Thinky Games

Free and experimental games from March 2024

Joseph Mansfield, 15 April 2024

It is truly the golden age of Hempuli block pushers — they just keep on coming! Alongside them, we have a bunch more great experimental games, like a language-deciphering sokoban mash-up, a game inspired by Photoshop's magic wand tool, and a Scrabble deckbuilder (which happens to be our current Thinky Games Club selection!).

Have a scroll through this list for something free and experimental to get your brain whirring.

Fixban

Developed by smyrnensis.

Fixban is a short sokoban-style puzzle game, but the crates become fixed to the targets.

Cavemount

Developed by Hempuli.

We decided to take a break from all those block-pushing games and make a hack'n'slash game instead.

Hold on for a bit, our programmer is trying to say something urgent

Permaban

Developed by Hempuli.

We went too far

Haldun Limaskan

Developed by Jonah Ostroff.

A language-deciphering block-pushing game inspired by Chants of Sennaar.

CYOM

Developed by Hempuli.

Boxes? And pushing? Who would've thought!

UDLR_Modify

Developed by Idolon.

Aberration: A temporary change from the typical or usual way of behaving. To reach your goal, you must change yourself.

Shape Magic

Developed by Oscar.

A very short geometry puzzle game about combining and cutting up shapes. Use the magic wand tool (like in Photoshop) to select and move shapes around.

Maintenance

Developed by lethargic.

THE STRUCTURE MAINTENANCE IS SCHEDULED FOR 05.04.73

You are a calibration inspector. Don't hold on to your memories and follow instructions. Contact your supervisor if you have any questions.

Trichromat

Developed by spratt.

This game was made in 2 weeks for the Acerola Jam 0. The theme was "aberration" and we were warned against using chromatic aberration as our starting point. Naturally, I ignored this advice.

SPLICE CORE

Developed by Quintin.

In this Sokoban-style puzzle game, navigate your way past security by utilizing a space folding mechanic. Features 8 levels.

The Boxed Visionary

Developed by Rowbay.

Follow Robbie in this 2D sokoban-style puzzle game with a unique mechanic: Only the objects that are in Robbie's boxy vision will be active.

I Contain Multitudes

Developed by wryandbeary.

Explore the patterns you're made of.

Trovemount

Developed by Hempuli.

The covemountlike series gets a great new addition in this game about pushing blocks!

Covechrome

Developed by Hempuli.

Statistics have shown that Ueqouow is either the most or least popular covemountlike, or somewhere in-between. Now we're trying to chase that same high/low/midpoint!

Mayban

Developed by Hempuli.

We've been informed of the existence of colours. This is very troubling.

Seuphorica

Developed by Zeno Rogue.

Like single-player Scrabble, but with deckbuilding.

In Seuphorica, you place words on a board, in a crossword fashion. You start with only standard tiles with letters, but you can buy new tiles with special powers!
