Several Indie Playtest Fest games are now available on itch.io. These builds show off the creative and experimental side of indie development. From football strategy to hoverboard racing and wasteland survival, each title offers a different kind of chaos.
⚽ Rogue Football CardGame
Developer: One Joyful Day
🎮 Play on itch.io
Rogue Football CardGame mixes football and card-battling, inspired by Tim Blacklock’s Premier Picks (Amiga, 1993). You play as AMIGA FC, facing endless CPU opponents while collecting coins mid-match to buy new cards. Between matches, visit the shop to upgrade your deck or combine cards into stronger versions.
This early build is still rough but full of potential. Players can even edit the Teams.JSON file to tweak CPU decks or rebalance opponents. It’s a nostalgic and charming tribute to Amiga-era gaming.
🏎️ Hyperboard Extreme
Developer: SlyBalto
🎮 Play on itch.io
Hyperboard Extreme revives classic PS2-style arcade racers like Burnout 3 and Blur. You’ll drift, boost, and slam rivals off the track while collecting power-ups to unleash chaos. The game features Race and Road Rage modes plus 4-player local multiplayer.
Weapons include railguns, shields, and mines. Each hit earns you boost, while daring drifts and jumps keep the energy high. It’s colorful, fast, and absolutely unhinged—a love letter to the golden age of arcade racing.
🌆 Charcoal
Developer: jam_bone
🎮 Play on itch.io
Charcoal is a strategy-survival game set after the end of the world. You must scavenge ruins, gather survivors, and rebuild civilization. Move units across the wasteland, find food and resources, and expand your towns to survive.
Victory comes two ways: conquer all rival groups or reach 100 survivors, five towns, and 50 rations per turn. This alpha build offers a haunting preview of rebuilding humanity from the ashes.
