Featuring a wide variety of tests and puzzles for you to try and figure out, the Moron Test is a great time killer. Don’t worry if you don’t do well, the tests get really hard.
Back in February we got wind of a new game that Polarbit and Pinyl were working on called Chess: Battle of the Elements which takes the original game of Chess, mixes it with the four elements and tosses in a dash of multiplayer for good measure.

OrangePixel and their ridiculously popular and fun retro platformer called Meganoid is getting an update that will bring some Eastern love to the Meganoid world.
