The game I've been working on this year, Clockwork Cleanup, is now available!

In Clockwork Cleanup, you're helping MAC clean up the factory after the ectoplasmic goo containment vessel breached and started manifesting monsters. It is a puzzle autobattler game where you place tiles into a grid to control the actions MAC will take during combat. The tricky thing is that each tile needs to be connected to one or more sources of elemental energy via pipelines. Draft the right set of tiles to clear all five waves and save the factory!

This is a more fleshed out version of a game jam game I worked on last year called Aetheric Twilight. This was just supposed to be a one or two month project to add a bit more to the game after the end of the jam, but it took a bit longer than expected...

Try My New Game, Pixelitos, Now FREE

I haven't shared here (because I never do) but earlier this year I released my first official game, Pixelitos!

It's a creature collecting autobattler where you build teams of Pixelitos to fight other teams from around the globe.

Hey, hey, people. Navek here.

Do you enjoy stacking dominoes in complex patterns, and experiencing euphoric joy when everything falls perfectly into place?

Have you ever wanted to lead a grand sci-if army to victory but can’t get into the micromanaging and constant unit clicking in Real-Time Strategy and 4X games?

And like the genius lyricist, Ragtime Revolutionaries, do you dig giant robots?

The Lootbound demo fascinates me. It scratched a series of my itches, handily eating an hour and a half of my Saturday evening and keeping me up past my bedtime. Days after playing it, I find my mind returning to gnaw at its design choices. It is not, I think, the game for me. But it might be the game for you. (more…)

Immutable x Olderfall wrapped up its first chapter on June 18, 2026, with 70,000 players and 2,000 Masters walking away with $wAURE rewards . Players can't get enough of how addictive and super fun the game is . But some players are bummed out by login issues and pay-to-win stuff . Fans also love how customizable the game is, making each playthrough feel unique .

Visual Design

Let's check out the visuals. The character silhouettes in olderfall are super easy to tell apart, thanks to how slim some characters look and others being all armored up. It's like night and day! The village is painted with bright, happy colors that make you feel right at home. The arena battles use dark blues and purples for a serious mood. Plus, the art looks hand-drawn in a way that feels really fluid, especially when characters move around. There are cool little details like straw dummies and colorful banners. They instantly show you this is a fantasy place without having to say it.

Striking contrasts and hand-drawn charm bring Olderfall's fantasy world to life.

Mixed Player Sentiment

Let's take a look at what the community is saying. Players say Olderfall is a blast to play because of its cool graphics and fun combat. But some hit roadblocks like logging issues or pay-to-win concerns. Fans love how deep customization lets them craft distinctive strategies, yet opinions split on the energy system's efficiency . Overall, it’s an addictive game with plenty of action and weekly tournaments to keep things spicy .

Our shill detection shows no notable pattern.

In-game character face looks like Dragonball character. …

Turch Mode

In this Olderfall interface for Stage 4 of the Ruins of the Fallen, two armored characters stand on pedestals facing each other with text that reads 'GET READY!' and a central emblem displaying crossed weapons.

POL Token Performance

POL is Polygon's liquid native coin, and Olderfall's AURE token contract was created on Polygon rather than being the network's base asset. So it's worth taking a look at how POL has been moving. POL had been sliding a bit lately, not doing as well as other gaming tokens. But around the announcement, POL started to perk up, showing some signs of life again.

- 30-day range: $0.0715 to $0.09485 - Past 90 days: -20.5% (vs. other gaming tokens: -1.7%)

First Chapter Results

Okay, charts aside, here's the big Olderfall news. Gamers, Olderfall just dropped some serious loot! Over 70,000 players took part in their first big PvP Arena battle, and a lucky 25,000 made it onto the leaderboard. The top 2,000 Masters are getting more than just bragging rights-they're raking in $wAURE rewards. That's right, real cash prizes for battling your way to the top! And guess what? More weekly tournaments are on the horizon, so stay sharp and keep building those killer gladiator teams. AutoBattler fans or anyone who loves earning while gaming won't want to miss this one!

Commenters like cryptoPoti are already wondering when they'll get back into the action on iOS devices . With such high energy around the game and all these rewards rolling out, it's clear that Olderfall isn’t slowing down anytime soon. So whether you're a long-time fan or just checking in for the first time, this is definitely one to keep an eye on!

References

More good games have been found, but I'm actually too busy MAKING games (And playing deadlock) to in-depth review them. So, short reviews here.

1: Chrono Ark

This one came out of the shadows as a dark horse, and this one is Good. It is making a huge play here, like Hades, being a Roguelike that tells a story and succeeds.

It's turn-based combat game, very very similar to darkest dungeon where you draft their moveset like a card game as you progress. Great story, great music.

The only downside would be that there is a fair amount of "Required reading" to understand the plot. But it's worth it IMO. Getting the true ending was so cinema. If you can tolerate a bit of slow pacing, then 9/10.

2: Mewgenics ARE YOU The kind of person who really likes roguelike games, but you tried binding of isaac and got put off by the annoyingness of the early game and obfuscation of the description? Then play this, it's very good. Perfect roguelike, the amount of broken combos you can make, across classes, passives, items, mutations, and breeding to make it more consistent, it's crazy fun. Personally a 9/10 but if you dont like the design could go to 6/10. 3: The Bazaar

This game is way too good to not be shilled, but it has only mostly positive/mixed reviews on steam.

Reasons are simple, it has DLC that costs more than the game and it changed the pricing model before release. BUT HEAR ME OUT! The DLC Is expansions that they release as new characters, easily another 50+ hours of play each, and you lose nothing by not buying it, and they add base game content either way. And if they had kept the F2P business model they'd be dead right now.

This game has effectively solved metas, since there are so many different builds you can go for each run that it never gets stale, and the consistency for any given build is so low, you almost NEED to adapt every game. And the art, voiceacting, and even the lore just sweetens the deal. Will probably make a longer review of this one later. 9.5/10 for me.

4: Mechabellum Continuing on the autobattler genre, Mechabellum is a more simple one, and it's primarily live multiplayer.

Pretty good and well balanced, the matches are more Rock-paper-scissors, but playing a few moves ahead can feel very rewarding. Feels like chess a bit. Pretty fun if you like that genre. 7.5/10

5: DiceOMancer

Now THIS is a game that understands: Players who play roguelike games want nothing more than to BREAK that shit wiiiiiide open. Imagine slay the spire, but you have a relic that lets you adjust ANY Number on screen.

Gold, healthbars of enemies, your health, the damage numbers of cards, your mana cost... And the card design is just as ludicrous. Also, it has fishing, and really nice artstyle. 9/10.
