Toxic Games
Melee
A neon arena, a sword, an axe, and a bow. Rounds are short and nothing unlocks. Open the link and you are in the match.
Landlord
You start with a desk and $20,000. Buy buildings, repair them, screen tenants, collect rent. Rent lands on schedule whether or not you are watching.
Acres
One field, four seasons, and a clock that keeps running. Plant, tend, harvest, process, sell. Weather and prices move on their own.
Synth
Not a game. A synthesizer for short sounds — podcast stingers, notification blips, idents. Stack layers, move the sliders, export a .wav.
