Zookeeper 2 (2025) by Vector5 Games for Commodore 64.
Match two or more animals to clear puzzle boards, but cages, bubbles, and blue goo all need a different approach. 30 levels, mouse support, and a level code system that’s pure retro.

Electroblasters (2025) by Victor Parada for Atari XL/XE.
Two players, one electric cannon each: line up, fire lightning, burst bubbles before your rival. First to blast 21 wins. Built for NOMAM’s BASIC 10-liners Contest 2025.

Intruder Alert! (2025) by Victor Parada for Atari XL/XE.
You’re a rogue humanoid fleeing a maze where guardian robots stalk your every move. One joystick, three lives, zero room for wall contact. A 10-liner contest entry that punches way above its weight.

Blasting Robots (2025) by lotto72 for Game Boy Advance.
Lotto72 brings Dr. Ludos’ Atari Lynx original to GBA hardware, building the port in Lua with BPCoreEngine. It’s a first release, bare bones but tested on real hardware. Curious how it evolves.

B-Breakout (2025) by Haegar of Synergy for Plus/4.
Type RUN, wait for the colour RAM to fill, and the ball drops from a random Y position. Move the paddle with joystick port 1, with 5 lives and the wall rebuilt every 50 points. Possibly the shortest breakout variant around.

Bomb Squad (2025) by Noah Burney for Atari XL/XE.
Beep…beep…beep… Every wire is a gamble and one wrong cut ends it. The manual holds the answer, if you can read it in time.

Battleship 10Liner (2025) by romwer for Commodore 64.
Classic naval combat, squeezed into just 10 lines of code. Ships sit horizontally only, a neat quirk of the challenge. Can you outguess the computer?

Rhino Express GBA (2025) by Vulcalien for Game Boy Advance
A neat demake of a Ludum Dare 53 winner. You guide a rhino to every mailbox, dodging pits and using obstacles to blaze the delivery route.

Santa’s Fall 2 (2024) by ing73 for Commodore 64.
Santa tumbles down a chimney and you must snatch back the presents mid-plummet. Dodging mice, bats, flames and pipes is the only way to break his fall.
