BOH is a unique retro-flavoured puzzle-riddled maze game. The player moves in claustrophobic, mysterious, dangerous battlefields searching for the Evil Masters, who throw countless enemies at you until you discover and face them in the final battle. Although quests are made slightly less hard by the power-ups scattered all around, carrying out the missions demands lots of concentration and quick reflexes. New missions and themes can be added anytime, and you can even create your own.
CloneRNX is a simple and funny game. It was cloned from the popular Facebook application called ChainRNX. While the original version of the game is a Flash application and it can be executed only within a Facebook account, CloneRNX is a Java desktop application that can be launched on any desktop system.
XorCurses is a game based entirely on Xor by Astral Software. The original game was released around 1987 for the 8-bit home computers popular at the time. XorCurses attempts to faithfully recreate that game for Linux, but slightly ironically, uses ASCII characters instead of pixel based graphics (which even the 8-bit computers could manage). The idea of Xor is to roam around a series of mazes collecting masks. The first level is simply a matter of finding your way around, but the second level introduces fish and chickens which block your path or kill you if they hit you. From there on in, things get progressively tougher and really is a challenging and difficult puzzle game.
Chroma is an abstract puzzle game in which a variety of colorful shapes are arranged in a series of increasingly complex patterns, forming fiendish traps that must be disarmed and mysterious puzzles that must be manipulated in order to give up their subtle secrets. Initially, it is so straightforward that anyone can pick it up and begin to play, yet it gradually becomes difficult enough to tax even the brightest of minds. It features twenty-one levels, ranging from beginner to expert; infinite undo and redo capability, as well as replaying of solutions; a choice of smooth graphics or a minimal, text based version; and a level editor to allow you to design your own puzzles.
Octaspire Crates! is a scriptable, skinnable, extensible, and relocatable 3D action puzzle game. All the missions, game entities (or crates), game states, and configuration of the game engine are implemented as plain text Lua-scripts. So, if you know Lua, you can write new game entities, game states, missions, and levels with any text editor, without any special development tools. New skins can be created with any image editor that can save .png images, dropped into a new subdirectory under the resources/textures directory, and changed in the configuration file config.lua. Crates has also its own (simple) implementations for all the different container classes it needs (like vector, string, and so on) to keep the external dependencies fewer.
Brain Party is a fun, family-friendly puzzle game that's made up of 36 mini-games designed to push your brain to its limits by testing memory, logic, mathematics, reaction time, and more.

If you do well enough, there are six extra mini-games that can be unlocked, as well as a new game mode designed to keep you playing and enjoying your favorite games even longer.
