1FROM ASHES, BLOOM - A minimalist rogue-like tower defense where you protect Earth against humanity.
Mar 11, 2024
In this game, you can…
- plant rings of trees around a central tree until enemies can't reach it.
- grow seven lines of trees until the screen is so full of projectiles the game starts dropping frames.
- step in as an invincible walking disaster and wipe out human attackers when your plants aren't enough.
- stack tree synergies until your forest snowballs from scrambling to overwhelming board control in a single run.
- turn your planted forest into an artillery wall while you roam around and directly attack anything that slips through.
- plant a full ring, unlock the next ring, expand outward, and upgrade both your forest and your creature at the same time.
- read enemy roles instantly from their gear, then swap targets on the fly as axe users rush in and gunners hang back.
- mix tree types into a defense ecosystem where some act as walls, some shoot, and some tank harder when clustered.
2Star Swarm Stress Test - Welcome to the newest frontier in gaming: battles and scenes at the scale of armies and fleets, all active at once with no trickery around loading screens or off-screen abstractions.

In this game, you can…
- watch 10,000+ ships fight at once in real time.
- see thousands of individual ships navigate, dodge, and choose targets on their own.
- run a six-minute benchmark that spits out a detailed file of your FPS, unit counts, and when things started struggling.
- launch the test and watch the battle thicken until your machine visibly slows under the swarm.
- sit back while the scene runs on autopilot and the fleets keep maneuvering and trading fire without you.
- see film-style motion blur and lighting while huge fleets streak past and fill space with bright weapon effects.
3Wiggly Boy - Wiggly Boy is a sobering look at the power of your computer.
Sep 23, 2020
In this game, you can…
- use the spawn key as a PC stress test, pushing the boy count until your frame rate collapses.
- turn a benchmark into survival when the spawned boys get angry and chase you, and you banana them until you're overwhelmed.
- rack up absurd counts like 133,000 wiggly boys and keep playing as the map or physics starts breaking under the pile.
- spawn wiggly boys until they swarm the world and physically engulf you.
- build an army of wiggly boys, then run across the tops of them like a moving crowd wave.
- shoot a wiggly boy and have the game spiral into breaking your PC.
- fall off the map and still end up with thousands of wiggly boys roaming the world above.

- snap to sudden on-screen signals and measure your reaction speed.
- memorize a pattern and repeat it as the sequence keeps growing longer.
- chase personal bests by retrying a test the moment you hit your limit.

- push a 30fps video up to 60fps, 120fps, or even 240fps using x2, x4, or x8 frame generation.
- turn a 30fps clip into x2, x4, or x8 slow motion while keeping the motion detailed instead of blurry.
- pause frame generation mid-process and resume later without restarting the whole job.
- generate new frames entirely offline on your own PC, with no internet connection involved.
- run the same frame-generation task on AMD, Intel, or Nvidia GPUs, including multi-GPU setups.
- resize a video before generating frames, so the interpolation happens on the new dimensions instead of the original.
- feed in mp4, webm, mkv, flv, gif, avi, mov, mpg, qt, or 3gp files and run them through the same process.
6Blue Fury - A helicopter combat game inspired by classic 16-bit titles. Destroy tanks, eliminate enemy forces, and rescue soldiers before an enemy missile launches. Manage fuel, ammunition, and altitude while engaging helicopters and avoiding AA launchers over procedurally generated terrain.

- watch a live battle unfold in benchmark mode while NPC armies fight it out on their own.
- race a missile-silo countdown on a freshly generated island.
- switch from minigun to rockets to air-to-air missiles as targets escalate from infantry to armor to helicopters.
