Here's a new little project: 1 Bit Pong

There's no info on its page, nor a video, but from the screenshots it looks like single-player pong but rotated 90deg.

Also, I couldn't spot this in any of the other posts, Mark Day is working on a re-port of Double Dragon:

And the hits keep coming! Goblin is a 2D rogue-like turn-based RPG:

And another! Tough Guy Fighting Spirits - A new fighting game from Piko Interactive, but being released through "Bleem", which I don't fully understand what it is... I think it's trying to be a steam-like service/marketplace for retro games?

Found another new project: Sir Ababol, a port of an action/platformer NES game by the Mojon Twins. Looks to be an ongoing WIP, but I'm not 100% on that

Aaand got a bunch more.

Dweep: a demake of a 1999 PC game of the same name. Sadly the download link is broken, though I guess you could build your own copy.

HugPunx: another demake from a 2013 web game of the same name

https://x.com/Haroldo0k/status/1907945877567844799

https://github.com/tttmmmsss/hugpunx







This ones a bit older but I couldn't spot it on the list anywhere, Crime City, a port of the Taito arcade game of the same name

https://x.com/masterlinkueibr/status/1837630884867944706









This final one is more of a tech demo/proof of concept than a game, so not sure if you'd want to include it; there's no "formal title" other than SGDK ASCII Roguelike. It's a procedurally generating map that you can navigate and collect items, but that seems to be all.
