RapStronaut is a game that starts without much explanation. You are Rap, a guy that, without context, is sent to space in order to collect items, pick up emeralds and evade pink clouds and blue cartoony helicopters. The gameplay, as I mentioned in the title, works as a watered down version …

Letter Club is a 1 v 1 free to play letter puzzle game similar to Boggle. The game will randomly pair you up with another player around the world and the goal is to make as many words as possible within a given amount of time. You’re given a grid …

Flying Slime is a cute, little game about a cute, little slime looking for orange, glowy things with its cute, little… tentacles. Despite the title, our titular, goopy hero doesn’t fly so much as it does swing, and the momentum generated by its tentacle-y antics is the core of the …

Magic Mansion by Nitrome is probably best categorized as an endless, vertical runner, or more like an endless climber in this instance, with randomized levels. You begin with a witch, but after gathering coins, you can unlock other avatars as well. No matter what you look like, every character plays …
