Aground

Aground is a Mining/Crafting RPG, where there is an overarching goal, story and reason to craft and build. As you progress, you will meet new NPCs, unlock new technology, and maybe magic too. Will you be able to raise dragons? Launch into space? The sky is literally not the limit. Beneath its simple exterior, Aground hides a lot of depth and surprises that will keep you wondering “what’s next?” Survival is only the beginning. The only way for humanity to have a future is to return to the stars and confront them. But, it will require a lot of ingenuity and help to recover everything that was lost, and even that might not be enough... WHAT CAN YOU DO IN AGROUND? While it starts simple, Aground slowly evolves into a much larger game with tons of features and things to do. Here is an incomplete list: - Mine Ores, Gems, and other Resources - Build Structures - Complete Quests - Fight Enemies and Bosses - Craft Tools - Farm Crops - Cook Foods - Befriend NPCs (or not) - Advance your Technology - Discover Magic - Ride Vehicles and Mounts - Travel to other Islands and Planets - Raise Dragons - Capture Enemies - Level up your Skills - Go Fishing - Explore Secrets WHO ARE WE?

Survivalist

You start with three survivors and one road. Every gate is worth more the longer your squad shoots it — hold fire on a `+1` and watch it climb to `+20`. But gates come in pairs with a lethal pillar between them, so you have to pick a side: the `×3`, or the `+18`, and never the `÷5`. Break green crates to hit harder and blue ones to shoot faster, dodge everything solid, and kill what is coming down the lane. Every stage ends with a boss. Die, and it comes back weaker.

Stretchicorn

Stretchicorn 🦄🌈 Stretch. Snap. Shatter the cornfield. Stretchicorn is a fast, rainbow-soaked arcade combat game where you control an elastic unicorn fighting through 13 escalating trials packed with hostile kernels, strange bosses, risky powerups, and increasingly ridiculous ways to turn a horn into a weapon. Aim your head, stretch your body, and release charged Rainbow Snaps to launch yourself across the arena. Dash through enemies, ricochet attacks, graze danger at the last possible moment, smash foes into walls, and keep the pressure on to build your Style multiplier all the way to x4. The basic controls are simple. Mastering them is not. Every run is built around the tension between survival, speed, and aggression. Playing cautiously might keep your hearts intact, but the biggest Style scores come from staying close to danger, chaining attacks, parrying projectiles, taking near misses, and refusing to let the battlefield breathe. Across the 13 trials you’ll encounter distinct enemy behaviors, boss fights, and five powerups that can radically change the shape of a run. Prism Cob can set up devastating Double Rainbows, defensive pickups can rescue a collapsing run, and rare combinations can turn the screen into a cascade of color and popcorn. Four difficulty modes let the game scale from approachable to absurd. Easy is a place to learn the movement. Normal asks you to use the full combat system. Hard rewards precision and consistency. Impossible is designed for players who already understand how to exploit Stretchicorn’s movement, combo system, parries, and aggression. And reaching the apparent end may not mean the run is actually over. Wavedash adds a second layer of competition around the same gameplay, with 39 achievements, persistent stats, cloud saves, replay-trace UGC, and 11 leaderboards tracking Style, clear times, zero-powerup challenge runs, and the biggest single-slash harvests. There are quick discoveries like landing your first Rainbow Snap or parry, mastery challenges like Corn Combine, Great Grazer, and Parry Party, and long-term goals including Maize Master, Corn Prix Champion, Rainbow Royalty, and the global World’s End challenge. For players who want extra constraints, zero-powerup runs lead through achievements such as Raw Rainbow, Powerless Pony, and eventually Pure Spectrum. The Silky Style leaderboards track how stylishly you can survive Hard and Impossible without relying on a single pickup. Every full campaign can compete on both Style and Clear Time, so there is no single definition of a great run. Chase a massive score, hunt a speed PB, optimize a no-powerup route, or simply survive long enough to discover what Impossible is hiding. Keyboard and mouse are both supported. Aim, stretch, and attack with fast momentum-driven controls where positioning matters just as much as timing. 13 trials. 4 difficulties. 39 achievements. 11 leaderboards. One extremely stretchable unicorn. How far can you push the rainbow?

Sweep Saver

You are a downed signal with one working antenna. Rescue is 120 seconds out. Your radar cone is the only thing between you and the dark. Rotate it — drag, or hold an arrow key — and everything the sweep touches is dealt with. Red contacts that reach you through open air tear a piece off the cone, and a cone worn down to nothing is a signal lost. Green contacts do the opposite: catch one in the sweep and the cone widens, and the board clears. So the cone you are defending with is also the thing you are rebuilding, and every rotation is a bet about which side of the radar needs you more. Contacts come in waves, and the waves keep coming after the rescue mark. The clock never stops climbing — 120 seconds is where the story ends and the score starts. Controls: drag anywhere to aim the radar cone, or hold the left/right arrow keys. On a phone, the two arrow keys sit in the bottom-right corner.
