About

Lavalord

Features
Read full description

Lavalord is a fast, physics-driven multiplayer brawler. Two to four mages square off on a circular island in a sea of lava โ€” and the island is shrinking. Your spells aren't about damage, they're about position: every blast, dash, and fireball is built to SHOVE your opponents toward the edge. Last one standing wins. KNOCKBACK IS THE GAME Forget health bars. Victory is about where you stand and where you push everyone else. Read your opponents, bait their moves, and launch them into the lava. QUICK MATCHES, BIG SWINGS Rounds last a couple of minutes. Death is sudden, comebacks are constant, and one well-aimed blast can flip the whole match. PICK YOUR SPELLS Build a loadout from a growing roster โ€” Fireball, Surge, Homing, Repel, Sprint, Meteor, Invisibility. Each one moves people, not just hurts them. PLAY YOUR FRIENDS Host or join a room with a simple code and battle 2โ€“4 players in real time over the internet. Or practice solo to sharpen your aim. EVER-CHANGING ARENAS Classic, Islands, Donut, Iceland, Tower, Eye โ€” each map changes how knockback and the shrinking edge play out, so no two matches feel the same. Simple to pick up. Endlessly chaotic with friends. Get pushing.

About

Sonar Deep

Features
Read full description

The trench is dark. Your sonar is the only light โ€” and every ping is a shout. Sonar Deep is a submarine roguelite where sound is everything. Ping to reveal the rocks, the salvage, the things that live down there. But sound carries: every ping tells the trench exactly where you are, and the trench remembers. STAY QUIET, GET RICH Silence multiplies your salvage. Drift in the dark, resist the urge to look, and every pickup is worth more. One ping resets it all. Your call. EIGHT THINGS LIVE DOWN THERE Stalkers hunt the sound of your pings. Sentinels punish the silence. Chargers hunt your headlamp. Wraiths feel your wake. Mimics pretend to be treasure. Mines wake when your sonar touches them. Learn what hunts what โ€” it's the only way down. BANK IT OR LOSE IT Surface with your haul and it's yours. Die at depth and the deep keeps most of it. The deeper you die, the less comes home. Push your luck โ€” that's the game. AN ENDLESS TRENCH No two dives alike. Upgrade your boat between runs: thicker hull, quieter pings, longer air. Take contracts. Race your own record line. Recover log fragments from the crew who came before you โ€” fifteen pieces of a story that did not end well. ONE DIVE A DAY, SAME TRENCH AS EVERYONE The Daily Dive gives every player the same seed. One attempt. Build a streak. TOOLS FOR THE DESPERATE A decoy that screams so you don't have to. A pulse that hurls the deep away from your hull โ€” twice per dive, and everything hears it. A buoy that winches you home, if you can survive its ten loud seconds. Descend. Listen. Get greedy. Get out.
