The original Make Ten is extremely good - like one of the best casual puzzle concepts I’ve seen in a decade. It’s as satisfying as Bejewelled. Excited to pick this expanded version up!
New game: Make Ten Deluxe! Select numbers that add to ten, easy. Then try dozens of wild variants -- 35+ modes
These are the most surprising, challenging, or otherwise delightful modes that I've made over the past year. Enjoy!
$10 / free demo (-20% sale!)

two-three-five!! it's great, check it out. a tiny little droqen experience, succinct and provoking
i made a droqever sometime last year inspired by pancelor's earlier make ten explorations! i ALMOST NEVER do this, but i unlocked my make-ten-like, "two-three-five", so you can play it!

i really like "the end of gameplay" (releasing today), with a few caveats. i think if you approach it cynically, you won't like it. also, if you are hoping it will clarify what "kill gameplay" means, you will probably just become more confused. that said, i found it very beautiful and cute
i made a video of me talking passionately to da camera about kill gameplay, the end of gameplay, a little bit about the droqevers.
it'll premiere tomorrow (15h from now) if you want to watch it with me & others?
and when it ends, The End of Gameplay will be released.

I remember our talk about how most games don't let you "turn to any page" like books do, while trying to decide how to give players all these new modes without it being overwhelming. In the end I put up some easily-vaulted walls just to organize and convey intent. like book pages! kill gameplay

a major issue with video games is that they produce a bunch of people who consider themselves brain geniuses for solving problems that were designed to be solvable. as a remedy, we should be making more games that are actively and irreconcilably hostile to the player. thank you
