How well do you know America? Ink Spell: USA Place Names will test you on the spellings of some of the quirkiest names the country has to offer, its rich history and diversity coming through in the names of its states, cities, towns and communities. All you have is what kind of place it is, where it is, and how it sounds to say to anyone that lives there.
Good luck, patriot!

To celebrate GameMaker's 20th anniversary and as in entry into YoYo Games' GM20 jam, Allison James brings out the 13th annual instalment of her longest running and perhaps also stupidest series, FKR13!
FKR, or Fantastic Kinetic Reflexes, has had a version released every year since 2007. The original was made in GameMaker 6.1, meaning at least one version has been created in GameMakers 6.1, 7.0, 8.0, 8.1, HTML5, Studio and now, with FKR13, Studio 2.
As for the game... swing your green trojans around your red virus into the antivirus programs that attempt to shoot you down with their scripts of death. It's very colourful, bright, and probably not good for the photosensitive amongst you.
Finished in the 20th hour of GM20 starting.
The source can also be downloaded as per the rules for #GM20.

You've been tasked with a simple but bizarre request from business magnate Rudolf Laslo - help him get his daughter's latest (terrible) song to 1,000,000 plays on his streaming service, Slola. He's so desperate for that, that every other track on the service is currently down.
Reach 1,000,000 plays by any means possible.

It's high noon and your targets are all unarmed - but you're not! Only problem is, you've got a gun with an extremely weird quirk.
It asks you questions.
Rev%lver sees you move through quiet, serene deserts, destroying and stealing from docile robots while conserving as much of your ammunition as possible. Every time you pull the trigger, the gun needs a correct percentage level set - and the only way you can work it out is with each given question or statistic. The further away from the correct setting you are, the more ammo the gun discharges and wastes.
If you run out of ammo, scurry back and your captor will give you a refill... for a fee, of course.
Presented with small amounts of humour, Rev%lver has a 97% chance of being fun!
Created in 48 hours for GM48.

An extremely difficult game with one simple rule - do not touch.
In Ne Touchez Pas 5, you navigate 100 different levels with six different characters, all with unique control methods, attempting to reach the finish in one piece. Dodge deadly fans, evade eviscerating laser beams, and manoeuvre around moving segments, hit switches to open paths, collect optional bits and throw yourself through the void at the end of each level to progress.
Play as:
L'Oiseau, a french bird that flaps its little wings!
Jetpod, a tiny pilot with the lust for thrust!
Rockit, a rocket built for destruction but here to kick some walls!
Astro, an astronaut that doesn't know why they're here and is getting dizzy!
Car, with a full tank of petrol and a six digit milometer!
Square, just here to give people an easy mode!
Features 100 levels, 480 collectables, progress tracking, catchy music with a nostalgic easter egg for the four people that will remember the original Ne Touchez Pas games from the noughties, and a quit button for when you get stuck. You will probably get stuck.

Queen Elizabeth II is bored of being stuck with the United Kingdom. She has recruited a unique foursome of watertight buddies - The Buddy Squad - to fix that for her. By taking over the world for Blighty.
Daniel Johnston is the Welsh-ish eco-warrior with a thirst for violence - renewable violence. Mark Alexander is the Spanish Scot whose number one priority is to look cool in victory. Allison James is English, scared of loud noises, but is happy to wage war if it means she ends up with a bigger home. And the Irishman Darrell Flood? He just wants to watch the world burn.
Command the Buddy Squad's four armies around a map of the world blitzing capital cities, weakening or recruiting enemies, building British towns everywhere they go, and keeping a steady flow of troops in their midst as they conquer every square.
Britskrieg mixes strategy with idle game, and a sprinkling of education - every sovereign state that's a member of the UN in its own right (thank you Richard Osman) is represented, as well as their capitals with rough locations and their 2018 populations. And there's also a little bit of patriotism. But only a little bit. Because British patriotism is British pessimism.
Contains no Brexit humour. Breathe a sigh of relief.

Kill spiders. Collect gossamer. Trip balls.
Gossamer Girls sees you, the newest member of the eponymous all-female taskforce, exploring ancient dungeons, untouched by humanity for generations and overrun by clusters of spiders that produce valuable gossamer.
Dungeons are procedurally generated, containing ever increasing quantities of spiders with escalating threat, and connected by falling sections in which you descend through dangerous but rewarding neon tunnels. Start off with a randomly generated character and upgrade her through chests found on floors and powerups found in the falls between, all the while collecting as much gossamer as you can, using some as ammunition to defeat threats.
Also features a dynamic soundtrack that fades tracks in and out for each floor and fall, because I'm an idiot and decided that a time-constrained game jam was the first time to experiment with it.
