Here is my contribution (a webapp, a.k.a. a website) http://lalo.li/lsd/ coded it years ago mostly drunk on an island in Thailand, I now like to play it again on my iPad with iPencil. Github: https://github.com/franzenzenhofer/lsd (Warning: a single, dependency less CoffeeScript source file)
Any instructions on how to play this? All I can do is draw a line that then disappears when the dot hits the bottom of the screen.

What do you mean?
Different gaming hardware engenders different games. Strategy games for PC like Stellaris or StarCraft would work like garbage on the Switch, and games like Hyper Light Drifter are horrible to control with a keyboard/mouse. Phone games are generally played to fill dead time, rather than someone spending hours strategizing like Civilization, by and large, so in these cases shallowness is a virtue. At the computer I li…
I feel this is a google/apple problem. They need to celebrate and advertise premium games more. Instead, we're stuck in a world where most games are fremium with tons of ads or IAPs, or subscriptions..... It sucks to be a gamer. I've seen some games that are on both Switch and Android. The Android one has ridiculous IAPs, and Switch is a one-time purchase. I get that it isn't the developer's fault. Premium games don'…
Are my games eligible? I own a game company named Kidoteca, our target market is small kids so we never put ads or IAP. The closest thing to ads is a section to see our other apps, but it is hidden (requires reading, to figure out how to get to it, while we expect most of our users are kids that can't read).

Shameless plug: I also made some games built with TypeScript/Phaser: https://xojoc.pw/games2d/ The code is on GitHub: https://github.com/xojoc/games2d It's a PWA[1] too, so it can be installed on some OSes. I wrote about the experience here: https://xojoc.pw/blog/experience-pwa [1]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Progressive_web...
I miss the simple, fun, free linux games of the 90s/00s. And other apps, for that matter. Somehow nowadays everyone thinks that cobbling together an RSS reader or a Solitaire game should entitle them to a permanent passive income or make them into a millionaire CEO
thanks for this!

I want devs to be able to make a living too, that's why I have ad-supported games on the list, as long as you can disable every single ad with a payment. What I hate is devs seeing me as a wallet to wring as much money out of as possible by preying on my addiction/impulses.
I love to see games that have one-time payments to permanently remove ads. This lets the creators provide a free-ish demo, but also may provide some residual income. It also allows players with less money support the creators.
Considering the amount of time I spent playing that game and the relatively cheap price, I can't complain too much, but the new game has no option to skip ads, a bunch of in-app purchases, annoying notifications some of which let you straight up cheat. Meanwhile, I have an old scrabble cd-rom from the late 90s that might run right out of the box on my windows laptop, and worst case can easily run under an emulator and I can happily play distraction free until the end of my days.
