Gish is a physics‑based platformer where you control a 12‑pound ball of tar navigating the twisted underground corridors of Dross. Using his gelatinous body, Gish can stick, stretch, and smash through obstacles while battling bizarre creatures to save Brea. The game blends puzzle solving, action, and quirky humor in a retro‑styled indie adventure. Available on Linux, PC, and Mac, it offers both single‑player and multiplayer modes for classic arcade fun.
John Rochard, a down‑on‑his‑luck astro‑miner, discovers an ancient alien structure hidden inside an asteroid and must use his gravity‑manipulating G‑Lifter to solve physics‑based puzzles and survive hostile bandits. The game blends platforming, action, and clever puzzles with humor, a twisty story, and a memorable soundtrack. Set across beautifully designed asteroid levels, Rochard offers tight controls, inventive level design, and a sci‑fi narrative that keeps players engaged from start to finish, all in a single‑player experience across multiple platforms.
