Grid Attack Arena is a two-player character-based game where each player issues commands to a team of robots battling in an arena with a dynamically vertical playing field. This unique mechanic gives players control over the terrain, making it a core part of the tactical decisions throughout the game.
Accretion is a dice game where you build a planet in the early days of the solar system. Small dice represent volatile dust, while large ones are iron that form a strong core. You must balance your speed against your mass to absorb other asteroids without shattering yourself. It all ends in a massive finale where the players collide with each other to see who manages to clear their orbit and become a true planet.

Heralds is a delayed strategy game that has been under development for the past 1.5 years.
The rules can be advertised as follows: build a world map, then send heralds to create new buildings or destroy those of other players. Heralds involve a pretty unique core mechanic where players take time to reach their goal.
This game might mostly echo with you if you are fond of: Carcassone, Fjords, Age of Empires.
The game is still under development, but nearing its final stages. Come and give it a try! Feedback is valued and welcome :-)
