Hugger-Mugger is Ganksoft’s LynxJam 2025 entry.

Hugger-Mugger is a strategic, arcade-style puzzle game where you toss blocks into shifting formations to eliminate matching patterns under a strict time limit. Each move changes the board, demanding quick thinking, smart positioning, and efficient clears. Easy to pick up but deceptively deep, Hugger-Mugger turns every throw into a high-stakes decision.

Grogger v1.4 is now available! This version includes improved gameplay mechanics and bug fixes. Head over to the Grogger page to download the latest version.

Grogger has been updated with high score support and various bug fixes:

• By popular demand, high score shown at top right of screen
• Fix bartender animation “hang” that occurs after the first game
• Fix bug where game didn’t score properly starting at level 5

Enjoy!

We wrote this demo for Microsoft back in 2015, however it was never available from the Xbox or Windows Store. We have updated the title, added leaderboards, and now it has a proper release on both Xbox One and PC.

Head Banger is now available on Windows 10/11 and Xbox One. Head over to the Head Banger page to download the latest version.

After a long hiatus after the discontinuation of Xbox Live Community/Indie Games on Xbox 360, we have updated Head Banger and re-released it on Windows 10/11 and Xbox One as a free download. This re-release includes an upgrade in resolution, a new “About” section with the history of the title, and various other small tweaks to make it play a bit better.

Please see the updated Head Banger page for more details and links to download.

Welcome to the new Ganksoft Entertainment!

The last news item on the old site was dated 2007. I guess it was time for an update. Some things to look out for…

• A new AI-generated logo!
• A new AI-generated theme!
• A new AI-generated hero image!

I have added some old, canceled titles just for posterity. Maybe some of our old fans will find them entertaining.

Additionally, we have a new Atari Lynx game named Grogger. And more coming soon…stay tuned!
