02.08.2026 - C64 game 'Callback: Operation Internot' - preview free for download
'Callback: Operation Internot' is a C64 game about redemption, touching grass, and liberating the blue-light zombies from the iron grip of the feed. You'll meet innocents trapped in the algorithm and rage-baited loyalists sent to derail your mission. Win them all with kindness (and a flip phone). Current status of the preview version: Stage one, Neon City, is playable start to finish. Twenty souls, the cassette, the sprint to the exit, and everything above. A boss battle for the end of Neon City and a second, vertically scrolling level are in progress. The engine already loads levels as data - each one carries its own character set and its own cast - so stage two will be a genuinely different place rather than a reskin.

25.07.2026 - C64 game 'Skittles' released - free for download
Welcome to Skittles, a classical single player chessboard puzzle game. You have just one pawn, move it to capture all other pawns on the board. Start by choosing the pawn type: you can be a tower, a bishop or a knight. The game is easy if you are a bishop or a tower, being a knight is much harder. There're 8 easy levels and 8 hard ones, you must complete all of them. Higher levels, either easy or hard, have more pawns and get more complicated. There is one king at each level, this is the last pawn you have to capture. Don't waste your moves, they're limited. Try to capture pawns at every step.
