- War of Dots: A minimalist real-time strategy game that uses colored dots on a 2D map and two unit types, described as easy to learn with tactical depth.
- Giant Snake Girl Wants The Burger!: A puzzle-oriented take on the classic Snake concept.
- Party Party Anxiety: A card-based dating game that uses cue cards for conversation and an anxiety meter that alters date visuals.
