All that is needed is an easy way to identify the games listed. The title of the game in text under the pics would work.

The main problem is, that the theme I'm using is quite closed, so I can hardly modify it. There is also a very nice theme, which would fit perfectly, unfortunatley it's too expensive for me (49$)
I'll try to figure out how to fix it. What I could do at the moment is a list of all games posted listed alphabetically.

Are you going to try to add all the freeware Mac games in existence? If so, maybe the folks here could help out by listing games and links to their sites.

Quite, I don't know if it's possible to list ALL games, but it's worth a try. Though, there were also games which aren't accessible anymore (because the developer closed the website) or which turned into shareware.

Yesterday I've found a game like "Space Invaders". It was a project of an artist. The "clue" was it had "real-life consequences". So every time you shot an alien one file on your hard drive will be unrecoverable deleted. On the other hand if you die yourself the game deletes itself.
I decided not to post it, though the developer absolutely warns about. It's some kind of weird art  

I'm absolutely glad if someone suggest a game. Some games are really hard to find, though they are really good

By the way, I've finally found the Feist demo on my Time Machine backup. Does anyone know if it's ok to upload and post it? Because the developer has took down the download link on the official site (and I've found no download in the internet elsewhere)

A rollover would be really a nice improvement. I'll see what I can do , but it's not going to be very easy, though.  

jQuery is your friend!

Edit: oh... you are stuck in a template and theme ... ah... er... nm jquery then.

I know, but I'm a Javascript-noob

I assumed you could alter the HTML code.  How restrictive is the template?  If you use "view source" in your browser and copy the code, can you then change/add to it and reload it?

Anyway, don't worry about it if it is a hassle, but if it is possible to do easily, just add an text alphabetical list with links to each of the game descriptions.  I just noticed you have a display as list link that seems to list all the games in alphabetical order.  That works except there seems to be a bug when you scroll to the bottom of the page:  an error occurs and the page goes blank!

I bookmarked your site.  Thanks.

Yes I can edit it, but the template is pretty jumbled up with javascripts and (i guess) php. I know CSS, but it's really hard to change things in this template. Well, I think I'll have to experiment a lot

Experiment on a copy!

Experiment on live! Thats how we do it in the production world ... give the public betas and broken stuff while you fiddle with it and get ~valuable feedback~.

I've totally updated the site, furthermore I've got an own domain for it now and switched from tumblr to wordpress.
I also added a rating-system and things like alphabetical lists

Hope you enjoy it

This marks the second time in 17 years on the internet that I've found spam useful.

The link is full of games that are that good?

I especially enjoyed Tiny and Big. Cellshaded, odd physics, beta demo, thing. Actually will look forward to the full thing when they are finished.

Yup, I like the style. Although I think the gameplay needs some polish: I found it a bit too easy to get stuck at certain points, leading to an obligatory suicide to try again. But since it's a pretty early beta (0.2 wasn't it?), I have hopes for the fully finished game.

Yeah, its pretty crazy just being able to slice up crap and watch it all fall. It would be really wicked if down the line, they add scroll-wheel ability on the grapple to reel-in/out the cable so you can climb up and down stuff. Coupled with a bit of repel jumping.

They have the ground works for an amazing puzzler/third person unique game with a odd sense of humor and graphics style. If it ends up being pay-ware, I will be buying it.
