01. THE FEATURED | Reactor Rescue
Category: Tabletop Games
The Pitch: Race to repair your spacecraft using real electronic circuits! Collect resources, outsmart opponents, and save the city of Electra. The Dev’s Eye: For 1-4 players, I love the physical-to-digital logic here. It’s rare to see a board game act as a hardware sandbox.

Category: Video Games
The Pitch: A puzzle indie-dev project where you overlap computer windows to create traversable, top-down landscapes! The Logic: Not only does this game have really amazing pixel art, it has cool mechanics. Drag windows around to make it to the finish!

04. ENDING SOON! | Dice Throne Digital
Category: Video Games
The Pitch: A cross-platform version of Dice Throne featuring a brand-new roguelike campaign! The Verdict: If you’ve enjoyed Dice Thrones, this is for you! Translating a high-tactile dice game to digital is a UI nightmare, but these guys have nailed the ‘feel’ of the roll. Not only does it allow you to play anywhere it features online capabilities allowing you to play with anyone!
