I don't tend to play games much personally that aren't ones I am developing
at the time. When I do play games, what I play kind of depends on a lot of
factors and is selected from a huge pool. I can make some recommendations,
though (in no particular order):
- Any of the games by Kenta Cho (Torus Trooper, Tumiki Fighters, etc)
- Alex the Allegator 4
- Kobo Deluxe
- Dopewars
- MegaGlest
- Warzone 2100
- Xonotic
- Konquest
- OpenClonk
- Hedgewars
- Battle Tanks
- GLTron or Armagetron
- Endgame: Singularity
- Scavenger (either XScavenger or, preferably, SDLScav)
- Powermanga
- Project: Starfighter
These are games that I personally think are great, and the last one is one
I've worked on (I'm the current maintainer).
