Overview
Description

Gauge is an experimental, minimalistic sport game that strips down gameplay to its purest form. Players control a simple paddle to bounce a ball, focusing on precision and rhythm. The game offers a clean visual style and a single-player mode that challenges you to master increasingly tight margins. Its indie arcade roots make it a quick, addictive session for anyone seeking a pure skill test.

Super Hexagon is a lightning‑fast, minimalist action game where you rotate a small triangle to avoid incoming walls in a hypnotic hexagonal arena. Developed by Terry Cavanagh with a synth‑driven soundtrack by Chipzel, it tests reflexes and rhythm in equal measure. The game offers a pure single‑player experience across Linux, Android, PC, iOS, and Mac, delivering tight controls and an ever‑increasing difficulty that rewards precision and perseverance.
