Fuel The Flame
David Powers (0)
Lifestyle

Focused sobriety tracker with clean design and motivational approach; likely solo developer with clear mission and local-first philosophy.

SportsUtilities

Well-designed darts scoreboard with all-around gameplay concept, clear utility for players but darts apps are established.

Blackwood Card Roguelike
Yusuf Ozkul (0)
GamesCardStrategy

Well-crafted poker roguelike with engaging mechanics, but card game market is crowded and utility is primarily entertainment.

SchildkroeteQualle
EntertainmentGames

Whimsical German underwater arcade game with playful concept, decent craft but limited utility and narrow appeal.

Thief Simulator: Sneak Robber

Standard casual stealth game with large file size but generic heist-game mechanics and no clear indie craft signals.
