Free and experimental games from September 2023

Joseph Mansfield, 7 October 2023

We're back with another selection of free and experimental games released throughout September, most of them playable directly in your browser! There's quite a variety this time, including spacefaring pigs in a strategic resource management game, memories of an old football match, and cryptic puzzler about toilet rolls in the desert.

Have a scroll through, find something that catches your eye, and pass the time with a little brainteaser!

Grey Room

Developed by Hempuli.

A small, small escape room game I made in 2008 that was inspired by similar flash games of the time. The game is so small and simple that I thought it'd be fun to HTML5-ize it.

Quartz

Developed by Raindrinker and Corey Hardt.

Drag tiles to the board to play, right-click to rotate. Make connections and pursue a high score.

FLOOOOWERS

Developed by Daniel Jakob.

A flower growing puzzle game

Mini Settlers

Mini Settlers is a minimalistic city builder! Settle islands, construct cities, and design efficient logistic networks to fulfill your buildings' needs and fuel population growth to adventure into new worlds.

Xenograft

Developed by spiderzone.

Stack cards to find and create new combinations. Keep your ship intact and crew alive until you find a habitable planet hidden in the deck.

Casual Crusade

Use your deck of tiles to build a path covering all the lands spreading the good word while also pillaging some rewards as additions to your deck or sometimes even blessing you with some powerful abilities.

Your grandpa and his friends will forever remember that moment when their team scored a golden goal in the championship game. In this cosy puzzle game, you relive those memories with them.

Courtyard

COURTYARD is a classic sokoban adventure that takes place on a single map. No extra mechanics or gimmicks, just good ol' block pushing.

Imbue

Developed by wryandbeary.

The imbuement machine must only be operated by licensed professionals with proper supervision nearby. USE EXTREME CAUTION! Imbuing or extracting traits from crates is INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS for the untrained and is in most cases UNNECESSARY and NOT RECOMMENDED.

Crossle

Developed by Rianna (vividfax).

Stitch all of the crosses in the daily challenge cross-stitch pattern using the least amount of thread. When you're done, click on the starting point to close the loop and get your score.
