Games
This is a collection of games I’ve made over the years. Most of them are quite silly, and I’ve enjoyed making them a lot.
Triptoy
Prepare to get
your mind blown by this one-of-a-kind interactive visual kaleidoscope of
experiences. Each of the 70+ toys are designed to be thoroughly relaxing and
engrossing as a perfect way to occupy your attention during those tiny gaps in
your day, or to get lost in for hours at a time.
Developed over the course of two years, Triptoy blossomed out of a love for shader effects, chaotic systems, and cellular automata. Over time, Triptoy grew to incorporate ideas from mathematics, physics, computer graphics, biology, chemistry, computer science, and abstract art. Many of the toys are inspired by or directly modeled after real physical phenomena and mathematical systems, but with an emphasis on aesthetic appeal and interactivity.
Check it out on the app store, or try the free version first.
30 Second Life
Live your
entire life, from birth to death, in 30 seconds. At every moment, your choices
determine where your life will lead. Slack off as a white collar worker, and get
laid off. If you work hard as a cat burglar, you’ll become a criminal
mastermind! Can you find the path to becoming a cyborg? A monk? A tycoon? A
messiah? Because life’s too long to live just once.
Get it on iOS here, or try the free version first.
Unshuffle
A challenging but relaxing puzzle game with beautiful
visuals. Originally for iOS, but now no longer available due to Apple imposing
too much ongoing upkeep work. My loss is your gain! Get the computer version here for free
and run it with version 0.9 of the LOVE game engine (old versions can be found here).
Dunge
Dunge is a tiny, classic
dungeon-crawler roguelike made with Pico-8. Delve deeper into the procedurally generated
dungeon, drinking potions to improve your character stats and fighting a variety
of iconic roguelike enemies. Play Dunge in the browser
here
Froguelike
Froguelike is a sumo-style, frog-based, roguelike made with Pico-8. Bop enemies off of platforms and keep yourself from
permadeath while progressing through randomly generated levels getting helpful
items along the way. Play Froguelike in the browser
here
Get Pumped!
Play as a defibrillator-happy EMT. Made with the fine
folks of Team Danger for Global Game Jam 2013 (and Judges’ choice winner). The
original version was local multiplayer and a ton of fun, but for the sake of
playability, you can download the
single-player PC version here. Controls: wasd to move, hold and release
space to charge and discharge the difibrillator. Try to shock patients into your
hospital before your opponent gets the patient into their hospital.
I Broke the Thing
I Broke the
Thing is a beautiful mess of a game made with Team Danger for Global Game
Jam 2012. You play as an alien vending machine repairman who breaks the
thing, causing a rip in spacetime. The only way to prevent your space
station from exploding is to travel back in time, fight your way past your
past-selves and get to the time machine at an earlier point in time, in order to
send yourself even further back in time. Once you go back far enough, you can
prevent the thing from breaking in the first place. Surprisingly fun to
play once you get past the poorly-explained premise. Play the game here (requires flash)
To the Death!
To the Death! is a game where you
participate in an honorable duel with your bitterest rival… or maybe your
bitterest 64 rivals. As an honorable duelist, you must take exactly ten paces,
turn, and fire. For extra honor, don’t fire until your opponent is facing you,
or better, until after they’ve fired. The longer you spend aiming, the more
accurate your shots are. Controls: spacebar to do everything, longer presses
mean bigger steps. Download for PC
here.
Rabble Rising
Rabble
Rising is a riot simulator. You play as a provocateur, trying to incite the
best riot you can. Destroying buildings yields loot, which you can spend on
molotov cocktails or summoning more rioters. Police will attempt to disperse
large crowds, but you can whip the rioters into a frenzy by accusing police or
fellow rioters of things. Download for
PC here
Hydrogen Sky
Originally made
for an April Fool’s joke game jam theme: ‘top-down Art Deco airship racing game
with quest-oriented RPG elements controlled by at most two buttons’ I liked the
theme, so I made this game. Use z/x to control thrusters on an art deco airship
as you move around the world competing in airship races. Download for PC here
Release
One continuous explosion with more broken glass than
an earthquake at a Chihuly exhibit. You play as an airplane pilot trying to make
enough money to retire through shady business practices with a window company.

Hunny Defense
Defend your hive
from the ravenous beast. Download for PC
here
Titanomachy
Zeus, Poseidon,
and Hades unite to overthrow the corrupt Cronus. Download for PC here
Wanted Wally
As a wrongly
accused fugitive, use clever hair-based disguises to evade the law and prove
your innocence. Loosely inspired by real news events and Wooly Willy, this was a
final project for a game development class. Download for PC here
Wilderness
Halfway between an art project and a game, run
through the moonlit wilderness and have a unique experience. Download for PC here
Nuclear Throne: Brucepack
This is a modpack for Nuclear Throne Together that adds a bunch of different
balancing and quality of life improvements to the game. If you have Nuclear
Throne (and you should, it’s great!), you can get Nuclear Throne Together here, which allows you to install
mods, and you can get the brucepack here.
Snakebutt
You play as a snake’s butt. Your head has a nose, so
it can find its way to food, so you can follow the head to get fed, but you can
also choose to not follow the head, if it’s heading into danger. Sometimes, it’s
best not to follow mindlessly, but to take control and avoid disaster. Built for
the LOVE game jam 2017. Get Snakebutt on itch.io here
