b[0].x is a simple game I put together as an experiment in procedural puzzle generation. Not only are the levels randomly generated, but the mechanics are too! Try it out at brian-nether.itch.io/b0x.

(Also try my much bigger game, Golemancer, if you haven't already!)

After over a year of work, Golemancer - my biggest project to date - is now fully out! It's an isometric turn-based strategy roguelike with dozens of unique characters to recruit and power up.

Try it out at brian-nether.itch.io/golemancer!

I was bored yesterday so I put together a playable implementation of Monday's xkcd comic. brianmakesstuff.ca/slidingchess/

One of the new skills I'm working on is almost certainly overpowered... I'm going to have to make it pretty difficult to get your hands on. Still, I think the animation looks kind of cool...

In Golemancer, there are a lot of clever tricks or interactions you can use in battle. To help show some off, I'm adding a few puzzles in the next update! These are specific, pre-made battle scenarios you can access from the main menu. See if you can solve them all!
