Clarence's Big Chance

admin — Fri, 06 May 2011 10:45:07 +0000

Clarence's Big Chance is a fabulously weird platformer where you must help an overweight loser get through a workday and then go on his first ever date. You start by roaming around your house in your undies, trying to find breakfast and a toothbrush and (eventually) some pants; then it's onto the office for some hard work and dating advice from the boss, and finally the date… will you be able to get Clarence all the way? Like Jet Set Willy but better!

Rebuild

admin — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 16:38:03 +0000

Rebuild is an amazing turn based strategy game where you must rebuild a city in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. Set in a randomised city grid, you start with 4 blocks under your control and need to recruit survivors, fight off zombie attacks, manage your food and happiness, train up soldiers, research the zombie sickness and of course: expand your zone of control to succeed. It's brilliantly balanced, difficult enough to keep you retrying, and random enough to make retrying great fun. A must play!

Our Rating: 5 / 5

Hex Empire

admin — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 22:46:52 +0000

Hex Empire is a simple, stylish turn based strategy game slightly reminiscent of Risk. You pick a nation on the randomised map and start moving your armies, capturing cities and attacking your opponents. At the end of each turn all cities you control produce troops so the key is to get as many as possible early on and then work on steamrolling the 3 AI players. Ports give you access to the seas but don't produce troops and there's a few extras. Worth a few playthroughs!

Our Rating: 4 / 5

Description

Hex Empire is a strategy game, a little similiar to Risk. It has simple rules (read in-game help) but absorbing gameplay on thousands of generated maps. I hope you will enjoy!

Instructions

In-game tutorial.
