Pixel art. Easy fun. Made while learning Godot. Four small titles from when I was learning to make games — redistributables live only on this site.

2026 refreshes How they happened

Learning by shipping

These were practice runs in the Godot Engine about nine years ago — pixel art, simple rules, and enough polish to finish. In 2026, Break Out and Tic Tac Toe Survival came back rebuilt for modern devices. Free to download for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android where the builds exist.

Tic Tac Toe Survival

Back after 10 years, and we brought the cold with us. Rebuilt for modern devices — ice floes that bob and splash, drifting snow, a sinking intro ship, and wooden rope signs for every outcome.
