Help Me Choose My Next Indie Game!

Making games has always been a dream of mine, and this year, I’ve finally committed to publishing one. I started with a handful of ideas in Godot 4, but instead of completing one game, I ended up with eight different prototypes. At first, this felt like a setback, but then I thought—why not let you decide which one gets fully developed and released for desktop and mobile later this year?

I’m documenting my journey—both the successes and struggles—so you can be part of the development process. You can check out my first devlog on Youtube.

Below are my eight game prototypes. Take a look and let me know which one excites you the most!

1. Snaxplorers: Card Adventure

Embark on a space adventure where food and mystery collide! You play as Carlos, a chef searching for his missing uncle across alien worlds. His only clue? A mysterious recipe book left behind.

Using his abandoned food truck, Stellar Bites, Carlos must take orders and hunt for rare ingredients, navigating a solitaire-style card game to collect them. Some customers may even hold vital clues to his uncle’s fate.

Travel to bizarre, food-themed planets—like the molten cheese rivers of Fondue Prime or the candy-crusted canyons of Gelatina-9—each offering unique challenges, ingredients, and characters.  

A mix of Strange Horticulture and Card Crawl, this game blends exploration, strategy, and storytelling. 

2. ZigZagZoo Puzzles

Create the ultimate zoo by drawing enclosures for animals in this relaxing puzzle game. Inspired by The Witness, it encourages observation and experimentation—there are no tutorials, just the challenge of understanding what each animal needs to thrive.

Some animals enjoy solitude, while others prefer being in groups. Some just don’t get along at all! As you solve puzzles, new species appear, adding fresh challenges to your growing zoo.

3. Dice Divers

Descend into the mysterious Luminous Rift, a deep-sea abyss rumored to contain rare species, hidden artifacts, and untold dangers.

You play as Dr. Mira Corvin, piloting the Abyss Voyager. Your movements are dictated by rolling and placing dice, strategically slotting them into your submarine’s machinery to navigate, upgrade defenses, and fight off deep-sea creatures.

The deeper you go, the tougher the enemies and the rarer the discoveries. Can you survive the depths and uncover the secrets lurking below?

4. Recoil Ruins

A fast-paced, breakout-style roguelike where every bounce counts! Play as an explorer searching for ancient artifacts in perilous ruins.

By matching colors and breaking blocks, you’ll dodge traps, maneuver through dangerous chambers, and collect power-ups to help you reach the final chamber that contains a mysterious artifact. Each artifact you find grants a unique perk, affecting future runs.

5. Survival Shuffle

Stranded on a mysterious island with no memory, your only hope of survival lies in your (players) memory itself.

The entire island is a shuffled grid of cards. Flipping matching pairs earns you essential resources like food, water, and shelter materials. But beware—some cards reveal wild animals, traps, or unexpected challenges.

With each turn, you must carefully choose what to reveal. Can you manage your resources, avoid dangers, and survive long enough to escape?

6. Alchemy Drop

A physics-based merging game where alchemy meets chaos!

You play as a struggling alchemist trying to create gold from strange, magical ingredients. But some components behave unpredictably—causing explosions, transformations, or unexpected chain reactions.

As ingredients fall into your cauldron, you can shake things up to shift the odds in your favor. Will you master the art of alchemy?

7. Node Factory

A Factorio-meets-Mini Metro logistics puzzle game where efficiency is king.

Start with a barren landscape and transform it into a thriving industrial network. Connect resources like forests and iron mines to factories, optimize supply chains, and automate production.

As your industry grows, so do the challenges—bottlenecks, shortages, and strategic decisions will determine whether your city thrives or crumbles under pressure. 

8. Press Pass Puzzles: The Modern Art Exhibit Heist

A printable puzzle book series that blends mystery and problem-solving.

The Modern Art Exhibit Heist is the first book in a thrilling mystery series, each featuring a different mystery to solve.

Follow journalist Amelia Tavarez as she investigates a high-profile modern art exhibit heist. Solve deduction puzzles, decode hidden messages, and unravel a web of suspects to crack the case.

Designed for both print and digital play, each puzzle reveals a piece of the mystery. Will you be able to piece together the truth and reach the final chapter.
