The week to September 26, 2026

"Best 2026 Godot 4 Tower Defense Game" turned up in the sweep on all seven days this week, which makes it the most reliable release in the slush. It has siblings in the same register: repos titled like ad copy, written for a search engine rather than a player. Below them sits the usual classroom layer of blackjack, number guessing, snake, sudoku, checkers and one more slot machine. Somewhere a course is teaching blackjack very thoroughly.

The other steady category was things filed under game topics that aren't games: blog posts, a voxel engine, an audio-to-SVG converter and a Windows 95 desktop recreation. A fair share of itch entries also never got past their launcher or a Unity splash screen. That says less about those games than about how little a screenshot can tell you.
