6 · WebGL. Best played in Chrome or Firefox.

BadLuck Tano is a cozy management game based on the very real misfortunes of my friend Tano, who is currently surviving what should have been a simple renovation of his first family home. Unfortunately for him, every week seems to bring a new disaster: delays, budget overruns, mysterious leaks, suspicious contractors, surprise repairs, and enough stress to power a small city. As a friend, I should probably have offered emotional support. Instead, I made a game about it. You have 10 weeks to complete the renovation while managing workers, budgets, unexpected disasters, stress levels, family relationships, and the endless stream of surprises that every renovation seems to generate. Hire contractors, negotiate prices, assign crews to rooms, deal with leaks, hidden problems, questionable workmanship, and try to keep Tano's mood, health, and family life from collapsing before the project is finished. Features 🏠 Manage the renovation of a full apartment 👷 Hire and coordinate workers with unique personalities and skills 💸 Balance budgets, loans, and contractor costs 😅 Survive stress, exhaustion, and renovation disasters ❤️ Maintain family relationships while living through construction chaos 🎨 Customize room finishes, wall colors, and flooring materials 🎮 Cozy and relaxing management gameplay with a humorous tone 🌐 Built with Babylon.js, TypeScript, Nuxt, and modern web technologies A Personal Project This game was developed as a fun side project with Babylon.js, which remains one of my favorite tools for rapid game prototyping on the web. The story, many of the situations, and even some of the characters are inspired by real events from my friend Tano's first-home renovation journey. (Tano we love U maiFriend) Good luck. You'll need it.

Every core is redlining, and a single moment of neglect can spell disaster. Welcome to the definitive thermal simulation of digital-thermal warfare. In OVERCLOCKED: SERVER ROOM, you aren't just an admin; you are the master of a critical, complex network of powerful air ventilation and advanced liquid (water) cooling loops. Your goal is the perfect, unsustainable core temperature. Over-aggressive cooling is equally deadly. Pump too much water, and the pipes will freeze, crack, and rupture, creating a massive flood, extensive water damage, and immediate system shutdown.
