Games are changing hands.
The next era is not being built in studios. It is being hive-coded: creators building in public, while their audiences make real decisions that land in the game.
We defined the category, and we track every game in it. This is the thesis.

Radar Love. Just sharing a little love for five indie games:
Number Beasts: Bond Lab by James Gray / Honest Little Apps: the number is the projectile — a 7 into a 5 makes ten and carries the leftover 2 into the next beast, and the Beast Workshop solver proves your board and sets par before you share it as a code: apps.apple.com/us/app/number…
The Switched Lunch — At Yours by Sharon Onyinye: a complete lunch-swap deduction solved by pure elimination — four clues, three friends, nobody got their own lunch, and Maya's one message cascades into reconstructing all three bags: playatyours.com/play/the-swi…
The Last Greenhouse by Krzysztof Radomski / Mechanical Armadillo: restore a greenhouse with Pip, a small robot, in a cozy game where nothing wilts because you missed a day — and the complete game is free, with no ads and no purchases: apps.apple.com/app/id6815794…
mAusee by Peter_works_1: a tactical FPS playtest you can play offline against bots across four original maps, then host friends privately on the same build, unlocking weapon finishes that stay saved locally on your PC: peter-works-1.itch.io/mausee
Sword Shield Game by Mingon Kim: a card-battle RPG where you see the enemy's next move before you commit, so every turn is a read rather than a guess — free in the browser and on iPhone, with no ads or purchases: swordshieldgame.itch.io/swor…

Every game in the edition deserves its art. Adding the three that rode without it, starting with Number Beasts: Bond Lab by Honest Little Apps: the number is the projectile, a 7 into a 5 makes ten and carries the leftover. apps.apple.com/us/app/number…
Pigeons Must Die — co-op roguelite shooter vs suspicious birds. store.steampowered.com/app/5…
Orbit Foundry — building the station is the deliverable. store.steampowered.com/app/5…
My Staff Are Dead! — paranormal tycoon, literal staff turnover. store.steampowered.com/app/5…

And the game launches on the 11th! 🚀 If you haven't wishlisted yet, now's the perfect time — it really does make a difference.

~$2k in @fal, @ElevenLabs, @tripoai credits and one month of Claude 20x. This is what I made.
• build your mech piece by piece
• dual wield by default
• fight on a spinning space station
• grapple off and duel in open space
Pre-alpha out now. Multiplayer soon. Inspired by @TimSweeneyEpic's recent perspective on the space

Radar Love. Not a SpawnWatch listing or ranking, just a little love for five indie games:
Galactic Realms: Quest for the Forgotten by Galactic Realms Labs: a PvE-only extraction RPG where the tension points at the dungeon, not other players, and you choose when to push deeper or extract with what you found: store.steampowered.com/app/3…
Limbival by Cryers For The Future: a limbless arena roguelite where you attach the limbs you take from circus monsters, master them, and evolve them to escape: store.steampowered.com/app/2…
Brickstorm Arena by rocaitor: a Roblox MOBA where you draft 1 of 3 abilities and upgrade every round, with a solo or co-op PvE story campaign alongside the 5v5 and 2v2 PvP: roblox.com/games/11327090141…
Empire Business Simulator by Lacey Rochelle: type your own business decision instead of picking from a list, and the sim runs it and bills you for the delayed consequences: empirebusinesssimulator.com
Abyss Expedition - Roguelike by Jaehoon Lee / SONGISTORE: a finite loot board where every draw removes an item, so you decide whether to chase the rare piece, clear the board for its bonus, or refresh before the expedition: play.google.com/store/apps/d…
