2D golf roguelike for Windows, free on GOG for Amazon Prime subscribers until 11th December. I grabbed it when it was free on Epic last year and it's pretty good fun, though the difficulty is all over the place and it can be pretty buggy!

>Cursed to Golf offers a fresh take on the golfing and roguelike subgenres. Make your way through a hole within the PAR Count or your curse will take you back to the beginning of the course! To add to the challenge, these courses don't just have bunkers and rough spots but are also chock-full of mad obstacles like high-powered fans, spikes, TNT boxes, teleporters, and a whole load more. It's all par for the course in this twisted take on the classic game!

Indie racing game for Windows, free on IndieGala

>Off-Road Drive, the off-road racing simulation for PC, is the first game ever to deliver a true-to-life, off-road, extreme racing experience. Players will take part in The Russian trophy, Off-Road Trial, Thai Trophy and many other events through the worst driving conditions with a variety of natural obstacles like swamps, rocks, snow and sand.

>No other game features this variety of off-road sport vehicles including tuned stock SUVs and trucks, as well as several classes of prototypes specifically built for off-road driving. The vehicles can be equipped with an assortment of special cross-country equipment and accessories including winches, low gear, differential gear locking, clinometer, altimeter, tire air pressure control, sand tracks, etc.

>There has never been such an innovative simulation of interactive terrain response as well. Terrain under the vehicle will act just like it does in real life, the car will sink in dirt, the dirt will create a rut and will stick to the car and tires affecting its handling. Stones will fly from underneath the wheels and damage other trucks. The game will feature various surfaces that will not only affect tire friction but have complex reactions based on car weight, speed, wheel torque, tire condition, time on this surface, depth of car immersion into the surface and much more.

Welcome to Happyhills, the town where you can indulge your deepest desires, make your wildest dreams come true, and slaughter anyone in your path. In this case, all three of these are the same. Welcome the citizens of Happyhills in your way!
